Bat why wSs California set aside to- day; aud why
did the California caucus fail in the House to night
First large body of the friends of California did not
oaro to play second fiddle to the free-solers who got
mp thess caucuses and, secondly, it was suspected
that the confusion which would follow the discussion
OF california AS separate essure would strength
tbeOmnibusi in the Senate That is say it found
cut that the leaders Of the Omnibus in the Senate al
vSed the friends OF California in the House to take up
the bill for her admission now Why SO Because
they saw ID would instantly lead to trouble and then
mr. foote would gee up IN th2 Senate say "Les
pass this combined biil The condition Of things in
the House shows that California separately can never
pass in that body aud II therefore the friends Cafor
MA wish her admission, let them unite with and
pas this adjustment OF the whole question, Calfor
mia cannot be admitted -
With such u suspicion many of the friend, Of Cali
fornia In the House resolved to cut loose from tho free
sellers and their movement, and to keep California
back little while rs TO afford no thunder to the
In the Senate but to let light its out by
itself
There only dozen ndants at the California
caucus called to night, composed Of the leading free
soilers, and finding that the riment failure
they sdjourns to Saturday night The reasons ven
above will account tor the slim attendance The
friends of California, IS body did care to play
dummy to the free sellers nor did they onre 10 ,r
a1sh ammunition.to the Omnibus by wrsngling de-
bate.
The Senate. therefore for a d.v or two or LONGER
will have full swing at the Omnibus without any aid
from the trouble in the House about California sepa-
rat.ly because the House lies low, aud keeps dark
bus In the Senate so much just now, a row in the
House on the bill admitting California separately;
but the friends OF California, exclusively, not dis
posed to furnish the thunder. Meantime there have
been some mysterious proceedings in the Senate end
OF the capitol TO night We have heard of no caucus
there but seeing light in the dome and finding the
way open below went in. and heard voices as in
bgh debate, up stairs. nearly up to tho top OF the
building and the voices at intervals very dis
tinct There seemed to be two voices repeating the
same thing, with all the energy OF tragic actor in
some burst OF eloquence upon tAe stage For ex-

We heard somsthing like this while approaching the
room. OF inquiry at the door, learning that tn.
meeting private, declined the polite invitation
to 60 in and Ie considerably relieved that there was
treason to the Union, and no conspiracy against
