WASHINGTON, july III, 1886.


The Republican caucus met at half
past seven o'clock tonight, in the
House Hail.. Its proceedings were
highly important. Mr.. Garfield said
Postmaster General Dennison would
resign tomorrow, because he could
not indorse the President. He was
asked for his authority, and replied
that hespoke by the book. 1t was then
asserted that three other Cabinet officers
would resign within very short time.
The question of adjournment then
came up. Mr.. Lane, of Indiana, made
violent speech against the President.
He was in favor of speedy adjourn
ment, but proposed the passage of a
stringent law regulating removals and
appointments before adjourning.
Mr.. Conness, of California, then rose
and denounced the President in un.
measured terms.
Mr.. Wilson, of Mass, said he had
done his best toiCprevent a breach be-
tween the President andI Congress, but
he had given up all hope. He now
knew that the President was going to
sell the country out to the Democrats.
The question of adjournment was
finally referred to a committee of nine,
TO report at another caucus.
The Philadelphia Convention then
came up. Several speeches were made
condemning Mr.. Raymond and the
course of the New York Times, IN en-
dorsing the call for that Convention.
Mr.; Raymond, who was present, said
he had been deceived in this matter,
and the Times would change its course
for the future. When he endorsed the
call, he understood that none but Union
men would participate. 1t was now
evident that the whole thing would be
controlled by Democrats, and he would
have nothing to do with it. nlaf
Aresolution that no Union member
of Congress would participate in the
Convention was offered, and the yeas
and nays were called on it. It was
passed unanimously.
A resolution of secrecy was then
passed. after which Governor Hamil-

DURING our recent war, attention was
frequently called to the fact that we
were giving instruction in military
sciencet to the soldiers ofthe Old World.
Those who began by laughing at Bull
Run, finally could not withhold their
praise of our achievements with our
rited artillery and our monitors, our
military telegraphs, our bridge build
ers, and our commissions for aiding the
wounded. We see that already the
correspondents of English journals are
observing the benefits of the lessons
which we have taught to the world.
The military correspondent of the Lon
don Times, who is with one of the
Prussian armies, writes: ,,..--,.i
"The Prussians have not been care
less witnesses of the great struggle in
America. The organization Of their
army shows that its administrators
have eagerly noted all the results of
modern science and advanced civiliza-
ton which the contest between
the FederaIs and Confederates called
into the service of war. Orders and re-
ports are no longer conveyed tardlly
by aides de-camp or orderlies; they are
flashed from corps to corps along the
wires of the telegraph, for 10 each head
quarters field telegraph division is
attached, which as soon as headquar-
ters are. established connects the tenn
porary bureau of the chief of the staff
with the nearest permanent telegraph
On the other hand, our nation will
watch the great military struggle with
an intelligent interest, which would
not have been felt, if we had not gone
through the experiences of the last four
years. The marches and counter
marches, the tactics and strategy of the
great combatants, will be studied by
thousands ofmen who have learned on
our soqthernfie some of the myste-
ries ofthe art Of war. = "

The Desideratum of the Times.

The wonderful changes wrought by the late
war between the North and South, rendered
necessary the organization of political parties on
the war. Old things have passed away, and
behold all things have become new. The ques-
tons which heretofore divided the people into
parties called Wing and Democratic are no
longer in issue. The great question of the
present is whether the Government shall be adj
nlinistered by its friends, who wish to preserve
it as it came from the hands of the wise fathers
who framed it, OR by its enemies, who wish to
change its character that they may peryert its
objects and trample upon the rights of the peo-
pie The first great need of the country was
the organization of National party composed
Of Wings, Democrats and conservative Repub-
licans, who would forget all past political DIFF
fercnces and unite shoulder to shoulder in res
olute determination to overthrow the enemies
OF the Government, known in political parlance
as Radicals. This was done at Philadelphia a.
The Philadelphia Convention, in the language
Of the Examiner, has produced an organization
IN which all men will be welcome who viii make
the Union under the Constitution, and the great
principles Of freedom and equality embodied in
the charter of 1887, the cardinal objects Of de-
votlon and support In this new organization
Wings and Democrats may cordially and con-
sistently co operate; in this organization Nor
thern and Southern Union men may shake
and join hands
This party cannot fail to triumph. No party
which has the restoration and preservation of
the Union for its watchwords, and which bends
its energies to these objects in good faith, can
fail to command the support Of the American
people, at time when the country is in as
much peril as now. This party will therefore
be supported by the people with zeal of which
We have had no example in the popular history
Of the country. 1t also has the advantage of
being supported by the government of the
Union, by President fully alive to the peril of
the crisis, and provelbially firm in the prosecu
ton Of his purposes. This new party is strong
also in the recklessness and decentralization Of
its adversary. If it had been allowed to dictate
course of folly and crime for that adversary,
designed to lead them into irretrievable odium,
it could not have shaped one more effectual for
the purpose than that which the Radicals have,
OF their own accord, pursued in Congress.
A great party has been established, charged
with great responsibilities, and actuated by no
bic purposes. The people will rally everywhere
to its standard, and it will achieve success
worthy of its cause and worthy Of the patriotic
i'm nulSes that actuafa If -

Plain Talk.

The Committee which took the liberty to ap-
point delegates from this State to the Radical
Convention which assembled yesterday, Sept
Bird, in Philadelphia, appointed many who feel
that an outrage has been thus perpetrated upon
them, and who awaited themselves of the first
opportunity to so express themselves. Among
theirs they appointed Robert Ridgway, ESQ.,.
ormerly Editor of the Richmond Wig, who
expresses himself concerning it as follows:

outrage upon me and deliberate fraud upon
the public.

This property is located on one Of the most con-
spcuous and beautiful hills in the town of Staun-
ton, occupying the top and large portion of the
Southwestern slope of the hill. The LOT con-
sists of THREE ACRES and etece,s poles of fer
tile soil, and from its variety of surface and ex
posture, is readily susceptible of the highest degree
OF Improvement and characterization.
THE MANSION HOUSE is an unusually
spacious and handsome building and has attached
to it all the necessary out-buldIngs including sta
bling, carrlage-house and lce-house.
The property will be sold either as a whole or
in three four parcels; in which latter case the
Mansion House Lot will contain one acre, three
roods and ten poles, and all of the improvements
OF value; and the other parcels will afford most
excellent building lots.
The occasion of this SALE therefore, offers one of
very few opportunities for securing delightful
home in the heart Of the great alley Of Virginia
and in a town already noted for the excellence of
its society, and It's business thrift, and whose fu-
ture is full of promise of even better things.

Judge Underwood has granted the injunc-
ton asked for, restraining the National Express
Company from carrying freight over the Or
ange and Alexandria Railroad. -
Last week we published the above item
clipped from an exchange. We are glad to be
able to state that the injunction granted does
not RESTRAIN the National Express Company
from carrying freight over the Orange & Alex
andria Railroad" and that the National is run
ming on that road and doing an increased
amount of business, caused in great part by the
uniustifable conduct of the Adams Company
towards the National The injunction granted
by Judge Underwood does not effect the run
ming of the National but only prevents 1t from
executing contract made with Mr.. Ficklln,
which contract had been abandoned before the
injunction was granted.
