MADISON, March Both houses
met this A. NJ. A quorum in the Senate.
40 in the Assembly The special order
of granting female suffrage was taken up.
Mr.. Briggs SPOKE in its favor, he showed
that women were unjustly treated, the
constitutional principle being that all
governments derive power from consent
of the governed and that women were
amenable to all laws the same as men,
but had no voice in making those laws.
He quoted testimony from countries and
states where female suffrage had been
tried, and closed with tribute to the
good effects of equal suffrage amid ap-
plause, the speech occupying an hour and
a half.
Assemblyman Rewey spoke against
female suffrage. He said great reforma-
tons and revolutions followed great
wrongs, and declared there was now no
great political or social wrong that could
be corrected by giving the right of
suffrage to women. 1t was by far the
most earnest speech on the subject and
the most telling against female suffrage.
Mr.. Sage spoke briefly in favor of female
suffrage. Further consideration Of the
measure, was set for Wednesday next.
At the anti Cameron caucus, held this
P. NJ, Senator Crosby presided. Speeches
were made, saying Cameron has been a
true republican and a good senator, and
that the present action was not so much
against him as against the Milwaukee
ring, whose candidate he was. The bur-
den of the speeches were not against
Cameron, but against alleged dictation.
Senator Price said the caucus must not
only oppose Cameron but any man dc
tated by the few men composing the ring
at Milwaukee.
A combination is said to have been
made by the Dixonites with the dem
ocrats which gives him nearly as many
votes as KEYEs or CAMERON: the DIX
| oNITEs want no caucus, but 90 into con-
vention without instructions so the de-
mocrats can unite with them; others
Want the caucus tomorrow or Monday.
| WASHINGTON, March I'm spite Of
the fact, that the minds of most persons
are upon the incoming President, the
great crowd of visitors in the city have
have not forgotten President Hayes, the
White House was thronged with callers
as in the days when Centennial crowds
passed throug the city, and when the
daily receptions of the President almost
equalled in numbers those of his formal
days. Gen. Garfield has been over run
with visitors since an early hour; almost
all who called were invited to 90 to his
rooms but the crowd was so great that
many left contented with simply sending
up their cards. Z @i
There were some who called, whose
presence of course was an indication Of
grave business, Senator Blaine for in
stance was the first to arrive and be re-
ceived and after about half an hours
conversation, he was followed by w. f.
Chandler, Marshall Jewell, Senator Cam
eron, Levi P. Morton, Stanley Mathews,
E. Hubbell, Secy., of Congressional
Committee. all belonged to this latter
class whose presence signifed consulta-
ton upon Cabinet matters.
lssThe city seemed full yesterday, the
hotels, capitol and senate were filled up
with strange faces. To-day the crowd
has become almost liam and the impedi-
ment in all public places is as difficult to
penetrate as Broadway.
To-day has been clear and much warm
er than Saturday and the wind which
threatened the decorations and created
great discomfort by the cold blasts has
moderated greatly and tonight the pros
poets are fattering for a beautiful day
tomorrow as consequence the city is
blossoming with flags in all directions,
while about the public places and along
the line of march the decorations have
been more profuse than the COM
mittee anticipated, as they had prepared
for suitable displays.
The Cabinet reports to-day are that
Allison will be Secy. of the Treasury,
Wayne McVeagh, Atty. Gen., Robert
Lincoln, Secy. of War and Levi P Nor
