DEMOCRATS. IN CAUCUS.

To the Associated Press:
The Democratic senators in caucus 10 day
agreed upon a substitute for Edmund's res
olution declaring the thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments equally vail
id with other amendments of the con-
stitution. The substitute, while recog-
nizing the binding force of the amendments
named regards senator Edmund's resolution
us proposing legislation in conflict with the
decisions of the Supreme court, par
tieularly in the Cruickshank case, hold
ing that the constitution does not confer
the right to vote on any one, but simply con-
fers the privilege of freedom from any dis
elimination on account of race, color or pre-
vious condition, and that regulation of suffrage
belongs exclusively to the several states.
THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.
In the executive session OF the Senate this
afternoon MIR. Edmunds delivered an elabor-
ate speech in advocacy of the resolution sub
mitted by him, which provides for termin-
atiug 50 much of the treaty of Washington
as relates to the fisheries, by giving the notice
required by its provisions The resolution
was referred to the Foreign Relations CONS
mittee. According to present appearances
it will be adopted by the Senate without oppo-
sition, and President Hayes will promptly
thereafter give the required notice to the Gov
ernInent of Great Britain.
TIE POTTER COMMITTEE.
The Potter Investigating Committee will
meet Wednesday morning, and if the extra
appropriation which will be asked for is
granted by the House, they will probably
at once commence the Investigation of the
cypher dispatches. Nothing further has been
heard from sherman or Shellabarger as to the
evidence of st. Martin, and the chances are
that he will not be called TO the stand
THE CENSUS.
The Senate and House subcommittee on
the census, in joint meeting to-day, substan
TALLY agreed upon all the main features of the
bill introduced by Representative Cox, ex
cepting the provision in regard to the manner
disappointing census supervisors
NOMINATED BY HAYES.
The president has nominated William q
Thompson, of Iowa, chief Justice of the s1
preme court of Idaho.
WANTS A REHEARING-
George Reynold, the Utah Polygamist
whose case was recently decided IL
the United States Supreme Court, filet
