WARRINGTON, d. c., March 10, 1871.
The Democratic members Of Congress hclt
= caucus on Saturday, Senator Casserly ir
the chair. 1t was determined that the Dem
ocraiic members must be in constant attend
snce during this session in order to resist witt
all their strength the attempts Of the Radicals
to pass the proposed iufamy, known as thu
XII Klux bill, this session. A Congressional
Committee was appointed to take charge o
elections and. political 8 matters generally
The following resolution was unanimously a
|dopted by the caucus: "That we cordial,
commend to our Democratic and Cnnserva
tive -fellow-citizens throughout the countr,
The Patriot of the city Of Washington, as 6
newspaper eminently worthy Of their favor
and support, by reason Of the high tone, great
ability, and fidelity to correct principles
which characterize its management" This
high and unusual compliment to the editors
and proprietors of The Patriot is we'll dcserv-
Ell, for.from its being located at the great po-
litical csntre; its close adherance to the Con-
stitution and the principles Of the Democratic
party; its sound views on all the great ques-
tons Of the day, and the ability with which
it is conducted, as well as its national charac-
ter, makes It essentially the organ of the
Democratic party. May its success long con-

Mr.. Beck will press bis amnesty bill to-day
and there Isl but little doubt Of the necessary
two-thirds being secured. There will proba-
bly, BE- aclause added excepting two classes,
numbering about two huud:ed persons. In
this the Honse viii very nearly represent the
wish Of the people, but the Senate, not having
to reoder an account direct to the people, will
refuse to pass the bill. The Senate is the
body which the people have most to fear in
the base efforts to abridge their liberties as
will be exempli6ed in this amnesty bill.
It is understood that General Schenck will
resign the mission to England when the 'alf
& 'alf Commission finishes its labors, in order
to accept the attorneyship of a railroad com
psny, one which has received a large land
grant and which can afford to pay literally
for the services of such valuable man az
Schenck. :.-
Tho Protectionists are Dragging of their
skili in defeating, A. they claim they will, the
bill repeating the duty on coal and salt. The
OhreHice. Radical, asks: "Will the result
pay either the protective tariff men or the
Republican party? We think not" The
Radical party is 10 . large majority and must
be held responsible for this work. There j.
= sufficient number Of. these Radicals from
the West who were elected as Anti-high-tarif
men to give, when voting with the Demo.
Gratis, . majority .of thirty three, and yet
when simple proposition to repeal the du.
ties on salt and coal is made, they manage t.
80 permit their Protectionist brethren to SC
use them that they might as we'll be professet
High.tariff men. This has heretofore beer
the case to such an extent that it looked a.
if the Protectionists owned the Western Radi
cal members, who constantly voted openly fol
protection or worked in ways that we're DARK
and 30 betrayed the interests Of their consti
tuents. That the present Radical revenu,
rsfarmers will be any more true to their con.
stituents than their predecessors is not to b.
expected, from their permitting the bill re.
pealiDg the duties on coal and salt, to be sc
loaded down with amendments as to ensure
its defeat, and thus again will Radcaisu
show its devotion to protection despite the
wish of large majority Of the people as ex-
pressed 10 tho recent elections.
.The San. Domingo Commissioners will BE-
here in about ten days, but its coming will
have no effect Elm prolonging the session Of
Congress. The President we'll knows thai
bis job has no chance in the House. The
programme laid down before the Commits.
sioues sailed was that they should make a
treaty which is to be ratified by the Senate
that body being the servile tool Of the Presi.
dent, but in my opinion the blunder Of dis
placing Mrs Sumner from the Craftsmanship
of the Foreign Relations committee will in al
probability defeat ths darling speculation Of
tho greedy Ulysses Messrs.@ Sumner and
Sehufs will most aunsnercifuliy scourge The
