THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY., NOVEMBER 18, 1877—SIXTEEN PAGES. passage i the speech of ome of the Scnators in the former caucus who said-that whenever he ventured to ap- prozcn the President with regard to the * busi- ness of bis district.” as he called it. the Presi- deot drew from a drawer tue Cincinnati platform, Lis Jetter of acceptance, and sundry Civil- Service papers. . The President, according to the Committce, wants 10 £o back to that passace in bis inaugural which treated of the relation of Cougressien to patronage and the Exccutive, which at the very outset of the Administration excited s0 much antagonism on the part of the spoils-seckers. The President stated that, while bhe could not consider that it Wag proper for Senators to approach him to solicit patronage or to scek to be office-peddlers, it +as a proper thing for them, when called upon by him to give nformation as to the qualifica- tions of differcnt persons In their sectious for office, to furnish the information desired. In short, the President DREW THE LINE SHARPLY that a Senator from oue State had no more Tight to consult with him about any given ap- pointments than a Senator from an- other State, and that the only fune- tion of Sepators in the matter of ap- pointments was as judges after a case had been made up and presented to them. In the making of that case they could properly have no part. He considered that the soliciting of patronage, as understood by Senators, was NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE CONSTITCTION, and was contrary to all good moruls and souni policy, and had & demoralizing influence on the wublic service. In the matter of the appointment of Demo- crats to office in the South, the President said that he bad nominated but few, and as to these, After the explanations which have already been ziven in these disputches, the Senate could judge. What he bad dome he thought was done for the best interests of the colored people, and the localitics where the officers were appointed. The President’s general statement as to his Southern policy was detailed in former dis- patches about the Committee visit. Possibly the rcason why the Senators desire to Keep their caucus discussions so sceret is 1hst they prefer that the public should not un- derstand that the spoils system 15 SO PROMINENT A FEATURE of the differences which they have so lone con- cealed from the public. The Presiden: in this interview, although apimated at first, was good-tempered throuzhont, but is represented by the Committce 2s having been very firms some of them said obstinate. What the leading mem- bers of the Committee thought of the report mav be inferrea from the announcement of one of them, that THE SENATE WILL NOT DACK DOWN, Scnator Edmunds submitted to the caucus the report. of the Committee. Mr. Edmunds said that the President did not show proper respect to the Senate: that he scolded the Senate be- cause they did not support his policy, and that the President thoughtiftheSenatchad givenhim cordial support instead of criticising his nolicy the party would be stronger. Mr. Edmunds, in his talk to the caucus, expressed the opinion that Mr. Hayes’ head was turned; that he was vain; and that he was surrounded by a class of men who kent from him the true feeling of the country with regard 1o his policy. Mr. Christiancy was the only : £TOOD BY TUE PR NT and advoeated his policy. No resolutions were passed. The general opinion of the caucus was that Hayes, as oue cf them put it, “was bull- headed, and not willing to be appealed to by the Senate.” Neariy every Senator present spoke except Dawes. He said nothing. although in the former caucus he had been one of the most ac- tive in Lis outspoken suoport of the Adminis- tration. George Hoar said but little, and,what he did say consisted chicfly of inquiries. *Ghris- tianey was i ATE ADVOCATE OF THE ADMINISTRATION he dweit at lenath uponthe policy of - concilia- tion and its effects, and in reply to those who insisted that the South was becoming united agaiust the North, be referred to a recent clee- tion in Mobile, where he cluimed that the result of the bolt from the regular Democratic nominations aud the election of an independent candidate showed that the policy was successtul. To this a Southern Scnator made answer that Christiavey was mistaken as to his facts. and that e circum- stances to which he referred proved the con- trary; thatin point of fact it was the portion of Alabama Hepublicans known as the Spencer faction which united with the disaffected Democracy to clect an independent idate, and that the result was an anti-Adiministration instead of an Administration victory. It was made to appear in the cancus thas the President is extremely anxious to conciliate MENTS IN THE SOUTH,— first, the old Whig; second, the relirious ele- ment; and that many of his appointnients and Lis political movements_are to be explained in viewof that pu!