THE following, from the New Orleans
Pscaysgae, shows the manner in which
the military despotism bill wa origi-
nally passed by the senate. 1t is a
striking commentary on republican gov
eminent:
CAUCUS RULE.
The Stevens-Sherman bill, which
passed the senate by a vote of % to 10,
was first considered In caucus by the
republicans OF the senate. The vote
there were Is yeas TO IA nays so it be-
came a party asu by a majority Of
one vote.
This one majority in caucus bound the
t~wenty-nine, and cast their whole vote
in the senate for a measure to which
fourteen Of them were opposed.
The tW~enty-nine constituted a major
itv Of the senate, which, including only
the senators OF twenty-siX states, con-
sists, de factO, Of hfty-twO members.
The majority Of one vote, therefore,
decided absolutely the action of the
whole senate that Is, had all the po-
teucy of dfty-twO members.
But there are twenty senators, from
ten states, who are virtually excluded
from the right 70 vote; a full senate
consists Of seventy-twO members.
The majority Of one IN a caucus OF
twenty-nine, therefore, ruled with he
full force Of a whole senate Of seventy
two members.
In brief, fifteen senator's have disposed
Of the consolidated vote of seventy-tWO,
on the most momentous question which
ever occurred IA the civil history Of this
country being no less a question than
this Whether ten states and eight mil
lions Of freeborn inhabitants shaT he /
outlawed by a government calling itself
republican.
This majority Of one, fifteen to four-
teen, has not only the power Of a major
ity to carry with it a majority of the
whole number Of the senate, but has
the further power Of o%verruling the ex-
ecutive veto, and thus debating to two
branches Of the government. The If
teen by carrying the minority, fourteen,
with them, make up q tWo-thirds vote
81 that il the measure should come back
with the presidents veto, there is, with
ont chance Of vote, still tWO-thirds with
which to Overruie him.
