"A general caucus OF the Missouri
Legislature was held at Jefferson
City last night, to hear Generals
Loan and Carl Schurtz, candidates
for the U. 8. Senatorship, define their
positions.
The meeting was attended BY
many Of the citizens generally ,as well
as the Legislative members. General
Loan was i'll, and therefore was not
present; but Gen Schurtz defined his
position and set forth his views at
some length. he denied the charge
that he was in favor of the immediate
franchising Of rebels, and said that
when in the U. S. Senate, he would
support the following amendments /:
lst. General suffrage, without dis
tinction Of color or previous condi-
ton, bnt recognizing the right OF a
State TO disfranchisc, on account of
being rebels.
End. 10 reduce every rebellious
State to Territorial condition. So
far as Missouri was concerned negro
suffrage was justice to the negro and
rebel suffrage grace to the disloyal.
He was for Justice first and second
for grace. He severely criticised
Senators Wade and Henderson for
leaving Washington at the critical
moment only for the purpose Of de-
feating him. he concluded by OBJ
serving that his name was known
far and wide and never had Sena.
torial election commanded % much
attention both in America and Eu-
rope as this one had. He believed
his election would greatly encourage
immigration to this country and the
State.
Mr.. HENDERSON was called upon and
spoke ridiculing many remarks Of
Schurz, advocated his own reelection
and made . strong effort in behalf oi
the repeal Of the Acknowledgement
act.
Additional dispatches received to-
day from Albany, N. Y, state that
