ent in Washington had caucus in
Representative Hall this morning.
Between fifty and sixty members were
present. Thaddeus Stevens, Presi-
dent; Hon. e. c.. Ingersoll, of lii
nois, Acting Secretary. After con-
siderable discussion a committee of
ten was appointed to report at an adj
journed meeting next Wednesday
evening such measures as it will
be deemed necessary to urge upon the
early attention of Congress.
A resolution was introduced recon-
mending the Senate to reject ma
jorityt of the appointments made by
the President since the adjournment
of the last Congress.
In the course of the discussion the
members related instances of what
was termed particular hardships and
inconsistencies in removals and ap-
pointments AAs~-
There was some difference of
opinion as to the propriety or expedi-
ency of this Recommendation, but on
a vote being taken there were no votes
in the negative.
Colfax was, unanimously, designated
to reply to the address of welcome at
the loyal mass reception, which comes
off on Monday, on behalf of the
House. The welcoming address is to
be made by Judge Carter, of the Dis
trict Supreme Court. 1t was suggest
ed and agreed that a Senator should
be invited to reply also on behalf of
the Senate, that an arrangement be
made by Speaker Colfax; and, that
the Senator so designated for one. to
represent both Houses.
The indications are that Congress
will be a very Radical one. The tone
of the speeches were very bitter against
President johnson.

hours, and there was free inter-
change of opinion, and general una
nimity of sentiment on important
questions. The caucus adjourned I'M
til next Wednesday evening, when
more Republican members will have
