WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-The Republican Sena
tors held a caucus to day, which continued FOL
several hours. The chief topic of discussion was
the condition Of the South, but there being con.

ana question, ag. eed to await the action of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections on the
Pinchback credentials and will, therefore, be
governed in the Senate by the committees report.
Some of the Senators saw no escape from the
present difficulties in that State, except by re-
handing it to territorial condition. By this
means they could avoid the complications grow
ing out of the official recognition of the Kellogg
government, and open way by which order may
be restored. Others thought stronger hand
might be stretched toward several of the South
ern States otherwise there might be anarchy.
There were opinions different from these ex-
pressed by the more conservative Senators. All
seemed to comprehend the difficulties of the
situation, but there was no distinctive plan for
maily presented measure of relief. There
was large attendance q. tho House RepubIi-
can caucus tonight and a general discussion as
ent 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 public acts with the ma jor-
ity OF the House. resolution for this purpose
will probably be introduced in the House on
Monday, and when adopted, will have the effect
of evAding the two-thiId DIS rule as to public acts
including the Civil Rights; the more energetic
enforcement OF protective laws in the South and
authorizing the President to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus in certain cases, together with
other measures which have been the subject of
by the caucus committee.
The proceedings are reported to have been
harmonious, and the result entirely satisfactory

the taxpayers the Conservative ticket.
We think the good order here quite remark
able, when we reflect that the parish officials and
representatives who were elected by six hundred
majority, in as orderly an election as ever was
witnessed, have been for the second time cheated
OF their success by the present ruling dynasty.
We will only add that the statements referred
to are so utrageously false and groundless that
they could only have originated in a crazy brain
and poorly concealed malice.

1t seems pretty clear that one of the new
RACES in engineering will be that of tunnelng
rivers on the opposite shores of which great
cities are situated. New York correspond
ent reports that permission has been asked Of
the Jersey City Aldermen by Jerome Wenne-
macher, Of Brussels, Belgium, to build a sub
marine railway under the North River, from
the foot of Hudson street, on the Jersey side,
to the City Hall. A draft of the tunnel shows
it to be quite similar to that of the proposed
tunnel between Fifteenth street and Christie
pher street, upon the opeIation of which an
injunction has been obtained by the Della
ware and Lackawana Company Mr. Scud-
der has introduced into Congress bill to au-
thorize the tunneling of both the North and
East Rivers at New York. When the good
people of America come to celebrate the sec
ond centenary of their independence they
will probably wonder how this slow age got
on so well without tunnels under all its great
rivers and great cities

NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The market for cotton
has been more active, and firnler tone has been
established with some advance realized during
the early days Of the week, but which was after
wards partially lost, and which leaves the market
value 1sc higher than at this time last week
Export business has been materially accelerated
by the liberal supply of freight room, which, in
some instances, was unusually low, as the steam
ers generally were supplied with heavy freight,
which could not be taken, and the extra room
was filed with light goods, thus giving the ship
pers ofcotton light margin of profit in conces-
sion of the rates OF transportation.
The total sales Of the week were 159,S47 bales,
of which 1921 bales we're for immediate deliv-
cry and the balance on contracts for future de-
livery.
The imports of dry goods for the week were

How Will the Kellogg Crowd Get Paid

BY the amendment OF the Constitution just
promulgated by the Returning Board, the rev.
enue Of each year shall be devoted solely to the
expenses OF the SAID year for which it shall be
raised"
The expenses Of the present Legislature must
be paid out Of the revenue raised for 1875. Now
that is in process of collection as regards the
licenses and will be collectable only next year as
regards taxes.
The hungry. crowd must then wait patiently,
as there is no surplus in the Treasury for pre-
vious years. Boys, wait for the returns for Ii.
censcs of this year. That is your first chance
And next year You will collect tho balance.
