Decaying Condition of the Republican
Eariy.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2l.-The Repub-
lican Senators held caucus. this after
noon. at the solicitation OF Southern Re
publican Senators and representatives, at
which the condition OF the South was con-
sidercd. Senators from the South advo-
atedthe sending OF troops to several of the
States. They feared that the Republican
PARTY will be hopelessly dead unless de-
ci1ed steps we're taken during the present
session to put down the turbulent whites.
They confessed their inability to poll the
whole white vote. The Northern Sena
tors did not embrace the opposition, and
some of them openly expressed them
selves against further interference with
the affairs of the South, saying they had
lost many votes in the North by it.
SenatoS Lewis, of Virginia, declared
the Republican party had lost power in
the South because of the bad chacter OF
many of its would lie leaders and the ad-
vocacy Of the civil rights till which he
considered a most iRjudicious measure.
The South could only be cared for by the
Republican party, as at present organized,
hv sending soldiers enough there TO pre-
vent illegal voting. The majority cut
IDENTIFY agreed with these remarks, as. be
lore a vote was taken, many OF the Sena
toes left the room. and Senator Morton
who was relied upon by the extreme lie
publicans, did not come to their relief.
