WASHINGTO! Secret Caucue of the Repub- lican ‘Senators. ATTACKING THE “POLICY.” Oorkling, Cameron and Oglesby ‘Venting Their Wrath, THE PRESIDENT’S POSITION. Warm Debate in the House Over the Army Bill. GARFIELD’S WARNING Attempts to Limit the Forces to Twenty Thousand Men, FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, ‘Wasutxaron, Nov, 10, 1877, WHAT THE MERTING OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS DEVELOPED—ANTAGONISM TO THE PRESI- DENT AND HI3 POLICY-—-SECRECY OF THE DEBATERS, Mr. Conkling committed the tmprudence to-day of getting the republican Senators together in caucus, This was imprudont, because the excited discussion only widened the breach. Tho President was savagely attacked, but he was also vigorously defended, and as a whole the, result is « more decided division than it was betore apparent among the repudlican Sonators, The Administration can count now upon the support of at east ten republican Senators, with a probability of more whon tho test comes, and tho struggle to-day undoubtedly ended advantageously to the President. Itis quite possible that be may soffer annoyance of various kinds, as weil as moro or Jess delay in tho confirmation of his appointments, but the malcontents area minority in. the Senate and they can no longer count on the help of the democrats, Tho vigorous discussion in the caucus showed that a majority of tho republican Sonators are opposed to the Southern policy as well as to the Civil servico rules of the President, ‘he debate con- Unued with groat spirit for nearly five hours. 1t was Primarjly upon the subject of the question of con- firming somo of the President’s nominations tor ju- Gicial and executive positions in the Southern Stat but it took an oxtended rango and ‘involved the entire question of the President’s courso fince his inauguration and the election complica- tions in Louisiane, which rosaited in his elevation to the Presidency. Senator Conkling is understood to have placed emphasis upon this latter point in ‘he vigorous speech mado by him to the caucus, re- \terating his previously expressed opinion that the \itle of Mr. Hayes to the Presidency was inforior to that of Mr, Packard to the Governorship, ot Louisiana, and that tho Prestdent has acted in bad faith with the mon to whom he owes his success. He \s also understood to have taken tho most positive grounds aginst the ctvil service role of the President. prohibiting federal offlce-holders from taking an activo part in the management of conventions, This attack on the administration was met by Mr. Stanley Matthews, Mr. Christiancy, Mr. Dawes, Mr. Hoar and two or three others, while Messrs. Howe, Hamlin, Mitchell, Wadieigh and others gave it their approval \n cither general or specific terms, Tho norination of John Baxter, of Tennessee, to succeed Judge Emmons as Judge of the Sixth Juaioiai clroult, was ono of the mMattera to which tho bat the Principal topic discussed outside of the civil ser- vico order, before reforred to, was the appoint- ment of democratic Marabals in Southern districts, whose power in elections for Congressmen and Presi ential elections, it was urged, would be used to ac- complish partisan ends and would operate against the rights of tne republican colored voters of the South. Tho caucus has, produced no result but dis- cord, The discussion 18 evidently not done with, A double seal of sogrecy’ was enjoined ‘upon every Senator present, and the results of the session are kept with a closeness scarcely ever known in the annuals of Congressional caucuses. Senator David Davis was not present, He does not believe in” caucuses, Senator Burnside was also absent. ATE ER PRR TREO FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasuixatox, Nov, 10, 1877. {MPORTANT REPUBLICAN CAUCUS—THE SEN- ATOES DISCUSS THE PRESIDENT’S SOUTHERN POLICY AND HIs CIVIL BERVICE PLAXS— OGLESBY’S WRATH, The republican Senators stolo a march upon the gossips generally and gave Washington a surprise and @ sensation to-day by getting quietay into caucus ‘without letting the public know of their intentions, apd then discussing in a warm dobate of ovor five hours the attitude of the republican mojority in the Benate toward the Prosident in connection with bis Soothern and civil service reform policy and his official nomioations, The meoting was callod to order by Benator Anthony, who presided as chairman. It was attended by nearly every republican®sonater in town, Inclusive of Messrs, Booth and Christiancy. The prin- cipal absenteos were Messrs. Blaine, Burnside and Sharon.” It assembled at noon and remained in ses- sion until after five o’clock. The caucus was called at the suggestion of Senator Conkling for the purpose of determining whethor there ‘was bot a common ground on whien all the republican