WASHINGTON, March l0-The caucus is 80
equally divided that both parties are afraid to
call vote on Mr.. Binghams amendment to
the Georgia bill. A motion to adjourn until
tomorrow was defeated. A motion to ad-
journuntil this evening was also defeated.
The motion to adjourn sine die was carried.
A close poll of the Senate shows ten majori-
ity for Binghams amendment, and unless
another caucus is called, the adoption of the
bill as it came from the House is regarded
certain. The feeling in the caucus was
quite bitter, and should another caucus be
called, it is likely the friends of Bingham's
amendment will remain away.
Internal revenue receipts to-day, $685. 900.
No Southern nominations were made to-
day.
4 colored delegation, from Tennessee,
called on the President o-day with me-
mortal, asking for protection against out
laws. Six Congressman accompanied them.
iSendte.-A large number of the citizens OF
Mississippi have petitioned for the abolition
of the franking privilege.
Official documents from General Rey-
nolds, announcing the adoption of the
amendments to the constitution of the
United States bv the State of Texas, have
been laid before the Senate.
The Senate is in session tonight on the
pending bill.
House-Tbe air line railroad bill has been
postponed until Tuesday.
The bill reducing the number of army
officers was resumed, and after various
amendments passed. It consists of fifteen
sections.
1t is currently rumored here among Lou
isiana politicians that Collector Casey and
Governor Warmoth have formed an alliance,
involving Casey's support of the State ad-
ministration and Warmoth's support of
Casey in retaining some Of his favorite
officers, who are said to be Democrats.
The Senate passed Mr.. kGllogg's bill for
the survey and estimates for the IMPROVE
ment and navigation of the Bayou Teche,
and appropriated FIVE hundred dollars for
the same.
The President was very cordial to Cen
eral Quesada and party, but entirely nom
committal.
The sudden passage of the army bill
creates much astonishment. All amend.
ments were voted down, except those pro
posed by the Committee on Military Affairs,
the most important of which was the
erasure of the clause restoring the Indian
Bureau to the War Department. General
Sheridan's cruel conduct toward the Indians
caused this change.
