WEAKENING. BOME OF TRE DEMOCHATIC KENATORS GETTING UNEASY. Bpecial Dispatch (o The Tridune. ‘WAsmxnaToN, D, C., Feb, 12.—The plain no- tice zlven by Mr, Hlale yesterday that the Re- pubtlcans would resist the nruposcd polftical THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1) smendinent on the Leglslative Appropriation b, nud throw the responsibility of a called scssfon of Congress upon the Democrats, has created conslderable disturbanco among the Democrats, Whito those In the House sppear to have fully mado up their minds to force those amendments through, und aro supported In this position by a large body of their party in thic Benate, there are a number of Scnators who to-day scem very firm in opposing any steps that will lead to n called sesslun. This opposi- tlon scems to be centering around Bayurd, white Thurmao fs the head of those who deslre to force an extra *sesslon. This subject will come up in Democratic eaucus to-morrow morn- inz, aud Thurman has been active to-day in in- viting full attendance, ropresenting it as ONE OF THE MOST ISIPORTANT MEETINGS that the Democrata will have. Ono of the in- ducements supposcd teinflucnce Thurman for o new scssion fs the hope of election as President ‘pro tem. of the Senate. The Democrats, how- aver, {n a small matter, to-day followed Bayard instead of Thurmun, in an attempt of the lat- ter to make o littlo political capital out of a show of -favor to the Antl-Chincso bill, Sargent had urged the consideration of this weasure to-morrow. Bayard {insisted that, tn the interest of ihe business: of the wholo country, the Revenue blll should first be taken up and disposed of. Thurman &t oLco antagonized Bayard, und argued that a question of the tmportance of the Chinese bl should havo the preferonce. Oa a division, however, though Thurman und his tew Democratie fol- Jowers voted with the Republicans, and 50 car- ried the order for jts assignmnent to-morrow, it was noticed that o large number of the Demo- crats VOTED WITII BATARD, The [ouse Democrats do not cive any signs of weakening on the position they bave taken, and o prolonzed flght s oxpected thero over the matter, which will make an extra scssion almost’| certaln without regard to the action ol the Sen- ate. There are very few still who doubt that the Legisiative bill will eventually fofl s a whole, It is certaln, therefore, that tho sutlera brigade Is rapldly encountering obstacles tn the movemeut foranextra scssion. The conservativo sentiment is fncrensing nmang the 8enate Demo- cratg. Thers are indicatlons of a purposc to disregard the* ediet of the jolnt ®Democratic caucus, aud todecline to be bound to eo-operute to force the repesl of the Federal election legis- lation at the risk of un extra gession, It s Just possible that Senator Thurman, in s ambition to Innuzurate some movement which might re- sult " in makmg hin more conspicuously the fayorite of the bulldozing eloment Bouth, In contradistinetion to Benator Bayurd, has OVERBIIOT HIS MARK, and has permitted himself to bo made a dupe of the sutlers’ brigmde. The few represcntative men of the Democratic purty who know that thera §s something more in statesmanship than oftice-getting, are fenrful of the movement to force’ an extra susslon. Bome of these types bave been eaying to-day that the country has gone on well for many yeara, and it would not 0 to rutn it the clectlon legllatlon should not Ifiu repealed before Decembier next, 'The fact that Depublican Senatora aud members huve announced thitt they huve vo oppositiun ta the repoal uf the teat oath, has surprised end siar- tled the Demdbats uud caused dismoy In the sutter’s camp. Theindications ore that Sehators Bayard aud Kernan, by thelr conscrvatlsim, rep- resont the real eplrit of the mujority of tha Democratie Scnators, rather. than Senator Thurman, ‘The attitude of the latier is only to bo explained ns a pecs of politieal demagogy undertaken with a view to the advancement of Thurman's Presidential nspivations. IN THE HOUSL. TNE LEGISLATIVE APPROIUATION BILL. 8pectal Dispateh 1o The Trivune, WasmNaToN, D. C. Feb, 1%—The House made alow progress with the great Legisiative Appropriation bill. The early moralng scssfon did not appear to facllitate busincas, and for the Tast two days it hns.taken o full hour for the Tlouse to get iteelf out of n wranglo so that an adjournmant has been possible. lnthe bl to- doy there was ono featuro added which will prove to bu of great use to Conwess nnd the country, It was an appropriation providing for a complote jndex of the reports of thy commit. tees of the touse, of the nsmes and subject matter. Such an index has never been