The Standcurd'p special correspondent
at Constantinople, telegraphs under
date of yesterday : , "A council, over
which the Sultan presided, was held
yesterday. I am informed that a
general feeling was expressed, by no
one more strongly than the Sultan, in
favor of making an effort to put an end
to the war in which enough had been
done on both sides for glory, and which
if continued must inflict lasting misery
on the two empires. It was felt, how
ever, that at present sufficient reliance
cannot be placed upon the declaration
of Russia, and that even while seeking
to obtain honorable peace, prepara
tions for prolonged resistance must be
vigorously carried on. I am told that
subject to this determination to prose
cute the war if an honorable peace
cannot be maintained, it was resolved
that time for endeavoring to put an
end to the war has arrived. If my in
formation is correct, the Grand Vizier
will to-day inform Mr Layard, the
British ambassador, of the decision of

i Stephens, . of Georgia, introduced a
bill for the financial relief of the coun
try, to facilitate a return to specie pay
ments 'wiihout injuriously affecting
the commercial business and industry
Of the people, which was referred to
the committee on Banking and Cur
rency. It provides for the issue of
.$350000,000 of exchequar bills, with
which legal tender notes are to be re
deemed, and for the issue of three per
cent bonds, into which the exchequer
billsmay be exchanged at par, the bills
to be receivable for all debts, public
and private.
The bill appropriating $150,000 for
a representation at the Paris Exposi
tion was discussed, but no action was
taken.
The committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures, of which Mr Stephens
is chairman, heard Mr E T Elliott, of
the Treasury Department, and a mn
ber pfthe American Meteorlogical So
ciety, on the subject before the com
mittee. Mr E.iiott gaye the commit
tee a learued and elaborate history of
coinage, and strongly tavored tne ex
isting system of having silver subsid
iary to gold.
A caucus ot tne Republican benators
was held at the capitol this afternoon.
There was a full attendance, as the
proceedings were expected to be of
uncommon interest and importance.
Mr Edmunds and the .various other
Senators who waited upon the Presi
dent, last Tuesday evening, to acquaint
him with the general tenor and spirit
of the comments expressed by the ma
jority of the Republican Senators in
the last caucus concerning nis civn
service policy, etc, gave to the caucus
to-day a verbal account or what oc
curred at that interview. They report
ed that the President, in response to
their statements of the widespread un
easiness and dissat:sf '.rtion which had
been created am; iig his party friends
by his appointments of Democrats to
Southern offices, &c, had argued that
his, policy in this respect was not prej
udicial to the interests of the Republi
can party, and certainly was not adopt
ed by him from any want of earnest
des'.refor the perpetuation and in
crease of Republican power and prin
ciples. On the contrary it was his ex
pectation and belief that the pursuance
of this policy would promote a coali
tion of the old Whig and various other
elements naturally opposed to the
Democratic party in the South, and
eventually secure six or eight Southern
States for the Republicans.
All the Republican Senators who
were present at the interview express
ed themselves to the caucus as being
convinced that the; President was thor
oughly sincere in thisi belief. They
also reported that the President said
he was very desirous to be in harmony
with the leaders of the party arid was
gratified to have had the opportunity
of , ascertaining thus, definitely and
clearly the views which had been ex
pressed in the caucus. Advice and
candid criticism would always be wel
come to him, and in closing he said
be hoped and , believed that , there
would be, lees cause for complaint in
the-future;- and in any event if there
should.be differences of opinion there
need be no occasion for ill feeling, and
he trusted there would be none. ,
After the reports,' of wh ich the fore
going is a correct, though brief, sum
mary, had been made to the caucus, a
free- discussion ensued as- to the pro
priety apd probable effects of the
President's ' policy in case it should be
acquiesced in by the Senate., The
interchange of -views developed -, an
almost unanimous- opinion that . the
policy of appointing Democrats to
office in'the tsoatn is not wibo or souna,
and even those Senators who are most
distinctively known as the friends of the
administration expressed doubts as to
