A Democratic Ca,.cus.

At q largely attended caucus of the demo-
cratic members ofthe house of representatives
last night the following resolution was
adopted:
Res0lyed That we urge upon the house to press,
as fast as possible, to conclusion the appropria-
tion bills, and that we will take them up in pref
orence to all other meaSpres. --l a-
motion to urge the passage in the house
of bill to repeal tho tax on tobacco was
lost as was also motion to make the order
of business after the passage of appropriation
bills, the bills from the committees on public
lands and invalid pensions.
The two appropriation bills, sundry civil

appropriations, will probably be reported to

Con. Butler Aecepts.

Such persons as supposed that Gen. Butler
by tho Indianapolis convention wore griev-
ously mistaken. Gen. Butler is not the man
to decline a presidential nomination, como
from what quarter it may. 1t was not his
fault that three weeks were allowed to pass
before there was any public acknowledgement
of tho honor conferred by the anti.monopo-
lists, Although tho nomination was made
on the 2sth Of May, tho committee appointed
to apprise him of tho action of the conveu-
ton did not perform that duty until juno IL.
Con. Butler wrote his letter Of acceptance
juno 12.
It is very evident that Gen. Butler had
another nomination in mind when he penned
this letter. He was thinking of tho conven-
tion which is soon to meet in Chicago, and of
tho train of possibilities which 1t may set in
motion. He avoids committing himself upon
any Of the issues that divide republicans and
democrats, and ho leaves himself free to tako
whatever side may appear to bo most adFan-
tagoous to his personal interests after all the
nominations have been made IIo might bo
a republican or democrat, for anything that
he discloses in his letter, laying his views on
tho currency aside.
The greenback Is his platform. He be-
lieves that all currency should bo issued by
tho government His letter is not entirely
clear as to whether he believes that the
groonbacks ought to be redeemable in coin,

Hon. Holster Clymer's Death the Result
OF a Dose or Morphine.
READING, PA, June 1.-THE sad fact has
just boen developed that the death of Hon.
Hester Clymer was not caused by apoplexy
took dose of morphine on tho evening
before his death; that the physicians worked
hard all night to save him, and he died on
their hands next morning. 1t is said fnan-
cial reversos while in the iron business led
him to take that step. He drew up his own
will two weeks ago, giving everything to his
wife.
PHILADELPHIA, Juno II. The Evening
IelegrapRs special says that Mr.. Clymer took
about twenty grains of morphine, either
accidentally or otherwise, and was discovered
by his wife about z o'clock IN the evening in
an unconscious state. The same dispatch
says: "A physician was quickly summoned,
who at once walked him up and down the
rooms all night, having relays of men reliev-
ing each other at midnight. A stomach pump
was used until o'clock in the morning
without effect His wifo meanwhile was
going into Mysteries every fow minutes. He
died in terrible agony. Until he died, at
o'clock, strong efforts wero made to have tho
matter kept quiet ana to prevent a coroner's
inquest in which the family was successful;
but Coroner Schroeder was no titled this after
noon, and the body Of the decersed may yet
be resurrectod and an inquest held.
The matter has caused great excitement
throughout the city and county, especially
ON account of tho funeral having been held
yesterday afternoon.
This afternoon his wife is lying low from
prostration caused by the shock, and it is a
question Of time whether she will recover or
not.
1t ia impossible to get anything from the
attending physicians, rs they refuse TO be

IT is not likely that Senator Brown will
tako Senator Ingalls's description Of the
purely imaginary senator from Alaska as
