RVIRT ] THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY ¢ having made avery foollsh and fnlammstory fucech. Tunton, Marrls, Durbam, and Buck- ner made the conservative speechies of the cvening, They Inslsted that there was no honorable course for the Demotrats to pursue except to ARIDE BY TOE DECISION of the Electoral Commission. As the debato proceeded it beeame apparent that the revolutionists wera greatly In the minof- fty. John Young Brown, of Kentucky, who mnde stiwch & vigorons speech in the caucus of Saturdny night, In opposition 1o any dilatory movement, perceiviog the drift of the caucyr, rose and presented a resolution which, in subistance, was the rame as that adopte «cd on 8aturday night, declaring thatthe Elect- oral conhit HIIOULD BR TROCEEDED WiTH WITHOUT DELAY. It poon became apparent, howerer, that the party which would stand by the Commission Tiad ‘80 larze a majority that opporition would Do uscless, and, upon sugeestion that it woull 10t be neceseary for the caitcus to reaflirin the action of Baturiday night, Brown withdrew his resolution. There was no decision of vote had in caucus to-nlght; the only action was to agree that the cauncus should iake a recess untll after the Oregon count. Then it {8 expected that tho cauclis may reconvene tnke some action ‘with respect 10 the propored amendment to the reveral Appropriation bills, The Conservatives tay, however, that {t will be {mpossible for the tevolutionlsts alter tho Oregon count 8 conte pleted to reconvene the caucus fur any dilatery or fractious purposes. NARNET'S LAST, Caulfield, of Chicago, prohably mado the most foollsh movement in the ‘vaucus, Ie withed to bave a resolution possed that the dJoint Convention . should recon- elder fts action fn counting the vote of lllluvls, ‘and that the protest to the inelizl. Lility of Chaflee a8 Elector should be mnde. Ilo was evon laughed down, however, for having suggedted that. one Houae should resolve to re- conslder u rompleted act of the Juint Conven- tion, It incidentally appeared frown the debato that the probable rullc; of the Democrats wiil be to inslst upon the reduction of the army to 15,000 men, and to pass a resolution through e Houscrecognizing the Nicholls Government in Loulslana sud the Hampton Government in Bouth Carollng, leaving the reaponstbility for tlelr non-recognition upon the SBenate.
