Tho Presidsney OF the senate.

A caucus of republican eenators was held
yesterday afternoon, Immediately after the
Adjournment of the senate. to consider the
cxpediency Of proceeding at once to the cleo
tion of q president pro temporc. Senator An
thony was the unanimous choice of the last
caucus, and would have been renominated be-
fore this had his health been such as TO rem
der IL possible that he would be able TO dis
charge the duties of the position. There was
a long discussion of this phase of the ques-
tion, and ut its close a committee was ap-
pointed to confer with Senator Anthony and
ascertain his views with regard to the matter.
1t is stated that no one appreciates more
the delicate situation of affairs than Senator
Anthony himself and it is very probable
that in the event that the voice Of the caucus
calls him to the chair Of the presiding officer
he will, after thanking his colleagues for the
great honor done him, insist upon rendering
his resignation, TO take effect ut once, or upon
the selection Of his successor. With this con-
dition of things presented there is some spec
ulation as to who will be presented for the
position. From the utterances of number
ofleading republican senators it is inferred
that the name of Senator Sherman will be
brought forward. in which event it is thought
that he will DO the choice OF the caucus.
Another caucus will be held early next week.

Brasnard II. Warmers Address to the
workinRmen.

A large audience was present last night at
tho Eastern Presbyterian church, on Eighth

Warner on the Dignity of Labor" Mr..
Warmers essay was practical paper, full of
instructive lessons. Said he: The sooner
workingmen look to education and the do.
velopment Of their capacity for advancement
the earlier will they obtain Just romunera-
tion and practical independence. Suppose
all or nearly all Of the laboring men OF the
country TO be educated, how greatly improved
would be both our business and social condi.
tion. Brains would create opportunities and
property. Thought woud develop capacity
and make business. LabOr-savink Inventions
which revolutionize all industries would not
render helpless the educated, for they would
be competent and useful in other occupations.
Men would realize that little good comes
from envying tho condition or condemning
the characte ristcs of those more prosperous
than themselves. Complaints would not so
often take the place of honest effort on the
part of the laboring man to exalt himself and
family by proper means and we'll directed
effort" Ho closed by saying, The least we
ought to do and tho most wo can accomplish
for tho day in which we live is 10 help ad-
vance proper public education"
