Republican Senators Caucus

The republican Senators were 10 csucu'
for three hours last night discussing tho Oh
der OF bns'n SO The outcome was dec
sion to acla,ie tbs consideration of the
pending shigpina bils. end then take MP
be GU! d. civil! appropriation bill. There
was prolonged debate respecting the
places to be ea;igned the ta-iff bill ard The
river eud taroor bill, as we'll as tbs oxpedi
ency OF considering the national election
bill this see'ion.
No decision IVES reached, as II was be-
ieved het before the shipping and guudry
ci,i hi are d,sposed OF the dem ocra,ic
90 icy will ia sufficiently revealed to guide
he republicans in formulating measures at
sub3t quert raacus 10 meet the necessities
Of The siua lon.
The speeches 10 the caucus showed that
there YVES decided majority for federal
election till, and it is said that no one
,tfongly otj-cted to it. but a fairly good
number showed g,ea. deal of lukewarn
les. en- he su ct.
A number Of vigorous spec ohes we're made
in favor o p .ssng g bill embracing the sa'-
lent features Of the Lodge bill. but it YVES
impossible to get 43 Senators to pledge
themselves TO remain in continuous session
until the passage of the bill is secured. Ar
other Caucus will probably be called to
fur her consider the subject.
There was s!mo7t unanimity In the opir-
ion that it Won,d be absolutely necessary to
adopt a closure lu'e in order to pass the bill,
and Senators Eimunds, Teller aud few OF
the other old Senators thought this would
outweigh ,he bers fit to come from the bills
passage.
Senator e lmunds suggested sitting 1t out,
but it soon developed that for one reason or
snotber-soms said plainly the bot weather
they did not propose 10 do this. The
Senators favored ''ioing business" Or other
wss a. ourGipG.
1t Was froU the West that the indiffer
ence to the bill! came. Though ct least one.
and it is said two eastern Senators were by
no means favorable TO IL.
Senators Adrch ami Icga!ls, of The Rules
Com nittee were smong tbs 50 who favored
a rule to stop debate, aud Senator Teller
was even more determined in his oppo
sition 10 it than Senator Eimunds.
1t Was decided to sppoint q committee Of
four to confer with tia committee On rDlss
with regard to briogins in az amendment 10
the rules to permit majorty of the Senate
to limit debate on this or any other question.
The resolution was adopted, with the Ut
dersiauding that there is nothing binding
upon the members to support the proposed
rule when 1t shall be framed. aud the whole
subject Yves referred to future caucus.

dissipated and destroyed the party last TALL,
there was nothing G S, for 1t to do but 70

The sundry civil bill as amended By the
Senate contains no provision for the COM

adverse action Of the military committee Of

practically killed that bill, as the members
o. that cam misiee became possessed OF the
idea that the bill was IN The interest Of

through both branches Of Congress.

WASHINGTON. D. O., July II. 1850.
The democratic congressional convention
10 tie 10Th, or Staunton, district of Virginia
will be held at Amherst Courthouse on the
1st pro1in o. So far as heard from, there is
no opposition either TO the denomination or
reelection of the present efficient repre-
sentative, Mr.. Tucker. congressman
Breckinridge, of Kentucky, ana Wilson. of
West Virginia, will attend the convention
and address the delegates.
What the republican Senators will do
with the force bill is now the absorbing
question at the Capitol, the opinion being
about equally divided ss TO the possible de-
termination. II the bill bs unpopular, the
Senators will be the more affected by II
than any other people, for the bill does not
apply 10 the election Of members Of the
legislature, who elect them. The President
ia 1estionably an earnest advocate OF the
bill, aud though many of the republican
Senators are opposed to IT, and others luke
warm in its support, if the caucus shall de-
fermine to pass 1t, as previously slated In
this correspondence, not d man amoDg them
will be bold enough to vote against it, Mr..
Farweli wto refused to vote for mildes bill
when memter Of The House, and who is
known to be- opposed to it, hes recently said
that If the bill be brought TO vote be would
be compelled to vote for it. And old aud
discerning democratic Senator told the GA
ZETTE's correspondent to-day that from the
first he had feared the bill would be passed,
and that If necessary the gag law would Dc
applied In order to tff.ct the object He
said efforts would be made 10 the Senate to
ame0d the bill 30 as TO make liz provisions
apply to the whole country and to allow the
certificates of elections to be issued as now,
ny the Governors of States, and not by the
federal supervisors, but that neither, of
course, would be successful.
The dilatory action of the democrats In
che House Is not only to retard all proceed
ings until the course the republican Sens-
tors intend to pursue on the force bill shall
he developed. Dat to prevent MIR. Speaker
Reed from fulfilling his promises to the re-
pubiicans of the House to facilitate the pas

for bis force bill.
