WASHINGTON, Dec 10.-rhe Democratic men,
bers of the Senate met in caucus this afternoon to
receive the report Of a committee, headed by Judge
Thurman, upon the subject Of the distribution OF
the Senate patronage. After a very full inter
change of views, the report was adopted with great
unanimIty and unexpected harmoniousness OF feel
ing.
The report was to the effect that there was no
lust cause of complaint against the officers OF the
Senate for the manner in which they have acted
with regard to the caucus instructions of last
March: that the present Senate employees are de-
serving and capable, and that the instructions
which provide for the retention OF all disabled
Union soldiers and Of various other employees npon
the grounds Of special merit irrespective of politics.
should be continued III force, with one amendment
only namely. TO authorize the Sergeant-at-Arms to
appoint three additional messengers for services con-
nected with the three committees which were left IN
the control of the Republicans The effect of this
authorization will be to enable the three Republican
chairmen-Messrs. Anthony, Edmunds and Conk-
Iing-to retain in the service three old Republican
messengers. who have heretofore been borne on
merely tcmDOIary roll.
The unanimous agreement Of the caucus was
that the Democratic majority IN the Senate should
come up to the full measure of the generous treat
ment which was accorded TO them In matters OF pa
tronage by the Republicans when the Democrats
were in the minority.
The caucus meeting was wholly devoted to this
subject.
The Blyard resolution concerning grcenbacks was
not mentioned.
