Radical Caucus- Congress mot Like
ly 90 Adjourn for six weelEsA
NV York, March The Fribune's
Washington special says the Senate Re-
publican caucus..will meet this morning, for
the purpose of appointing Committee to
revise the list of Senate Committee consid-
ering the question of fixing an early date
for adjournment. Much difference of
opinion prevails among Senators, upon
the latter question. 1t is certain the
House resolution will not be agreed to,
and the prospect now is, there will be a
total disagreement. On the part, of the
Senate, it is quite certain, If any any
general legislation is begun, it will be i'm
possible to bring the session to q. close
under a month or six weeks. If, there
fore, both Houses do not agree by the
end of this week, upon day for ad
iourning, it will be safe 10 predict that
Congress will sit until about the middle
of April. = ga RwFTa Wfw

direct from the court room, but he pleaded
go earnestly that one nights delay was
granted him. 1t appears he sought the
delay in order to suicide, as when the Of

under the present sentence and that which
will undoubtedly be pronounced against
him in San Francisco, will be twenty,

Radical Tricks.
The Southern Radicals are endeavoring
to operate on the fears of their party
associates to bring about prolonged ses.
sion, in order to secure some such bill
as Gen Butler tried to force through
the last House. A number of them
waited on the President to-day to ak
his influence in recommending such
legislation. 1t is reported that dele
CATION of negro legislators is on the way
here from South Carolina, with an IN
blushing declaration that condition Of
quasi war exists, against which their so,
called State organization is pOwerless
Great activity prevails among the more

fEfdhe President has not given any init
n3sSp of his views, beyond saying, to
Fday$thst he thought it would be well fol
Congress to remain here two or three
weeks. The general impression, how
ever, is that the Senate will amend thu
House resolution and substitute Monday
next as the day On which an ad
| journment will be had. There is
however, authority for stating that tn,
President was at first favorable to al
early adjournment of Congress, with tn,
idea, probably, of cutting large fgur,
before the people when they were away
and having more time for amusement
and excursions. RESPONSIVENESS from tn
ultra may, 20 some extent, modify hi
original views.