made, und oxpericnce has shown thut If It had existed one or two large fraudulent claims inight not nave been pald twice. There aro fow Congreas- men Who know auything of the work of Con- gress anterlor to thelr owa terins of oftice, und the vast storchouso of reports has bitherto beon ontirely unavailable on account of the want of an {udex. A NOTAULE FEATURN of the day wea the weau attempt of Finloy, ot Ohlo, to cut dowa theappropriation for the feed of the borses of the Public Priuter, Finloy, in the course of an jovestigation of the Govern- mout Printing-Office, which ho has puysued {g- uorantly and Incessantly for two years, bas beon unabie to discover auy {raud and sought ta vent his spite on the Public Printer. The House iz- nored Finley's attempt, and oas or twe Demo- crats felt called upon to rebuke him nnd to de- clare thint no word could be sald aainat the p sonal fntexrity of Mr. Defrees. Fort, of 11- Hnols, defled the mousing Committee to bring fnan tnpeachment of Mr. Defrees, and finally Mr. Finley himself was compelled to make a partial apology to the House. There was n littlo more liberality shown toward women clerks, the Committes having consented to {ncrease the number in one burcaw hy five. ‘I'iere was an animated debate ON THH BUBJECT OF MOONSIINING, which arose out of a motan of a Virginia Demo- crat, Cabell, to reduce the approoriation for detecting violations of. the internal revenuo laws from $100,000,t0 $75,000. The Representa- tives of the districts, slogularly enough, in which most of the moonshiuers have been dis- covered und punisbed, were the most earnest in support of this reductlon. Indeed, one of them I8 represented to have writteu ajetter during the campalgn declaring that It was a great outrage on the part of the Goverment to proceed agafnat theso Southern flicit distillers, Gen. Raum, Comnmissioner of Internal Revenue, n the courso of the debate received high com- pliments for his honesty and efliciency from Atkius and Durhsm, of Kentucky, Representa- tives from districts where there has been con- siderable 11lfeit distillation, and n notable exbi. bition of cunergy on the part of the Internal Ravenue Bureat. There was au sttempt on the part of fewitt, s representative of the monometallists of New York, to repeal the law of Iast year which au- thorized the Secretary of the 'Treasury to lssue colu certlficates {n payment of deposits of buil- fon nt inints and assay-offives other than at Ithose in New York and Philadelphia, Iiewitt uvowedly done this on the ground that the abo- Iition of the law would retrench exnenditures in ordor that the amendment *might feem to be in order, snd declored that Secretary Sherman has alroady expended §60,000 for the transportation of this bulliou to the East, and has ASKED FOI AN ADDITIONAL APFROPUIATION of §1560,000 for the coming year, The motion was not successful. o Chlesgo fared badly to-day at the hands of the House in the Legislative bitl. ‘The salary ofs the Bub-Treasurer there was cut down to $4,000, on the ground that the buslness done throueh the Chicaeo Bub-Treasury fa less In maguitude than that at Baltimore and Boston, and that it shoutd ha placed on a pur with Ginclonati nud Bt, Louls, It was In valn that Répresentatives Harrison, ‘Aldrleh, und_Burchard ghowed that the busl- ness of the Sub-Treasurer's oftice for the flscal year was 881,875,000, while ihat of Baitimore was only $17,00,000; of Cincinnat!, £57,000,000; of 8t. Louls, $33,030,000, und of New Orieaos, £18,000,L00. Atkins, the narrow, parsimonlous Chairman of the Appropriation Commlttee, in- sisted that the facts werg different, read from a wrong set of figures, and CONFUSED THE TOUSE and carrfed his polnt. Col, Fort succeeded in showing that the Committes had mude an even further invidious discrimination againet Chi- cnzo from the fact that the watchmen, whicl in Boston ore m*l €840, are nilowed §720 in Chi- cao, and thut'two only are granted to Chicugo while four aro gtlowed "{n Cinclunati on a basis of a third less business, and flve arc allowed ot Naw Orlesus, whero the busliess s only hall a8 much, But Chicozo appeared 1o have no friends on the Committee, nud the reductlon was made. it hardly scems possible that the Chatrman of the Appropriations Committee could really hiave been as fznoraut _of the char- acter and aount of business at Chicago as he showed bimself to be, IN THE BENAT CONGRESSIONAB LIDRANT. 