WASHINGTON, June 13.-The Democratic
senators held caucus this morning, at
which the debate in regard to the Warner
silver billswas very excited, and the feeling
that prevailed will be understood when
state that Mr.. Bayard has written his resig-
nation as chairman OF the Finance Commit
tee. II has been determined that the Dem
ocratic silver.senators will on Monday GER
tainly make an earnest effort in behalf OF
this bill, and they expect, know, to get it
up. 1t was developed to-day that not more
than eight or nine Democratic senators are
tors held caucus this morning also, when
it was ascertaiDed that two thirds of them
were in favor Of Sighting the appropriation
bills. These two thirds are stalwarts who
follow Conkling and Chandler, and are for
Grant. Their programme is to gain
time, so as by persuasion or threats
to induce Mr.. Hayes to change his
present purpose, and veto the appropriation
bills. The House Republicans, on the other
hand, under Garfe'd's leadership, are over
whelmingly for Sherman, and not only
voted for the army and legislative bills, but
are anxious for Mr.. Hayes to sign them.
So, it will be seen, because OF this Grant
Sherman war, appropriations for tue army
and the departments OF the Government are
counted of little moment, and the GRANTEES,
by their conduct, seem ready to say, Let
them starYe. Who's afraid ?' When the
legislative bill came UP the plan Of the stall
warts was at once laid bare, for. Mr.. Win.
dom moved to recommit the bill, and Mr..
Blaine declared that any man at all skilled
in framing appropriation bills could drive 9
six-horse team through any part OF in
Conkling smiled superciiously as Senator
Davis,oi West Virginia, proceeded 10 defend
it. The debate, which was past understand
ing, was continued by Messrs. Blaine, Ali
son, Kirkwood, Window, Beck, Davis, anG
Others. 1t was evident at every step that {
more clumsy and uninteiigible appropria
ton bill never was before reported to Con
gress, and Mr. Beck, at the instance o!
members of the House committee, had Il
otter several amendments to correct error:
they had discovered in it after its passage.
MR. BECK's SUBSTITUTE.
Democratic senators regarded the intro
ducton by Mr.. Beck OF q substitute for the
bill, noticed in my dispatch last night, az
very unfortunate under the circumstances,
and were willing to take the House bill, as
clumsy as it is, in order to get through with
it without further delay. There was con.
test between Democratic senators and rep.
resentatives at the outset about the form Of
the bill, but it was settled by the joint eau.
Gus. The senators wanted the bill vetoed
by the President with the omission Of the
political clauses, while the representatives
contended for last years bill with the call.
Gus notifications; and the latter view pre-.
varied.
Finally, after half-past S, the Legislative
bill as amended, to the surprise OF the gal
leries, passed, the Republicans failing 10
vote for it. Tonight there is a report that
the President, because of objections urged
against it in debate to-day, will veto it.
The Republicans will make big fight
against the judicial bill tomorrow because
of its political sections, and now think its
veto will result in another called session,
but not right away, perhaps. They will
vote against the army bill, but do not in
tend to speak against it further than to put
their, opposition on the record. These
opinions are based upon information OBJ
tanned late tonight from high Republican
sources.
CoRBIN AND THE UTAH JrDGEsH1P.
The attention Of Democratic senators has
been called to-day to Corbin's case. Now,
while the President and everybody else must
know that he can never be confirmed, yet
il the committee fails to act on his case be-
fore adjournment he will 60 to Utah as
Judge. By the way. Hon. James B. Sener,
OF Virginia, is proposed for the position,
and could not be more strongly backed than
be is. In fact. ms leading Republican re-
marked to-day, il he does not getit, it Will
be useless for native southern Republicans
to expect anything at the hands OF the Adj
ministration in future. Mr.. Hayes just
now, however, is more favoraby disposed
to the South than he has been this session,
for reasons which these dispatches explain.
KELLoGG's FRIENDS MAKE UGLY DISCLOSURES
Connaught, ruddy Radical from Phia
deiphia, stated in his evidence to-day in The
hellogg.Spoford case that he was sent Il
Louisiana from Philadelphia, and appointed
by Kellogg superintendent OF registration
in Red-Rirer parish, and after doing hi.
work and sending two Kellogg members TO
the Packard Legislature he returned to
Philadelphia. Then came Mr.. Glover,
stump-speaker Of decided gifts, who ac'
knowledged in cross-eNaminution that hi
was member Of the Mississippi Legislature
and was sent rs supervisor OF registration
to Baton Rouge. Subsequently he went 10
New Orleans, and ten days after signing the
returns be changed them in the custom
house so rs to send Kellogg men to The