‘k)s& To this several replicd that the old-line Whig idea was a haliucination; that there were not enough old Whiss to be counted. As to the relizious clement it was persistently maintained by different Scmators that the old religious clement at the South was always the must opposed to Lhe Cnion, and the ™o stronaly attached to slavery, and that it Las since the War been one of THE MOST DIFPICULT PROBLEMS conpected with reconstruction; that the relig- ious people constautly represeut the Bourvon clement in the South, and have been an obstacle in the way of _reconciliation and progress. To Georze Hoar, who is one of the strongest upporters of the Adwministration, is represented L) have assented. The President was always indly mentioned in cauvus, but a gre i it minori- iy of the Senators,—all, in fact, it issaid by some exeepting Christiancy, were of the opinion Lhiat he is deceived. TNE ELECTION CASES. The contested cases from Louisiana were cou- sidered at length. No formal resvlution_ was adopted, but the general opinion favored structing the Elections Committec to inv #zate all branches of the subject as suzzested by George Hoar's resolution in commitie is would reonen the cntire Louisiann question, and result in indefinite delay. The suggestion was also made that the cases should be remanded to the peoble, and new clections held. This recosnizes the new order of things. On the whole, although the anti- Administration people did the most talking, 1t is evident from J:u caucus to-day that the Pres- ident's friends really are much Stronger than hey were at the Jast caucas, that pood fecling Thas resulted from tnese interchanges of opinion, and that there is not pow wuch reason to fear 3 rupture between the Senate and the Presi- ent. THE CATCUS. To the Western dssociated Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 17.—A caucus of Republican Senators was beld this_ afternoon. The Senators who waited upon the President to soquaint him with the comments of the pro \ ©yous.caucus, Fave an account of what took place. They reported that the President, in respouse to the statement of widespread unca- siness acd dissatisfaction which had been creat- ed among his party friends by his appintment of Democrats to Southern offices, ete.. had ar- gued that bis polics in this rérard fwas not prejudicial to thé iuterests of the Re- publican party, “and certainly was mot wopted by "' him from any wagt of earnest desire for the perpetuation and main- zenance of the Republican power and principl On the contrary, it was his expectation and be- lief that the pursuance of this policy would pro- oote 8 coulition of the old Whig and various Sther elements natarally opposed to the Demo- sratic party in the South, and cventually secure Mx or eight Southern States for the Republicans. mfii}fiiél;‘e'c:ix;u{,hrg at the interview expressed aecives to caucus couvinced that the THOROUGHLY SINCERE IS THIS BELIEF.

Ewing should bave learned by 1bis time that he is not enough of a parliamen- tarian to makeany very accurate predictions as to the result of any steps he may take. Ewing was 5o certain, however, that he would speak, and that the bl which Ewing was to have had passed ten daysafter he came to Coneress would at the end of the fourth week be passed, that heinvited a host of lady friends to listen to his oration. Atall events they were there in consid- erable numbers, and as the day wore on and the Finance bill did not appear, aud Mr. Ewiog did not speak, vages were kept busy carrying explanations of the postpouement to the gal- leries. Ewing did not have his adherents well inhand. His bill was first pushed aside by a morning hour which he could not prevent. The v bill with the Senate amendments post- poned it for an hour longer, and, finally, on the direct issue made between Ewing's bill and the Paris Exposition bill, the latter obtained the right to the floor by a large majority, so that Ewing’s bill is indefinitely postponed. 5 - THE ARMY BILL , passed the House substantially as it came from the Senate, and the House Appropriation Com- mittee on the first bill has suffered a signal de- feat. The principle characteristics of the Army Dbill sent by the House to the Serate were the clauses which encroached upou the Presidential prerogative by directing the stationing of four remiments of cavalry in Texas, and the scetion reducing the army from the present standing of 25,000 to 2 The Senute struck out s, leaving the President Couamander-i icf of the army, and leaving the army at the standard of 25, To both of these amendments the House, in the face of the extraordinary exertions of the Appropriation Committee, agrecd.

