WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-An
adjourned caucus eff Democratic
Senators was held. in the Senate
Chamber this afternoon for the pur-
pose of receiving the report of the
Committee of Nine appointed by
the caucus of Saturday to prepare
the Democratic membership of the
standing committees. The COM
mittee announced that the work as
signed to them was unfinished and
it was resolved to extend their time
until tomorrow afternoon immedi-
ately after the adjournment of the
Senate. Some discussion occurred
with regard to the advisability of
proceeding to nominate and ballot
for the officers of the Senate.
1t was generally conceded that
there was no need for haste in dis,
posing of that subject, and it was
therefore agreed to postpone its
consideration until Thursday next.
Senator Beck offered resolution
providing in substance that the
legislative business of the Senate
during the extra session shall be
confined to the passage of the an
nual appropriation bills which failed
of enactment last session, inclu-
ding the political measures that
were incorporated il them by the
House of Repre- sentatiyes, VIZ: the
repeal of the Federal election laws
and of the jurors test oath and
the prohibition against the presence
Of troops at the polls.
After some discussion, this reso~
luton and the general subject of the
order of business, were referred to
the following committee with il
struclons to report to the caucus
tomorrow, or as soon thereafter as
practicable MessrS. Thurman,
Salisbury, Whyte, Herman, Jones,
ofFlorida, Bailey, Lamar, Voorhees,
and Vance. All the Democratic
Senators were present at to-day's
caucus, except Messrs. Gordon,
Maxey and Hampton. Mr.. Gordon
is ill, and Mr.. Maxey is expected
to arrive from Texas tonight, and
General Hampton has not yet left
South Carolina.
The case of Oliver VS.. Cameron
was called in the Circuit Court to-
day, and Mrs. Oliver testified, Civ
ing statements already generally
published as to her relations with
the ex-senator. Without conclud>
ing her testimony, the Court ad-
iourned until tomorrow.
In the Democratic caucus to-
night, the first ballot for Speaker +,
as follows: Randall, 70;
Blackburn, 81; McMahon, 3; Nor
rison, 2; Cox, 4. This insures the
nomination of Mr.. Randall Tor
Speaker of the 10th Congress on
the first ballot.

FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, March 17.-The La
hore correspondent of the Times
telegraphs that sufficient rain has
fallen throughout that province to
insure the safety of the spring
harvest, thereby entirely altering
the financial and political aspect of
the situation and affecting even the
the military by facilitating a supply
of grain and forage.
The Times Calcutta dispatch
says, the Chief Commissioner for
British Burmah now has a sufficient
force to protect British territory,
but the position Of the resident and
other Europeans at Mandelay is
critical in the extreme. The best
hope for their safety rests on the
belief that the King and his adYi-
sers are not so utterly lost to all
sense of prudence as to precipitate
their own downfall by rushing into
hostilities.
The story published on the 10th
that Col. Pearson had been attacked
at Ekowe by large force of Zulus
and that the latter were defeated
with enormous loss, is utterly false.
1t was probably circulated by the
Zulus in order to delay the dispatch
of assistance to Ekowe. The
Orange Free State Government has
refused to aid or permit its citizens
to aid the British against the Zulus
on constitutional grounds.
The Paris correspondent Of the
Daily NeVs says: ''It is univer-
sally believed that NJ. Waddington
can not remain Premier, and it is
that he will will consent
to remain in the Ministry in any
lower capacity. NJ. Fourmier is
mentioned as his successor. NJ.
Leon Say must certainly resign"

Clothing for tne Policemen.

