NEWS VIA NEW YORK.

New YORK, May 20 9--The Herald
says Of the Republican Senatorial
Caucus yesterday: aeAehIW .eAiA
No definite conclusion was reached.
The whole matter was referred to the
Senatorial portion of the Reconstruc-
ton Committee, consisting of Senator'S
Fessenden, Grimes, Howard, Harris,
and Williams; Senator Johnson was
also on the Committee, but being a.
Democrat, he could not participate In
the Caucus. Nearly all the Republi-
can Senators agree that the third sec
ton of the proposed Constitutional
Amendment will be stricken out in
caucus, and the disfranchisement of a.
specific class of rebels substituted in
its place It is also found, upon dis
cussion, that larger number of the
members favor, restricting this class
as much as possible than was gen
orally supposed two weeks ago. The
general opinion is that the restriction
will extend to those who have held
certain military and civil offices under.
the Federal Government, although it
is by no means improbable that it will
turn upon those who have taken and
violated certain oaths to the Federal
Government. 1t is also thought prob
able that the Caucus will amend the
second section of the proposed Con-
stitutional Amendment, placing the
representation of States upon voters
instead of numbers, as proposed by
the Reconstruction Committee This
is substantially the Presidents senti-
ment, and it is fast gaining ground
with 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 representation instead of be-
other States
81 The, Times special says: Senator
Sherman's proposed amendment, in
tended as a substitute for the second
and third Sections, and providing
that representatives shall be appor-
toned according to the number Of
qualified voters, and including citi-.
zens disqualified for participating in
the rebellion;, and also,. that direct
taxes be apportioned according to the
value of taxable property, was urged
with pertinacity.
Several other propositions were also
discussed, intending to take place in
the DISTINGUISHING Section, but with
out agreeing upon substitute.
The caucus adjourned to meet to-
morrow. ..ss.ee 60
AMONG the Union Senators who did
not attend the caucus are Messrs. Do
little, Cowan, Dixon, and Nesmith.
The World s special says There
was almost as much disagreement in
the caucus as there was in the Senate
The difficulty seemed. to. be. to agree
upon q proposition as substitute for
the Sd Section of the Constitutional
Amendment, the Radical Senators in
sisting that all the leading rebels
shall forever be disfranchised from
. hOldings sanya Federal Office. ; The
probabilities are that they will com
promise by putting aside a certain
class of men who made themselves
generally obnoxious. - "a
