perpetuation and maintenance of Republican
power and principle; on the contrary, it was
bis expectation and belief that the pursuance
of this policy would promote coalition of the
old Wing and various other elements natur-
ally opposed to the Democratic party in the
South, and eventually secure six or eight
Southern States for the Republicans. All the
Senators who we're present at the interview,
expressed themselves to the caucus as being
convinced that the President was thoroughly
sincere in this belief. They also reported
that the President said he was very desirous to
be in harmony with the leaders of the party,
and was grati6ed to have had the opportunity
Of ascertaining thus definitely and clearly the
views which had been expressed in the caucus
Advice and candid criticism would always be
welcome to him, and in closing he said he
hoped and believed that there would be less
cause for complaint in the future, and in any
event if there should be differences of opinion,
there nc,d be no occasion for i'll feeling, and
he trusted there would be none After the
reports, of which the foregoing statement is
correct, though brief summary, had been made
to the caucus, free discussion ensued as to
the propriety and probable effects of the Pres.
ident's policy in case it should be acquiesced
in by the Senate The interchange of views
developed almost the unanimous opinion that
the policy of appointing Democrats to office
in the South is not wise or sound, and even
those Senators who are most distinctly known
as friends of the administration, expressed
doubts as to whether its pursuance would
have the effect of which the President is san.
guine.
No action was taken by the caucus, and
none was proposed. Nothing was said about
the contested senatorial election cases from
Louisiana and South Carolina. The questions
involved in these contests for seats in the Sen.
ate seem to be generally considered as purely
judicial in their nature, and therefore outside
the control of the caucus.

he desired no definite action until after the Ju-
dietary committee had reported.
Mr.. Wood and Mr.. Stephens said it was ques
ton of the highest privilege, and they hoped that
the resolution would be adopted unanimously.
Mr. Hamilton said that the committee on elec-
tions could determine the question, as the case
was before that committee on the prlma 1acle
case Mr. Butler said that was very different
case The resolution was then adopted.
The consideration of the bill for the repeal
of the resumption act was resumed and dis
cussed by Bell and FELTON,, of Georgia, Da-
Wis and Steele, of North Carolina, and Rea-
gan, of Texas, in favor of repeal, and BY
Chittenden, Bacon and Townsend, of New
York, and Hardenburg, Of New Jersey,
against it. A resolution for final adjourn
ment of this session on the 22nd instant, was
reported from the committee on ways and
means, but it was not deemed advisable to
take action on it at present.
In the Senate on the 18th, Dawes, of Mas

five National Banks Of the city of Boston,
against the passage of the House bill for the
reconciliation of silver. The petitioners set
forth that they are required by law to hold,
and do possess many millions of dollars worth
Of bonds of the United States, and they are
apprehensive that the passage of the bill Will
greatly depreeiate the value of such bonds
and have bad influence on business through

WAsHIseros, Sept. 3O.-Is appesrs
from an official account of Osman Pa
sha's career, that he begun his studies IN.
der the care Of his brother, the late Hus-
sein, Professor OF Arabic in the Prepar-
atory School at Constantinople. Young
Osman next entered the Military School,
which, after brilliant examination, he
left with the rank Of lieutenant. He en-
tered the army in 1853, about the begin
ming Of the Crimean war. He had sea. ce-
ly donned his uniform, when with some
of his schoolmates, he was appointed on
the staff at Shumla. On the battle field,
as we'll as az the school desk, Osman at
tracted the attention Of his chiefs for bis
coolness and military capacity, and he
soon rose to the rank Of adjutant. After
his gallant conduct before Qaitehar, and
in reward for his eminent services in the
war against Servis, the Sultan raised him
to the rank of marshal. Osman Pasha
is still young. His victories at Plevna
have given him great fame in Turkey.

STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION.
STEAMER COMFORTS 8LOWN UP
At PfPE CREEK. 81

(from the Wheeling 1ntelligeuesr, 4th instl
Several OF the crew Of the illsfated
steamer Comfort came up on the Tenn
pest Yesterday, and from them we OBJ.
tanned additional particulars Of the dis.
aster. When they left the scene of the
explosion only one body. that of old
man Suppes, Of Cameron, Ohio, had
been recovered. Suppes owned mill
at Cameron, and had been up to the city
TO get some money with which to i'm
prove his property. He was probably
65 years Of age, and was we'll known in
this vicinity.
~ With~the exception Of John Land
messer, who is lying OF the, house Of a
man named Hendershot, on the bsnk Of
the river, near where the explosion oc-
Cured, the wounded have been taken to
Moundsville, and are in the hotels there
All are being properly cared for, the Cit
izens doing all in their power to make
them comfortable.
Andy Harrison, mate Of the steamer
Courier, was a passenger on the Com
fort, and was on his way to bis home at
Belpre, Ohio. His injuries are consid-
cred quite serious. His srms and breast
were badly scalded, and he received an
ugly cut under the chin, and complains
much OF internal injuries. John Kraft,
the cook Of the Courier, who was going
to his home at Matar,oras, was slightly
scalded about the face. John Landmes
ser, {the bar keeper of the Courier, who
resides on 11th street, 10 this city, was
going home with Kraft to spend a week
in, fishing and hunting, Landmesser's
injuries, It is feared, will prove fatal He
was severely cut about the head, his
breast was crushed in, and piece OF
wood about 4 inches in length, II inches
in thickness and three inches across, was
taken from the calf of bis leg, clotted
with blood, having been driven into the
leg several inches. John Ferrier, the
mail agent, sustained slight injuries. All
the mail bags were saved except one,the
largest, which was torn open and the
contents scattered about in all directions.
A number OF letters we're found hoating
on the water and saved. Henry Yoho
Of Fish Creek, a passenger, had one leg
broken and his face badly scalded.-
Charles Winger was cut on the face and
hand. Rev. John Bier, Of Pittsburgh,
and son, we're scalded, but their injuries
are not considered serious. Several
others, whose names were given in our
report Of yesterday, sustained slight in.