8neelal Dinpatch 1o The Tribune Wasnisaroy, D. C,, Feb, 12—The Scuate was gecupled nearly all the afternoon with prop- osltions for locuting o Céngresslonnl Library bufldiog, ond arrived at the conclusfon that Conpress 18 not ready to part with the library which it has so carefully coliceted, but Is willing to provide more exteusive nccommodations for it in the Capitol Bullding. A vote which really expressed this opinfon wns 40 ngainst 11, and soon afterwards a resolution was adopted with- ont dissent recommitting the subject to tho Committee, with instructions to report a bill providing for the appointment of a Cornmission to prepare plans for the extension of the Cant. 1o, 8o na to afford {nercased accommodation for the Jibrary. Senator Sargent had waited patlentiy all the afternoon for the seftiement of the Nbrary question that he might mako his specch ngalnst Chineso jmunlgration, but the Virginians clafmed, when the time came, that TIE INTERNAL TAX DILL should have preference, This bill, ns passed by the House nud reported to the Henato from its Committee on Finanee, veduced the tax onto- bacco from 24 to 16 cents, and the Southern Henators generally fnsist upon its. enactment, although it fs evident it will bankrupt the Trensury. fndeed, they do not hesitate tode- clura thut before Jong they will have the entire tax on tobacco removed, und if additionat reve- enue should then be required, as it will be, re- enact the odfous incomedox. This af. ternoon, however, they did mot - suce ceed o having the tobacco question made the order of the day for to-morrow, as the Pactile Const. Senntors pleaded earnestly for the consideration of the Antl-Chinese bill, and obtained it. Beveral who voted to take up the Antt-Chinese bill did so to postpone actlon on the tobaceo tax, nud It {s not at all certain that the il propostog the exclusion of the Mongo- llans can bu enact NONINATIONS. A corcful exumination of the exceutive Journals of the Senate shows that {t has been ‘customary sfieo the catabhshment of the Fod- cral Governuent for the President to make nominutiung to il vacaneies to oceur during on ensuing reeess, und in some fustunces during the west kession of Coungress. ‘The Demovrat'e Henators aro disposed to resist all nominations to fill vaenncies to oceur after March 4, for 1he reason that they desire to control the con- firmations, For tliis reuson the question was rafsed in (fen. Banks® case, but, a8 the vacancy to which ha is to be appointed wiil ogeur Mareh 9, no ubjectfon will be made to his¥coniirma- tion, INVESTIGATIONS, MATTHEWS, Brectal Diaputch fo The Tribune, - Wasiixaron, D, C,, Feb, 13.—The Scnate In- vestigatiug Committee in the case of Sunator Btanley Mattnews will hold a final meeting on Saturday, when o report will bo agreed on, whicls It {8 thought will result fn a cowpleto vindltation of Mr, Matthews, ‘Tue only wituess examined by the Committeo during its recent seeslon was Benator Matthews, who cnterod fnto a mipute und detailed explanation of bls connection with Jim Audersou, He was treated . with the greates®feourtesy by Senator Whyte, Denocratic member of the Commiltes, all ro- ports to the contrary notwithstanding, Noth- 1ng was cliclted in his testimony but what has already been published.

SOUTHERN TITEMES, TIE LOVISIANA INVESTIOATION. Speeiat Correspandence of The Tritune. WasiinaToN, D, Feb. 10.~I bad a briet conversation vesterday with Benator Cameron, of Wisconsin, who has recently roturned from Loulslana und South Carolina with the Teller Committee, whero they have been taking testl- mony under the Blatne resolution. The testi- mony Is now bewg printed, and the report which is to accompany o I8 In the course of preparation by Scnator Teller, The cvidence taken fn Loulsiana will make over 1,000 closcly- printed pawes, and that taken fu South Carolina will make balf a3 much more, Bevator Cam- eron speaks fu the highest terms of Scnator Teller as o fine lawyer and & hich-minded gen- tloman, who has discharged the fmportant and dulicate duty assigned bim {u o munner at once creditable to himself und honurable to the Benate, Without golng much into details, the Senator {ufornied me that the genersl fmpres- slon leftupon his mind by what hie saw and heard {n the South durlug the absence of the Commit- teo was thiss thut THE WINTE MEN INTEND TO GOVENN TUAT SECTION, W either by fulr or foul means. 1f they can do it without resorting to harsh methods agalust the blacks they will not ncedicssiy oppress utid liarass the nogro, for they do not wish to drive him out entirely, becauso as s hewer of wood and drawer of water io §s still of great usoto hls indolent uud dependent white brother, But politivs i3 ot only 8 selonce, us Mrs. Jenks do- elared, down in Louistana, but {t {5 one of great industrics, like the growing-of rice, cotton, und sugar, by which peoplo get thelr delly bread, leace, all the people are cogrossed n ft, und, If the colored population get in the way of the white rave, it will bo as bad for them as Stepheusou said It would bho for the cow that should get fn the way of his locomotive, ‘This disposition to rule s the settled purpose of the men of the South gen- erally, and of each separate wnd dlstinct localivy n particular, and, having firmly resolved on 1hils, they will procced to carry out thelr designg ju tho way that suema to them most expedient. 