Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, BraiNariELD, Jan, T.—After tho explosion of tho Democratic House caucns Jast night, oven until 2 o’clock this mornfng, did the inoro en- lightened of the Domocrata labor with Tom Casey, the Bourbon nomince for Prosident of tho Bonate, to induce him to get off tho track. ‘They exbausted themselves, they took ® short nap, snd this morning besloged Lim again. Thoy told him his candi- dacy was tha solo obstaclo interposed botwaen them ond success ; that they would owe him s big dobt of gratitude, as would tho party, That debt would not be forgotten. Wouldu't e now —for their salie,—tor the 4ake of the party,—for the saka of beating the Ropublicans—make the macrifice required at his hands? And Senator Tom woulda't. o atill Liold out for a * fair divide.” MONTAGUE AND CATULET, But hia blood was up—~on another zecount was the blood of tho Caseya up.

Tacsons had Lind thoir shinre of it, and were going to have it out. It was mot oniy *‘Fawr Divide,” but it weas Anderson as well, and Tom was in for war to the Lnifa and the koifo to tho hilt. There was, in short, *‘no use talking" to Tom, The more eulightoned talked also at'Tom Merritt, who, with his cleven atraight Bourbous, had spoilt tho Flouse Demo- cratie caucud, all for the sake of Tom Cusoy, snd in the intercat of '* KFair Divido,” Thoy tried to persuande Merritl that he had eaton buttered watormelon the ovening provious; that he nad Leld out loug onough; had made agallaue fight and boon defeated, and ought now, liko suy Democrat in good standing, to givo in and yield to the maudate of tho caucus, inntoad of slinging firebrands aud spreadiog dis- rensions and raising the d—1 geverally. sut Merritt and Lis Bourbons were immovable, and Giasaford, Parist, and others of the Independ- ents wore inflaxible Io their opposition to Casoy, aud npon Casoy's gotting out of the way or of the going over of the Sonato Indspendsnts, and thus stood the question of the organization of both Houses when the Houso convenod this moruing. TUE DEMOCRATS HOT READY TO VOYE YOR SPEAK En, In the IMouse, immediately after the oath of ofiico had bean administered by Justice Walker to the members, overy ous of whom—excopting those ot Cook, absconded—was in'his seat, the fight waa forced by Conuolly, of Coles (Republi- can), who offered & reaolution to proveed to the clection of a permancnt Bpeaker, Thereupon cousternation was vislble in the faces of the Democrats, Oasey hado’t beea switched off the track for the Presidency of the Banate, and Mer- ritt, who, in Casey's interest, last night, ex- ploded the proposed coslition, kadn’t boon brought round, acd was on hand with his elevon Bourbous, who, though leas rampageons than at miduight, wera still feared. ‘Thoy woro not ready, and, to gain time, Cum- mings began fllibustering by domanding the readiog of the resolution fur the fmformation of the Houso, aud Merritt, who was uot ready for the possible summary domolition of Casoy's prospecta in the Seuate, Ly an open break with the independent and enligltened Dewocrats, moved an adjournmont uotil 2 o'cleok.