Mr.. EDITOR: At the last meeting
of the Board of Aldermen, a resolu-
ton was offered to furnish the police
with new suits Of clothes. This resolu- :
ton was referred to a committee. We
hope the committee will report against
any such expenditure OF public
monies. At the time of electing these
policemen, no such stipulation was
made to furnish them with clothing,
which will not cost less than $500.
Add this to the recent increase Of
Mayor salary, and we would have
an additional debt of $500, not con-
contemplated or provided for at cur
last election. Until we can pay the
back interest on our bonds, and meet
our current expenses promptly, it is
hardly worth while 10 incur this ad-
ditional expense. CITIZEN.

have congressional aspirations. Gen.
Dibrell it will be remembered favored
the recent N-i proposition and some of
his Democratic friends are sore over it.
They say lie was paid by the railroads
to speak In favor ats the compromise.
But the general need have no fears OF
his success because he OWNS all the
Democratic chairmcn of tlW different
counties-got their sons into positions
and OF course they will "work"
things for him. Then his party would
vote for him If he was a dog if W was

The full ticket nominated by the
Republican State Convention is as
follows: For Governor, A. B. Cor
nell; for lieutenant Governor, Geo.

%troller, James w. Wadsworth, of Liv-
ingston; for Secretary of State, Gen.
Jos. 3. Cav, of Rensselaer,; for State
Treasurer, Nathan d. Wendell, of AL
bany.
The platform adopted pledges the
party to national supremacy, equal
right, free elections and honest mon
ey. 1t declares that this republic is
a nation, not a league, and pronoun-
ces for Irrational supremacy in nation
al affairs and state rights in state
concerns" 1t accuses the Democrat
il pArty in Congress of q revolution
and notification in refusing to vote
supplies. 1t denounces their efforts
to render the federal election laws In
operative, and thanks the President
for his veto messages. 1t declares
that the Republican party does not
justify military interference with cleo
tions, but does insist that the
polls shall be protected from armed
rifle clubs, and the ballot be free. It
denounces the Democratic party for
forcing an extra session of Congress
without warrant or excuse; for fur
thering its plans by revolutionary
methods; for obstructing resumption
and for rcopening sectional questions
closed by the war. II congratulates
the Republican party upon resump-
ton MS the browning triumph Of its
policy, aud maintains that
currency should be kept at por with
the standard of the commercial world.
The remainder Of the platform is talk
en- up with local questions of taxa
ton, canal reform, and regulation Of
corporations.

Knoxville Chronicle: In speaking
of the sensational report, there is one
steal that Is Il steal, that the Democrat
ic newspapers and stump speakers say
nothing about. The land upon which
the new building Cor the Bureau OF
Printing aud Engraving is built has in
times past been valued at 1854 and
taxes have been paid OH It for that
amount. The large sum of $25,53G was
paid for II, however, or nearly three
times its value, and tie Committee OF

The Minnesota Republicans

The State Convention Of MINES
sofa nominated Gov. Pillsbury for re.
election and adopted the following
platform:
/. We adhere to the platform of
principles adopted by the last conven
ton of the Republican party of the
United States at Cincinnati. The
eminent success which has attended
the resumption of specie payment,
and the refunding of the public debt
at a more favorable rate of interest
than has ever before been obtained BY
the Government, vindicates the hope
and enlightened financial policy which
has steadily been adhered to by the
Republican party. We cheerfully
acknowledge the fidelity and ability
with which the finances have been
conducted by the present administra.
ton, and especially commend the
course Of the President in firmly exer-
cising his veto power to uphold the
safeguards of the ballot.box
2, We desire to cultivate feelings of
good neighborhood with our fellow
citizens of the Southern States; and
rely much upon c%onciliatory treat
ment and mutually friendly inter-
course TO produce those good relations
which in all respects would prove ben
efcial. At the same time we de-
mand that every constitutional meaus
be extended to maintain that liberty
and security Throughout the South
which all citizens are entitled to I'M
der the Government.
3. We adhere to the advanced posi-
ton heretofore taken by the Repub-
lican party in favor of civil service re-
form. A true reform of the civil seq
vice should. among other benefits,
lead TO q reduction in the number Of
Offices and promote economy. Any
measure Of civil service reform, in or
der to be effective, should be put in
to the form Of law and not to be left
subject to amendment by mere cxecu-
Tive authority.
