CANADA Is INVITED TO COME IN.

The Democratic Caucus Decides to Favor
 the Admission of Those Contained in
 the Omnibus Bill. and Also Washington,
 Montana, New Mexico and Utah.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Democratic caucus of the house met in the hall of repre- sentatives at 7:30 o'clock last night and ad- Journed at 10:45. The caucus was harmonious About seventy members were present, MT. Cox, of New York, presiding Mr. Caine, of Utah, made an earnest speech in favor of the admission of Utah as state in the Union. She had, he argued, @ sufficient population, and the law was such that no one could vote who did not take an oath renouncing polyg- amy. Speeches were made favoring the di- vision of Dakota by Mir. Dockery of Mis- souri; Mir. Mansur, of Missouri, and MT. Voorhees,, of Washington Territory. The latter strongly favored the admission of Washington Territory as state Mr. Oates, of Alabama; MT. Herbert, of Alabama, and MT. McMillan, of Tennessee, opposed the ad- mission of any of the territories at this time, as all of them would go Republican if ad- mitted now.
 MT. Cox, of New York, said the Democrats might as we'll anticipate the inevitable, and admit the territories which were clamoring at the door of congress for admission If they were not admitted now they would be soon, and the Democratic party would gain no prestige from it. If admitted now they would reap whatever prestige there was to be derived from doing just and righteous act. Speaker Carlisle spoke in the same strain He favored admitting all of the ter ritories named in the Springer or omnibus bill This view seemed to he the view of the caucus, and the following resolution was adopted
 Resolved, That in the judgment of this caucus provision shall be made by which Dakota may be admitted into the Union as one state or two states, as the people of the two proposed states may hereafter determine; also, that the neces- sary legislation ought to be provided for the early admission into the Union of the territories of Washington, Montana and New Mexico; that those measures should all be embodied in one bl either by the amendment of the pending bill or otherwise as to details, as the committee on territories shall determine; and that an order of the house for the consideration of the measure should be made at an early day, and the bill con- sidered in the house at the earliest day practica ble.
 A separate resolution was approved admit ting the territory of Utah.

 TOLEDO, O., Dec. 14.-The White Caps have got to work in earnest. A man named Martin, living a few miles from Bowling Green, received notice early in the week that if he did not go to work and support his family he would meet punishment at the hands of "Wood County Vigilantes."

His clothes were then re- placed and he vas taken home, where he now lies sick.
