Carpet.Daysers I'm Council.
A Washington special says: The
caucus Of Southern Republicans on Sat-
urday night seems to have been in the
nature Of an indignation meeting. Tho
principal ground Of complaints seemed
to be a disposition OF tho party at the
North as q party to hold carpet-baggers
accountable for the disordered state Of
things in the South and to give themthe
cold shoulder in consequence. They
protested against this, alleging that the
reconstruction policy was devised by the
Republican party, and that Republicans OF
the South were only instruments to carry
IL out. II it had brought forth bitter
fruit, the party is to blame; they are not.
They were not 90 much the instruments
in carrying out that policy as were the
INSCRIPTIONS men who took advantage
Of its weak points to serve their W
ends. The final conclusion was that
while they asked but little consideration
and received less at the hands Of the Re-
publican party. still they were deter
mined to cling to loyalty and serve the
organization they had adopted. An nd.
dress was prepared recommending that
the present Congress make appropria-
tons for the Army and Department OF
Justice for the next two years, 30 that n

rent the preservation Of order and the
enforcement OF laws. Senators Clayton

psared as delegates from the Southern
Senatorial Republican caucus, and fully

nature, referred to as having been adop-
ted last night. The caucus will meet