METCALFE, the Republican from the Third Missour! Dis- trict, after bis very prolonged coutest in the Missouri courts, was sworn in upon his certifi- cate. Sowe of the Demoerats were ungracious enough to_attempt to pursue him even in the House, and a statement was read and referred tothe Elections Committee stating, in_ effect, that it was the opinion of the Democratic offi- cers of the Supreme Court that Metealfe’s op- ponent was clected by one vote. TPossibly the reference may be infended as the basis for a contest on the part of Frost. - THE PARIS EXPOSITION BILL was debated for two hours, and will probably pass without apy, cousiderable amendment. An amusing feature of the debate was _w_ specch by Gov. Swaun, of Maryland, Cbairman of the Foreieu airs Committee, baving charge of the bill. r. Swann, although a larze man and full-chest- ed, has no voice, and cannot be heard three feat distant. It is related of him thatin a former Congress it was not observed that be was speak- ing, and that a confercence report was made and acted upon by the Appropriations Committee in the House before discovering that Mr. Swann had the floor and was speaking, the Speaker baving forgotten it. Members athered in a circle around the area to-day, but throughout the House not a word could be beard. Will- {ams. of Wisconsin, made an earnest speech for :.lhe bill. The bill will probably be passed Mon- ay. THE PACIFIC RAILROADS. HOW THEY DESIRE TO SETTLE. Speciul pisvaich to The Chicagn Tribune, ‘Wasnixeroy, D. C., Nov. 17.—The Senate Judiciary Committee heard further arguments in bebalf of the Union Pacific and Central Pa- cific Companies. These Comvanies desire, first, that Congress should not interfere, but, if it should decide to interfere, they stated that they had a proposition to make. That proposition was made on bebalf of the two Companies only, the Union Pacific aud the Central Pacifie, aud did not relate to the branch roads. Itis in substance what was telegrapbed last week. The Companies propose to reconvey to the Governmeut 12,000,000 scres of land at §1.25, and to give §1,009,000 additional, all to be used as a Sinking-Fund, estimated to be equiv- alent to §17,000.600, upon which they ask 6 per cent interest. They propose to pay the balance of their indebtedness in 1905. They do not state Tiow they expect to sive the Government the title to the lands, all of which are under mort- mages. CLARKSON POTTER has pot indicated bis intention since his return of abandoning the Pacific Raiiroad Committee, and the impression now that he will serve after the excitement is allayed.

THURMAN AND THE SILVER BILL, Ta regard to the position of Senator Thurman on the silver question, it may be stated that the Scnator has steadily refused aud still refuses to commit himself o tonversation on the sub- ject. He hasnot read tbe Bland bill yet, and consequently has expressed no opinion about it. He has, however, said thut he is in favor of remonetizing the silver dollar as it existed be- fore the demonetization of silver, and will give his views of the whole question fulls when the bill is reported by the Finince Committee to the Senate. but e AN OP) Secretary Sherman is said to be of opinio :}:n e House canot puss the bil repl::ulin?; e Resumption act.

THE RECORD. HOUSE. Wasniseroy, D. C., Nov. 17.—Mr. Atkins re- ported back the Army Appropriation bill with the Senate amendments, recommending concur- renee in some of the amendments and non- currence in others. Mr, Atkins explained that the Senate amendments were mainly immaterial, the chief point of difference between the two THouses being the clause limiting the army to 20,000 men and limiting it to 25,000 men. The House then proceeded to vote upon the amendment. The Senate amendment reducing the appropriation for the expeuses of the Com- manding-General’s office from 33,000 to $2,500 wus concarred in. The next smendment was one striking out the clause providing. that four full cavalry regiments shall be kept up on the Texas frontier, and Inserting, instead of it a proviso that cavalry regi- ‘ments may be recruited to 1,000 men, and thut a suificient force of cavalry shall be employea the defense of the Texas frontier.

