The Republican majori:y in the House of Representatives succeeded Friday in carrying out the conspira cy to ensure a reliable ma jority to enable them to seat the Republican contestants for seats 'now Democrats. Reejd played with such a high hand as' to ignore Democrats who rose to make mo tions. In spite of the protests of the minority the ' contested election case from West Virginia was taken up, and as. the- Republican of the committee reports in seating the Republican he course, be seated under - the same arbitrary . rulings which have pre vailed within the past . week. The discussion of these cases is! a mere matter of ; form, j for they iave re solved to seat every contestant in favor of whom the majority of the committee! reports, and j they will report in favor : of every Republican where there is a ghost of a fehow tq make a favorable report. It was mainly to do this the conspiracy was entered into. i-i" 1 ; The Republicans in Congress are cutting a pretty wide swath just now but they are not altogether happy. There are questions on which they will be called to legislate in . which they see in advance trouble and vex-; ation of spirit. One of these is the pension question. Gov. Hpvey of Indiana is in Washington now lobby ing for the" passage of the service pension bill, and says the soldiers won't stand any more dilly dallying or fooling on this question but expect tte party to keep its promises. The passage of this bill will increase the pension expenditures many millions, how many is not -known and cannot bp estimated. The Republicans would like to pass.it to please the Soldiers, but are afraid of the people wti will be called on to pay that in addition t6 $98,000,000 which it will take to foot the pension bills this yea r, which is $16,000,000 m&re thanji Mst year.

The Derelict Towed Into Southport Crew ;,' ; ! Landed at NewTork. The derelict schooner M. A. Bonsall, which was found on Frying-pan shoals Friday last and was brought that evening to the mouth of the river, by Southport pilots and the tug Alexander Jones, as re ported in the Star, was towed up to Southport yesterday morning by the Jones and beached on Battery Island. An effort will be made to get the ship" afloat and stop the leaksi The schooner is apparently but little damaged, although full of water. She is a large vessel and not more than eight years old. The salvors will probably get fifty per cent. of the value of the ship and cargo, The, pilots who found the Bonsall aground on Frying Pan Shoals and got her off made an agreement with Capt. Harper, of the Jokes, by which the latter is to re ceive onefthird of the salvage, whatever 'it may be. j The officers and crew of the. Bonsall were taken off by passing steamer, and landed atf New York Thursday last, j Washington, Feb. I. Mr, Randall has made, for publication a statement that the' effort made to blame Mr. Carlsle for non-reporting of rules from the committee on Rules, is ridiculous. Mr. Carlisle, he says, is one of the mi nority, not responsible for the action of the committee, and that Mr. Carlisle, to his (Randall's) knowledge, and with his concurrence and authority, has been ever ready to meet and act as the mi nority, i The Republicans have been making strenous efforts all day to obtain a quo rum of their own members in the House, to finally dispose of the pending election case without recourse to a count 'of the Democrats present and not voting. Yes terday's largest vote was 163, or two'less than a Republican quorum. ' l'. ' This morning Mr. p'Donriell, who has been unavoidably absent, returned, and the Republicans thought they saw their way clear for his vote, which, with the addition Of that of the Speaker, would : make up! 165 just a quorum. It . was soon discovered, however, that Repre sentative Neidringhans, of Missouri, had slipped away and gone over to N,ew York, to the extreme chagrin and dismay of the whippers-in.

Mr. - Rogers, of Arkansas, who was among the first speakers, stated that he had heard Representative Payne, of New ' York, say that Mr. Carlisle" was respoh- sible for the delay in the presentation of : rules, and that they would have been be-. ' fore the the House; ten days ago if he had done his duty. ; This brought Mr. Carlisle to his feet with a vigorous j denial. He said that there had been only ; three meetings of the Committee on rjules, the first being on the 23d of January. There had been no meeting in the committee room. He had received no written notice of a meet ing of the Committee on Rules since the beginning of Congress. ' But he had Jbeen sent for by the Speaker, and had ! met him and plessrs. McK.miey and Um eron at the Speaker's room at . the Speaker's request. He had been sent for to attend, two other meetings at the Speaker's request, lasting only about twenty minutes each, ! He had promptly Attended every meeting called. There had been no meeting since last Monday, i When Mr Carlisle had reluted the charge of dereliction of duty on his part, letter; wasj presented to the caucus from Representative Randall. !
