Bpocial Dispatch to Tan Bus. ‘Wasmivarox, April 11.—No caucus was held by elther side of the senate this morning. Mr. Edmunds occupied his seat for the first time in three weeks. On s motion to proceed te the con- sideration of execative business, the vote was, ayes 19, nays 20, quorum voting. At 12:25 p. m. Mr. Call, of Florlda, resumed the floor to procecd with the speech began by him iast Tbursdsy. He took up the original point that it was bad taste for the Massachusetts senator to attack the free ballot in th when their own constita- continually interrupted by Messrs. Hosr and who trled to put their suffragelaws In s right light. He also cited the acknowledged inequality of legielatiive rapresentation in Con- necticat, and the circumstances in Vermont and Rhode Island as incon- istent with the present issue of free ballot. Mr., Call spoke for justice an hour. Mr. Dawes, In raplying, alleged that the only possible objectionable quali- fication in his state was that each voter should resd and write, Her were free and we could learn if we wished, and new comers, being obliged to remain a year before voting, bad ample time toavail themselves of this requirement. Mr. Camdean followed, reading his speech in an almost inaudible tone, in defense of West Virginia’s position in relation to the public debt of the old state of Virginia. He endeavored to show that West Virginia had tried to do her share in the matter. Mr. C-meron followed Mr. Camden ina short speech, referring to Mr. =ck's recent remarks on_thie f: of the Pennsylvas dorse the action of its senators, and read a resclution pessed by the Penn- sylvania legislatare in contradiction of the faflure. Mr. Beok .replled that he recog- nized the power to have accomplished by telogram what he had tiought per- sonal presence would have been nec- e Mr. Vest then took the floor. He denied Mr. Sherman's statement that the will of the majorlty was supremo. The minority bad more rights than the right of debate, aand this one meant to exercise them, If it took un- til December. He referred also to the republican coalition with the rs- adjusters, and expressed especial won- der that the late secretary of the treasury should support these, for sympathy with whom, he threatened to remove the government officlals at Petersburg, Va., during hie term of office. The apeaker read the corres- pondencs _ between Commisstoner Raum and J. H. Van Anken, tobacco i atPetersburg, Va., in which sympathizing with the referred to as criminal , to which Van Anken replicd with an explstion which the then secretary of the treasury finally considered satisfactory. Mr. Vest continued that a veice trom heaven, or some other direction, must have come to the senator from Ohio to cause him to now wish to place in office such a “‘great”’ read;jus or as Riddleberger. - Such amero dallinnce has never been seen ou'ride of the bridal chamber, where Hymen dra myatic veil.

Mr. Swan, the cattle king, and Mesers. Keith and Van Tassel, also well known cattle mon, all of Chey- eune, Wyoming Territory, are in the city for a few days, stoppiog at the Withnell. Mr. Swan ls cspacially en- gaged in looking after the thonsand or driven from the Willow Springs dis- tillery sheds by the present inundation. In conversatien lsst evening he stated that the cat- tle that had not been shipped would doubtlsss be retarned to the sheds by to-night, as a large enough force will be put on to repair all damage by the floodas fast as the waters subside. Referring to the general condition of cattlo throughout Wyoming he stated that it was better than had ever befors been known notwithstanding the sensational re- ports in the Chicago papers. The entire loss throughout the terrl- tory would not, in his opioion, exceed five per cent. In many parts the cattle were now fat enough to ship, the grass durlng the winter having remained in excellent condition, There are about 450,000 head of cattle aow under the charge of the cow-boys in the territory, and the In- crease of stock this yeir will be very large. Mr. Swan alone is interested in forty one thousand bead, or more than one-tenth of the entire number, and his opinfon as to the cheerfal con- dition of affairs is doabtless the most reliable to be obtalned.

The Cost and Results of the Afghan War. According to the officlal estimates lately presented to parliament, the to- tal coat of the Afghan war, up to the 31at fust , including the frontier rail- ways, is $97,500,000. The loss of life, of course, is not reckoned. Govern- ments rarely think of that important factor. What has England got for her anormous outlay of money? Notbing, absolutely nothing. Not s foot of now terrltory; not an additioual sub- joct; no advantage of avy sort, pres- ent or prospective. The government !has decided to absndon Candahar, and the last British soldier will leave that city esrly next month—when troops from Cabul are expected to ar- rive and take possession in the name of the ameer, Abdurrabman Kaho. That weak sovereign is to be invested with sole and exclusive authority in Afghanistan, and If he holds It a year will disappoint those who know him and the country best. Not only has England gained no_advantage by the heavy investment in blood and gold, | but she has really lost advantages | hithertoYposseased.
