The Democratic Caucus.

asking the Republicans when they would be

business should not be delayed because there
were vacancies. Vance proposed to pair with
the four Republican vacancies, and the Re
publicaps to go on with the organization, but
the majority overruled this, and decided to
go right on. The caucus virtually agreed TO
the suggestion of Garland, that if the Repub-
licans would name an early day when they
will participate in the organization, the Dem

day claim Malone positively. The Demo-
orats claim that he will not vote on the
organization at all. David Davis created
surprise by refusing the Craftsmanship of the
Judiciary Committee to-day. A Republican
caucus was held, it is said, to consider the
Democrats proposition.
The Chinese Question.
CHICAGO, March 11th.-The Times prints
long letter from T. A. Bee on Chinese i'm
migration and the recent treaties in which he
states "There has been no increase of
Chinese immigration TO the United States
during the last decade. The emigration and
immigration is almost wholly confined to
those who have been resident here within the
past twenty-five years. There has not been
during the past decade enough fresh immi-
grants arrived to fill the places of those who
have died and finally returned to their homes.
These propositions L challenge contradiction
to. Another query, as to what effect re-
strictive legislation will have upon that class
now ia this country, l answer that it will
have tendency to keep them here and wipe
out of existence the two splendid lines OF
steamships now plying between this port and
Hongkong."
NEW YORK, March 11th.-The Herald, in
urging the Senate to organize and proceed to
business, says: "There is the Chinese treaty
awaiting ratification. If Chinese labor is an
evil, why not take the Chinese at their word
and suppress emigration? These Chinese
have given us the power, and we should use
it. We can use it when the Senate confirms
the treaty"
The Mexican Mission.
CHICAGO, March 18th. : The 7riBune's
Washington special says: There is curious
piece of gossip respecting the mission TO Mex
leo. This mission, it is said, at the request of
General Grant, has been placed at his dis.
posal. He desires to have Joh1 Russell
Young go as Minister, but Young himself
prefers the Chinese mission. Should Young
decline the Mexican mission, it is possible
that General Grant may suggest the name of
ex-U nited States Senator Paddock, of Ne
braska. General Grant takes great interest
in the Mexican mission, as he has large bust
ness interests in connection with railroad and
other enterprises there.
