The republican Senators met In caucus this morn
ing and resumed their consultation after the regular
session of the Senate. The principal business was
the rearrangng OF the regular committees, so to
include the new Senators 1t is said that thero will bo
no change for the present in the presiding officer
of the Senate, ana Mr.. Ferry will remain
President pro cmporc. His colleague, Senator Chris
tancy says that there doubt that Senator Ferry
will be reelected by the Legislature of his State.
A remarkable coincidence occurred to-day at tho
swearing In OF tho now Senator'S Senator Blaine
Speaker or the House when Mr. Ferry first in
ms representative and to-day Senator Ferry presiding
officer OF tho senate in Senator Blaine.
Tho new Senators, Mcssrs. Chafec and Teller, from
Colorado were sworn in without objection. In draw
ing tor their places the threc ending 1877

and Senator Teller for 1877. The latter
wns thus the more Fortunate .

ending 1884, which the present Leg stature will MI by
tho reelection Of senator Chaffee. Mr. Blane of
Maine was also sworn for tho unexpired term OF Mr.
Morrill,.
Aprctty thorough canvass among the Senators de-
veloped tho general prevalence Of an opinion that
there was trouble ahead tho adjustment OF the poi-
ical difficulties arising out Of the Presidential election.
Senator Ransom says would require great Judgment
coolncss, patience and patriotism to cope with
the emergencies OF the hour, and that tnero
we're Just grounds to fear that ndscrcct person
would rcexesy bring crisis that would DO disas-
trous to the whole country. He thinks that in what
ever Is done Senate must slowly and cautious

AMERICAN BEEF FOR EURoPE.-Four hun.
dred head of cattle were killed at Jersey
City yesterday for shipment to Europe to-
morrow by the steamer Enghtod, Of the
National line. A large consignment was
sent last Saturday, and it is calculated that
during the ensuing winter 1000 head of
cattle will be shipped per week to the
London and Liverpool markets. Of all the
consignments hitherto made to England
only one was damaged, and that arose from
the failure of the ice supply. The expert
ment has proved compile success, and the
sale OF the meat in the English market at
a, price ten cents per pound lower than
that of English beef is so rapid that the
entire supply is bought up in one day
