Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. WasuiNGToN, D. C., Nov. 17.—The Senate Republicuns were In caucus ggain to-day for three hours. The purpose of the caucns was to bear and consider the report to be made by the Caucus Committee, whichvisited the President, and to determine what future action if any should be taken. Sepator Anthony presided. The Committee making the report consisted of Scnators Edwmunds (Chairman), Christiancy, Hamlin, Bruce, Don Cameron, Howe, and Kirkwood. One of the Administration Senators suggested that the Committee was chosen by Edmunds himself, and was composed of men who represented his views rather than the views of the ditferent members of the caucus. The Committee appear to have been less anti- Administration than was at first supposed. It is quite certain that Bruce, Christiancy, and Kirkwood, at the White-House, took a position MORE FRIENDLY TO THE ADMINISTRATION that had been expected, while Christiancy is prouounced for the President, and almost his only defender. Today the proceedings of the caucus are guarded with even more Zealous secrecy than before. There was a desire on tme part of some Senstors to have the injunction of secrecy removed, but as the action of to- day waos incomplete, and as anotber cau- cus is to be held early mnext week, for more definite action, the deliberations of to- day are still to be withheld from publicity. At Jeast that was the determination of the caucus, but Senators are not entirely able to withhold the general features, and it can be said witha reasonable degree of assurance that the follow- ing outline represents TILE SUDSTANCE AND SPIRIT of the meeting. It may be denied that amyre- port was made technieally, which denial may be true, but the conversation ~with the President was detailed. and for conven- jence the word report Wwill be used. The report of the Committee showed that the meeting with the President was rather more tempestuous than has been represented. One of the principal subjects discussed between the Committee and the President was that of pominations to office. The discussion of this subject had o two-fola aspect. It related first to the appointment of Democrats to office; sec- ond, to the participation of Senators in appoint- 1ments, or to the right of Senators to suggest to the President THE NAMES OF PERSONS whom he shall send to the Senate for the differ- ent offices. It was not necessary for the Committee to state what they represented to the President, as they at least considered themselves the exponents of the former caucus, and represented its views. The majority of the membersof the Committee represented themselves as very earnest in op- posing the appointment of Democrats to office under any circumstances, and Were not less solicitous as to the right of Scnators to have a share in the patronage. With respect to the Democrats, Hamlia, Don Cameron, Howe, snd Edmunds were not disposed toacquiesce in their appointment, believing that good Republicans could be found to fill the offices, but it is represented that Don Cameron was less persistent upon this subject than either Ed- munds, Howe, or Hamlin. Christiancy, Bruce, and Kirkwood, it is stated, Were not 80 persi- tent as to the politics of the incumbents of some of the offices in the South as they were that the officeholders should render the strictest fealty to the constitutional amendments, and all the legislation affecting the liberty of citi- zen8. ‘As to the right to have a share in the patron- age, the Senators we reported to have been TERY PERSISTENT. The spoils system seemed to be a central fea ture in this conmcesled contest be- tween the Semate and the President. 1t was natural that upon this subject the former Sshonld bave been tenaclous. The President is understood to have replied to the caucus in substance this: That he will be ever ready to furnish reasons for all nominations to offlee, both original nominations and those made in cases of suspension. ‘The President has already ordered this done in the case of suspension, al- though one or two of the Cabinet oificers at first were disposed to deny the right of the Senate to bave information of thissort. The President also spoke at length of the constitu- tional rights and duties of THE EXECUTIVE AND SENATE, RESPECTIVELT, and he believed it to be the constitutional and bounden duty of the Senators to consider the reasons which the President might make for ap- pointments or removals. He seemed to re- ard the Senate as a sort of court, and the Sen- ators ss Judges, who were to pass upon cases which the President sione had the constitutional power to originate. He seemed to draw the line where the function of the Senate begins and the function of the Executive ends,—at the door of the Senate Chamber when the Secretary of the President has delivered to the Semate the nominations. The President considered that it was Dot proper’ for membersof Congress to approach bim on the subject of appointments, or even to BUGGRST PER3ONE TO HIDM FOR OFFICE, and in this portion of his statement he verv nearly-furcished the occasion for that
