caucusses are being held almost every
night The removallsts claim thirty.six
members Of the House aud fourteen
members Of the Senate, and in conse,
Quence their faces look buOyant. The
Sntiremovalists, whilst very much fright.
ened, are still working for dear life, and
urging all manner Of pleas. They urge
the Democratic members to vote against
removal, and threaten the disruption Of
tue Democratic party If their commands
are not obeyed. They cry, "'Tis a Re
publican trick to break our ranks" They
have buttonhOled the members unit
their coats and patience are both worr
out, and heard one Of them remark to {
Charlestonian who was pleading for hi!
vote against removal, that he thought thu
interests Of his constituency paramount
to the dictation or lie Of any politica
party. He Is the right man In the RICH
place. Fie, Charleston, for shame
you have TO resort to threats Of party dis
tuptlOn, II you have to cry, leave US thu
Capital, or we'll break ranks" your causl
must be weak indeed.
