From our Regular Correspondents

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10Th, 1886.
At last the issue between the
President and the Republican Sen.
ators has been directly raised, and
the Senate, ultimatum is the talk
of the day. What does it amount
to, and whittier will it leadP In
reality it amounts to nothing more
than the expression of an opinion
by small portion of the Senate.

caucus, declare that they will con.

There is a widespread opinion that
the Republican leaders who are
prominent in keeping up the agi.

and however much individuals Sen.

committed a grave error, they are

much personal glorifcation, and
