The two Democratic members of

treme shall be taken has not yet been
decided upon, ~ Messrs. Richardson
and Underwood, after comforting with
other Democratic mt mbers, stated
that action of the character contem-
plated should not be taken unless
there is the most complete concur
renee by the entire minority and Il
determination in advance to make a
most determined contest TO this
end it is the intention to submit the
matter to Democratic caucus proba
bly, on Wednesday night. A caucus
already has been called for that night
to consider the Boer war. Under
the caucus rules it will require unani
nous consent to consider anything
outside of the Boer subject. But in
view of the general sentiment among
Democratic members, it is expected
that unanimous consent will be given
to consider this Acknowledgement
question. Otherwise another caucus
will be called
One of the minority parliamenta
rians said:
"The business of the house ia
largely done by unanimous consent,
the courtesy of tho minority yielding
strict conformance to tho rules.
But the minority has the power to
withhold Unanimous consent and to
require a constitutional vote under
the rules on every question arising.
Without unanimous consent, even
the approval of the journal will re-
qnire a roll call, and it will take a
week to pass Il bridge bill. The
minority will be cautious in going to
this extreme and will not take snch
step unless assured in advance OF
united following. If the step is
not taken it will be only because OF
the majority resorting to such OK
tremes."
1t is stated that the movement on
the part of the minority is directed
not only against the Crnmpackel
resolution, with view to contestine
it's adoption to the last extreme, but
also to other Legislation 30 as to ON
barrass the majority at ev, y point
The action Of the committee or

resolution will not be reported to the
house for abont ten days as Repre-
sentative Grosvenor who is to max,

found in the Edisto river Friday
morning has been positively identi.
fed IA the remains of Barlow War
rem, though the verdict of the coro-
ner's jury was that the man WAS I'LL
known to them and that he came to
his death by accidental drowning.
Every one that has seen this body
and knew Warren during life, posi-,
lively identified as being his body.
The piatols found on the body
were also identified it as Warren's
property.
There was a camp fixed just across
the river from where the body was
found, just large enough for one
man to sleep in. This WAS in sight
Of where the safe was tied on the
night OF January q. The supposi-
ton low is that Warren WAS at this
camp Watching the safe when tho
officers found it, and seeing they
we're pretty close and fearing cap
| ture, tried to swim the river and
was drowned in the attempt. 1t was
generally thought that Warren was
at the head of both of the express
robberies which occurred near Fiftv-
Eight.
There we're several express en-
velopes found on the body, all of
which contained $23.84.
The body was taken to the neigh