Sonators, whatever might be the shades of difference in their opinions and views of tho political sitgation might meet and act in concert with each other and in harmony with the President. Its object ‘was also to allow of a genoral discussion and expres- sion of opinion, not only upon the gonoral situation, but also concerning the more special questions arising out of appointinents by tho Executive, as affectea by the civil service order, and the privilege of the differ- ent State delegations in making recommendations and controlling official patronage, The proceedings at tho start wero not of tno most amicable character and wore pervaded by the exhibition of considerabte fecl- ing, until about three o’ciock, whon Senator Dawos took the floor and spoke for about an hour vohemently and earnestly in supportol the President, Taking up the championship for the President, which, he claimed for Massachusetts, he detended the course of the Executive warmly and persistently. the effect of bringing to his {cet Senator Oglesby, who bas been nursing tor some time his vexation and indignation éver tho action of President Hayes in the matter of appointments in Chicago, rejecting those recommended by the delegation and selecting outside persons over their heads, as the representatives of lilinois have complained. This was elicited from the fact of arefusalon the part of the President to nominate ag Collector of the Vort of Cni- cago Mr. Shoridan Waite, who was recommended by Senator Oglesby, and the selection of the present in- cumbent, Nr. Smith, who ts not wanted, it is sald, by the people of Chicago and certainly not by the machine Fepublicans, SenatorfOglesby’s speech was bitter and emphatic in the extreme, and so loud and thandering was his voice in certain parts of his denunciations that ho could be easily heard through the halls of the Senate. For some time post 8 has mace no disguise of his determination to resist, as far as practicable, what ho considers the encroachments upon his pre- Fogatives, ‘The most important and suggostive matter thus dis- cussed by the caucos was whether the Senste should take ground that what is called “the courtesy of the hould be insisted upon, ors Conkling and Cameron were conspicuous in ventilating each Other’s opinions on this subject, and Senator Oglesby, who is usually a timid and cau- tious man until he opens, and will not lead off, gave no Uncertain sound of a ready second to the position | taken by Mr, Conkling averse to what is stigmatized This had |*pok 5 NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, ‘NOVEMBER ll, 1877.-QUINTUPLE SHEET. as the “arbitrary exercise of the executive power by Vresident Hayes,” The majority of the Senators, Lut not ail, are plainly determined on a declara- Ven ‘of war unless * certain terms of compromise and concession aro obtained from the President. No positive wish was expressed by the mutineers to fall out with @o Pregideut, but they were dotermtved not to give up what they called “the time honored custom of cach Senator being con- sulted im regard to the appointments in his State,’” But no positive vote was taken, apa hence no definite action was agreed upon, After adjournment Senator Stanley Matthews took the arm of Senator Oglesby, the most proveked among the indignant, and marched him off pleasantly to lunch In tho Senate refectory. Of covrae Washington is all agog to-night to learn. what wasdone im the caucus. The proceedings wer kept 80 much asecret that they aro almost a scaled book; and even the democratic Senators, who aro dying with curiosity to know what took place, confess generally that they have been unable to find out any- thing definite, it is admitted that the caucus wound up with a better teeling than pre- vailed inthe earher stages of the session—a result due to the carrying of a motion, made near the close by Senator Conkling, that in a!l matters political tne republican Senators would vote asa unit, and that as respects confirmation of the President’s appolotments the Seuate would ratity them whonever they were con- sistomt with the President’s promises of civil sorvice reform, and were not the complements of removals made without good and sufMcient cause, On this. broad and glittering gencratity the caucus ended its mecting guiletly und apparently barmoniousty. MR, HEWITI'S COLN KITCHEN, Mr. Hewitt’s propozition to teach the people of Europe to eat Indian corn bas met with widespread if not enthusiastic commendation, The novelty, if not the mngenuity of the idea, as a factor in the enlarge- ment of our domestic exports, strikes tho merchants with great force, and Mr. Hewitt 1s in receipt of many letters {rom them. encouraging the project and ofter- 1ng practical aid in seeing it carried out, ASSISTANT SECRETARY M'CORMICK.

