TUE SENATE CAUCUS. A caucus ofthe Republican members of the Senate was held Wednesday afternoon, imme- diately after the adjournment, Senator Antho. by in the chair. The object of the meeting w: annouaced to be the consideration and ado] tiom of & plan of action for the present session. Senatot Sumner proposed thai general busi- ne<s be transacted as at a regular session. This met with warm opposition from a number of Senators, among others, Messrs. Fessenden, Trumbull. and Uonkling. A second proposition to the effect that the | business be confined to the consideration of the question of recopstruction was defeated. Senator Conkling finally offered a reselution that nothing except that i neces: to re- move ‘be obstructions to the enforcement of tention oi the Senate during the present sion. This was adopted almo-t unanimously, nator Anthony, the chairman. was in- ructed to report such a resolution to the Sena’e on Friday THE TEMPER of the Senate in favor of a brief session was shown by the action of that body per the substitute offered by Mr. Sum- ner to the caucus resolution offered by Mr. Anthony restrictimg the business of the ses. sion to snpplementary legislation enforcing ue reconstruction bill. Mr. Summer made an esrnee! appeal to che Senate to open the door or general legisiation, instancing various mat- | ers of importance that he deemed it essential sbould be dealt with at the present session. The general feeling, however, was that this session was for a special purpose, and that it | was nnadvisable to take up general legislation | unless an emergency should manifest itself making it requisite. The substitute of Mr Sumner fuilea by a of 26 to 6. A ResoLvrion o» Taanxs.—Mr. Schenck, | of Obio, submitted the following resolution, the reading of which excited considerable mirth Reset d.

Mr. Fessenden suggested that the word “should” bad better be stricken out. Mr. Sumner askea if the Senator desited to press the ndoption of that re-olution to-day. Mr. Antheny said he destred its present con- sigeration Mr. Sumner said he would not object to tts eeont coneideration, becauss he wonld not edlecely throw apy barriers in its way, but At the proper time he would have comething tepne on at Th fon is e Chair.—The question is on agreeing to the r-solution. 4g = . Mr. Samner.—Before @ resolution so gpen to criti » so duub'iul in point of order, and so pininiy coutrary to the spirit of the Conati- tution, is brought under consideration, I think the Senator who brings it forward should en- lighten us with regard to ita object, and the reascns in justification of so extraordinary a proposition. I appeal to my iriend to be good enough tolet us know his reasons fur sucha proposition Mr. Anthony supposed the reason was 80 apparent that no explanation was necessary, At the first eestion of the 4eth Congress a re: olution wae passed which contempinted a ses- sion in July, provided Senators and Repre- sentatives, acting upon their individual judg ment, shonid come bere in swiicient numbers to form a quorum; and in the even: a ggorum. ‘Was net presen’. both Housrs sbould then ad- journ without delay. A quoram would noi { buye sssembled had it mot been evident that some amenament was necexsary to the recon- etroction bill. He (Anthony) did not atate this 8 an op nion of bis own. but as an actual fact, which hehad learned in conversation with Senators He believed Congress way here in obeaience to the public sentiment, Pablic sen- tinient demanded that thereshonid bea session to pass an amendatory reconstruction bill, to make that bill’ precisely what Congress in- tended it should be, and not what it had been construed by ihe Attorney Generaj.. Whether 1 | that coustruciion was portectly fait, or mere- ly technical, he (Anthony) not heing a law. yer, would not say: bot be would say that it |, Was not the construction which Congress in- tended. ‘Lhe same purpose which requires Congress to meet for this purpose, requires tha’ it should con tine itself to tbat business. Mr. Sumner said be was unable to learn from Mr. Anthony's remarks any sufficient Tea:on for the passage of ‘rch a resalation. the following: . Resolved, Phat the Senate will proceed under its rules to the dispatch of the public business requiring its attention; and to this end all p: titiens and biliswill be referred for consid- ation to tie appropriate committees, wythont undertaking In advance to limit the action of Congress to any epecial subject and deny a hearing on all other subjects Mr. Sumner proceened to addrees the Senate at length npon this resolution. He contended that there were several important eubjects de- manding attenuon. First, there were thé 1i dian difficultivs, which required great atten- ‘Then there were two very important ies—one with South America and one with in, which had recentty heen concluded, bich required appropriations of mone to carry them into exeen'ion, Mr. Anthony said the Senate eonld not or ginste an appropriation bill, and the House bad adopted a resolution not to consider ang- | thing but reconstruction measures. Mr. Sumner said the Senate could originate uch & bill a would be required in this case. It bed often done so: but more important than Any otber subject was the hill for universal suffrage. designed especially to protect tbe ireedmen