CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUsEs

1he Policy of the Parties or the Southern
Question as Outlined ty the Several Com
JereGces.
Washington Special (Dec. 81 to Chicago Times.
The caucus this morning was largely in
huenced by Senator Wallace, its chairman. He
desires to wreck Tilden beyond all hope of
resurrection, and so is in favor of an investi-
cation of the cipher dispatches, and it vas
agreed in the caucus this morning that no OPP
position should be made to any proposition
looking to that end from whatever source it
may come. In regard to the Blaine resolutions
looking to the investigation OF the Southern
elections by the judiciary committee,
it was agreed that no opposition should be
made to this, if an amendment should be al
lowed to go in with it, providing that the inves-
tigation should be permitted to include the
Northern States The Republicans will not
make any opposition to this; it is pretty
clear that an investigation of the elections in
both sections will be had The Req ublcans
say, too, that if the Democrats do not oppose
or debate Blaine's resolution, they will not
care to do much talking. The Democrats have
agreed to say nothing unless forced to do So.
Iii generally believed that Blame will be able
to call out Ben Hill, Us the latter
has already indicated desire to op-
pose Blaine's resolution The Republican Sen

to stand up solid with Blaine in his attempt to
provoke debate with the solid South. and
! they also selected their committees for this
session, making no changes whatever. They
also indicated an intention of changing Blaine's
resolution so that a special committee,
instead Of the judiciary committee, conduct
the investigation. The Southern members
are very quiet. They say that all they ask is t.
keep their Northern Democratic friends from
rushing so imprudently to their rescue. Ont
of the leading Senators of the South said to
day that he was in favor Of giving the depart
ment of justice all the extra money that i
asked. to court investigation and ever,
possible means to avoid partisan debate. Til,
immense superiority OF position. and they ar
rather disposed to force the fighting.

What the Investigation IL Doing.
From the New York Nation,

From the New York Nation,l
II may be said Of all the oral evl.
dence taken yet IN the Louisiana lnyes
tigation that ii is untrustwOrlly.
Anderson was not credible on oath ;
neither is Captain jerks, nor his IN
trrcsting wife, Mrs, Agnes ID. jerks,
nor Congressman Darrall.
Neither will the cstimable Kellogg
be, when he comes to be examined,
nor Packard, nor Pinchbacd, nor any
Of them.
Nobody Of any party seriously be-
Iieves nor has believed or would be-
Iieve II word they say. When jerks
contradicts Anderson, but admits that
he has long been his intimate friend, 1t
makes one laugh. Aud 50 when Mrs.
jerks says she wrote the so called
Sherman letter, VIC are still in as much
doubt AS ever whether any such q let
ter was ever in existence.
No rational person spends n minute
trying to reconcile their stories.
II they had produced no documents
the time spent on them would have
been wholly wasted.
What the Investigation is doing is
not fastening guilt upon any person
not hitherto suspected, or revealing
any flaw in the Presidents title, but
letting the world know what kind OF
people they were who had charge OF
the State Government and worked the
political machine in Louisiana from
1868 to last year. TO say that their
manners and morals, and the stories
they tell Of each other, read like a chap
ter Of jailyard gossip, and that every
one of them ought TO be in the pcni
Tertiary, is putting the case mildly. /.
Is no cXaggeration TO say that it was
an awful thing to have left the govern
meut Of a civilized community in such
80 long, and lamentahIe and
alarming that the scamps should have
been able to palm themselves off SO
long as good men OF the North and
friends Of the black man.

For administrative ability no less than
practical school-room work, the Board are
confident that the Faculty they present 10

have no superiors rs experienced and en-
ergetic workers. and with no little pride
promise a school that Is demanded by the
age and adapted to the wants OF our peo-
pie. A BETTER SCHOOL ~ VI oRJEcr.
The Board would add that no d.
has been spared to make che building, in
NIL its arrangements, a model school,
