How We are LegisIated for.

The Washington correspondent Of a
prominent Radical journal in Chicago
gives the following interesting sketch of
the manner In which politics are mapinu-
lated by the dominant party in Congress
The Republican caucus is a sort of
council OF ten under the council of thirty
an irresponsible and unrecognized mas
ter of the Senate. 1t meets by private
and written notification in the marble
room, or in the reception room, in the rear
OF the President of the Senate, and de-
termines upon the policy which the party
VIII pursue upon any measure. Whoever
goes into caucus must abide by its verdict

wife and children. He must obey the

Let Common Sense Decide.

What is the rational mode Of procedure In cases
OF general debility and nervous prostration? Does
not reason tell us that judciOus stimulation is re-
quired. To resort to violent purgation in such a
case is as absurd it would be to bleed a starving
man. Yet 1t Is done every day. Yes, this stupid
and unphilOsophical practice is continued in the
teeth OF the great fact that physical weakness with
all the netrOts disturbances that accompany It is

NEW YoRK, Dec. 2-Trains on the
Morris and Essex. and Erie Railroads
were detained several hours this
morning, at West End tunnel.
There is renewed hostilities between
those companies. The workmen of
the Morris & Essex attempted to put
down a double frog for the purpose Of
running narrow guage cars through
the tHunel, and the Erie plloed a To-
comotive where the connection was
making to prevent tie work fcr sew
ersl hours. There is no hope of a
settlement. Governor Randolph has
been telegraphed and is expected to
interfere. Large bodies of wOrkmen
of both roads are present, but a large
force of police prevents disturb
anee. Jim Fisk left for the seat of
war this afternoon.

NEW YoRK, December 2.-The
Tribune correspondent at st. Peters
burg telegraphs the full text Of
GOftschakof' . reply TO Earl Granville,
which, however, contains little that
has net been touched upon By the
regular dispatches. Russia declined,
as is already known, TO discuss the
propriety of her former note, TO recall
any precedent, or cite any example, as
such controversy would in no way
promote a good understanding, which
is desired. After referring to the in
variable failure of the attempts made
nc different times, to assemble the
powers in q general conference, With
view 70 remove the causes of the diff
Guilty which disturb the general peace,
Gortschakof continues the abrogation
of the present crisis, and the ab-
sence Of the regular Government In
France, and to postpone still further.
the probability of such an agreement.
Meanwhile, the position in which the
treaty was left By Russia, has become
more and more intoleFabie.
Earl Granville will agree that Eu
rope of to-day is very far from being
the Europe which signed the treaty
OF 1856. It was impossible that Rus
sia should agree to remain the only
pSWer bound indefiaitely 20 an agree
ment, which, oneroUs as it was at the
time when il vas concluded, became
daily weaker IN its guaratees. Our
august Master has too deep a sense of
Whist ne owes to his country than TO

obligation against which the national
seBaments protest. We cannot Ed-
NIT that the abr0gatIoa of a purely
theoretical prime pie. not followed by

which possibly restores to Russia
right Of which no good power could
consent 10 be deprived, ought to be
considered a menace to peace, nor that
in avoiding one point of che treaty of
1856. the a0rogstion of all is implied.
The Imperial Cabinet never had any
such intention. On the contrary, our
communication on October 18Th, 10
the most explicit terms, stated that
his Majesty, the Emperor, maintains
his adhesion 10 the general principles
Of the treaty Of 1855, and that he is
ready TO come TO an agreement With
siguatery powers of that treaty, either
10 confirm its general stipulatlons. OF

them any other equitable arrange
ment which may be thought suitaole
to secure repose of the East, and the
equilibrium of Europe. There seems
then, to be no reason why the Cabinet
at London should not, if it please
enter into an explanation with the
signatoFies of the treaty of 90: for oul
part We are ready. in any deliberatioI

one of them was now buildings fac

and that soon eoolie labor would be
