THE CAUCUS YESTERDAY. The Republican Senators held a caucus of | some honrs yesterday, in which the question of reconstruction and the time for an adjourn- ment of Congress weve discussed. ‘The sentiment of the cancus was unani- mously against the thind section of the recoay struction measures, atleast no voice was raised, in its behalf. Various substitates for the third section ‘were discussed; but the proposition most favored was one exclnding from holding Fed- eral office those who deserted the United States Congress and ammy and navy to take Ppart.in the rebellion; aleo, the members of the Con- federate Congress, the Confederate Cabinet, Confederate diplomatic’ agents, Confederate military officers of the rank of Major General and Brigadier General, and Vonfederate nayal officers of the higher grade, &c. It was claimed that the reconstruction meas- ures, modified in some such manner, could be passed in the Senate by the reqnisite two- thirds vote, and something to spaze. Concerning an adjournment, the current feeling seemed to be in favor of remaining in session untilthe middle of Judy, unless the leading business of Congress is soomer dis- THE TRIAL OF JEFF. DAVIs. The paragraph going the rounds of the news- papers under the authority of “it is stated,” setting forth that a new indictment against Jefferson Davis has been drawn up in the At- torney General's Office since Mr. Speed’s re- turn to Washington, and that Judge Under- wood's indictment will be withdrawn and the new one substituted, we have the best author- ity for saying is ineorrect. Although some ehange may Le made in the indictment pre- sented by the grand jury of Norfolk. there is Bo reason to believe that another will be sub- stituted, it has been stated that the trial of Jef. Davis will commence on the Ist of June at Richmond. We are satisfied that it will not «commenced for at least four months after the Ist of June. So much for rumors. FREEDMEN LEAVING TEXAS. General Sprague, Assistant Commissioner ot the Freedmen’s Bureau in Arkansas, forwards to the Commissioner, under date of 15th inst.. & communication from Capt. Abell, a super- tntendent of the Bureau in that State, which says that freedmen are coming in almost daily trom Texas, in a destitute condition, and report that anarchy and despotism reign there: many are driven from their homes and families, and many have been shot and hung for expressing a desire to enjoy their rights as freemen, The General, in concluding his letter, Says that it is very probable the report is « ng, he is of the opinion that‘) ig” siteragh Gone Abell bas never showr, _ disposition to repeat sensational rumors, ———— THE U™{ON DEAD AT HAMPTON, VA. The ‘workmen engaged in collecting and burying the soldiers and civilians who died in the service in*and about Hampton, Va., report to Lieut. Col. Moore, A. Q. M., that they have thus far exhumed and reinterred in the cem- etery at Hampton the remains of about four thousand men.

Information was given the detec. tives, and a warrant was issued to Sergeant Reed, on duty with the detective force, who with detectives Clarvoe and McDevitt, went to the bouse, and after investrgating the circum- stances, obtained very strong evidence of the guilt of the servant girl. She, however, per- sisted in denying the theft of the gold, but ad- mitted the si g of Anumber of handker. chiefs, which she hid in the bath room, and 3 colored servant saw her havea piece of gold exactly similar to the Spanish doubloons.
