Special Inepteh to The Chicaae Trioune, Wasrixnatoy, D. C., Feb, 13.~The bill adopted 1ast mght by the House Ropublican caucus has becn the pricoipal toplo of discussion to-dav. Thoro i s very marked division Among the Re- publicans a8 to tho propriety or necessity of the passage of the bill, snd it scoms ovidont that without very important modifications, especially {nthe 14th sctcion, it cannot become a law, Those Ropublicsas who wore mot presant at the eaucus, or who, being present, opponed the blil, do not foel that thoy aro bound by the action of tho caveus, and consider themselves at liberty to antagonizo tho bill when it shsll be presented to the House. The bill is opposed by what are known s modorate or conservativo Republicens, both on the ground of ita allegod illegality and uocoustitutiouality, and that it ianeithor necessary norfexpedient. Tho Arift of the sentiment among Republicass out of cacusmay bo taken from the spocchies which were elivorod in caucus i oppomtion to the bill, and which, owing to the extreme secresy, and tho lato hiour at which the caucus adjourned last night, conld not be necurately roported. Thowo who favored the bill used really but one argu- ment. They thought that the disturbed condi- tion of tho Bouth is iudication of an unwilling- nos4 on the part of the Bouthern whitea to ac- copt tho rtosulis of tho War, and of & de- ormination on their part, and by whatever meang, t0 make a united white-Damacratio Bouth. 'To accomplish this purpose ths Whito Leaguora will seo to it that tho cotored voters aro Insconre in person and property #0 long o8 thoy refune to yote the Democratic ticket. It was urged that the caucns bill wonld do snme- thing to protoct electors ju thoir rights, preserve the purity of tho ballot, and protect Southern Ttepublicans agalost White Losgue oppression. THE OPPOBITE SENTIMENT may b gatbered from the speechos of thoas who opposed tho bill, an accurato susiveis of some of which follows: Joaper D. Ward, of Chicago, initiated tho more particnlar politica! features of the debate by s somewhnt melancholy referenco to tho condition auna prospects of the Hopublican party. He took very advanoed Ropublican viows ; folt that the Bouth la & scone of deso- Iatlon: that the temper of tho Southem white 'people againat tho Goneral Govornment is as bad or worss than it was_befors tho outbreak of the War, sud that the South is now ina state of praotical rebellion.
