PENDIKO MATTERS IN THE SENATE. WASiUNQTOX, 'Maroh 23. Altbough the com mil tees of the Senate were all appointed a week ago, and although the two Hundred or more bills which have been introduced to that body have been referred to the appropriate committees, no attempt has been made to take up business in committee, ex cept io the investigation before tha Wallace oemmittee and the New Hampshire senatorial case before the committee on privileges and elections. Very few of the committee have even had any meeting. This is due to the general indisposition which exists in the Senate to enter on any. but the ab solutely necessary business. KELLOOTJS CASE, . Certain considerations eatar into the case of Mrr Kellogg 'whiCn are likely to have a powerful influence in his fa vor, irrespective of the question of the legality of the Legislature from which he derives his credentials. If one point made by Judge SpotTord can be sus tained, to wit, that Mr. Kellogg paid money te individual members of the Packard Legislature for their votes for him as Senator, that would make a case which oould not be defended by the Republican side of tha Chamber. Mr. Kellogg expresses, thorough cout'tupt for this charge, aud, fays tUt he can prove on Judge bpotford every charge of fraud and corruption made by that gentleman against him. THE REFCBP1CANS CLAIM THE SENATE FOR 1S3. It is contended by the republicans, they will regain po?seMou ol the Seu a'e in 1S33, if rot sooner, and tbey ikver that ii Mr. Iwllopif is ousted they vnl leialiuie by utiBtatiusf a number of the Southern fcenalor,including Wade Hamp ton, Mr. Jijuas ol Louisiana, and stve.ai other. These' intimidations or threats are taid to be prompted by Re pmblicau Senators of the lirst promi nence, who uiaiutain that the unseat ing of Mr. Kellogg on the ground that the Legislature which e'ec ed him was not a lgal body will furniah a prece dent for them to do what is outlined. The poiut midti by the Republicans is that Mr. Kellogg's case was closed when he was adiu.tied. aud. if it cau be rerpenvd, then also can the case of othtr Southern Senators be recpened. Both Mx. CoiAUug aud Mr. Edmubds have eipress?d themselves most freely with regard to the proposed reopening of the Kello.jg case, and it iskuonu that they iuieud.il cv.t a report should bo brought in from the committee on privileges aud election to unseat Mr. Kellogg, to mako the most bitter aud protracttd tight they have ever made in the teuate. ou any itue between the two p-artie. The repudiating tenden cies ol the "regenerated" governuieut of Louisiana will receive a fair share of attenliou from them. CoNTLSTS IN THE UOUSE. There were twenty-three contested elec.iou cases in the last House of Bep.esentatives. In this House there will be but eleven. The committee on elections, constituted with the usual membership, ought to be able to get through with these cases, and therefore there does not seem to be any necessi ty for increasing the number of mem bers of the elections committee to uine leeu, as was proposed the other day.

The Paris papers ridicule Prince Louis Napoleon's expedition against the Zulus.

"Would to heaven," says another, "that the Bonaparts and never had any other milittary fantasies than to go to fight the Zulus-with Britlah troopa."

An opera tenor, who is not precisely famous, recently made, for his debut, a tour through Italy with a strolling company. Ou his return he was question as to the kind of audiences he met on the other side of the mountains. "Oh " said. he. "they vary ereatly. you know. For instance, at Rome a warm public, very warm you can scarcely sing three notes when they begin to howl, and shout and throw at you apples and oranges and actually by Jovel the very benches, in the most enthusiastic manner possible. At Turin, on the contrary, they wait until you are about half through the piece, and then the parterre begin to flow out, The boxes empty themselves, and the spectators all go out, one after another, without once lifting their vomes. By Jove 1 hate thoss cool audiences!" How Pius IX. once neatly extricated himself from an embarrassing titna tion : The famous dancer, Fanny Ellsler, was at Rome during the first years of Pius IX.'s pontificate. Fanny's admir ers, wishing to give her a keepsake, opened a subscription, which produced in fcrty-eiht bours about 12,000 francs. It was decided to buy a crown, worth that amou at one of the leading jeweler, when i: was ready to present to the dansense, the subscriber?, seized with some scruples, thought best to consult the Pope. An audience with the holy father was asked and freely granted. The subscriber who had the honor to make known these scruples to Pius IX., set great account by the good qualities of the great dancer's heart, which, he said, made her a very pious and charitable person. Pius IX. anewered. "I thorization to give you, have no au nor prohibi- tion to make. I see no should oppose your plan, reason why 1 But it seems to me that you might have been better inspired in the 'election of your gift. In my priest's simplicity, I have always thought that crowns were made for heads, and tot for legs." The crown was presented, but Fanny Ellsler, who had heard of the priest's remark, distributed the value of the gift among the poor of Rome, through the medium of the priests. Pius IX. learned of this, and meeting some days afterward one of the mem bers of the deputation of subscribers, he said to him: You did well, after all, to give the crown to this woman; she has proved that she had more judgment in her legs than you had in your beads!"

