DIVISION OF SENTIMENT IN TIE NORTH,
as shown in the circulation of o paper In
New York approving the action Of the Ad-
ministration. This must be very cold COM
fort, though, when the obscure names APP
pended to this paper are compared with those

Cooper Institute. It may be considered GER
tain, however, that no backward step viii

l. f.~sa OUTRAGE DOCUMENTS. n u,ts...ss.t..
Among the outrage documents to be sent
into Congress are, 1t is understood, the re-
ports of Hester and Beach, the Goyernment
| detectives sent to Alabama last fall, and
whose falsehoods and forgeries were after
wards so thoroughly exposed. Hesteris said
now to be In Louisiana, where be was sent
| TO "work up" that Stale as he worked up
Alabama. Doubtless some of his reports for
Louisiana will also be included. Stuff like
this, which has been manufactured by the
cord, is relied on to sustain the new southern
policy. Columns and columns of it were
published in the outrage" organ, the New
York Republic, before the elections. 1t is
on par with Kelogg's tale Of plot con-
cected In Baltimore to assassinate the Presi-
dent. Almost simultaneously with the an
nourcement of the marvellous discovery by
Kellogg it is given out that -. .....
THREATENING LETTER. FROM BALTIMORE
have been received at the White House, and
the Administration organ here published
| qo,,r.ch a that a RaItlmOrp
lady had expressed wish for another Wilkes
Booth. It seems Incredible that 1t should
be seriously contemplated to attemptto oe'
ceive and delude the American people oy the
adoption Of such TACTICS.
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
The caucus of Republican members of the
House of Representatives last night was very
largely attended. Mr.. Maynard, Of Tennes-
see, presided. As soon as the caucus had been
called to order Mr.. White, representative at
large for the State Of Alabama, offered the
resolution be introduced in the House few
days ago endorsing the action Of the Presl-
dent and of General Sheridan for the course
pursued at New Orleans. In support of his
resolution Mr.. White made what was charac-
terized by member Of the caucus as regular
blood.and-thuDder speech" He was so
violent IS to secure the disapprobation of
large majority Of bis colleagues. Mr.. Dawes
questioned Dir. White at length, and by his
remarks showed plainly that be did not ap-
prove Of the course that had been pursued
by the military in New Orleans. Mr.. Cessna,
OF Pennsylvania, followed in support Of all
that the President had done. General But
Ter was opposed to the adoption of Mr..
Whites resolution, and advocated the bill he

ton Of the Louisiana difficulty.
Mr.. E. r. Hoar, of Massachusetts,, gave q
modified support of the Presidents action,
but at the same time indicated by his lam
guage that he did not approve Of all that had
been done.
Mr.. Sypher, of Louisiana, made very
radical speech, In the course of which he de-
nounced the people Of his State in terms
that were distasteful to many Of the gentle
men present. 1t may be added in this con-
nection that while Mr.. sypher approved of
Sheridan's course in the caucus be- privately
denounces the Kellogg government. But in
his opinion the safety of the party was OF
more value than an honestly entertained
opinion of the venality of the Kellogg gov
eminent.
sEMI-ApoLoGY FOR TIE PRESIDENT.
Mr.. Garfield, of Ohio, madea speech which
was looked upon by all as semi-apologetic OF
the Presidents action. In the course OF bis
remarks be stated as a matter of fact that
when the Thirty.eighth Congress was or
ganized fears were entertained that the clerk
of the preceding Congress (Mr. Emerson
Etheridge) would not call the names Of the
Republican members-elect. In anticipation
of difficulty two hundred and fifty regular
soldiers were stationed in the basement OF
the capitol, and directed to submit to the Or
ders of Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, then mem.
Der of Congress from Pennsylvania. Mr.
Etheridge called the roll, and there was con.
sequently no necessity to use the troops.
Mr.. Garfield related this to show that in eX-
treme cases the employment of troops might
be necessary; but be was not prepared to
admit that so great an exigency existed in
the case of Louisiana. ..
| SPEAKER BLAINE RETICRST.
Calls were made for Mr.. Speaker Blaine
| to speak, but he positively declined to say
word on the subject. 1t Is understood that
the Speaker is ut variance with the Admins
tration on this question. He agrees with
| Vice-President Wilson that there should not
have been any military interference.
| It Is understood that the subcommittee to
| investigate Louisiana affairs unite in con-
demnation of General Sheridan's order, and
they are emphatic in denials of the state.
ment that anarchy exists in New Orleans.
The only result Of the caucus was the adop.
ton of resolution authorizing the chair
man to appoint committee Of nine men,
bers to report bill on the Louisiana ques-
ton. This committee will be reported to
the caucus, which adjourned to meet on
Tuesday night.
