To the Editors efthe Independent
Nothing ofspecial interest trans
pired in either House to-day. A
few unimportant bills ard resolu
tons were offered, and a number
of others came up on their first and
second readings. A vote for Sena-
tor was had in joint convention,
under the law of Congress which
requires that at least one vote for
Senator be taken during each day
of the session until q choice is
made. 1t resulted as follows:-
Camden q, Walker 20, Brannon
IA, Price 10, Caperton 3, LOOMS 8.
Okey johnson 2, Faulkner ], G. F.
Scott /, 1. A. Hutchinson ], G. ID.

The Democratic caucus met
again tonight and resumed ba l.
loting. Three were taken, MAX
ing in all to this time twenty. five.
the last ballot stood as follows:-
Price IL, Camden 20, Walker "a,
Brannon 10, Caperton 3. A reso-
luton was adopted before ballot
ing commenced that the caucus ad-
journ after taking three ballots.
1t will be seen that the "dead
lock " on the Senatorial question
continues, with no outward indi-
cations of a break. What the end
will be it is now impossible to
foretell. The continued struggle
has become irksome, and has lost
much of the interest which at first
surrounded it. Camden and Walk
er hold the bulk of the vote, and
the contest is clearly between
them, yet the scattering vote for
other candidates is sufficient to
prevent IA nomination. The con-
test seems to have drifted into the
condition of a hung jury" each
party seeming determined to test
the nerve and endurance of the
other. 1t is no longer a question
Of fitness and merit on the part of
candidates. but a trial of muscle
and physical endurance on the
part of their supporters. The scat
tering' voters declare they will
hold out until the close of the ses-
sion. and it is hardly to be expect
ed that the friends or The two lead
ing candidates will yield to this
doggedness on the part of the OBJ
streperous few. Legislation has
been and will be considerably re-
tarded until this matter is disposed
of, and already the question of pro-
longing the session beyond the

ously discussed II Will n quire a

OF the majority. Inc lew friends
of Price, Brannon and Caperton
persist in voting for men who have
no earthly chance of success. and
their action simply tends to pre-
vent a nomination by the MAORI
ty. The chief leaders in the move
ment are Col. Menroe, Speaker OF
the House, d. ID. Johnson, Presi-
dent Of the Senate, Robert Sher-
rard, and one or two others. Mr..
Monroe really has no right to par
ticipate in the proceedings of the
caucus, as he has declared that
in the event OF the nomination of
one gentleman who is voted for in
caucus, he would not support him.
Ipresume this is the determination
of the rest Of the faction of which
he is chief, although he is the only
one who has openly expressed
himself in this manner.
The Committees of both Houses
have plenty Of work, and it now
looks impossible fer the Legisla-
ture to finish up In the remaining
days Of the session the work work al.
ready cut out. Not a single bill has
yet been passed, and in the House
alone, over a hundred bills and res
oluiions have already been offered.
The Capital removal bill Is new
in the hands Of the printer, and
will probably come up on it's Sec
ond readi::S tomorrow. The
frieccIs ofthe Bill confidently claim
that 1t will pass both Houses. They
claim q majority Of one in the
Senate and six in the House. The
Charleston people are making des-
perate efforts to defeat it, but I'M
less their late tactics Of buv', mo- q
vote can be repeated. tie Capital
will be removed.
. In the Hous-s yesterday Mr.. Get
tlngeroae q resolution to amend
the code In reference to auctioneers
andeemmon criers. No other busi-
ness worthy of note was transact
ed.
The crowd Of strangers drawn
hither by the interest felt in CaDi-
tai removal and the Senatorshfp,
is quite large, and accessions are
daily made to the number. When
these two questions of leading in
terest are disposed of there will be
quite an exodus. Your correspon-
dent will probably "pull out" in
q day or two unless there are posi-
tive indications that these interest
ing questions will be at once dis
posed of. He is heartily tired of
the place and is ready atany mo-
ment to step down and out. L

All the votos given for his ep-
ponents were cast by Democrats
who preferred Senator more
closel y identified with their Sec
tional views.
Mr. Johnson took occasion to say
that he would take no radical pos
ition, that he would not oppose
the President except in extreme
cases, and that he would never for
get what he owed to the Repub-
licans who supported him. In
fact his presence In the Senate is
not likely to do the Republicans
any serious damage. His garuili-
ty will be pretty certain to involve
his Democratic friends in trouble,
and If they try to discipline him
they will surely wake up the
wrong customer.
1t must in all honesty be said Of
Mr.. johnson that he is thoroughly
honest and candid and that is
more than can be truly said of
many Of the Senators.