AID FROM THE REGION OF SPIRITS. AtlanU Couti utlon, 18th. A day or two since we received in writing, from a gent;eman of highest authority, the following stories (which he obtained direct fiom her lather) for publication. It appears that some time ago a gentleman, who was a man of property and a fneud of the youug lady, died. A short time ago tho young lady received a message from him stating that if sho would go to a oertatn place iu tha ga-. -ii.i ;v .d dig iu a certain way, she woald liad a dia mond ring. As a mere experiment the young lady followed the directions given, and accompanied by friends went to tha garden and told them where to dig. Her instructions were complied wrth, aud at the very spot indicated a diamond ring of fine pattern was found. It was unearthed, given to the young lady and was valued by an expert at 125. A short time after this, a second mes sage was received Liom the dead man, saying that if the young lady would follow his directions she would find a diamond ring of even greater value than the flist. The directions were more complicated than before. The maia point, however, was to go to a large oak tree, with a hollow in it. The young lady was instructed to put her hand within this hollow, and hold it there for some time. She did as di. reoted, being as before accompanied by spectators. She put her hand in the trunk of the tree and after hold ing it there a moment withdrew it hastily, saying, "I've got it." She fe back very much prostrated, and open-' ing her hand showed a glittering dia mond, being of more than double the valne of the first. It is said that just before she withdrew her hand a rum bling, heavy sound was heard within the tree, being plainly audible to the people standing near. The Xew York World. From the Worli Miirch 25. h. In this the last month or so a sin gular prophecy of an impending and very radical change in the ownership and condDCt of the World has been traveling about the country from East to West and from North to South through the columns of such a number of its esteemed contemporaries that some curiosity was awaktned in Its mind as to its possible origin. This curiosity having been gratified by a telegram published in a North Carolina newspaper, which attributed the proph ecy to that most experienced and most enterraing of modern travelerss, M. Du Chaillu, the editor of the World, who has long enjoyed the pleasure and advantage of a lriendly acquaintance with that gentleman atj once despatch ed a reporter in quest of him. It seemed to the editor of the World worth while to ascertain whether the African goriili, with wh'se habits and capacities no mau is so familiar as M. Da Chaillu, might not have suddenly developed into a brilliant and success fnl rival of the least informed aud most communicative New York cor respondent of the provincial press. In compliance with instructions the re porter dispatched in quest of M. Du Chaillu makes the following report: To the Editor of the World: "Sir: I yesterday called upon M Paul Du Chaillu and asked h:m, as I was directed by you to do, to read the following paragraph from the Raleigh 'It is said that the New York World has been sold to George V. Childs.-of the Philadelphia Ledger, who will taVe possession of it on the 1st of May and make a certain sweep of the present editorial department. Mr. Cbilds so informed his friend, Paul Du Chaillu, the explorer, who told the informant of the representative of the Post.' 'Well, said M. Du Chailla, as, after having twice read the paragraph, with a wry face he returne i it to me, 'I have travelled in many regions where error does prevail, but I have never been in a region whare such falsehoods as this aVmnd. It is alio.' x Then you did not tell anybody,' ' I said, 'that Mr.Childs had given 'you this information?' No, I never did. How could I when Mr. Childs did not give it; to me?' Do you mean, then,' I aked, 'that yon had the news from somebody else?' Why' r(quite despairingly,)-- 'my friend,,! have had no news or informa tion on "the 'subject. I Enow nothing whatevef about the affairs of the World I tell you the whole thing is a lie an abominable lie.' M. Du Chaillu then asked what pa per the paragraph referred to as the Post, aud being told that it was the Washington Post, said, 'Ah! that makes the lie even more strango, for I have not been in the city of Washington for at least four years.' . The character of the Gorilla having thus been satisfactorily cleared up by his best friend, the eidtor of The World really has neither the time nor the in clination to pursue the authorship of the story so emphatically branded by M. Du Chaillu through all the holes arid corners of merely human unveraci ity and impatience. But he cannot dismiss the incident without availing himself of the legitimate opportunity which it affords him of expressing hip obligations to the general public for its cordial and liberal recognition during the past three years of" his efforts to maintain and defend in the columns of The World the sound Democrats po litical principals which be . believes to be essential to the greatness and pros perity of the country, without blindly adhereing to the interests or concern ing himself with the intrigues of any man or set of men within the Demo cratic party. A Rome Scandal, THE ARREST OF THE AMERICAN CONSUL FOR DRUNKENNESS IN THE STREET. Home Journal. , As no carnival soene would be com plete without its special story of social scandal, we have just had ours at the proper time, aud this time it affects the Aineiican colony of "Rome especially, l he scandal affects the American con sulate al Rome. Charges are said lo have been prelerred against the consul aud forwarded to the Estate department at Washington for having been found iu a state of intoxication in one of the streets of Rome by a policeman and duly aireested for said offence. Let it be remarked here, en passant, that the offence of intoxication in the public 6tieets is ona ot the most mirequeut. here before the courts, and therdfoi'e creates especial comment. True it is, beyond question, that charges were duly preferred, and the policeman who made the arrest was ordered to attend for examioatiori. Our United States minister was notified and expected to be present at the examination, especi ally also because he, Mr. Marsh, under sUnds the ltaliao, while our present consul doas not in the least. But Mr. Marsh is a great invalid and hence could not attend. The examination was, however, proceeded with and the char ges forwarded.
