+ IS surmised that the minority of,the Com
mittee on the Public debt will not now support
the old Funding Bill. Major Sutherlin has a
proposition looking to the repeal Of the coupon
system and the payment Of 4 per ct. interest
While the bill Of the majority does not please
ANYBODY AS a whole, it will no doubt pass with
out amendment. The compromising of interest,
which was represented to be one of the most
olious of the provisions of the Funding bill. Is
retained as one of the features Of the bill re-
ported by the committee.

TIE DEBT Question: Richmond En-.
ouirer contains Il letter FROM Judge Underwood,
dated Alexandria, Va, Jan. %, as follows:
Ia tile nlitor qfhc Enqwrcr In your re
cent heroic efforts to persuade our people to
pay their debts and save their reputation from
every suspicion of dishonor or Republication, you
have my most hearty appreciation. lis true
We are burdened with very large debt, and
many of us can only pay our taxes by sale OF
a portion Of our land which we are unable TO
cultivate. 1t is a source of consolation, how
ever that the debt has been incurred prlnc-
pay for railroads and other improvements,
which have added more than their cost to the
value of our real estate, and was, therefore, a
good investment. We nave ~, WO,QoO OF
acres Of land in this State, which, by the as
sessment Of 1870, was valued at s216,Wmoo0,
or over twelve and hall dollars per acre. =
Without the improvements created ~ the
debt this same real estate would not be valued
at ten dollars per acre, or titty-tIvc millions
thus added is much more than our indebted
ness.
We should, therefore, be thankful Tor the
enterprise of those who have gone before US,
and built our railroads. How intolcrable, in
this age of civilization, would be our condition
without these improvements; and shall we en-
10y the benefits and refuse to bear the burdens
Of their construction?
If following the example of Congress, we
should impose these burdens principally on the
luxurics of whiskey and tobacco by large
licenses on their sale, the necessarics of lite
might be lightly taxed and the burdens them
selves, by diminishing the consumption of those
pernicous luxuries which cause more than halt
the poverty insanity, crime, disease and DO,
nestle intelcity that attilct society, would
prove decided blessing 20 our people.

WHO Is KING CAUcUs?-The word eau
political meetings for the selection of party
candidates and promoting party interests, al
though of purely American origin, is not unfa-
miliar in Europe We see by the cable dis
patches that even the slow grandecs of Spain
have enthroned King Caucus in the city Of
Philip. They have been holding caucus of
the Cortes preliminary to the selection of a
president of that august body. In the u. ).
the word is among politicians and newspaper
readers, one of almost daily use, yet but few
know its origin. 1t is Boston word, of rev.
dictionary origin, first used by the tories as a
term to express contempt for the patriots, who
held caulkers' meetings. The Knickcrbocker
Magazine says:
"On the I'd Of March, ITO. a quarrel oc,
CURED in Boston between the soldiers and some
ropcmakers, in which the latter were overpow-
cred and beaten The people were greatly exas-
pcrated at this, and sought opportunities for re-
taliation. On the 9Th of the same month, in a
similar affray, the soldiers fired upon the peo-
pie of the town, killing and wounding several.
This induced the rope-makers and caulkers,
whose occupations brought them into contact,
to form society, at the meetings OF which in
hammatory addresses were delivered, and the
most violent resolutions passed against the
British government and its agents and instru-
ments in America The tories, in derlson,
called these assemblies caulkers meetings, and
the term was at length corrupted to caucus.
CAMELs IN NEvADA-A train Of over a
dozen camels arrived in this city yesterday at:
ternoon from the Valley Of the Carson river,
below Dayton. These ships of the desert
were loaded with hay, in bales, for Adams
hay yard on north D street The huge, un-
calmly beasts presented quite picturesque ap-
pcarauce as they flied into town with their
cumberous freight. Upon arriving at the hay
yard, at the word of command, they all knelt
down to be relieved Of their loads. These ami
mails appear TO thrive quite as we'll in this
country as in the wilds of Sahara. There are
an abundance of deserts here if they are neces-
sary to the comfort of the beasts.

ARREST. On last Sunday evening dispatch
was received by the police officials IN this city,
from Baltimore ordering the arrest OF two
Young men, named respectively Charles and
Robert Greer, upon their arrival IN the city,
via the Little Mama Railroad. The arrest
was made yesterday morning, and the. young
men were locked up on the charge OF grand
larceny. Their story is brief and plain one.
They have been employed as clerks in the me-
tropolis of Maryland, and their father is dry
goods merchant of that city. They have not
Been addicted to loose habits. with the excep-
ton of frequentiug billiard saloons, but have
lately become possessed Of an idea that Baltl
more was not the proper place wherein they
could hope to rise to prominence. \ few days
ago their father entrusted them with the sum
of 81, 100 to deposit in one Of the city banks
Finding themselves with so much money In
their possession, they at once decided to leave
the town, and after sporting around little,
carried their resolution into effect by securing
passage By the first train for this city. When
searched at the station house, 81 $50 of the
stolen money was found in their possession
Thev now acknowledge the folly Of their act,
are repentant and will probably be forgiven
when they reach home. They will probably be
sent off today. Cincinnati Enquirer

C. C. Fulton writes from London to
his paper, the Baltimore American, re-
speeding Stanley's discovery OF Living
stone as follows: .aa1s. II y1ssli
The feat of Stanley, of the New York
Herald, in dashing off into Africa, and
bringing Livingstone out from his hiding
place, has set all England wild, and has
started the people all on new trail OF
speculation as to the American charac-
ter. The print shops all over London
have their windows filled with photo
graphs of Stanley and the native Afri-
can boy he brought home with him.
They are done up in variety OF cos
tunes and attitudes, showing that Stan
ley is making the most OF his perform
ance, but, at the same time, he is only
humoring the popular feeling on the
subject. / am asked every day what
Bennett expects to make by going to
such an expenditure; how he expects to
get his money back, etc. The feat has
upset all their ideas, and convictions
that the almighty dollar was the con-
trolling inducement with the American.
Whilst they are astounded at the liber-
atty displayed, they are mortified that
it was not an Englishman who first
reached him, and feel chagrined at the
neglect which allowed his existence to
remain so long matter of uncertainty.
They feel constrained to do honor to
Stanley's daring enterprise, and feel
ashamed of themselves that there is
necessity for so doing 1t was grand
undertaking. and both Bennett and
Stanley deserve the thanks of their
countrymen for their enterprise and
daring
