AT THE caucns Of the democratic mem
hers of the U S. House OF Representatives
last night, i; was determined TO exclude
Utah from ths list Of Territories that may
be admitted as Slales into the Uoion and
this, TOO, though of all the Territories, Utah
is probably the only one that would be q
democratic State. TIE reason for the ez-
clusion of Utah is that a few of the people
of that Territory follow the example Of the
patrisrchs and %prophe.s Of the Bible in re
soect of plural marriages IL is TO be hoped
tina, the democratic minority in the next,
may be wiser than the democratic m%fjorit,
in the present House.

STATE CHA1RMANsHIp.-The Washington

STATE CHAIRMANsHIP.-The Washington
correspondent OF the st. Louis Republic
writes "As Virginia is the other State in
which democrats are 80 deeply interested
when next years contests take place, it CAP
be stated that although Senator-elect Bat
bour will probably not remain at the head
of the State central committee, the chaii-
msnship ia likely to fal! to a gentleman OF
his selection. Mr.. Barbour is getting olG
and he hos merited a rest from the active
and wearing duties Of a political campaign
He will bs 6S years Of age this month, and
it is aaid that he will be succeeded as chair
msn Of the committee by F. G.. Venab!e, Of
Petersburg, Congressman elect from that
district. This is known TO be the wish Of
the Senator eltct, and doubtless the demo
CRATIC politicians throughout the State will
be only too glad 10 acquiesca, as they know
that Mr.. Barbour will lend all the aid in his
JIG to HE Petersburg friend. Mr.. Vena
bic is certainly Mr.. Barbour's choice, and
he is regarded as perhaps the next best cam
paign manager in the State.

report UPON it shall have been made,and re-
fer1ed il to q sub committee, consis ing OF
Lee and Mr.. Compton, of The Fdlnce
Georges county, Md, district, for such a
report. The bill is as follows
A R11L to provide an ice boat or boats TO facili-
tate the navigation of the Potomac river.
Re it enacted, &c, that an ice boat be construct
ed or purchased, to facilitate the navigation o!thc
Potomac river, to co. not less than one hundred
thou and dollars. the same to be under the diIec-
tion of the Secretary of the Treasury.
/. is fsa ed that the refusal Of the COM
mittee TO act 90 the bill this morning, In
view of the fsw days the House will give
the committee during the remainder OF Inc
session, means that for this winter also the
longed for ice boat will bs 10 the alr and not
10 the waters of the Potomac.
After Mr.. Riddle berger left the Senate yes
terdey evening he expressed his resentment
against Mfr. Ingalls, very freely, saying that
no matter what be. Riddleherger, might
have done, he had never had q fight With
u womau-al!uding to Mr.. ingalls,
iate reply 10 Mrs. Whitney. Nor
was he at all mealy .mouthed respect
ing the treatment he had received at the
hands Of Senators EdmunGs, Sherman and
othe. leading republicans. So provoked was
he that he actually threatened to resign
aud let Gov. Lee appoint q democrat to hls
seat. 50 rs to tie the Senate and thus pre-
vent the passage of republican measures.
But nobody expects be will carry that threat
into execution.
Representative Yost, Of Virginia, requests
the GAzETTE's correspondent to State that
while he did not vote on the direct land tax
bill, because he was absent, he took good
care that his vote should be counted 10 favor
of that bill By securing a pnir with one offs
opponents. Mr.. Yost being asked il ne a.
tended the recent conference OF the anti
Malone wing of his party, replied that be
had not. and that, of couree, he had no,
ever been invited to the more recent one OF
the Malone wing. BE said ho was fancy
free so far as the division in his party io
his State was concerned, and felt very much
like saying to both wings "a pest en- boto
your houses" as he was a republican, hui
| neither q Malone nor an antl.Mahone re
| publican.

ACCORDING to the latest intelligence i'll
respect of the matter referred 10, Mr.. Blaine
will be the premier OF the next administra
ton. If this he go, General Malone may rs
we'll hang his harp on the willow tree, for
the end Of his greatness will have been
reached. Between him AID Mr.. Blaine the
chasm, though not bloody, can not be
b!iaced. Each has q gruige against the
other that naught but grace can obliterate,
and as neither possesses that quality, it will
remain till wiped out by death.

DURING THE discussion Of the tariff bill
in the Senate last Wednesday two demo-
cratic members, Messfs. Payne of Ohio and
German of Maryland, took the side of their
republican colleagues. The action Of the
democrats 10 Congress gives credence to the
report that tho democratic party ia without
discipline, dieorganized, and, in fact, in the
yery throes of DISSOLUTION. The tariff haa
become the CREST dividing line between the
democrats aud the republicans, and yet
some of the leaders of the former are found
fighting on the side Of the latter. How can
it be expected TIA; the rank and file will be
snore united I?

The RKvIsED returns OF the recent ma

popular plurality was 1O7 .4SS. This is
enough ofitself to refute the assertion OF
tn p.otec; ionists that the people have de

minority. tho Immense white 4Dsjority for
Mr. Cleveland. the leader of the low tariff
forcea, Is eoough to conicund those who
make The absurd assertion referred to-
WHY, the only Two facts developed by the

for the South has not been assuaged by the

the whole country are in favor OF low tariff

body was lacerated in horrible manner.
He begged piteously. His recovery is doubt
full. He is a prominent citizen Of that coun
ty, and is man of considerable means. He
has wife and family. The charge against
him was drunkenness and abuse of his fami
ly. A. Jackson Goodman, who also lives
near English, was notified to change his
manner of doing business by keeping sober.
