He also stated WASHINGTON, May 3, 1870. ‘The Republicans Preparing for. the Fall Cam- _ Senator Morton, who Is regarded as the leading Party man of the Senate, has prepared a call for a Caucus of the republican members of the two Houses, to be held either this week or the beginning of next week, Ithas already been sigued by all the repub- Moan Senators and is now receiving the signatures of the republicans in the House. The main object of ‘the proposed caucus 1s tomake arrangements for the fall campaign and to appoint a committee of the two Houses to look after the interests of the repubitcan Party in the several States, but more espe- cially the . Southern States. that the goneral poticy to be pursued by the party in its nominating conventions and on the stump ta the Canvass will be mapped out at this meeting. An amportant question to be decided is, how far tne party will allow the subject of the tariff to enter ‘into the campaign as one of the party issies Upon this the republicans are pretty well divided, some believing that it will be best to keep the tariff out of the canvass, while others regard it as an issue of too much prominence ana mored, The indications are that a lively con- test will take place on this question between the Western and Southern members on one side, and the members from the New England and Middic One of the objects Senator Mor- ton has in getting the republicans in caucus is to endeavor to harmonize conflicting factions and to prevail upon them if possible to sink personal jeal- ousies in a general effort to carry the Congressional elections next fall for the administration, It ts not improoable that an eifort will be made to obtain some sort of an understanding anong the mombers of the caucus on the measures now before Congress, the Passage of which are regarded as essential to the #uccess of the party at the polis, Among these are the Funding bil), the revision of the Internat Reve- nue bill, the Georgia bili, the Tariff bill and the bili to enforce tiie provisions o! the fifteenth amendment, Tho Turif’ Debate=Lobbyists on tho Fivor— Interested Members Voting. ‘There was a eharp contest in the House to-day over the Beasemer steel section of the Tari’ bil, pig iron, no paragraph of the bill has met with such vigorous opposition or has been defended with greater pluck and pertinaclty, There has been a quiet, but powerful iobby at work hore for some Weeks in the interest of the half dozen Be-eemer steel Manniactories of the country, anxiously await tng the action of the House onthe recommendations Made regarding 1t by the Ways anda Means Oommitiee, John A.

Mr. Cox, of New York, made the point just before the vote was taken on ihe para- graph and amendments, that there were certain members of the House personally interested in the aatter and that they should not be allowed to vote, The Chair said the members interested must be named by the gentleman making the charge, where- upoa half a dozen members on the democratic side @alied out Mr. Morrell, of Pennsyivania. Mr. Cox called for the reading of the twenty-ninth rule of the House, which says, “No member shall vote on any question in the event of which he is immeaiate'y and particularly interested.” the Clerk, but it did not seem to have any effect upon Mr. Morrell, for he voted every time with the other members.

Tho Fanding Bill to be Amended and Passed. As there are many conflicting rumors concerning the Funding bill, some of them to the effect that no measure of that Kind will be passed at the present eession, it may be stated ina general way thas itis the determination of the republican majority in hoth Houses to pass a Funding bill of some sort. the discussions that have taken place in the Ways and Means Committce, it is inferred that they will repurt in favor of a uniform rate of interest $1,200,000,000, per cent Upon inquiry to-day it tained = that statement that the committee decided yesterday to retain the seventh or compulsory section of the ‘This was one of the first sections in the bill which the committee determined to change, and although the Secretary of - the Treasury has hail fre- quent consultations with the committee on this sec- sion, which he favors, Secretary Bontweil is of opinion thas (he bili will ultimately go to a conference com- Diittee and that four and a half per cent will pe @greed upon for the rate of interest, as a com- promise vetween the Senate and House, regard to the compulsory section, it strength of tho Western members, thaf it would be defeated, even should the leans Committee report favorably upon ce3 are that a compromise will be puroed upon relleying the banks of the tax on their {important Decision by the Supreme Court— Captured and Abandoned Property. i ‘The Supreme Court of the United States has -dle- cided the case of the United States ogainst Edward Padelford, appeal from the Court of Claims.
