WARRINGTON, D: c., Nov. eo.-Thcre was M

parties met III CAUCUS this morning for tho pus-
poae Of coming to some arrangement, II possl-

In the cases Of Kellogg, Butler, and Euetts- Tho
Republicans had submitted to tho DcmocEnts

tub, and thought there WIS somo trick In the
proposition. It was suggested, in opposltion to
both Bayar.l and lli1l, that unlcss tllis propos-
tion should be accepted It might happen that
Butler would not be seated. The Democrats
have
ApPnEuBHsIoNs or 1uDGH DAvrs' voTK,
and II no should be opposed to them, even II
Conoyer and Patterson voted for butler, tho
Senate would be tied. But ho decision was
reached in either caucus, and wcarisomo debate
again began. Before adjournment was had, 1t
b .ame apparent that tho Democrats regretted
their refusal to accept tho Republican PROPOSE
tion. This information sas conveyed to the
Republicans, When II was discovered that Ed
munds could no Longer induce tho Republicans
to sgrco to tho original proposition the
Democrats lost their opportunity, and tho
whole subject Ia
AoA1N At snA.
The debato wns principally con1ned to Re-
turning Board questions and to tho Hamburg
massacre. Ben Hill returned to Ills Attack Of
yesterday, aud while assuming to bc ehiValrac
Southern gentleman, continued to speak Of
Butler as descendant Of Perry and Marion,
and OF Kellogg as "that man." A 6oLator In
private conversation stated the fallacy Of Hills
position tn IN epigrsmInatic way. lloar said:
"The issue is not what blood IL In Buffers
velns but what is upon bis hands,"
Gov. Patmes's connection With the Louisiana
affair was ngain brought to public notice. Tho
Democrats had charged that the new evidence
which they wished to produces In the Louisiana
case was that Of
SONS OFFICIAL or r11R RETURNING hoard,
who clnims to haye been . witness OF tho
alleged fraudulent manipulation Of tho Vernon
Parish returns. Even II this Hns true, tho
entire matter WAS irrcleyant to tho question OF
seating Kellogg, for tho reason that the me1n-
ber from Vernon Parish, whose election waa
claimed to have been void, was Democrat, and
was not present in tho Kellogg Legislature at
It's organization or At tho time when Ksllogg
was elected, And had hn been would have voted
