| ANOTHER BLOW AIMED At THE GREESBACEERS.
When Mr.. Vance moved 10 adjourn this
| afternoon, Mr.. HErd moved 10 adjourn un-
! til Tuesday. and this was intended to pre-
| vent the Greenbackers from having show
on Monday. The ayes and noes were de-
man ded, and the House determined to have
4 Mondays session-ayes, 105; noes. 1OS.
| The Democrats, with few exceptions,
voted No." and the Republicans AYE"
The Grecnbackers applauded when the re-
suit was announced. The Republicans were
SO veXed that they voted against adjourn
meut and then demanded the ayes and noes.
The roll was called, and they found that the
scattering Democrats, except Mr.. Uurd,
who voted with them before were not in
c:ined 10 repeat the indiscrction. So the
motion to adjourn was carried, and the
Greenbackcrs left the hall smiling that at
last they were to have chance to launch
their financial bark on the sea OF congress
sional legislation.
| MONDAYS PROGRAMME.
There is great deal of tnlk tonight in
regard to the programme Monday, and it is
positively stated tina. the Republicans mean
to fibustcr so as to consume the morning
hour and prevent tie Greenbackers from
getting in their financial bills. These dila-
tory motions, which they can easily make
with roIl-call on each, would exhaust the
morning hour, and after that it will require
Il two-thiltls vote to suspend the rules
SO as to introduce bills. Now. whether
the rumor is true or not that when
Maine, the first State on the roll, is called,
Frye is to be recognized, and will intro
ducc lengthy bill, such as Bllrnside'> army
bill, it does not affect the result. because il
Green backer-Murch or Ladd-is rccog-
nized the Republicans have only to agree TO
tiIibuSte- in order to prevent the introduce
ton OF bills and utterly thwart any arrange
ments of the Democrats and Greenbackers.
REPUBLICAN Caucus.
The Republican senators held caucus to-
day and INDUCED in n long pow-wow about
The emigration Of negroes from the south
crn States. There were rehcarscd narrowing
narratives of alleged outIages nracticed on
the colored people, who were fleeing from
persecution and death. Some senators re-
lated IN thrilling terms accounts setting
forth alleged occurrences where white men
lined the banks Of 4 southern river
and with shot-guns put to death divers
colored people to prevent their leaving Tor
Kansas aud other parts. 1t was concluded
by the caucus that these tales would do
good service in firing the northern hearts,
and that this use should be made OF them
by the Republican rreSS; and in order 10
bring the matter more prominently before
the North it was decided to move at an
early day for special Senate committee to
INQUIRE into the alleged causes OF the emf
grafton in question, the object OF such mo-
~, RI H1r
for bloody-shlrt speeches in the Sem
ate. 1t is every day being developed moe
clearly that some Republican leaders are
not only instigatug and aiding the existing
negro exodus from some parts ct the South,
but they propose making The movement the
subject OF partisan appeal 10 the North in
luriherance of sectional hatred. This is to
Dc q part OF the Republican campaign ma
