Iia'.L'incre S;n Washlnston Letters the Un. A numberl'if leading Democrats, mem bers of the Houses, and others, have been in formal consultation with regard to the course to puisne if flip President should 'undertake tp' carry out the views and wixlies of the stalwart: portion of the Re publican party. Tlw Sentiment of those present was tliat the eit'oi t shoitlil he to make the session as short as possible; that it would not be piolirablo to pro tract the session if there sliould be the ap pearance of irreconcilable antagonism be tween llio I'lesideut jand Cong.ieas It was suggested that tlio first thipg to be done would be to incorporate in one hill the repeal "of tho jnrdrstest , oath; with perhaps a new. provision for the projier selection -f United .States jurors, tlta. ex clusion of trops fronij the,polU fand the repeal of the election laws ; that if the l'lesideiit should Veto'tliis bill,' to' attach it to one of th vtpprdpriHtiou I i Is; that tiicn, if the 1 Ye.. i.. cut vetoed the nppro priatiou i.iil. for Cougtx'ss t immediatcly au.joiiru, and not rtiinain in session to continue any struggle; over the! matter; that if th President then cal!e.l another extra session to go thunugh thesiime form of proceeilings, and if ho repitated. his vetoes to adjourn again. The boljef was, Siowever, cxpresel that the President would not le so obstinate in this mat ter as ho has indicated. This will ap pear hereafter. The matters spoken of may be diseased more fully aud more formally in the Senate Democratic caucus whicli wjll meet on Saturday, tho 15th, prov bled the time is not all occupied in the more important busines of parcelling out thespoils. It isgeneraly auticipatedamong leading Denioyi at thiit, liotwithstandiiig interel cd lejMirt to tlie contrary all the Democnitic iiM-nlerg-elect of the House will.ltc on hand on the 18th of .March, with possibly not more than one. or two exc-ep-tioiis. Iii every State 'an active man has lceii designated to look after tlio mem bers and s;e that nothing is left Undone to have theni all on baud.; A funny scene was wjtntsssed a few days Jiifo in the Federal Court at Dan ville, Va., the judge of which (Uives), it will be rt'collecteil, jecently Ptsfructed his grand Jury to indict a number of county judges for not putting negroes on the juries. Ajcojored hppi named :Gravely was indicted for selling ' liquor without license. When he saw the jury before which he was to bo tried,' alMut! fnuall divided ; lictweeii whito and black, he exchiimed, -."For . God Aliiiighty's sake don't Itrt'theni niggeis try me!''' Efforts were made to pacify him, but he never lK"camo ro.oiu'jlod, ! He insish-d that "niggers would hang n maw just to sec him kick." . j i i , , Mr. Shobeij withdraws from the Secre taryship of the Senate in the interest ol Hon. A. M. Waddell. Mr. Waddell is a repiesentatiye Caroliniau, and the pi ess and people of the State commend him to the favor of thp Senate. The! witb- dawal of Mr. Shober was a geperous act by a nian acenstonjed to do generous deeds. Hal. Acirw. 1 Frao tical Blacksmith. - IIORSESHOER. SHOP connected with!
