CAUCUSING AROUND THE STATE
HOUSE.

Matters began Tuesday morning to assume
something of shape in the caucuses on both
sides. At She-idan's the Republicans sat with
closed doors, discussing the rumor current
that the Conservatives intended to ask for a
committee of investigation to look into the
little charges made before the courts against
2. Jones Yorke, E. w. Devices, G. W. Lowell,
j. Ross Stewart and j. S. Mathews, of the
House. These were present in consultation
at Kenners, on st. Louis street, and the
means of postponing action, if any were
taken by the Conservatives, discussed.
The indications are that the Lieutenant
Governor will give larger representation to
the Conservatives on the several committees,
but it is said the craftsmanship of the most
important ones will remain unchanged.
The Conservatives went into caucus at half.
past 10 o'clock, and several important mat
tiers were considered, among other things the
question of suspending the accused members
of the House. The motion to investigate
was carried, but the motion to suspend was

s Mr.. LEVEL took the floor and spoke about
the charges preferred against him for malfea-
sance in office, which were embraced in the
charges against members to be examined I'M
der the resolution of Mr.. Wilt. He sug-
gested that it would be proper in this con-
nection to examine the conduct of every
member of the Funding Board of 1874.
Mr.. Wilt recommended that the suggestion
of Mr.. Lowell lay over until the committee
had been appointed, and that after the COM
mittee had been appointed that the House act
on Mr.. Lowell's suggestion, and instruct the
committee how to proceed.
Mr.. Murrell called mp the following resolu-
ton, which he had offered on the day previ-
Gus:
RESOLVED, That the Speaker of the House
appoint committee Of seven on apportion-
ment, and that all bills relating to the same
be referred to said committee.
After some discussion Murrell's resolution
was laid on the table.
A motion to adjourn until IL o'clock to-day
prevailed.

RECEPTION OF HON. j. O'CONNOR
POWER. ......

The train from Mobile arrived in our city
Power on board. He was received by COM
mittee composed Of Jno. A. Gilmore, Esq,
Jno. Mccartney, Esq, and w. j. Castell, Esq.
The chairman, Mr.. Gilmore, as a welcome to
the distinguished guest, addressed him at the
st. Charles Hotel as follows:
Mr.. OConnor PO,cer-We have been deputed
by our fellow-citizens generally, but more
particularly those Of Irish birth, to greet you
on your arrival in this city, and to tender you
hearty welcome.
We understand that your visit to this
country is not alone to see its remarkable
places, to observe its physical features but
to note the causes of its unexampled growth
in population, its wealth, its progress in re-
fnement, and especially to study the work
ings of its free institutions.
The study will interest you.
From it you cannot fail to deduce the con-
clusion that the rapid growth and develop
ment of this country is due, in a large meas
ure, to that system of government under which
We have the happiness to ive-a system OF
government which secures the broadest equal
ity, consistent with refined and cultivated
social life.
Instead Of q crowned monarch, from whose
bounty flow all the honors and emoluments of
of the State, every American citizen like
Banquo's issue "wears upon his brow the
round and top of sovereignty" He is the
source OF all power and the fountain of all
honor and authority
That there is much in our manners and
customs which may strike you as susceptible
of improvement, we do not doubt; but you
must Judge us by the principles of our free
trt, md not nv, fhac 80,
tional rules of older societies.
Above all, We trust that your observations,
on this side of the Atlantic, may be sugges-
tive of benefit to Ireland when you return to
discharge your duties as one OF her repre-.
sentatives in Parliament.
Ireland is ever dear to her sons wherever
they may be. Their affections cling to her as
to mother.
1t is
Love that scorns the lapse OF time,
And ties that stretch beyond the deep.
Love which, let me say, is as consistent with
true devotion to the country Of their adoption
as affection for the mother is compatible
with love for the wife.
No grief can wiring the heart of the mother
that does not produce corresponding emo
ton in the breast of the child
When we reflect upon the trials that mo-
Their has undergone in the past, and the pa
tience and tortitude with which they were
borne, we feel that we are entitled to share in
the glory of her triumph.
Accept, then, sir, this welcome to our city,
and with it our expression Of love for the
country you represent.
Mr.. Power responded, and was then intro
duced to large delegation Of citizens. After
an interchange of civilities, Mr.. Power re-
! tired.

The House..

