WASHINGTON. March IS.
1t is generally conceded that the attempt of
several Republican Senators to make party cap
ital out of the displacement of the principal
officers of the Senate to-day was not very sue
cessful, 1t being felt by almost everybody that
the Republicans themselves under the same
circumstances, would have done the same thing;
or ct least TO the extent of replacing active po-
litical opponents by competent men of their
own political party. This point was clearly set
forth by Senator Beck, who, after expressing
his hearty concurrence in all that Conkling and
other Republican Senators had said in regard to
Mr.. Gorham's fsithfulness, efficiency and ac-
ceptability as Secretary of the Senate, remarked
that Gorham was much too able a Republican
and altogether too skiliul politician to be kept
in Office by q Democratic Senate, and that hay-
ing made good fight against the Democratic
party and lost it. he had certainly earned grsti-
tude and promotion at the hands of the party,
but could neither expect or desire continuance
in Office OH the part of the Democrats. Senators
Wallace, Bayard, Voorhees, and Eaton also ex-
pressed great personal regard for Secretary
Gorham, but very pungently called attention to
the prominent part he had taken in the recent
Naval and State campaigns as a Republican
| partizan. denial by Eaton of the truth of the
statement contained in the circular signed by
| Gorhsm as Secretary of the Republican National
Committee, that the Democrats intended by
evolutionary means, to Gust President Hayes,
| created an extended and extremely animated
discussion concerning the motives for the crea-
| ton of the Potter Committee last year and po-
| litical topics in general.
| Senator Wallace has called meeting Of his
committee, the late Teller Committee, for to-
| morrow, and proposes to begin work by ex-
| aiming George c. Gorham, the deposed Sec
| rotary of the Senate, regarding the raising of
| money from government officials for political
purposes.
The Senate Committee on Elections, to-day,

Advices from Panama, to the 18th, have been
| received. The situation in Bolivia is ur-
changed. Chill holds the Bolivian ports, and

to avenge, and this is her opportunity.

The monster Socialistic ball and meeting
which was inaugurated yesterday evening, con
tinued throughout the night and up to lat,
hour to night. The concluding exercise wa
a drill of those who bore arms, and it gave evi
dence of considerable knowledge of militar,
tactics No breach Of the peace occurred, al
though the utterances were generally of the in
cendiary character. Some unessiness is fel
lest the success those opponents of communism
principles have had in raising money in thi
way, may lead them to excuses, and cause al
outbreak which will end in bloodshed. The,
seem aggressive and confident of their power

burned Cettawayo's old krall. Other advices o

offensive operation, and state that the Zulu

and seem determined to do their utmost to pre-
vent relief from reaching him. All idea of OF
tempting to send him relief before the arriva
OF further reinforcements seems to have BEEF
