Wasb^iton, January 1.?It is ua derstood to be the purpose of Senator Morton to call up on the meeting of the Senate his rosolotion recognizing the validity of the Kellogg govern? ment. In view of the recent occur? rences in New Orleans and the action taken by the President, a very exciting and bitter disoussiou may be looked for. Senator Thurmau, who has re? mained in the "ity during the holi? days, is very outspoken in denouuo ing the acts of the Returning Board and the countenance given to it by the President.

There is no connection provided for iu the preseut bill or programme with the railroad centres of the Virginias, Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Ten? nessee and Kentucky. To meet this defect in tho route, aonueotioo is pro? posed from Springfield to Memphis, Tennessee, and the Senators from tho Eastern and tho South-eastern States, inoludiug prominently, speoially, Se? nators Johnston, of Virginia; Ransom, of North Carolina;Robertson, of South Carolina; Gordon, of Georgia; Gold thwaite, of Alabama; Aloorn, of Mis? sissippi ; Oqoper, of Tennessee; Dorsey, of Arkansas; and Stevenson, of Ken? tucky, and many leading Southern Congressmen, are uniting to insure this modification of Senator Scott's bill, which would unite the entire sys? tem of railways East of the Mississippi aud Ohio Rivers, and make it essen llallya Southern Paolflo Railroad. The meaaare thus modified possesses great strength, not. only as. a matter of comity and Justica in view of the libe? ral aid given to the Union and other Pacific roads by tbe Government, bat is farther favored by prominent North? ern Congressmen as an important praotloal measure for the relief and re? construction of the impoverished States of the South.
