REPUBLICAN CAUCUS PROGRAMME

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS PROGRAMME
The republicans of Congress have re-
solved among other things in caucus to
provide by law -
First-That no name shall he placed
on the roll Of the next Congress except
from States entitled to representation
by law.
Second-That no electoral votes shall
be counted for President and Vice Pres
ldent Qs6s) cast by any State ex-
Guided from Congress.
Mird-That the first session OF the
Fortieth Congress, instead of meeting
In December, as usual, shall meet on
the 4th of March next, at the close
OF the present Congress.
Considering, therefore, that the House
by an overwhelming majority has resol-
we'd to adhere to the pending constitu-
tlonal amendment as the basis of South
ern restoration, thir programme simply
means that the excluded States shall
nave no voice in Congress or in the ap-
preaching Presidential election, unless
they abandon meantime their present
declared purpose of holding out against
the amendment. "To this complexion
they must come at last" and the sooner
the better. This is the whole case in a
nutshell.-N. Y Herald
