WASHING rON. D. c., Sept. %, 1880.


WASHINGTON, D. O.. Sept. g. 1880.
Congressman Caruth OF Kentucky, who
went to Orange G. H., Va, yesterday to ad-
dress the democrats assembled there, has
returned and was at the Capitol to day. He
says he and ex-State Senator Meredith and
Gen. Lee spoke, that the audience was large
and enthusiastic, and that from what he saw
and heard there he Ia induced to think that
Gen. Lee will poll the full democratic vote
of the county. He says MIR. Shackelford,
one of the democratic managers OF the coun-
~, told him the General would, he thought,
carry all but two of the districts In the
county.
Il was reported at the Capitol tc-!ay that
some OF the republicans Of the House who
were anxious 10 gst their private bills
through, but saw no chance OF doing 30 az
long as the Langston case blockaded the
business OF the House, had urged Langston
to write letter 10 the republican caucus,
requesting that his case might lie over Tor
the present, but that be positively declined
doing anything OF the kind. and said be
would be seated or know the reason why,
and besides, would not only be member OF
this Congress, but of the next one also.
The republicans 10 the U. 8. House of
Representatives having counted quorum
to day, turned out Two fairly and legally
elected white democratic members OF that
body, Messrs. Venabie Of Virginia, and Eli
lot, of South Caroline, and put two negroes,
Lapgston and Miller, In their seats. HsV-
ing oonsummated their long contemplated
outrage, it is now supposed they will, for o
time at least, allow the regular business OF
| the Hous, to proceed.
The principal item Of difference remaining
among the republican members by the conference
committee on the tar. fl bill those that have
been obstacles like mountain peaks in the way OF
agreement from the beginning. sugar, binding

reached on the sugar schedule, less than five
minutes would be required to settle all other ques'
tious. 1t is expected by the House conferrees,
that an agreement will be reached before IL
o'clock tonight while on the Senate eide there Is
feeling that the situation is not quite SO favor
sble as it was last hight 1t is expected to-day
that the report will be presented by one O'Clock
to morrow, certainly not later than Thursday.
