SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
The Republicans Agree Not to Discuss a
Sectional Issue

The Republicans Agree Not to Discuss q
Sectional Issue
WASHINGTON, March 27th.--The Repub-
lican Senators held well attended caucus
to-day prior to the meeting of the Senate
Among the subjects under consideration
was one with reference to putting all the
clerks on the annual lists payment to be
made out of the contingent fund. There
is a general sentiment in favor of doing
this, but the question of its legality being
raised, no conclusion was reached.
Another matter considered was, Shall
Senator Cokes speech on Southern election
outrages be answered. The conclusion
was that there should be no further dis
cussion of the subject at this session.
After the adjournment of the Senate, the
caucus resumed its sitting and decided that
the employment of clerks which would re-
suit in an overdraft upon the contingent
fund was illegal, and therefore the scheme
to make all committee clerks annual clerks
will fail
A resolution was adopted, however, to
give Senator Vance of North Carolina, a
personal clerk. He has lost one eye, and
the sight OF the other is failing, and his
Republican colleagues deemed it only Just
that he should be spared the necessity of
using his remaining eye to conduct his Of
ticial correspondence
The general opinion, so far as expressed,
was that the Senate might reasonably ex-
pect to be able to adjourn on Wednesday
or Thursday of next week.

WASHINGTON, March 27th.- Governor
Beaver of Pennsylvania, who acted as Mar
shal of the parade on the occasion of the

lobby of the Riggs House this afternoon by
Captain George A. Armes, a retired officer
OF the regular army. Armes was originally
selected by General Hastings, Governor
Beavers Chief OF Staff, to act as one of the
aides in the inaugural parade. Suisse
quentiy Hastings learned that Armes had
twice been court martialed and was very
unpopular with the army officers, and Gen
eral Beaver therefore revoked the appoint
ment. notifying Armes that il had been
made by mistake.
Armes, however, appeared in the parade
accompanied by mounted servant and
rode beside the Vice Presidents carriage.
His presence being observed. he was elected
from the line by order of General Gibson
and Captain Bourke. He preferred charges
against these officers with the Secretary of
War, and wrote a letter to General Beaver
demanding an apology for his action.
To-day he met Beaver and asked him if
he intended to make an apology. The
Governor, who is cripple and walks with
crutches, replied that he did not intend to
apoioglze, whereupon Armes tweaked
Beavers nose. The Governor struck him
with one of his crutehes, but did no injury.
