The republican Senators held another caucus this morning and discussed the tax-reduction bill, or, rather, the policy of giving it precedence over all other measures of business. In a former cau- cus a sort of tacit agreement was reached that the tax Dill should have priority, but this morning it was found that some republican Senators were of a different mind. Some of them declared in favor of passing appropriation bills in preference to others, and some open opposition to the tax- reduction’ bill was expressed. s Mr. Morrill, who has charge of the tax Dill urged the tmportance of passing it, an¢ was, it is said, sustained by several other prominent Senators; but the caucus would not, and did not, assent to that view, though no formal vote was taken. Mr. Logan expressed his intention to antagonize the bill with ‘a motion for an executive session, and Mr. Hale urged the importance of considering the naval appropriation bill After the Senate met, Mr. Morrill moved to go on with the tax bill, and Mr. Logan antagonized it with a motion for an executive session.

Wilcox, of Portland, Oregon, who was on the stand when the court adjourned last evening: was recalled by Mr. Bliss, and 1dentified a copy of a letter sent by himself ta ex-Senator Dorsey. ‘The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Ingersoll. He sald the copies of the letters did not contain all that the letters contained, but only the por- tions the witness thought important to retain, He wrote the letters because he had been doing some work for Mr. Dorssy; he had sub-let two con tracts, and got up petitions ‘Yor Mr. Dorsey on three routes. He did not get up falsehoods about the Eugene City route, which he did not consider square and honest. AN OBJECTION SUSTAINED. Mr. Ingersoll asked witness if he had not ad- vised against expedition on one of the Dorsey Toutes and the discontinuance of another, but objection was made and sustained. ‘ME. CHANDLER'S POINT. Mr. Ingersoll sybmitted to the witness copies of two letters, which the witness said he had received from Mr. Dorsey. The witness having identified a newspaper article as one referred to in his letters fo ex:Senator Dorsey the question was ralsed by Mr. Chandler as to the pertinence or propriety of admitting evidence as to actions of the witness in Oregon and not in the District, which, if they had any effect or fruit, it was in’ the petitions fled here in the department. THE COURT SAID that it had been ruled that the conspiracy could be proved by circumstances. 3 Mr. Bliss stated that he was re-examining the witness upon matters brouzht out by Mr. Inger- soll. As the defence had opened the question as to what the witness had done, the court permitted the re-direct examination ag to the actions of the witness, WHAT ME. BLISS PROPOSED TO SHOW. Mr. McSweeny having called upon Mr. Bliss to state what they proposed by producing the news- Paper article, Mr. Bliss stated that he propose’ to show that, under the direction of Mr. Dorsey, the witness wrote many articles, some of which he succeeded in having printed in the papers; that he wrote the article in question, got. David New- sum, a well-known resident of that section, to sign it, then sent the article to Dorsey with its history, and that Mr. Dorsey filed ttin the department as an expression of public opinion in favor of secur- ing the expedition. THE COURT RULES AGAINST IT. ‘The court said that the truth of the article had not been impeached, and he ald not consider tt competent evidence, as It was perfectly legitimate to hove articles published in the newspapers and to get up petitions. ‘The prosecation charged in the indictment that the conspiracy was formed for the purpose of ‘auding the government by Tavans of false petitions, aMdavits, and publica 1s. They now propose to prove that the witness s employed by Dorsey to get up papers that Ww. state the truth and advocate the expedition of the roul by the publication of the truth. “I don't iJuige Wylie, “how that teads to expe- Gite this ease. sald then that they proposed to show ticle did not stats the truth.

Alter a long discussion, Juige Wylie having de- clined to adinit testimény as to the witness? actions prior to May 232, 1879. except {t_ purported to prove a pre-existing conspiracy, the witness Was excused from the stand. A COLORADO LAWYER CALLED. Thos. G. Putnam, a lawyer, of Denver, Col, was next called to the stand and testiiled to having conducted a sult in 1880, for Frank x Wilcox against ex-Senator Dorsey. He had then in_his possession fetters from ex-Senator Dorsey to Wil- cox, Which witness parted with In May, 1881. Wil- cox’s clatin inst. Dorsey was for about $300; Dorsey Was represeated by C. W. Tankersly a8 his attorney. Witness delivered the letters to Chas. W. Wright, an attorney, Witness had coples made of them before he surrendered them. ‘At It appeared the copies were not made by him, but in his presence, the question was raised that he Was Incompetént to prove them as correct coptes. After some discussion, Mr. Bilss withdrew his uestion for the present, and Chas. 8. Brown, of ‘nver, who assisted In’ copying the letters, was called to the stand. ANOTHER RULING BY JUDGE WYLIE. Mr. Bliss offered in evidence one of the letters copied by the witness. Objections were made that the date was prior to the alleged conspiracy; that there was po proof that such letters were ever written by ex-Senator Dorsey, and that the substance of the letter was immaterial, After a long discussion of the objections Judge Wylie ruled that {t must. be proved that the letters were written by S. W. Dorsey before they would be ad- mitted. ‘The court then took a recess. AFTER RECESS. Mr. Putnam was recalled to the stand, and pro- duced telegrams received by him from Woodward & Woodward, Wilcox’s attorneys in Oregon, in- See as to proceedings regarding the suit against Dorsey. An objection was made to the admission of the telegrams, which was argued at length. MR. MERRICK’S PROTEST. Mr. Merrick, while arguing for the admission of the telegrams, protested against interruptions, against guffawing. ‘This 1s a serious case,” he said. “This 1s not a fiddling case, as Mr. McSweeny said yesterday. TI object to this mininizing the case, Which 13 the strongest position the other side can take. Itis a case in which the palate ment has danced while the people have paid half a oe @ year for the music made by the other e” Judge Wylle decided to admit the telegrams which were replies to queries from Mr. Putnam to Kore him to settle the case and take coples of the letters, JOHN A. WALSH CALLED. John A. Walsh was then called by Mr. Bliss, and the announcement of his name caused a little stir in the court, some of the defendants who were out bs a court-room coming in to hear what he had say. The erier announced that Mr. Walsh had gone to Mr. Hine’s office. While waiting for Mr. Walsh, Cyrus Marks, of Pueblo, Colorado, a clerk in the post office there, was called to the stand. ‘The witness was examined as to etme of the depar- ture and arrivals of mails at blo. Walsh’s Story as Teld in New York. Mr. Thos. A. Walsh, who was recently before the grand jury of this District in gonnection with the star route frauds, has been interviewed at length in New York. He is quotéd as exhibiting drafts which were paid on account of services in connec- tion with the star routes, He (Walsh) also exhi- bited checks paid, as he alleges, to A. C. Buell, by order of Brady, for services purporting to have been rendered by Buell before the sub-committee of appropriations. He exhibited other drafts to the amount of Gen.
