masters, who see profit In effecting heavy
sales. Prior TO Wednesday last there was
one postmaster whose bond was $4,000;
others ranging from $1,000 to $4,000, and few
as high as $4,000 or S15.0oo. On that day the
Baltimore postmaster gave bond for S25OOO
Yesterday the Chicago. postmaster filed a
bond for $50 600. Harrisburg increases from
5000 TO $4,000; Trenton, n. j., from $4,000 to

THE BILL FRAMED BY THE DEMOCRATIC
CAUCUS COMMITTEE
The Democratic caucus was In session to-
day for nearly two hours. They still decline
TO say exactly what was done, although 1t
was admitted that d conclusion was reached
in part. Tt is believed that they have agreed
to report bill which embraces the political
features Of the army bill as a separate propo-
sition, but some members insist on pre-
amble which gives political expression Of
opinion.
A discussion ensued as to what the title OF
the bill should be, One suggestion was "a bill
to prevent the use OF the army at polls,
and to promote the freedom of cleo
tions !" another suggestion was TO
prevent the control of elections in
the States by the army and navy OF the
United States" Another is "to prevent the
army and navy from interfering with the
freedom OF elections and yet another, "to
protect the ballot-box from military interfer-
ence.,' None. OF these suggestions were
committee Of the caucus. That a bill has
been framed there is not much doubt. It en-
braces the Objectionable clauses OF the army
bill, and will probably be offered on Monday
and referred to the Judiciary Committee but
as there was difference of opinion in the
caucus, the members are not to be bound by
1t, but are to be permitted to offer amend
ments when 1t shall be reported back.