Tho Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections met this morning to furiher consider the Spofford- Kellogg case, All the members were present oxcept- ing Senator Hill, of Goorgia. Senator Hoar oxpressed a desire to examine thoroughly some propositions which had been submitted by Senator Wadleigh, whereupon, without coming to any definite conclusion as to the scope of the investigation, the committee adjourned until Monday next, At tho meeting of the Committeo‘on Privileges and Elections to be held on Monduy next tho following resolutien will be submitted by Senator Hoar, of Mas- ‘That aftor hoaring auch ovidence ax the com- m competent, the committee will rey its conclusion Firat- ‘ere the per turning Board alono ator at the time Mr. h. an election held on the 10th of January, 18) Third—Did the Keturning Bourd act trauauiently in de- termining the question to whom they sheuld issue certifi- | apeipores who voted in the election Dersons us would in. fact have d to have seats by the respective houses ir and just trial and tue decision of each c: on its THE PACIVIC BAILROADS. The Sonate Judiciary Committee, ata special mect- ing this morning, beard arguments from Horace White, of Chicago, representing the Kansas Pacific Railroad Company; Edward Atiingon, of Boston, in behalt of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and J.

The Consul Gonoral of the United States at Cairo has forwarded to the Department of State a copy of tho convention concluded on the 4th of August last between the governments of Great Britain and Egypt for the suppression’ot the slave trade within the countries ruled over by the Khedive. The conven- tion is embraced within seven articles, in which are recited the usual formalities attendant upon the draw- ing up of such instruments. The powers and privi- leges granted by the Egyptian government to Britisn cruisers to visit, search, detaln, &c., suspected Egyp- tian vessels aro very full, the “law’s delay” in tho trial of slavers short and the punishment severe. Wherever tho word ‘‘slaves’’ occurs in tho convention it is immediately qualified by the words “Africans and Abyssiniavs,”? which qualification, it would seom, was intended to exclude from the terms of that instrument tho Circassian and Georgian female slaves, who aro purchased in Constantinopte by middie and higher classes in Egypt and held in the harems under tho designation of tervants or wives, These ‘‘corvants,’”” with whom the m live in a state of concudinage, and who are only limited in number by the desire and woalth of the purchasers, aro really slav bat it is clear from the wording of the convention that whilo the severest measures will be adopted tor the suppres. sion of African and Abyssinian ery, the Oriental system whion condemns the beautiful white women of Georgia and Circassia to lives of slavery and concubi- nage will not be interfered with in any manner what- ever, OUR TRADE WITH GERMANY. The Consul General of tho United States at Berlm, in continuation of his reports on the oxtension of gur ‘trade in Germany, has forwarded to the Departinent ot State a communication concerning articles of American manufacture in that market, These articles way bo classed under threo headings—viz., those which find ready sale, those which can be mado salable by proper efforts and those which are unsalavle, First, salable articles:—Fine castings, bronzed or maroon colored; bi it drills and wrenches, circular saws (although dearer than the German butchers’ saws), try squares, trowels, plumbs and levels, augurs and augur bits (although dearer than the German), mouse and rat traps, door bolts, cast iron stable fittings, shovels, hickory handles, chi file and augur handles; oil stones and grind- stones, padlocks, box scrapers, can opencrs, gos pliers, mining’ koives, shoo brustos, !eather, boots and shoes, prossed glassware, Our agricuitural im- plements hi Jong been favorably roceived, but re- cent imports of inferior artwles have injured this branch of the trade, The following articles are steadily gaining In the market:—Hickory wheeis, and wheel rims, known as “bent work; winamiils, vontilatore, steam pumps, gasfittings; toys, for their ingenuity; portable stéam en- gines, from two to four horse power; wood- working machivery, cheap motal clocks, housekeep- ing and kitchen utensils, especially novelties. Sec- ond, articles that can be made salabie:—Woodqn planes, by altering shapes; wrought iron hinges, by lowering the price; scythes, by conforming to