1t 1t Is ueceasary to . KILL AN OCOABIONAL NEGIO, or a number of them, In order to accomplish thetr purposcs, it will be done, or it they can achicve the same result by bulldoxing and in- timidation they will resort to that. Sepator Cameron says that, while many of the witnesses that were called befure them, espocially tho white Democrats, were caroful and uarded in thelr testimony, the people that they fell fnwith Lenpoy his vights under the talked, private conversation, of hullduzing, D1ing, und bullot-box atulling alinost a» freety ns they did of cotton-raising and mule-breeding. ‘This was especially the case in South Carolinn, where the blacks are fn the majority, nud where they would control the political destiny of the State §f they had anvthing ko n fair chance. But the Red 8hirts, White Lieaguers, and other organlzations intended to overawe the colored voter were tou nunerous, too well discintined, awl ton sagressive for bim, and in districts Jargely and notorlously Re- publiean he saw a Democrat roturned to Conuress by the aid of TIE TISSUR-WALLOTY that executed a frecnan’s, but nota freedman's, witl, The Committee found an ocvasional man who ecemed to have sume conscientious scruples ngaint the killlog of negroes, and were rewl tryiog to Invent tnilder and more humane methods for macting the exigencies of the case. ‘Thus Mr., Dawson, editor of the Charleston Naes and Courler, palvely told Mr. Cameron that lie had repeatenly urgzed hla party friends to stop killlng negroes, nnd detlared that ho wus opposed to ft! Mr. Dawson fuily appreci- ated the great necessity of establishing the ns- cendancy of the whito race o the Bouth, asevery other Democrat does who belleses thut they were born torule; but Mr. Dawson's advice, while it was eminently humane and sound, wos not poputlar with the rank und file of uls party, gud they devised other ways and means to keep the negroes from exercising the right of suffrage. I'ie Coninitteo also developed a largg ainount of erookedness In the munner of conducting the eclections, and established the fact thut ballot- hox stufling was almost as common and undis- wufsed as printing the tickets. At one preelnet in Charleston, FOR EXAMPLE, on election day, n tnan connected with a Demo- cratic pewspaper was scen to stufl the box with “little jokers” in the pres ence of the Bupervisors, who madc no effort to restraln him, Other precincta that everybody knew did not contain murathan 200 lepral voters would polf ten of twelve bun- dred vates,—nearly all Democratic,of course. In private conversation with the different menibiers of the Committee sil theee {llezal and fahuman uets were cavered by the plea of neceesity, and men sought to justify themselves by saying that the blacks and carpetbageers had already nearly rulned nud impovorished the State, and thut ihe only cholee left the whitte people wns to emigerate o stay und wreat the control frum fguorant wml inconvetent hands, ‘They say, ton, that If 1he wen of the North were in thele iz, they wonld not subnnt with auy better rrace than thiey doy und TUET MEAN THAT THE NEGIO SUALL SUBMIT fnstead of themselves, 8o it may be set down a8 a sixed fact, Scnator Cameron nnd fhe other Rtepublican members of the Committee think, that the colored man I the Suuth will never onstitution and tawa of the conntry—especially ns to the mate ter of- sulfrage—unicss he the Demo- cratic party. ‘Uhis s the lmp on left upon their minds from observation while proseeating their investizations, and from the nuzure of the testimony that they soon will spread betore the veoole, . After the Committee returned to this city, senators Teller, Cameron, nnd Kirkwood vieited Mr. Huyes and had u long conference witis him in regard to political affales in the South, and especilly with reference to somo of the PEDERAL APFOINTMENTS IN LOUIBIANA. They told the Presideny very plainly that civil service was not of much account in Louisiona, and that he ought to dieplace Smith, Collector of New Orleans, and appolnt 8 mav of tnfluence and courage tn his place, as the colored Reyub- Yeans especially looked to llx_gl oflicer (or advice und encourazement more than any other.
