In caucus of Republican Senators, on
Friday, after free discussion it was de-
cided to reject the disfranchising clause,
and adopt the bill concerning the proposed
amendments to the Constitution. In the
matter of rejecting nominations it seemed
to be the most prevalent opinion that the.
warfare against the President, as manifest
4
ed in some Executive sessions, would re-
suit in evil, and should cease. On that
subject, however, no final action was TAX
en-. The best of feeling prevailed in the
Caucus, which VIII meet again to-day. on
the subject of adjournment or recess, it was
decided best to continue in session until
the middle of July. The constitutional
amendments proposed by the Reeonstruc-

every effort will be made TO harmonic

unanimity of sentiment, and a firmer de-
TO stand solidly together upon
all important questions, than has before
been manifested during the session. tiaii<

Spencer County Democratic Con-
25hea,l~a - FentiOn. aaa i,aess.I
The Democrats of Spencer County
hold their Convention for nominating
candidates for county offices, at Gem
terville, on Saturday. 1t was Mass
Convention, and posters had been sent
out announcing JOE MCDONALD as
the orator of the day, but with all
their efforts the Convention was small,
not over three hundred or four hum
dred people being present; nor was
the enthusiasm unbounded The fol
lowing is the ticket nominated:
For Representative, Capt. MED
CALF; for Sheriff, Capt. fEIzENMAN;
for Treasurer, Col KELLUMs;Tgfor
Surveyor, JOHN CURRY; for Commits
sioner, JOHN PULLEN.. - ~
The first three were officers in the
Union army; CURRY was, we believe,
for short time, Assistant Surgeon in
the army, or, perhaps, Hospital
Steward Cn iseea a t1as5rl
The Convention recommended DIR.
BRYANT, of Spencer County, as can
didate for State Senator, from that |
Senatorial District, eagaa So
An old Democrat named GwALT-
NEY was an aspirant to the Office Of |
Sheriff, and before the Convention
proceeded to business, announced
himself as a candidate He said he |
had been told that's was necessary toll
nominate a Dutchman to conciliate
the Dutch and secure their votes.
For his part, he was down on that,
kind of Democracy. Whenit became
necessary to send across the ocean to /
Germany to import men to rule and |
hold Office in this country, he thought |
it time for the Democracy to sell out,
Gen. WILLIAMSON, who saw storm
was brewing, caught GwALTNEY by /
the coat, and finally. succeeded in /
getting him down, but his remarks
caused a futtering in the camp of the
faithful and unterrifed.W n , ,38ffA |

the policy Of the Austrian commander is
admirable. His movements and intentions
are wrapt in entire secrecy, and his plans

The arrival of the next steamer will

Murder as q Political Art

Under this caption the Cincinnati Gtt-
zette, Radical sheet, publishes long arti-
Gle designed to show that HARRISON, TAY-
LoR, and LINCOLN, were all murdered at
the instigation of the politicians Of the
South, and that the same class made an
unsuccessful attempt upon the life OF Mr..
BUCHANAN. We suppose there are old
grannics in Cincinnati who will believe this
story, and hold up their hands il, holy hor-
ror at the supposed wickedness of our peo-
pie. But that any man having three grains
of common sense should believe il, is in
credible. The editor of the Gasette is
either knavc or fanatical fool. Either
lie gives currency to this base SANDER for
political purposes, well knowing it to be
false in every particular, or else he is
totally unfit for the position he holds. No
one in the South will argue such qucs-
ton. We feel nothing but pity for the
folly which could credit such stories, and
nothing but contempt for the vile SANDER
CTS who originate them.

A WORD WELL PUT IN.-ln the Senate,
Thursday, while the bill for reannexing
Alexandria to the District of Columbia
was under consideration, Mr.. DAVIS, of
Kentucky, made little speech. lie said
he was convinced that the State of West
Virginia had no legal or constitutional
existence, but as he thought the matter
was one entirely for the courts, he should
not vote to repeal the act admitting it as
State. Whereupon the bill was passed
owe, for that day. This was hard hit at
Senator WADE, who had made an argu-
mcnt to prove that the rctroccssion of AL
exandria to Virginia was an unconStitu-
tonal proceeding, but whose conscientious
scruples had never been aroused by the
palpably unconstitutional act recognizing
West Virginia as a State.