the re- quired shapes; machines for making tacks and nails and cheap furniture, especially chamber sets, by propor eflorts, Third, unralable articles:—Hand- saws, owing to their shape; back and panel saws, too high priced to compete with tho Fronch, who control the market; draw knives, chisqle, gouges and plane irons, too high to compete with the English, who con- trol the market; coopers’ tools, not the required shapes; cast iron hinges, harness and boilor rivets, and horse brushes, too dear; currycombs, too light, and sowing machines, AMERICAN PRODUCTS IN AUSTRIA, The Consul General of the United States at Vienna has addrossed a report to the Department of State on the subject of fostering the exportation of articos of American production, in which he makes the novel suggestion that tho patent laws should be so amonded as to give any citizon tho privilege to manytacture an article which is patented by our laws and to export the same to any country Whore it is not protected, so to enter freely into competition with foreigners iu the open markets, * Mr. Post’s argument is that, under the prosent system the inventor, having tho monopoly Vo-the United States government of a vast home trade, exacts large royalties or de- mands high profits, greatly in excess of the cost of profitable manufacture; that he is careless of torei; trade and unable or un- willing to relinquish «any of bis = large profits on the sale of his productions for exportation; that this invention is consequently imi- tated abrond and sold in foreign markets at a loss price than in America, although, perhaps, costing more to make there than bere; that in time the foreign Imutative manufacture becomes prosperous; that when the American pateut expires our manufacturers find themselves distanced inthe race of free competivion by profitable foreign industry which bas sprung up un- der the direct influence of home monopoly, and that this state of things could be remedied by permitti tree competition im home productions of patented articles for export to countries where they are im- Ported, inasmuca as their manufacture can be better and choaper conducted tn the United States, aud tho foreign trade, which the inventor neglects or will not wecure while his bome monopoly lasts, could thus be coutrolied im the interest of Americans irom the out- set. An iliustration of the working of the system is shown in the case of (he sewing machine trade. The profits of the home manufacturers rangod from 100 to 200 per cent while the monopoly lasted, aud the foreign royalty, although not 80 excessive, was still high enough to cause the mdustry to spring up and become rooted in those parts of Europe where protection was free, Now that the patent has expired the American producer finds too Jate that he has built upa powerful trade by his protective system and that competition now can only be, carried on under unfavorable conditions, Tho fault lies, as Mr. Post thinks, in the Patent law itself, If the mght to “uso and veou’? alone were granted as an American monop- oly it would cover all that can be conceded within American jurisdiction, ‘he aadition of the exciusive right “to make” neither strengthens the inventor's home rights nor confers any fuvor upon him with re- spect to those foreign countries where ho scquires no right. Under local law any one cag make wnd vend bis Invention there, and Mr, Post draws the conciu- sion that the American Patent law simply binders ative manujactures from competition abroad and develops foreign industry at tne expense of ont national production, He aavocates its amendment, £0 as to open the way to foreign competition without altering the juventor’s home rights, IMMIGRATION STATISTICS, Oficial returns made to the Bureau of Statistics show that during tho month cndod October 31, 1877, there arrived at the port of New York 5,208 immi- grants, of whom 2,91$ were m: and 2,290 females, Of the total arrivals there were from England, 1,238; Scotland, 187; Wules, 13; Ireland, 735; Germany, 1,€83; Austria, 193; Sweden, 144; Norway, 43 mark, 56; France, 201; Switzerland, 106; Spain, 22; Lualy, 282; Holland, 59; Belgium, 20; Russia, 72; Po- land, 18; Hungary, 72; Sictly, 12; Pern, 7; ¥intang, 3; Turkey, 1, Greece, 2; Qaebec and Ontario, 5; New Brunawiok, 1; Nova Scotia, 6; British Columbia, 1; Newfoundland, 2; Central America, 4; United States of Colombia, 6; Uruguay, 1; Bermuda, 2; brivish West Indies, 1; Cubs, Hayt:, Jamaica, Armenia and New Zealand, 1 each; Australia, 3; born at sea, 2.

