BIZ LAST NIGHTS NAIL.


Minister, NJ Montholon, had an inter
view to-day with Secretary Seward 1t
is understood in diplomatic circles that
he expresses the opinion very freely
that the war cloud which suddenly ap-
peared in Europe, after the Emperor S
speech, will be dispelled. He says the
Emperor has no idea of going to war
Sir Frederick Bruce, the English
Minister, received sdvices per last mail,
the tenor of which is more pacifcatory.
The financial difficulties in England it
is believed are passed.
The Senatorial caucus will meet
Monday, when the new reconstruction
plan which was partially agreed upon
yesterday will be presented and proba-
bly, adopted The Radicals who thought
that Congress ought not to adjoarn at
all, but take a recess for two months,
are forced 10 abandon the idea
The question as to what course ought
to be adopted by the dominant party
in Congress in confirmation was dis
cussed, but no decision was reached
Some Of the Senators suggested that it
was bad policy to reject good and true
men, some of whom are tried soldiers,
simply because they differ with them
in regard to the Presidents policy.
One of the principle objects of Mrs
Davis visit here is for the purpose of
finding out, if possible, when the Gov
eminent intends to try her husband.
She is velsyaDxious to get trial at
once; bdtsu Is una erstood that she has
been informed by pretty good authority
that it will probably be several weeks,
perhaps months, before the matter can
be arranged for his trial, the present
indictment being regarded by the Gov
eminent as worthless Mrs Davis has
been in receipt of large number OF
calls to-day The President has grant
ed her permission to remain with her
husband at Fortress Monroe.
WASHINGTON, May % In the caucus
Yesterday of the Republican members
of the Senate general end very free
interchange of views was had upon the
reconstruction question. It was agreed
that the DISTINGUISHING question should
be rejected and the balance of the
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton adopted Upon the matter Of con
firmation or rejection of the Presiden-
tial appointments, the moderate Sena-
tors agreed that il would be ruinous to
carry on the warfare already inaugu-
rated in the executive session, and that
if the Senate persisted IN rejecting
good men whose loyalty and integrity
was unimpeached, the Republican party
would be weakened, if not ultimately
destroyed This view of the matter
seemed 10 have the prepondersnce,
but final action was not taken, and
the caucus adjourned il good temper
to meet again on Monday next
the subject of an adjournment or re-
Gers was taken up, and after considers-
BILE discussion it was deemed best to
continue in session until about the
middle of July, when, unless some-
thing IS developed not now anticipated,
an adjournment will be acted upon
The Constitutional amendments
we're taken up and discussed at length.
The third section may be amended, OF
somewhat modified or strengthened, or
propositions may be substituted, so as
to disfranchise forever certain classes
of rebels, or forbid them from ever
holding any Office, either Federal or
State
1t was unanimously agreed that ev-
cry attempt should be made to har-
monte the conflicting views, and when
that was done, then the amendment
should be passed by a party vote of
thirtythree for to the fourteen
against, the latter being the maximum
number the President can rally to his
support. The feeling all around is to
unite upon the very best platform that
can be secured. The caucus adjourned
to meet on Monday morning at 10
o'clock, when they viii probably come
to some final conclusion.
There was greater unanimy Of senti-
ment and frmer determination mani
tested to stand solidly together upon
all important questions, than has ever
before been manifested.
The proceedings in the Republican
Senate caucus reveal d the fact that
more than two thirds will support the |
constitutional amendment in a modi. |
fed form. The third section will pro-
badly be struck out and probably two
substitutes fo- the whole amendment !
will be offered in the Senate. Messrs.
Doolittle, Cowan and Dixon were not /
invited to take part in the caucus.
