of Hepabllcan Senator Report on
the Recem Interview at tne White
Booh.
.Special Dispatch to Baltimore Sun.
Washington, Nov. 18.
: The Senate Republicans held an
other caucus yesterday ;to hear the
report of the committee which waited
upon the President. Neither the case
of Kellogg nor of any of the Senato
rial contestants was alluded to in any
manner, as tne sole object of the can
cus was to discuss the relations be
tween the President and Senators.
r ja . a a --ia.
several ot tne memoers or tne com
mittee which called upon the Presi
dent gave an account of their inter
view with him. benator Edmunds,
as chairman of tbe committee gave
the most detailed statement of what
the President said, and what was said
to him. Some of the points of the
President's statement have heretofore
been given, and need not be repeated.
He told the committee that since his
entrance into the Presidency his offi
cial action bad been guided by the
principles of tbe Cincinnati platform,
his letter of acceptance and his inau
gural address, the sentiments of all
of which documents were, according
to his understanding, in entire sym
pathy with the principles and the
objects of the Republican party,
v Senator Edmunds stated his opin
ion that the conversation of the Pres
ident was extremely courteous and
conciliatory, but did not warrant the
declaration that he proposed changing
his policy. The President thought
that Senators had criticised his acts
and appointments on insufficient in
formatiop, and sometimes a false
construction had , been placed upon
what he had done, even after such
construction had been shown to be
entirely erroneous. He thought there
was . an evident disposition -among
some Senators to look at . his acts
from an unfriendly point of view
without inquiry or investigation. In
regard to His nominations, he had lac
bored earnestly to make good ap
pointments; if the Senate thought he
had erred in any case, it was their
province ancTduty to reject the nomi
nations. In answer to an inquiry, it
was staled that although ; such a
course ' had been suggested to the
President, it was not likely that he
would withdraw any of bis nomina
tions. Tbe President had said that
there was no necessity for any unkind
feeling between hira and the major?
lty of the Senate; that he would be
glad at all times to hear their; views,
and to act in accord with them wheii
he could consistently do so according
to his own convictions.
Alter the Senators who saw the
President bad made their; differ
ent statements the discussion con
tidued for some - time in a 1 con
versational way, and the opinions ex
pressed were of an amicable nature
rather than otherwise. Several of
the President's nominations were,
however, quite unfavorably com-;
mented upon, and some of them, ii
was said, would not be confirmed.
adjournment and Resumption Re
. peal-The, Silver Blll-Tne Vacant
Jadceahip.
Special Dispatch to tbe Baltimore Sun. 1 1
Washington, Nov. 18. -
It has been expected that the final
adjournment of the extra session
would take place this week. This is
now doubtful. The supporters of
the anti-resumption bill say that
they are determined to have a vote
and to pass the bill through the
House before -agreeing to any ad
journment resolutions.
It is expected that another meeting
of the Senate finance committee will
be held to-morrow for the considera
tion of the silver bill. Senator Jones,
of Nevada, and other prominent ad
vocates of the bill are demanding that
the finance committee shall report it
to the Senate without further delay,
as they claim that a large majority
of that body is for the bilL , ; ,
The ' Senate Judiciary committee
has had some consideration of the
case of Mr. John Baxter, nominated
for the circuit judgeship of the Sixth
judicial circuit. By request of Mr.
Edmunds, chairman of the Judiciary
committee,. Gov. J. C. Brown and
Attorney General Heiskell, of Ten
nesseej, appeared in; tbe committee
room.' The "friends of Mr.'Uaxter
had represented to tbe committee
that tbe opposition to hira arose from,
the fact of his being a con sis tan t
Union man during and since tbe war.:
Messrs. Brown and Heiskell submit
ted proof that Mr. Baxter was a can
didate for the Confederate Congress
in 1862, and at one time proposed to
raise a regiment for the Confederate
service; that he was elected as aDe-j
raocrat to the Tennessee, cohstitu
tiooal convention of 1870, and that
in that convention he offered resolu
tions to displace every Republican
officer in the whole State.

made an interesting report of bis recent re-

f , The Doctor, who retnrned from his trip
on , Monday,, evening; stated ; that he left
Maspnbero' last, Thursday afternoon, and
arrived at New River on the following Sat
urday afternoon, making the entire trip in
a small' canoes with ' two colored hands,
neither of whom' were any more familiar
With the route than: he ; was himself. Re-'
turning he. made the trip from New River
to Sloop Point in six hours, and from New
River to Masonboro' in nineteen hours, the
entire, distance being made through sounds,
thus showing hj practical experience; the
incorrectness of the theory advanced in the
report of . a survey, of the inland Atlantic
waters, made in t 1875, to the effect sthat
these sounds "are for the most part occu
pied by an intricate net work of channels
through which a canoe cannot pass.'',
. j Dr. Carr stated that from Topsail to Ma
sonboro he u kept ; the channel straight
through, : making tbe distance in three
hours, while the balance of the way he fol
lowed the channel next to the banks.whicb,
from Topsail to New River, are high and
heavily timbered, except where the ; lands
are under cultivation. .The Doctor isjof the
impression that there will be no danger of
storms interfering with 'navigation above
TopsaiLu';;'. ;
, The report was, received with much plea
sure, as indicatiiig the feasibility of the en
terprise to open a canal, with a tide-lock,
from the Cape Fear River to the Sound,
about six miles below the city, and thence
to open up communication through the
sounds teNew River, and it was deter
mined to meet again this afternoon to or
ganize a company and appoint a time and

tributed among his friends as souvenirs of

i We learn from Mr. E. Gause, one of the
Smifhville piloa,that the body of a drowned
white man was found washed up on Snow's
Marsh, on the Brunswick side of the river,
abreast of Federal Point and about four
miles this aide of Smithville, on . Saturday
afternoon last. There were eight dollars ip
money in one of the pockets of the de
ceased, together with a number of 'orders
bearing the name of Thaddeus Moore, the
unfortunate gentleman from Point Caswefc
Pender county, who was drowned off one
of the wharves of this city two weeks ago
yesterday.- Coroner Leonard, of Bruns
wick, subsequently held an inquest over
the body, the jury returning a verdict of
accidental drowning, after which it was in
terred on the Island, where it can easily be
found by the family or friends . of the de
ceased, who will no doubt wish to have it
removed to Point Caswell.
The body drifted with the current full
twenty -five miles, and Mr. Gause says
that during his long experience as a pilot
up. and down the Cape Fear river he has
never before known one to be carried such
a distance. It looked fresh when first dis
covered and had suffered little or no muti
lation. ' ri. ;

A business man on the wharf writes to
Capt Savage, the City Clerk andTreasn-
rer, as follows: j ,.,. ?
"I am credibly, informed that there is a
wide-spread belief, and it has existed for
years past, among the farmers of many of
the counties adjacent to 'Wilmington, that
there is an ordinance of the city prohibiting
them 'from selling their, produce, such as
cotton and naval stores, in this market, ex
cept through', commission merchants . or
brokers.. Now, will you please state for
their information if there is now existing
or has existed, any such ordinance (except
that taxing market carts ten cents) within
the past twenty-five years, and oblige, :

In reply to the above, we are requested
by. Capt. Savage to say that there is no or
dinance of the city to prevent farmers or
producers from; bringing to this market
and selling their own produce from first
hands. '..As to the placing of cotton, naval
stores or any other articles of their own
production into the bands of commission
merchants or brokers, is a matter altogether
for their own discretion or convenience. At
