SENATOR CHANDLER'S SPEECH.

No event of the closing night of the late session
of Congress could compare in absorbing interest
with the ten-minute speech made by the Hon
Zacharah Chandler in the Senate. 1t was a quarter
to o'clock in the morning. The hour and the
events which Immediately preceded 1.-THE man
and the prominent part he had played in the most
stirring episodes in National history-served
to give to the words he uttered significance out
of all comparison with the ordinary course of
political debate. He said:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: Twenty years ago /. in company
with Mr.. Jefferson Davis, stood up in this chamber,
and. with him, swore by Almighty God that would
support the Constitution of the United States. JET

Government that he meant to overthrow.

THE NEW-YoRK TRIBUNE

The TRIBUNE has long enjoyed the distinc-
ton of the largest circulation among the best
people. 1t is now spending more labor and
eminence. 1t secured, and means to retain it,
by becoming the medium of the best thought
and the voice of the best conscience of the
time, by keeping abreast of the highest prog
ress. favoring the frecst discussion, hearing
all sides, appealing always to the best intel
ligence and the purest morality, and refusing
to cater to the tastes of the vile or the pIeju-
dices of the ignorant. The continued popu-
lar approval and the constantly widening pO-
litical influence it enjoys are the best proofs
that it is still faithful to these early secrets
of its strength.

A DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

Washington, Feb. 10.-A joint democrat
lc caucus of senators and representatives
was held in the hall Of the house of repre-.
sentatives tonight. The first subject con.
sidered was the proposition to repeal the
clauses in the revised statutes regarding the
test oath for jurors.
Senator Thurman offered an amendment
to the original proposition providing the
mode of drawing jurors in states where
there is no provision for that purpose.
Mr.. Southard offered another amendment
TO repeal the section of the federal supery:s.
ing election law.
Much d scussion arose.
Mr.. Thurman urged his resolution in
strong terms.
Mr.. Blackburn maintained that but one
OF the repeating measures should be attached
to one appropriation bill.
Senator Bayard opposed placing such re-
pealing clauses to the appropriation bills.
He was answered by Senator Thurman.
Finally the above proposition. with the
amendment we're accepted, and will accord.
ingly be appended to the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bills in the
houee.
The caucus was very we'll attended.