Benyen, of Georgia, convicted of baving mado false entries in the books of a cortain national bank and sentenced to ve years’ imprisonment. ’ “IUREPRESSIBLES” ANXIOUS TO TALK, Sara C. Spencer, of thia city, applied fora hearing before the Committee on Privilt and Elections this morning, and upon being admitted expressed a desire thatthe committee would designate a day at which time they would hear tho argument of a defegation from the Woman's Suffrage Society. She was in- formed that the committee would consider her re- quest and advise her whon they would hear such argument, but that it would be impossible to do so until after the Senatorial contests now betore the committea were finally disposed of, DEBATE ON THE ARMY BILL. "i Wasuixorox, Nov, 10, 1877, Mr, Baxnixa, (dem.) of Ohio, asked leave to offer a Fesolution directing tho Military Committee to.in- quire into the total namoer of officers and enlisted men {n the army on the 18s of July, 1st of Soptomper and tho let of November, 1877, and where such men have been employed during the prosem fiscal your; the number and raok of all officors on tho retired jist, the number and rauk of all officers on the active lst and to what dutiés they are assignod, the number and rank of those officers absent on leave, the number and location of ail posts and forts, the condition of affuirs on tho Mexican frontior, the number ana character of the troops on that frontier, the conduct of military operations there and whether avy additional military protection ought to bo provided for the defence of the border against Indians and Mexicans, aud giving the commitieo au- thority to send for persons and papors. Mr. Lonoke, (rep.) of Mich., objected to the clause authorizing the Commitiee to send for persons and papers.

Mr. AtxtNs, (dem.) of Tenn., chairman of the Ap- proprmuon Cummitice, sent to the Clerk’s desk and Dad read a communication from the Adjutant General relerring to Mr. Atking’ speech on Thursday in which he stated that the Socretary of War had given the number of troops 1 service on the 30th of October as 21,863, ond that he had sept a despatch to the Adja- tant General requesting more definite information, to o reply. ‘The Adju- did sond a tele- graphic repiy to this despatch giving tue number at 21,902, and saying 4 it had been increased by 539 since bis communication of the Buih of Octovor, woreb, with the 400 in the Signal Servico corps, would make the whole number 22,302, Mr. Atkins went on to say that the despatch said to have becn sent by the Adjutant Genoral had not been received and that there was no trace of it in the impression book of tue tolegraph operator at the Capitol, and he called atten- tion to the Inet that since the draugné of tho bill had been commenced the army had been increased by over five hunared men, without authority of law and with- out any appropriation for Fecruiting. would not make any comment upon this fact; it bore ite own comment.

THE ARMY AN EX:CONYEDERATE GENERAL'S PLAN TO CONTRACT THE ARMY AND ORGANIZE A FED- ERAL MILITIA. Ricraonp, Va., Nov. 9, 1877, Tho discussion in Congress yesterday as to the ex- pediency of increasing or decreasing the army, couse- quent upon the Introduction of tne Army Appropria- tion bill, shows that evon in the South thore is quite a Civersity of opinion on that subject. This led me to ask this morning the views of an ex-Contedornto gen- eral, who is at present very prominently connected with the Military Department of the State of Virginia, antl who devéloped a somewhas novol army system jor the country. “Is it your opinion that the army ought to bo in- creased f’’ 1 askea, “It is wrong to increase the army. It ought to bo cut down, Relieve it from guard duty at the forts and arsenals of the United States and put every man in the fleld in active service, and it is moro than ample, ‘Tho experience of tho last ten years in tho South shows that tho federal central power cannot bo trusted with a large military force, and the events of last sum- mer demonstrated that the State militia have been allowed to fall into such weakness and contefpt that it ts aseless In emergency.

They must ba maue more robust aud self-reliant, On the other hand the military power of the Union ought to be enlarged on an: extended basis of inilitia or vol- unteers, well drilled, well disciplined and instructed, who could on an emergency be called out to resist fore:go invasion or to suppress insurrection. ‘ino people of the country go wlong as i! no other war were over to occur, ‘the one we had they suppose to bo suMicient 10 lust forever.
