Perjured Witness-Stalwart Republicans
Chicago, April 9.-The Inter Ocean's
Washington special says: Zone of the
witnesses who testified before the Wal
lace committee in Philadelphia, last
week, of republican corruption, has
since been indicted for perjury, COM
mited while testifying in a case in
court.
Senator Hamlin in speaking of the
activity and earnestness of the republi-
cans in the white house, in the cabinet,
and in congress, in opposing the revolu-
tionary proceedings of the democrats,
remarked to-day, that the liberal re-
publicans had become so stalwart with
in the last few weeks that he, who had
been at the head and front of the stall
wart republicans when such position
was not popular, was left behind, and,
although standing exactly where he al
ways had been, was now ranked as a
conservative.

The Fitz John Porter Case

Washington, April 9.-The president
and secretary of war have not yet de-
cided what to do with the result in the
Porter case, but will probably send it to
congress without recommendation. This
is all Senator Randolph, who is Porter's
representative here, asks. Randolph is
chairman Of the military committee of
the senate, and he thinks he can secure
action upon it favorable to Porter if he
can once get the matter before the SEN
ate. As Porter is democrat and most
of his friends are democrats, he will be
better treated than he would have been
by republican congress. Garfield was
a member of the court martial that
originally tried Porter, and pronounced
upon him the sentence from which he
now wants to be relieved.

Washington, April 9.-It is expected
that the senate will dispose of the New
Hampshire senatorial case at an early
hour tomorrow afternoon, and that
long looked for debate on the political
questions involved in the army appro-
priation bill will commence almost i'm
mediately afterwards. Withers and
Wallace will probably be the first two
speakers, and Blaine is to follow them.
The senate is likely to be engaged in
debate throughout both Friday and
Saturday. A greater or less number of
financial measures will be passed by
the house during the present session.
but the chances that such bills will re-
ceive action in the senate, or that any
initiation measures passed by both
branches of congress will be approved
by the president are as yet very incon-
siderable.

London. April 9.-Additional ad-
vices from Cape Town about the disas-
ter to the British convoy on the In
tome river, March 18th, reports besides
the troops it is thought forty wagon
drivers and followers were killed.
Twenty-Five Zulus' corpses were found
on the field of battle and it is believed
forty more were drowned. The Zulus
had ample time to get news of the con-
voy, as it was delayed at the ford three
days by heavy rains. The ford was
only four miles from Luneberg. 1t is
thought there was great carelessness in
the selection of the position of the
camp and neglecting to send larger
force from Luneberg to meet the con-
voy. Col. Pearson's signals from
Ekowe can be held ten days longer. His
provisions only are short. He has
plenty of ammunition. Scouts report
that the Zulus are concentrated in
masses eleven miles north of the Tuge-
lar river. They are in Derse jungle,
80 their numbers are unascertainable.

A Democratic Caucus.

Washington, April "a brief dem
ocratic caucus was held Immediately
after adjournment to-day, for the pur-
pose of taking some action which would
permit the introduction and considera-
tion Of certain, financial measures dur
ing the present session. A representa-
tive of the house presided. Kenna
submitted the following, which was
adopted unanimously:
ReSolced, That it is the judgment of
this caucus that the house shall not
adjourn over on Monday next, but that
there should be session on that day
to allow of the introduction of bills
in the usual manner, and the placing
of important legislation in the line of
progress without unnecessary delay.
Stephens then offered resolution,
with the request that it be read and
laid on the table for action at future
caucus. The resolution sets forth that
the objects aud aims of the democracy
are directed with singleness of pur-
pose to the restoration of constitutional
liberty, and with it the restoration of
peace, harmony and prosperity through
out the land.
1t further accepts the legitimate re-
suits of the late war, opposes the re-
vival of slavery, pledges the party to
the union of the states, and promises
faithful adherence to the constitution
with all its amendments, as expounded
by the supreme court. 1t counsels
looking for redress of grievances to;
first, the law making power; second,
law expounding power; third, the law
executing power, and finally ultimate
sovereign power of the ballot box. The
resolution opposes large standing
army, but favors one large enough to
repel invasion and defend our extensive
frontier, as well as ale necessary inte-
rior forts and garrisons, and to enable
the president to put down domestic
violence or insurrection in any of tine
states, apd in aid of civil officers, as a
posse comitatus in the execution of
legal processes.
1t opposes, however, the use of troops
at the polls, and advocates the maj
tenance of public credit in violate;
opposes increase of the bonded debt;
favors retrenchment and the lessening
of taxation; advocates reviving lang

A Careful Review of the Presidential Out

New York, April 9.-The Times has
an article thirty-three columns in length
giving views from every state in the
union on the political situation, where
in it is proved that the republicans first
choice for the next president is Grant,
and that democrats will be compelled
to accept Tilden. The Times takes 1t
for granted that the action of congress
has made a tremendous difference in
favor of Grant. Briefly stated the re-
suit of the inquiries is that Grant is a
candidate favored by an overwhelming
majority of the republican party, and
that Tilden is the deliberate choice of
a majority of the democratic party.

New York. April 9.-The Tribune
to-day says: "The Tilden wave is
booming like a cataract in spite of the

when Seymour nipped the absurd Tam
many-Belmont conspiracy in the bud
by declaring in advance of the COM
mittee's visit, that he would have
nothing to do with them, and would
not be candidate for governor under
any circumstances. This was great
gain for Tilden, but the news from the
elections in Ohio and Michigan was
greater, for in those states the western
idea of winning success by uniting the
democrats and nationals was tried, and
the result was disastrous failure. OF
course this demonstrates more clearly
than ever the hopelessness of democrat
ic success without New York, and
there is consequently sharp rise in
Tilden stock at once. '-------------

steps were taken against them to compel
them to do so. Judge Eure granted to

its decision, declaring that there is no power