Special Diswaich to The Ciicago Tribune: 81. Loois, Nov. 17.—The exciting topic of conversation bere to-day has been the tragedy of yesterday, resulting in the wounding amd capture of Frank Rande, the most desperate out- Iaw thut has figured in the West since the days of border warfare. Last night. it was the opinion of the attending physicians that the desperado would not survive through twenty-four hours, as he had freceived a fearful shot throush the left lung and oue in the lex; but the wounded man has shown such cvidences of superior vitality to-day that the beliet is now expressed that he will eventually recover. The condition of Policeman White, who was also supposed to be fatally wounded, is like- wise encouraging, and his exceptionally fine constitution will doubtless pull him through. In his conversation to-day Rande hus been free in expressing himself about the sanzuinary events of yesterday, though he denies being the actor in the horrible tragedies enacted at Gilson and St. Elmo, in the State of Illinois, during last Auzust and September. Besides reporters, he has been visited by a num- ber of people to-day, and there does not seemnto be auy room for doubting his identity. Among those who called to eee him was Sherifl Hitchicock, of Peoris, who arrived this morning, J. W. Kimsey, Chicf of Po- and Charles McKown, one of the men who was wounded at Gilson. The latter person, whose testimonv is of the greatest importauce, instantly recoguized Rande as the man who did such fearful work with an unerring navy revolver on the Gth of August. On referring to his capture, Rande expressed great regret that he had not killed bothrthe po+ licemen and the pawnshop keeper who aided them, characterizing Lis failure to do so as the worst of his lite He seemed to be proud of the notoricty he had gained, and laughipely said the papers made him as big as the pirates in the New York Weekly. “The papers did not ive me a fair shake,” said he; ‘““they oughe to have iven that oflicer [Hefferman] who guarded me to the station-house particular hell. He is a coward, aud I can whip him, sick as Lam. I would just like to whack him over the head with that chair.” Rande appears to be a well-educated fellow, and is posted on current topics. In speaking of his criminal career, he said: 1 admit that 1 am a ourelar and an adept scholar in rowuery: but I calied it philosoohy. 1 believe inan equal distribution of property, and simply proposed to help to do some of the distribution myseif, T'rebeenagood machinist. a handy man wi penter’s tools, have studied for the ministr: for medicive, and at last found the pro in which tind _the lareest members!

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Loxpox, Nov. 17.—~The Times in its tivancial article says: The moner market assumed a distinctly firmer tone to-day, and thg quotation for taree months’ bills advanced to 3}@+4 per cent, with mot much disposition in some quarters to take them at those firures. Whether the Bank of England is borrowing upor its securities in the open market with a view to diminiching the supply or mot, some extra agency has been at work, for there Is no perceptible increase in the number of bills of- fering. Gold was withdrawn from the bank to- day for transmission to Canada by way of New York, an operation which is not due directly to the New York Exchange being at 4503 and 480. The transmission of eazles would not pay unless the bill involved in the operation could be discounted here at 3 per cent. The remedy which the bank must apply, and probs- biy is applving, is to make such operations un- favorable by keeping the open market rate well above that figure. On *Change all exchanees with the exception of Russian were in favor of this conntry. THE ECONOMIST says: The market rates of discount this week have tended further upward, and to-day (Fri- day) there was a sudden jump, the quotation for three-months? bills being now 33{ to 4 per cent. The bank is reported to be taking money out of the open market against come sols and other securities, the apparent motive for such action having becn the withdrawal of £100,000 worth of gold eacles to-day. The New York Exchange {3 now at 3 point which allows of the export of bar gold from the outer market, and the abstraction from the bank of eagles, the stock of which is believed to be larwe. The renewed and some- what stiff export of old for Exypt, besides the withdrawal for the Contivent, has assisted the isinz tendency of mones. Excepting a decline in Russian stocks and some home rallways, UNUSUALLY SLIGHT MOVEMENTS have to be recorded on the Stock Exchange this week. The settlement engrossed attention at the opening.
