Speetal Daspatah ta The Chicaod Tribune, Wasmisoron, D. 0, Dec. 19.—Tho Housa Demoeratic oaucus met st 2 o'clock, and iu twa houra bad perfurmed twa remarkable ncta, It appolnted & committeo to conduct the Iresi- dentisl campaign, and asother committoo to act asa Star Chamber ccoeor of Uobgress, Tho first Committos is uanal with both parties. The accond is & political innovation, Toe Norlbern Demoorats, who make soine clajm to lodepond- euce, aro already vory reauve at the caucus de- cition. They are even vow roady to ocho tho words of Holman, who naid in caucus tuat bo did uot propose to have aoy Star Chamber cootrol bin vote or consclence, Tle formal procoedings of tha caucus wero those: It was geucrslly agreed tbat the procecdings of the cancus should be kept socret. Lamar, who bas boon mado per- maneat Presideut of tho Democratio caucus, called tbe mosting to order. He mated that i bad been callod st the requeat of prominent membersof tho party, to take such action as might be deomod propor, aftor considoration. Waddoll, of Nerth Garolina, offere & 1esolution providing for the appointment of & NATIONAL DEMOCRATIO EXECUTIVE DOMMITTER to conaist of three membera of the Bsnste, six membeors of the Houte, aud Mhreo romi- deuts of the District, who should have supervision of the distribution of doo- uments, and have chargs over such otber matters s are ususlly devolved on such & commities. Waddell thonght that the im- portance of the Prosidential cawmpaign reuderod such & commlittes imporativély noceseary, This resolution was adopted without disoussion. Sam Cox then submiited his Star Chamber rosolu- tion. Thia brilliant opponent of the ** Will- the-wlsp,” which he caila Republicun contral- ization, proposes to oreato something liko the old Council of Ten, which shall have control of » great patty, and maxo voting catt's of ita Representatives, Cox succesdod, and tha futile attsmpts of the Repubiicans 1 the list Congress to suppress indejendenco of thought oo the Forcobill and otber subjests are insignificaut compared with the shacklos which the Dem. ocratio party forged to-dsy for the voices and votes of ilts members. Cox's resolution provides for the appolntment of A COMMITTER OF THIRTEEN Representatives to sot in coajuvoiion with & Commuttee to be appointed by the Bouste Dem- ogratio caucus to originate busloess, and to do- torniine ou aach line of policy a8 muy bo wise to pursne. This is tho subatauce of the language of the resolution. 1t mes with covsideravle op- positlon i shat form. A large number ot mem- bera wished Lo bave a botter chiance of socur- fog ® placo cn this grand pohticat councll of the Democrats than they were !koly to have at the Lisuds of Lamar. Accordingly an amend- ment was offered, providing that the Commities should oonsist of one member for each State and Tertitory, to be named Ly the respective dolegatious.” A general debate followed, which waa paricipated in by Randall, Hoiman, Jones of Keutucky, Luttroil. sod Buckoer, Holan and Jones developed the must indapendence. ‘Lhey opposed both tho resolution aud the auendmeut, fngisting that no necoesity axistod for tho oreatiou of such a Coramittes, Thoy said that the action of nu Committee could b.nd any member or prevent the caucus of the whole from ¢aking whatover action i§ deemed right, Those who Lad planned this policical Sanhedrim were not to bo diverted from tho puriose by any such extibitions of inde- pendence. Specious speeches were ready to show thet the object ot the resolution was not t0 bind the votes or conxcieuces of any mem. ‘bers, but that it was mnul{ 1o simplity the Iators of the cause by arranging busineas: 4 that whatever recormmendations the Com: decided on shou!d be submitted to the for its approval. The reaslution, iotroduced by Cox, was. howove out moditication. Lamar was ai poiut both Comumittees, transacted. The Cons A ative Democrata VKRY MUCH DIGTURBED at ¢bls caucas action. Tobey concede thatitla s ounfesaion of weakness ; that it is an sttempt ro ssoura by force a unity whiot doss not 1o fack oxist, It is & desporato expediont of tious, chaniis hatrogensous party, and' seams more likely to divrupt thao to unite the Demo- cratio party, 'Theie sre a fow men from moder- ate districis in tho North, like Holnsn, whosa voices will nob be stopped.
