C., March 25.—The Jolnt Committea of the Democratle caucus held a long mecting this afternoon and completed the report, which it will submit to the joint caucus to-morrow evening. Senator Sauls- bury presided in the absenre of Senator Thur- man, who Is sick, and Senators Lumar and Voorhees, members of the Committee who have not attended previous meetings, wero present and participated in the disctission. The Committee will recommend that the Army <Anpropriation bill be introduced ex- actly os ft wos passed by the Houso in the Jast Congress, and that the Democrats stand together to put ft through in that shape. The only provision of this bill over which there was any controversy was that proposed by Mr. Hewitt forbidding the use of troops at the polls on any olection-day, or their presence under any pretext. Over this there Is not likely to be much controversy, 28 the Re- publicans do not consider ita matter of much importance, In reporting the Legislative bill the Commit- tee will recommend that the sections providing a now way of drawing jurors, repeailng the test- oath for jurore, and repealing the Federal Elec- tion lawa DE ALT, RETAINED, but that the provision in regard tothe lost be so modifled as to allow two Supervisors, represent- tng|the different potiticat partics,to be appointed for cach poll, but leaving them without any power to prevent frauds. No afilrmative legislation not embodied in tho bills in the last Congress will be recommended, as soma of the Democrats who baye been look- ing up precedents think their position will be stronger If they propose no new laws. They say that no President ever vetoed a bill thas RIMPLY REPEALED STATUTBS, The Domocratte Sonators will hold a caucus to-morrow afternoon, anil the Democrats of both Houses will meet in the evening, The Caucus Committee will report its ianbllity to agree whether there sould he general legisla- tion at this oxtra scsaton of Congress or not. ‘The joint caucus to-morrow night will be one of the most {nteresting meotinga of the kind lately held at the Capital. The Democrats are greatly divided as tu the character of the pollt- feat legislation that shall be undertaken, unt also as tothe method of procedure, ant con- sldcrable excitement has been manifested to- day by partisans of rival plans. ‘The discussion in the caucus ts likely, thergfore, to BE VERY suanP, and {ts outcome ennnot be predicted. Both of the appropriation bilis, after they are reported in the Mouse, will have tobe consilered in Committee of the Whole, under the five- minutes role, when they will be open to all sortsof amendinents. There will be a heavy strain upon the Democrats to keep thelr elim majority constantly in the House, for the tem- porary abscnce of two or three of thefr mem- bers may result in defeating al thelr caucus ar- rangements, AN OFFSET, Iu view of the probability of the repenl of Sec, 2.003 of the Revised Statutes, providing for the usc of troops at the polls under certain condi- tlona, it is understood that the Republicans will submit an amendment making it a criminat offense, punishable by fino and imprisonment, forany eltizen to be found bearlny arma, or to haye arms concealed on their persons, at or near the polls where an election is belug held for a Federal ofliccr. TUR MEETING, To the Western Associated Press. Wasinnatoy, D, C,, March 23,—The two com- mittees appotnted last week by the Democratic caucuses of the House and Senate held another joint meeting this afternoon, and reached a final agreement concerning both the general nature and precise form of their recommendattuns for political legislation during the present sossion. ‘They will recommond that the repeal law au- thorizing the presence of troops at the polls be effected by Incorporating in the Army Ap- propriation bil a copy of the clause agreed to by the House of Roprescntatives at the laat cession; that the Jurors’ tust-oath will be ike. wiso sltnply abolished by the insertion of a re- peating clause in the Legislative, Executivo, and Judicial Appropriation bill, and that the pro- vistona then incorpovated by the House in the same bill amendatory of the Jaw in regard to the mode of impanoling jurora bu substantially readopted by the dominant party of this seston, IN ADDDITION to the two Jast-named clausus, there will bo rec- ammended for incorporation intu the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Appropriation ‘bili (lai- mediately following the appropriation far theex- Denses of the courts) a series of clauses the of- fect of which, If enacted, will be to repcal the existing authority for ths appoloting of Chief Supervisors und Deputy-Marahals for olectiona, and to restrict the functions and powor of the two Supervisors of — different politics, whose ap; bpotntaenit tu the present iman- ner will continue to be authorized, to those of weitmensee and challengers only, ft will also es, provided that these