in Maryland and Kentuexy. Mr. Pomeroy did not hel:eve it woald be wise to pase Mr. Antbony’s resoiution, al- though he was not in favor ef entering into geueral legislation, It was not known what emergency might arise while Congress was in session. "- Mr. Yates desired to say that hedid not wish his vote ip tavor of Mr. Anthony's resolution to be construed as indicating opposition to un- iversn] suffrage or other necessary legislation, but be did rot thinkit would be well to pro- ceed with that subject now. Congress met for & particular object, and he was in favor of cenfining its attention to it at the present eession, Mr. Wilson said be this morning called upon the Sejrtary of War, and in conversation with that officer learned that there would be vo neceesity whatever for legisintion designed to affect the War Department, except a single maiter, which the Secretary would send in on Monday. and that was an appropriation to carry ont the reconstruction act in the South- ern States. Mr. Sumner again took the floor in opposi- tion to Mr. Anthony’s resolution. He urged the passage of the suffrage bill to carry equal Tights into Maryiang, Kentucky, Cannecticut, Penneylvanis, and (bio and all other States. It was neeiecs to assert that there was a repub- lican form of government where suffrage was denied fo men on account of color. Mr. Ross, while agreeing with the general proposition tbat nothing not absolutely neces- «ary should be taken up, was opposed to Mir. Anthony's resolntion because ne believed it necessary that some legislature should be in- augorated to quell the Indian disturbances in the West. A great many things were required to be done to suppress Indian hostilities, which could not be done without the concur- rence of Cougress. Mr. Tipton spoke of the necessity for legisia- tion to put an end to the frontier disturbance: 1f he could con:rol the legisiarion of Congress to-day, he world prevent any ariny officers from going weit of the Missouri river: he would offer a premium for cavage Indian calps. and he would authorize the formation of volunteer force on the frontier Mr. Wilson was sorry to hear Mr. Tipton speaking of offering a premium for Indian scalps. He did not ese such Iinguage fit to be uged in this christian eountry. Lt created the impression that the wrongs were not all committed by the Indians, He repeated that the Secretary of War bad intormed bim that no legielationfon the «ubject of the Indians ‘was necessary . Mr. Tipton reenmed the floor in denuncia- tion of the atrocities of the Indiana on the frontier, and again boped there would be a re- ward offered for Indian scalps, Mr. Pomeroy moved that the further consid. eration of this subject be postponed, to enable the Senate to take up the resolution of thanks to Gen. Sheridan just passed by the House. Mr. Semner said if Mr. Anthony's resolu- tion was passed the Senate could not act upon the resolution of thanks to Gen. Sheridan. Mr. Conkling —That resolution reters only to legistative business, Mr Sumner —This is legislative business. Mr. Grimes said Mr. Anthony's resolation Would not prevent the Senate from acting upon business coming here from ibe House. It only referred to euch as originated in the Senate. As‘to the reeolution of thanks, he thoaght Gen. Sheridan wouid appreciate it more highly if i Se preety ee sidered Ct ® committee of y than it it was pushed throu, Senate without such consideration. ie Pee fr. Antbony asked leavé.which wasgranied to invert the word legislative belore the word business, in his resolution. * Mr. Buckalew contended that the resolution concerning General Sheridan was mesely a goncurrent resolution, not requiring the signa- ture of the President, and not of a legislative crm, Howard, while indore rr.

His cotleagué bad been en- tirely mistaken about Mr Grover; he had never been arrested for treason. Mr. Jones bad been so arresied—as many others had beew—but had been discharged without any charge being preterred against him. Mr. Dawes moved that the protest and the motion be referred to the Committee on Elec- tions. He had no hesitation in saying for him- seif, as 8 member of that committee, that it he fouud there was nothing affecting the qualifi- cations of any of ‘he Kentucky members, he ‘would report back his credentials to ihe Honure. Mr. Wood expressed the hope that the Com- mittee on Elections would report as soon as possible, and durmg the present session, the Tesult of its investigations to the Honse. It was wrong to disfranchiee a State on mere rumor. Mr. Willams expressed the idea that the committee should cenfine its investigation: for the present to the question of the qualifica. tions of the members preseating their creden- { nals passed to Joint resolutions of thanks were Major Generals Sickles, Pope and Scofield. Mr. Dawes agreed with Mr. Williams on that point. When 4 man presented his credentials he would not carry the investigation farther than as to whether that man was qualified to hold his seat. Mr. Bingham repudiated altogether the doc- | trine that any member, by bis sprech, could | exclude the entire delegation of Ohio by an | aseertion thar it was reported that the election had been improperly conducted. i After furtlfer debate the protest and motion: were referred to the Committee on Elections.
