THE SENATORIAL RECOMMENDATION
CAUCrS.

The New York HeralFs Washington dis
patches of the 29th, give the following IS the
result of the deliberations of the caucus of
the Radical members of the Senate:
No definite conclusion was reached. The
whole matter was referred to the Senatorial
portion of the Reconstruction Committee,
consisting of Senators Fessenden, Grimes,
Howard, Harris and Williams. Senator
johnson was also on the committee, but,
being Democrat, he could not participate
in the caucus.
Nearly all the Republican Senators agree
that the section of the proposed amendment
will be stricken out in caucus, and the dis
reimbursement of 4 specific class of rebels
substituted in its place 1t is also found,
upon discussion, that larger number num-
Der OF the members favor restricting this
class as much as possible than was generally
supposed two weeks age. The general
opinion is that the restriction will extend to
those who have held certain civil and mill
tary offices under the Confederate Govern
ment. although it is by no means improb
able that it may turn upon those who have
taken and violated certain Oaths to the Fed
eral Government
1t is also probable that the caucus will
amend the second section of the proposed
constitutional amendment, basing the repre-
sentation of States upon voters instead of
upon numbers, as proposed by the Recon-
struction Committee. This is substantially
the Presidents idea, and is at last gaining
ground with the Republican Senators.
1t is also certain that the caucus will agree
upon so framing the amendment as to admit
of separate State action, thus placing it in
the power of any State to acquire represen-
tatiOn instead of being dependent upon the
action of other States.
The Times special says: Senator Sherman
proposed an amendment intended as sub
stitute for the second and third sections, and
providing that Representatives shall be APP
portioned according to the number of quail
flied voters, and including citizens disqual-
flied for participating in the rebellion, and
also that direct taxes be apportioned accord
ing to the value of taxable property, was
urged with pertinacity.
Several other propositions were also dis
cussed, intended to take the place of the dis
franchising section, but without agreeing
upon a substitute, the caucus adjourned to
meet tomorrow.

LIEUT.. GEN. wINrrEED scorr.


Our Geographic columns oh yesterday an
nounced that on the previous day, at West
Point-the site of the National Military
Academy, and the most fitting place for the
event-this distinguished soldier and citizen
departed this life The advanced age and
decrepid condition of Gen. Scott has made
this not unlookcd-lor event for some time.
His deeds and fame have become historic in
American annals, and deserve something
more than passing notice al the hands of
his countrymcn Indeed, if military renown
were the passport TO greatness in the Ameri-
can sense Of the word, it may be doubted
whether the eminent deceased was not en-
titled to the first place
Gen. Scott had attained nearly four score
years Of age, having been born June IL,
1856. He was Of a Virginia family, and in
tended for the profession of law. Following
the instinct Of genius, however, he entered
the army Of the United States as captain of
artillery in 1908. In 1912 he was made
Lieutenant Colonel in the regular army, and
by gallant conduct in the war with Great
Britain, which was then raging, he was in
l8l4made Brigadier General. nis exploits in
that period, particularly the battles at Lun-
dy's Lane and Chippewa, need not be here
recounted. The war closed, leaving him
brilliant reputation; and so great was his
popularity, that he was rendered the Secre-
taryship Of War in Mr.. Madison's Cabinet.
This he declined, however, and accepted the
advanced rank of Major General in the
army. In fS4l, by the death of Gen. Ma
comb, he became commander Of the Amer
lean army by seniority of rank, and held
that position, with the added rank in 1855
Of Lieutenant General, till November, 1861,
when he was, at his own request, relieved
from active service.
Gen. Scott was eminently military man,
and shone only in that sphere. He had
civic ambition, but exhibited no capacity in
that line, and was rejected as a candidate for
the Presidency in 1852 by large majority.
Political causes, doubtless, played due part
in his defeat at that time, but there is little
question that a large majority Of his coun-
trymen thought him more soldier than
civilian. 1t is proper to say, however, that
though a soldier and great one in time of
war, Gen. Scott ever leaned to peace. His
course in the notification troubles of 1882,
and his pacific counsels in 1861, entitle him
to the credit of desiring and laboring, by
prudent and sagacious course, to avert civil
war. He had great and commanding qualities
andgreat faults That the latter impaired his
usefulness and injured his fame his warmest
admirers cannot deny but whatever preju-
dices an active public career of nearly
sixty years, marked by many Objectionable
idiosynocracies and errors of conduct, NAV
have excited, his fellow-citizens can now
unite in paying the just tribute to his men,
DRY, and over his grave accord him his
true rank among the men whose military
deeds have shed renown on the American
name

THE Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce
has, by unanimous vote, rescinded the
very foolish and unwise rule which was
established during the war; requiring mem
bers to takean extrajudicial oath of loyal

of party hate and fanaticism, and its con-
tinuance caused much i'll feeling to exist
among those who should have been brethren.

THE recent Legislature cannot be regard
ed as n very economical body. The Chatta-

Inauguration of the new police system of

The law provides that the Commissioner
shall receive a salary Of $4,000 years for
his services, his two sergeants 81 400 shch,
and the patrolmen 81 200 per year each
the number not to exceed twenty-four.
This, to say nothing of incidenials, amounts
in round numbers to S34, Goa pretty snug
sum for policing city Of 10000 inhabit-
ants.

CANNOT GET JUSTICE AT HOME.

4 correspondent of the Knoxville COM
merci0i, writing from jacksonville, states
that Mr.. BLACKMAN, Representative in the
State Legislature from Monroe county, filed
petition in the Circuit Court at that place,
on the 9th last, to remove suit in which
he was party, to another county, ON the
ground that he did not believe that he could
get Justice in Monroe.
There could be nc more forcible illustra-
ton Of the estimation in which this man is
held among his people-whom he pretends
to represent in the Genera Assembly lie
feels that he is so odious-that there is such
general and profound hostility towards him,
that . jury cannot be obtained who would do
him Justice in civil cause! BLAcKMAN
ought TO remove himself out Of the county
for if he got full justice il would likely be
an uncomfortable place for him TO reside

SYMPATHY FROM THE RIGHT QUARTER.
The Radicals are getting up testimonial

which he said
''No act of ours do We regard with more
conscientious approval, or higher satisfac-

the tribunal of heaven and the verdict of
mankind, than when, several years ago, on

4 PoINT TO BE SETTLED.-The following
case has been submitted to the Commission
er Of the Freedmens Bureau for his oPin-
ion thereon: John Dorsey, colored, bought
his daughter Sarah Ann, from her master,
Henry Saunders, of Leesburg Va, in the
year 1860, for whom he agreed 20 pay the
sum Of $3.50. Mr. Amos Hughes went his
security for the payment Of the money. Mr..
Dorsey has paid $3.50 of the purchase
money, and the remaining 5000 are in the
hands of his security. Saunders demands
the balance, but Dorsey does not wish TO pay
il, thinking it unfair that he should now be
obliged to pay for the freedom Of his daugh
ter The Commissioner replied that, in his
opioion, the 5000 balance referred to should
not be paid by Dorsey, but that the case
seemed TO involve points that should be set
tied by the proper tribunals.
