The Republican Senators Caucus on Officers of the Senate- Alt. Mahone l'leads tor Gorham, bat McCook Gets Away with Him. Washington", Dec 13. The Repub lican senators were in caucus Ironi 10 until 12 o'clock to day, discussing the reorganization of the Senate. Sen ator Mahone was present at the be ginning. A motion as made and carried to proceed to the nomination of a caucus candidate for secretaiy i f the Senate. Senator Jones of Nevada nominated Hon. Geo. C. Gorham. ol California; Senator Miller of New York, nominated Gen. Anson G. Mc Cook, of New York; Senator Harri son nominated Maj. D. M. Ramsdell, of Indiana. Eulogistic speeches were made in support of each candi date, and a running debate followed in which a majority of the Senators E resent took part. Upon an informal allot the vote stood McCook 1G, Gor ham 15, Ramsdell 3. The formal bal lot which followed immediately re sulted, McCook 19, Gorham 13, Ram dell 3 Gen. McCook was thereupon declared to be the nominee of the caucus. The caucus adjourned to re assemble after the adjournment of the Senate to-day. Gen. McCook was not a candidate in the accept, d sense of the term for any office in the gift of the Senate. Some time ago Senator Miller of New York wrote McCook asking him to enter the canvass for the secretary ship and come to Washingtt a for that purpose. McCook replied that the office was one of high honor and that he would accept the nomination if it was conferred upon him. He de clined, however, to come to Washing ton or enter the canvass personally. No one was authorized in his behalf to solicit votes of the Senators. The opponents of Gorham took the ground that his attitude as a journalist in respect to the Garfield and Conkling differences and to the star route trials had been such as to create a bitter enmity towards himself, and that his nomination for the secretaryship would have a tendency to revise par ty differences which were in process of healing. The debate was courteous in tone and devoid of offensive per sonalities. Maho.ie made a speech in defence of Go-ham stating that while he was not present to influence the result by his vote, he had a duty toward his constituents to perform. The defeat of Gorham would be misinterpreted throughout the South as in some sense a disapproval of the Liberal movement. He (Mahone) knew that such an interpretation of the action of the caucus, whatever it might be, would be erroneous. He eulogized Gorham's work in connection with the Liberal movement and stated that he should support the nominees of the caucus whoever thev rmVht hp Mahone did not vote upon the nomi nation. Riddleberger was not present. At the afternoon Republican cau cus Charles Johnson, of Minnessota. was nominated to be chief clerk, and James R. Young, of Pennsylvania, to be executive clerk of tr e Senate. Key. E. E. Huntley, pastor of the Metropolitan church in Washington, formerly of Wisconsin, to be Chap lain. W. P. Cannady , 0f North Caro una, for seargeant-at-arms. A resolu tion was offered and unanimously adopted to retain the wounded sol diers now on the rolls of the Senate in their positions. There were only six votes against the nomination of Cannady for ser-geant-at-arms. Tbe question of the presidency of the Se ate was informally discussed but no action taken the nomination beinglfiftasat the end of the last caucus When the time for action comes Senator Anthony will receive the nomination. The Legislature Pronounces the Rid-dlfb-rger Bill a Final Settlement. Richmond. Va., Dec. 13. In both Houses of the General Assembly to day a joint resolution was introduced by the Democratic members declar ing: , . . . 1st, That the people of lrgmia have accepted the Act of February 1SS2, known as the Riddleberder bill, as the ultimate settlement of the debt of the State; that it is their unalter able purpose that the settlement shall be final and that any expectation that any other basis will ever be made or toleratfd by the people of Virginia is absolutely illusory and hopeless. 2d, That the interest of the public creditors as well as the safety and welfare of the State require that that settlement shall b accepted by the creditors as well as by the State, and therefore the General Assembly of Virginia on behalf of all the people of the State, advise and call upon the holders of all bonds and claims against the commonwealth to come forward with promptness and fund the same under the provisions of the said act. 3d. That the Governor of the Com monwealth be requested to commu nicate these resolutions to the holders of bonds and claims against tho State by proclama ion. 'The introduction of this resolution is the result of the discussion in the Democratic caucus last night and there is no doubt of its adoption by the legislature. The Senate finance committee this morning reported a joint resolution directing the treasurer not to refund hereafter money paid into the treas ury under the Act of January 14, 1882. until an appropriation has been made for the purpose of paying the coupons tendered for taxes under said Act. The state officers nominated in the caucus last night were elected to day. I'he S uate Spt-ndj. the Day Discussing lite me, Washington, Dec. 1".-Shx.vte. In the Senate after prayer and the reading of the journal, the chair pre sented "a report from Mr. W. W. Cor coran, chairman of the joint commis sion, on the completion of the W ash ington monument, showing that during the past year work on the monument has progressed steadily and that at its close the monument had reached a height of 41U feet above the level of the llor of the shaft and stand; that no further ap propriation is needed to finish the shaft. Among the bills presented were the following: By Dolph, of Oregon, to provide for th formation and admission in o the Union of the State of Washington. On ti e conclusion of the mining business the Senate took up for con sideration the report of the committee on rules and proceeded to consider the rules seriatim. The Senate without reaching a vote on the first new rule, that affecting the right of the President pro tern to designate a temporary occupant of the chairman in Ms absence, the Senate went into executive session after agreeing to a motion that when it adjourns to day it be to Monday next. When the doors were re opened the Senate adjourned. A caucus of Republican Senators was immediately held. An I'licompromi-ing Defiance. London, Dec. 13. The Tunes in its leading editorial to-day says there was never a more uncompromising defiance flung into the face of the English nation or government than when Parnell in h.s speech in the Kotunda at Dublin on Tuesday even ing declared war upon the constitu tional principles and connection be tveen hnerland and Ireland. It is impossible for public men of England to regard this renewal ot man war fare with "indifference or contempt The situation is serious and will tax the ability of English statesmen to the utmost.

