The Republican Senators held caucus OF
some hours on Friday, in which the question
of reconstruction and the time for an adjourn
ment of Congress was discussed.
The Washington Star says: The sentiment
of the caucus was unanimously against the third
section of the reconstruction measures, at least
no voice was raised in its behalf Various sub
stitutes for the third section were discussed;
but the proposition most favored was one ex-
Guiding from holding federal Office those who
deserted the United States Congress and army
and navy to take part in the rebellion, also the
members of the confederate congress, the con-
federate cabinet, confederate diplomatic agents,
confederate military officers of the rank of ma
ior general and brigadier general, and confede
rate naval officers of the higher grade, &c. 1t
was claimed that the reconstruction measures,
modified in some such manner, could be pass
ed in the Senate by the requisite two-thirds
vote, and something to spare.
Concerning an adjournment, the current feel
ing seemed to be in favor of remaining in sess-
ion until the middle of July, unless the leading
business OF Congsess is sooner disposed OF.

SKSAToR SAULsBrRY seems disposed to
make for himself reputation whilst holding
his position in the L. S. Senate; but whether
that reputation shall be enviable or unenvia-
bic is matter of little consequence to him, to
ali appearances. His orgies in the Legislative
Hall in which he is a member are too well
known and too unbecoming for repetition. But
they add greatly to his reputation, such as
it is. Recently, in Washington, the scene of
his "former deeds of glory and renown, he
stated in speech that he should make the
announcement in the Senate, before the ad
iournment of Congress, that JEFF. Davis was
better Union man than Abraham Lincoln.
Still more recently, after Henry A. Wise had
delivered a speech in Alexandria defying the
Government TO hang him and advising his
hearers to spurn greenbacks as worthless trash,
Mr.. Salisbury took the stand and entertained
the crowd (m0stly cx-rebel soldiers in TRADE
a.a.u,t the party in power. And more recent
" still-last Sunday-he embraced another
fuo opr r'u.ity to obtain notoriety. Says a

seeks every opportunity that rebel surround

into the affections of those who tried to dissoly
the Union, and participate in every transat
ton that will give him notoriety. Every sel
