SENATORIAL CAUcUs.-During the
three days which ended last night while
the tariffbill was beirg considerably the
Senatorial caucus but one vote was
taken, and that but a few minutes be-
fore adjournment. This was on a pro-
position to instruct the finance commit
tee to put iron ore on the dutiadle list
without fixing any rate whatever, and
this was lost by a vote of 10 to II.
Senator Pugh, of Alabama, stated
that ne would not be bound by the ac-
ton of the caucus, and reserved the
right to support his motion in the Sen
ate. Several Senators at once declar-
ed that it would be useless to take any
more votes, because if Senators did not
intend 10 abide by the action of the
caucus it put an end to the power of
the caucus. Soon after this Senator
Voorhees,, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, moved that the caucus adjourn
to meet at the call of the chairman.
with the understanding that the finance
committee should continue its work on
the bill and report it as 0 o as possible.

SENATOR BRIcE OF Ohio says the
proposed tariff bill is the work OF south
ern brigadiers. 1t may be, but if 50
they should change their uniform, as
the members of Governor O'Ferralls
staff have done. from gray TO blue, for
the bill referred 1 TO protects every ten dol
lars worth Of New England manufac-
lures with a duty of four dollars, but
leaves the coal and lumber of Virginia,
and the sugar of Louisiana to hustle in
the markets ofthe world in competition
with similar foreign products, and with
out a particle of protection. No mat
ter what else may be said of the Viii
son bill, nc body who has read it can
say there IS any thing southern about
that bill.

Now THAT the tariff bill has been
recommitted to the democratic mem
bers of the Senate finance committee by
the democratic caucus OF the Senate, it
is hoped that it be amended, either by
making til free trade bill, as it should
be, or else by fashioning it in accord
ance with the national platform OF the
democratic party, so as to provide for a
tariff for revenue only. The Wilson
bill is directly contrary to that plat
form, as it imposes an almost prohibit
tory duty on New England manufac-
lures and little or none on southern
products, thus reducing revenue at
both ends of the line.