The Senatorial question is still in
muddle. None of the candidates
seem disposed to yield, and predic-
tions and speculations are out of
order. 1t looks now as if the pres
ent dead lock" might continue
until the close of the session. Eve
ry vote and ballot taken in Joint
Convention of the two Houses and
in the Democratic caucus plainly
indicate that the majority favor
either Camden or Walker. and yet
factious minority persist i'm pre-
venting a nomination, without the
slightest hope of electing any on
of their several candidates. The
vote in joint convention of the
Senate and House yesterday stood
about as former votes-Camden
and Walker being the leading cam
didates. In the caucus last night
Camden led on every ballot, and

third ballot 10 tweuty-fOur votes.
If another ballot had been taken.

would have been able to run him
up to the thirty-three votes. His
friends have thus far remained firm
and determined in his support, and

be nominated-if nomination. is
made this session. The Senatorial
question very much retards legis-

To tie Editors Of the Independent:
The Senatorial question is I'M
changed. The vote in joint con-

day, and in caucus last night,
showed about the came state oil af-
fairs as heretofore. There is no
indications of a break in the pres
ent "dead lock, and in all proba-
bility the voting will continue,
with the same result, for some
time to come, and may run thro'
the session. The minority seem
determined to defeat the will of
the majority, and holding the bal
ance of power, are able to carry
out their designs If they persist in
it.

amendments will be offered by its

THE FIELD.

The initial work of the political
campaign for 1876 has already be-
gun in Pennsylvania,and the cleo
tions in February for municipal
officers both in the borough and
cities of the State will indicate the
strength of parties for the contest
to follow in the fall. Both par
ties will endeavor to make a good
showing in February, because of
tn 9 effect 1t will have on the fall
election (; and in that contest, when
only Governor and State Treas
1rer are to be chosen, there will
be q tremendous effort made to
carry Pennsylvania, alike by the
Republicans and the Democracy,
because the result in the Keystone
State this year will have q strong
influence on the Presidential cleo
ton of 1876. Whichever party
carries Pennsylvania this year
will likely be able to hold the
State next year, q holding that

took a wide range, and the time

The Dead Lock i'm Congress.
Submission to the will of the ma

pies Of cur system of government,
ana 1t is one upon which Demo.
cratic leaders formerly based much
Of their claim to popular support.
In q country like ours, where laws
are made and officers chosen by the
voice of the majority, it seems un-
neutral for any political body of
men to oppose the operation of
that principle. But in the popular
branch of Congress, last week.
the Democrats, comprising not
more than one third of the whole
number of members, Consumed
several days in the Effort to pre-
vent the other two thirds
from taking Vote on proposed
law. The subjectbe the House
was the Civil Rights Bill, and it
was perfectly clear that large
majority were In favor of censid-
ering. if not of passing the meas
ure. The Democrats, by every de-
vice in their power. obstructed the
way to an actual vote, and sought
to defeat by such means an express
sion Of the will of the majority
While stoutly asserting that the
majority were responsible for all
legislation, they did their best to
prevent the majority from legis
lating at all in this respect.
They thus opposed the only
method by which it is possible to
transact the public business. The
Civil Rights Bill may or may not
be expedient in 1t itself. but that
has nothing to do with the right
of the controlling party in the
House to take it up and pass it lift
thinks proper. 1t is the majority,
not the minority, that must take
the ultimate responsibility. When
the Democrats control the House,
as they will next year, they will
expect to conduct business accord
ing TO their own ideas, and they
will how vi most vigorously If the
Republican minority attempt to
defeat their purposes by such fill
clustering tactics as were practiced
last week. The course that was
then pursued was not at all credi-
table to their political foresight.
The most noteworthy of all the
recentSenator ial elections is that
which resulted in the choice of An
drew johnson, as Senator from
Tennessee. A few years ago he was
so conspicuously before the public
thateven his peculiarities are still
remembered, and many can hard
ly think of him in connection with
Senatorial dignity without a smile.
Yet Mr.. Johnson has, after all,
some good points, and the Tenne-
seeans might have chosen a far
worse man. His competitors for
the position were all men who had
been more or less identified with
The defunct "Confederacy." while
no one can doubt that Mr.. john
son was genuine Unienest. He
was accordingly supported by the
few Republicans who hold seats in
the Tennessee Legislature, and his
election is anything but a distinc-
tive Democratic victory.
