death.

SATURDAY, JANUARY q.

MORE RADICAL LEGISLATION. We learu
from the Washington Republican that at
caucus of the Radical members OF the House
of Representative, held last night, which, now
ever, was not very numerously attended, the
subject matter of the discussion was the con-
dition of affairs in the South; and We are H.
formed that the several questions were enthu-
sia.tically discussed, and nearly unanimously
advocated the only objection coming from Mr..
J. Amber Smith, of Virginia. The first prop
osition was resolution sustaining the h:lIogg
government, which, says the WasblnSlon lie
publican, met with the approval of all as
necessity which could not and should not be
avoided" Next was the bill of MIR. Wblte, OF
Alabama, ameudatory of the enforcement act
This also met with general appreciation, and
was warmly endorsed BY several of the speakers.
The third proposition, submitted by MIR. Hurl-
but. of II linois, was that, "inasmuch, as the
Democratic members of the house have made
threats that in certain events they will, during
the next Congress, refuse to make the neces-
sary appropriation for the maintenance OF the
army, that the present Congress, to prevent
the possibility of such action shall, IN accor-
dance with the terms of the Constitution, which
provides that Congress shall have power TO
raise and support armies; but no appropriation
of money for that use shall be for longer
term than two years, take advantage OF the
authority, and make the appropriation tor TWO
instead of one fiscal year." The proposition
it is said, met with great favor, and while Mr.
Hurlbut was advocating it, Mr.. Butler, OF
Massachusetts, interrupting, remarked, that :
sound doctrine, and if you Want any volunteers
in the House to support it, call on me. . Other
speeches, f4yorrng the passage Of all the acts
referred to were made, but ''as the call had
been briet and the attendance was not as large
as was desirable, the caucus adjourned until
tonight. The Washington correspondent OF
the Baltimore Sun says:-"A resolution was
introduced udorsing the President and Gen.
Sheridan for their course 10 reference to Loulsl-
ana affairs, but no vote was taken on this re-
port, all questions being postponed to an ad-
iourned caucus. 10 regard to action as to the
settlement of the Louisiana difficulties there
were two propositions discussed by the Sena-
torial caucus yesterday morning first, dis
tinct and formal recognition Of the Kellogg
government, and second, the ordering of new
election. Several Senators expressed regeet that
the Carpenter bill was not passed two years ago,
and thought that if it had been favoraby acted
on the difficulties which had now grown so
much more serious and conflicting would have
entirely disappeared. Still there was much
doubt expressed as to the propriety of now hay
ing new election, but the sentiment was over
whelming that something of definite charac-
ter must be done, and Immediately, particular

dent to withdraw the troops in case OF nom
