There was a large attendance at the,
House Republican caucus to-night,
and the general discussion as to what
was best to be done in view, of the
present condition of the South. but
none of the measures reported at the
previous caucus were acted upon.
Finally resolution was adopted
placing the power of passing all pub
lie acts with majority of the House.
Resolutions fer this, purpose will
probably be introduced In the House
on Monday. and when adopted will
have the effect OF eyading the Two
thirds rule as, to public acts, incl uding
civil rights, the more energetic en-
force ment of the protective laws in
the South, and authorizing the Presi
dent TO suspend the writ of habeas
corpus in certain cases, together with
other measures which have been the
subject of consideration BY the caucus

resented to have been harmonious

=. The Republican Senators held
caucus to-day. Some of the Senator's
saw no escape from the present diff
cuIties IN that State except by re-
manding it to territorial condition
by this means they could avoid the
implications growing out of tie Of
fetal recognition OF the kellogg Gov
ernment,v and eren a Way by which
/ order may eventually be restored.
Others thought a stronger hand ought
to be stretched toward. several OF the
Southern States. Otherwise there
might be anarchy. There were epin-
ions different from these expressed by
more conservative members. All
seemed to comprehend the difficulties
of the situation, but there was no dis
tinetIye plan presented as measure.

blunt in bis language regarding
the situation In Louisiana, but in
his dispatch. calling the White
League s.banditti..' he used the
right word exactly If the leaders
of the White League in New
Orleans are not murderers, what
are theys They deliberately planned
an attack on the constituted an
thorities of tine State. and brought
on fight In September last which
resulted IN the killing of nearly
two hundred men Some body was
and. still is responsible for this
shedding of blood Moreover, IN
diyidual members of the organic
ton have, duringsthes last year,
comnittslsseores OF murders and
assassinations in New Orleans.
while other parts of the State have
witnessed the most atrocious butch
cries of both white and colored
men on account of their political
opinions Shurely, there is no
great improperly in terming the
perpetrators of such crimes ban