NOR Til CAROLIN A lit CONGRESS. Neatly Filiy Bills from the Tar Heel Siate iu Oiie Dy-Three Levelled Agaml the "Infernal" Revenue The North Carolina ' Places." Correxp mdei.ee nf the Uscree?. Washington, Dec. 11. Both houses were employed yesterday in receiv ing and referring bills. The call of States in the House, for this purpose, was not exhausted until to-day. These bills were chiefly personal that is for relief, pensions and the like. A number were, however, for altering the internal revenue laws, or the leg- elation touching public lands, or affecting other un ortant concerns. Of the two thousana oins mirouuc- ed, about fifty were by North Caroli na members, 'and were offered this af tern- on. Among these were three to repeal the internal revenue laws and abolish or modify the system of collection offered respectively by Gens. Scales and Cox and Maj. Dowd. This class of bills is going to be very heavy this session. A large- number of them have b en intr- duced already. Gen. Scales also introduced his bill ot ast s- ssion concerning the taxes col leeted illegally from the North Caro lina Railroad ; also one relating to homestead and pension exemptions. Gen. Cox nuroduct d a bill on the civil service, and Col. Green two bills to provide for public buildings at Wilmington an ' v ayetteville, and one lor the improvement of Black River. O'Haras bill to reimburse de positee in the Freeaman s Bank and trust Company tor losses oy inerian- ure of that institution is of interes-t to colored people. But Gen. Vance wiis the hefti st of all, as he is usu- Ulv. in the i Production of bills, get ting in about as many as all the oth ers combined, rils nneinai revenue hill has been outlined alonir with his general views in this correspondence. Among his other measures weretnree amending the patent laws; one to pay Southern mail contractors for servi ces; two concerning the Eastern Cher okees; one each for the following purposes: for the relief ot survivors of .Indian wars, for relief of soldieis of the war of 1812, for a public build ing at Asheville, making appropria tions for signal stations on Mt. Mitch 11 and at the Highlands, for the re peal of the duty on salt, to stop the omage ot the trade dollar, ano pri vate bills for the relief of Gen. At kins, Pinckney Rollins and ten oth ers. A good deal of cha lge is going on at the apitol in the under offices. Only a few of the old fellows are re appointed. The orth Carolina pla ces assured are the following: Mr. H. G. Williams, assistant superintendent of the House document room, foretold in these letters; an eighteen hundred dollar position under doorkeeper Wintersmith and one policeman. The second position has fallen to the edi tor of the Wadesboro Times, the third to a Mr. Swindell, of Goldsboro. A few other mino places will be giv en doubtless to North Carolinians. A big fight was made for the H use librarv. but it was carried to-day by Mr. William Butler, of South Caroli na, a brother of the Senator. North Carolina supported the losing man for clerk and, therefore, in some measure, hinc illce kit-hrimo?. It is now pretty certain that an election for Senate officers will be held this week, probably on Thurs- dav. in which event W . P. Canaday will be chosen Sergeant-at Arms. Ex-Marshal Douglas is in the .-ity. H. A Murderer Respited. Wilmington, Del., Dec. 13 Gov Stackley has n spited Jeremiah Har rigan. the murderer of Dennis Shea for one year.

The friends ,i O'Donnell, under sentence to be hanged for the murder of Carey next Monday, have found five of the jurors, three of whom favor a respite, but the officers of the government refuse to give the ad dress of the remaining jurors, and the probabilities are that the execution will take place on tho day set.

The wretched beast staggers along with his heavy load, looking mis. erable, and feeling worse than he looks. The driver urges him onward witli the whip, and perhaps swears at him i little to make him go faster. The horse plunges on a few steps, then comes to a sudden hdi and tries to stand still for a few moments o' rest. His shaky legs rivo -under him, and he falls heavily to tta Sr und. Boys and men crowd around him, and try to make him stand up. They pull his tail anc'. ivrh aim with sticks. Some of them are so caiel as to kick him. Presently he gives a few convulsive gasps, and he is dead. u P?r street-car horse! He was overworked and underfed. He had! hard hie of it. Now that he is gone, the company will put another hor: . m his place. The other horse will be overloaded and worked death in like manner. Cruel business. There are many men who overwork and underfeed themselves CI they are l as bad a way as the nearly-dead ctreet-car horse. Sometimes they do it from a sense of solemn duty and stern conscientiousness. Thev u iiyi.mcdu jk.iu memseives. l ney only v.-ant to m-ke a living lor their families. With impoverished bloo i and unstrung nerves and failing stom ach and aching head and torpid liver they drag along a weary and miser able existence. They make their families as miserable as themselves. To bring these wretched, wcrn, and weary men out of their misery is better than to let them die. Is not a man better than a horse? Can-a husband and father be replaced at the price of a worn-out animal? Save the man !
