:, il to say % the Republicans, Il
,on do ne: vote for it and your
President docs not approve it we
will withhold supplies from the army.
o;acr Republicans not so prominent SEEM
a afraid to commit themselves, and were

! IN regard 10 their caucus proceedings.
There we're = number OF leading members,

r..lrd 10 back down. This was the situa-
ION up ito : o'clock. when the ioiat caucus
committee assembled, the proce cdiugs OF
which win give in my half-past IL dis

aot impose secrecy.
THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS TONIGHT.
The Republican Joint caucus adjourned
IL, before / / tonight. EdmundS offered /
lc,1luiion plei;ging the party TO vote against
lie Democratic caucus bill; but this wa:
opposed b. Cankling and others, who
while advising this course, thought men,
hoy, should hc lett untrammelled. Genera
liaw,ey sail Il The bill contained the Tel
Commandments, ne would say, Vote against
il, This WAS The prevailing sentiment, an(
those who thought differently to-day haC
4 c!aNgtd their minds tonight. II is the onin
by .. both senators and representatives
Ia: The President will veto it. There wa
disposition expressed to discuss the bill
tgi 70 one suggested the propriety OF fill
Clustering. Before the CAUCUS adjourned &
great many lncinhers LETT, and while they
Louhtrd The p1opriety OF the action pro
posed by Ednunds, they were willing IL
Vote against the bill. Yet it is clear that in
'1e!F hearts fear tiithE OF the Republicans
b-lcvc they ought to vote for it. The Ju
! dietary Committee OF both houses meet TO-
LorrOw to consider the bill. Edmunds's
!r,yIution was adopted. 1t is strange that
Caakling abused Hayes roundiv in his eau
co' speech, speaking Of him rs the man Of
iba White House, whose tenure OF Office i:
doubtful.
E"w REPUBLICAN, SENATOR'S LOOKED UPON THE
SITUATION.
Senator Eaton's bill, which was before the
lA9Ase Democratic Caucus Saturday eve
n!ns' was Introduced in the Senate day,
"au ii differed only in phraseology from
i9si Of Sena.og. Thurman, which is the
House bill. I found Republican senators
l"lFe belli.crcnt than their House brethren
sad' 10 my surprise, they seemed ready to
ls2t the bill rs bitterly as il it had been
"H in regard 10 supervisors and deputy
1afSha's. This may be the work OF Conh'
/ "2=' Chandler, Logan 4 Co., for it is not to
! &c interest OF the ultra GRANTEES TO have
81? OIL passed and the country relieved OF
excitement.
TGE DEMOCRATIC PROGRAMME.
lie Democratic programme may be now
'"saE0ed Is settled. First OF all. the eau
'"' Dill is 10 be passed, and if the President
,., sign II, then the army appropriation

ration bill, which is now in the hands OF
senate Appropriations Committee. This