Speaker Estilette called the House to order
at noon; SO mem bers, a quorum, present.
At the suggestion of Hon. L. A. Witt, the
doors were opened and the public admitted
to the lobby
RLR Ray took the floor on a question of
privilege, and said that at the last session
charges of bribery had been preferred against
him and other members, and these charges
had been Investigated by committee of
three, which committee reported that there
was no foundation for the charges. Since
that time the Attorney General had filed an
information against these parties, himself in
cluded, and he asked that committee be
appointed to investigate these charges.
Hon. l.. A. Wilt made the point of order
that the gentleman had risen to question of
privilege, and could not make motion.
Ray said I am not making motion, am
making request.
Hon. NJ Hahn took the floor, said he had
q resolution to introduce, which he sent to
the clerk desk.
At the same time Mr.. Witt being recog-
nized also sent resolution to the clerks
desk.
Mr.. Hahn called on the Clerk to read his
resolution.
Mr. Witt made the point that, until the
minutes were disposed of, no motion was in
order.
The Speaker sustained the point.
Some di .cussion as to the minutes fol-
lowed, which was brought to close by a
motion of Mr. Wilt, which prevailed, to post
pone the subject matter until tomorrow.
Mr.. Wilt called mp his resolution, and it
was read, as follows:
Whereas in the Superior Criminal Court
for the parish of Orleans there are now pend
ing informations against Charles W. Lowell,
for misdemeanor in office, against James L.
Matthews, P. Jones Yorke j. 4. Stewart, E.
W. Devices, Milton Jones, j. B. Jourdain, j.
E. Parker, r. r. Ray, for accepting brides,
all members of this House; aud
Whereas, said offenses are charged to have
been committed in connection with their
duties as members of the House of Represen-
tatives in the discharge of their official duties
thereof,
Be it Resolved. That the Speaker of the
House shall appoint committee OF i've to
examine, investigate and inquire into said
charges, with full power to sit at such places
and at such times as to them may seem
proper, and that said committee shall have
full power to send for papers and persons and
to use the compulsory process OF this House to
compel the presence and production OF the
same, and after due proceedings had to make
report to the House thereof, together with
recommendations and such action as they
may deem proper in the premises.
Mr.. Hahn called up his resolution and
offered it as substitute. His resolution was
in substance the same as that offered by Mr..
Wilt, but it only required the investigation
Of the charges against Messrs. Jourdain, Par
ker, Ray and Jones.
Mr.. Dumas raised the point of order that
no resolution could be entertained at the
present time without suspension of the rules.
| The point was declared we'll taken, and q
| motion was made to suspend the rules.

CHANGES IN THE CABINET,

Monday Witnessed very sudden and
unexpected changes in the Cabinet.
Edwards Pierrepont, Attorney General,
was nominated Minister to England :;
Aiphonso Taft, Secretary of War, was
nominated for Acknowledgement and
j. Donald Cameron, of Pennsylvania, a
son of Senator Cameron from that state
was nominated for Secretary of War.
These nominations were all confirmed
within an hour from the time at which
they were sent in. Whether this rapid
work on the part of TIE Senate had any
connection with the fact that Gamer
on's son was one. of the nominees we
will not attempt to say but looks very
much that way, when one remembers
how long some good nominations have
hung In the Senate.
The appointment of Mr.. Pierrepont as
Minister to England will be generally
received with appreciation. He is a
man of integrity and OF fine abilities. is
good lawyer, possesses the bearing of
gentleman, and viii, we think, prove
worthy representative of American in
situations. He is probably inferior in
some respects to Dana, whom the Senate
rejected, but is vastly superior to
Schenck in general qualifications for di-
plomatic service to say nothing of his
superiority in the matter of public es-
timation.
Judge Taft, though little known in
public life prior to his appointment to
the position of Secretary of War, has
made favorable impression, and is ac-
counted an able and incorruptibIe man.
and lawyer of wide experience, and
thoroughly informed in the various
branches of his profession. He will he
more at home in the Attorney Generals
Office than in the War Department. and
we predict, viii administer its affairs in
a very satisfactory manner.
OF j. Donald Cameron yery little ia
generally known.

the Gulf and Southwestern States ND to
the hardy conifer@ of Maine end the
Northwest there is not tree of impor-
lance which is not here represented.
The patience of the curious is soraly
taxed in counting therings of old stagers
that had reached the heyday of their
growth two hundred years before Col
umbus first saw Guanahani, and of some
that had doubtless sheltered weary abOr-
igines while Louis of France was bat
thing for the cross in Palestine. Most
of these interesting specimens were OBJ
tanned from the Sierra Nevada Noun
tains in California. The principle OF
those of which accurate statistics can be
given are as follows One of the sugar
pine, It's feet high and 81 feet in circum-
ference at the base, and 5S8 years old,
the section having been made at q
diameter of 7 feet inches one of q
soft, white pine, 100 feet high, % feet
in circumference at tho base, and $40
years old, the section having been made
at diameter of 6 feet inches, and one
Of red silver fir, 1852 feet high, 80 feet in
diameter at the base, tapering for one
hundred feet before the first branch was
reached, and 392 years old. ALI these
grew on the Sierra Nevada. There is
also one of twisted pine from the
Rocky Mountains, 1913 feet high, % feet
in diameter at the base and 297 years
old. A curious exhibit for most folks
in the Middle States is that of the many
varieties of native oak and the remark
able want of resemblance among them
in regard to foliage, the tan bark oak of
California, for instance, having velvety,
willowsLaped leaves, while those of the
black jack oak of the Southern Atlantic
States are bell shaped. In the grain Of
the wood, also, the same wide divergency
exists. While the canon live oak of
the Southwest has a smooth bark and
fine grain, the post-oak of this region
is rugged bott in bark and grain.
The annual meeting of the Centennial
Commission occurs shortly, when new
officers and new executive board is to
be elected. It is already whispered hat
the reelection of General Hawley to the
Presidency is in doubt. Some little diff
ferences exist which have given rise to
this suspicion, and the name of Orestes
Cleveland, first President, is men
toned by those who oppose General
Hawley. The question of opening the
grounds on Sundays is being vigorously
agitated, and a strong movement in IA
vor of it is headed by eminent clergy
men.