Supervisors must bo ra ents und duly qualificd voters in the precincts where they are to serve. ‘Ihe jurisdic» slon of the Federat Courts to punish euch frauds in elections for Pepresentatives, to Congress as may be aa by the Supervisors or other citizens uot to be interfered with, nor will the caucus be advisea to disturb fn any iwanuer the existing law kuown as the Enforce: iene act, relative to auffrage ‘and other clyil rights, ‘The recommendations ahove outlined will be reported to the Jalnt caucus of the Democratic fnctatiors of the two Houses tu-morrow cven- De A separate eaneun of Nemorratic Senators wilt probably be held to-morrow afternoon alter an early adjournment of tle Senate. WARMING UP. DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTIONARY SCHEMES EX- vosen, Bpertat Dispatch to The Tribune. Wastixatox, 1. C., March 25.—In the Sen- ate Mr. Efoarmadun scholarly speech on the revolutionary character of the contemplated legislation of the Democrats. The arzutnent ehowed the sano general linn ne tliat Ind down in the speech of Eenator Stantey Matthews in the closing hours of the Iast Cougress. Mr. Hoar ts understood to be as near to the Preat- dent now as any other Setatur. Senatur Matthews was supposed to reflect in his epecet the upinions of the President upon the subject atthuttime. IfMr. Hoarin bis argument to- day also reflects the opinions of the President after the lapse of s month, and when the views of the Democratic leaders have becume wore clearly known, it fs impussible to see how the Democrats can expect that the President wilt approve their revolutiauary schemvs, Mr, Hoar to-day, BY WISTURICAL PRECEDENTS, showed that the argiments of Fenator Thurman to prove that the Senate is only on American House of Lorde {s a specious one, oven If '‘Thur- man’s position had been truc. Mr. Hoar dum- onstrated thatat no time elnco 1664 had any- body ventured fo England to threaten to stop. suvplics as a means of coerciny a co-ordinute branch of the Government, In our own day the first attempt was mac in the United States by attachinga tariff bill to an appropriation, At that time Senator Bayard, father of thy prea- ent Senator, Stephen A. Douglas, and many other great Democratic authorities resisted the attempt ds detiance of the rights of the Seuate and AN INROAD UPON TI CONSTITUTION Mr. Hoar's speceh wil) furnish additional texts for the debate which Is certain to ensue in the Sennte os soon as the great contest be- gins, Beck tried to stop any farther debate by moving to table the resolution, but, nend- ing protests against this attempt to introduce ® gay-law in the Senate, an adjournment tuok place. ‘The House held o session of half an hour and adjuurucd. It fs not possible yet to or- ganize the Democrats. New difiiculties arise every day. Io a fillbustering contest, which would be one of the carlicat results ot a dead-lock, the Deniwrrats would find {t almost fmpossldlc to muintain thein- selves, The Republican miuonty, olded by the Greenbackers in acontestot this kind, could divide {nto reliefs, a3 it would not be necessary to have more than forty members present at one tine. That number would be ALI. THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED tocall the roll. Meantime the remainder could be sleeping, but every Democrat would be obliged to bo In his place at each vote, aml could haye no opportunity for rest. For thle reason conservative = Demo- cratic lenders have been endeavoring todevise a plan which would be acceptable to the Greenbackers and to :nedcrate Republicans. In this they are likely to be unsuccessful. There dro no Republicans who do not look upon the attempt to repeal the Supervisor law as an as- sant upon the purity of the ballot, and tn this they feel certain that they ore to be sustained by the President. A dead-lock appears inayitable. The result It fs impossible to forecast, ant ft Is expected thut the radical Bourbon etement in the Demoeracy will obtain control {n the Joint cauette, and that acontost between the Legislative branch of the Government and the Exveutive will soon begin. THE GREENDACKERS, The decision of the Greenbackers to stand to- wether and oppose attaching the proposed po- litical legislation to the appropriation bills has introduced an clement iato the pending contest which the Democrats had not contemplated. If this decision 1s adhered to ft will give the Dem- ovrate but to majority for the measure tn uestion their entire vote beln; bee entocla iis the Speaker. Iv this view of the case, an all summer fight with the Administration fs much easter talked about than carried on. ‘The Re- publicans are preparing to contest the Demo- cratic advance on the laws for houest elections ut every step, both by extaustive debate, which they can easily force, and by all the parliament ary weapons at theircontrol. There fs no dis- sition to yleld anything, and the proposed bis witl only roach the.
