Washington, March 13. A. Democratic
caucus committee, consisting of Senators
Thurman, Bayard, Garland, Cockrell,
Johnston and Morgan, held a long session
this evening opon the subject of providing
some method of counting electoral votes,
but no conclasion -was reached. Opinions
differed as to what was best to be done, bat
the action most likely to be taken is a re
vival of a joint rule that formerly governed
that subject. The whole matter was very
generally discussed, and the committee
will come to some conclasion at the meet
ing next week. Some of the committee are
in favor of allowing the matter of counting
the electoral vote to remain just as it is
now.
The hearing on the paper question was
resumed before theBouse, Committee of
Ways and Means to-day. Hon. Warren
Miller concluded hit argument, urging the
injustice of removing the duty on wood
pulp as contrary to the spirit of our, own
legislation, etc.
Hon. Erastus Brooks followed and urged
the removal of the duty, which he proposed
to accomplish by simply giving a proper U
construction to the existing laws, no ar
gued that the rise in the price of paper was
entirely disproportionate to the rise in the
price of other commodities, and was due
to the combination of Western manufactu
rers. He believed the removal of the duty
on wood pulp would result in a reduction
of at least two cents per pound on printing
paper, and that unless some action of this
character was taken by Congress there
could be no guarantee that paper might
not be forced to most extortionate prices.
Hon. John B. Hawley, Assistant Secreta
ry of the Treasury, has resigned. J. R.
Upton, at present Chief Clerk of the De
partment, will be promoted to fill the va
cancy Jupton entered the Department as
first class clerk in 1863.
Cjpt J. B. Eads appeared before the
Ioter-Oceaaic Canal committee this morn
ing, and continued his argument in support
of his plan for an inter-oceanic ship rail
road.' He stated that a canal constructed
as proposed by De Lesseps would cost
$350,000,000, but if constructed with locks
would be much cheaper. The cost of a
ship railway would depend on the location
and the question of harbors. It would
probably cost more to get a good harbor at
Gray town than to get one at each end of the
line at Panama. The maximum cost would
be about $50,000,000, including harbors
and every expenditure. With the money
supplied, and no detention on that ac
count, a railway could be put in operation
in four years from the time construction
commenced. It could be worked cer
tainly for forty per cent, of its reve
nue. He proposed to raise a ship and
put it on the track in 30 minutes, and carry
it from one ocean to the other, loaded or
unloaded, and place it In the water with
safety, at the speed of twelve miles an
hour. He would have twelve hundred
wheels, one hundred on each track, and if
one wheel should break it could be removed
without accident to the ship. Six rails
could be removed and the vessel carried on
the remainder with safety.
The Sub Committee of the House Com
mittee on Agriculture to-day discussed the
general features of Representative Aiken's
bill to promote the culture in this country
ofjthe tea plant, under the direction of the
Commissioner of Agriculture. No action.

New Ycarx, March 13. In the- .suit of
ihe United States against HarrisoriJohtfr
sioov, ex-speeds! agent of the Treasury, an
attachment was granted by Judge Blalca
ford, on motion of Assistant District Attor
ney Willson, and today a United States
marshal attached several houses and lots, a
number of mortgages, a bank account and
a quantity of stock in this city, the pro
perty of the defendants valued at about
$150,000. The suit against Johnston, who
is at present a resident of Mississippi, is to
recover $106,087.73, the value of certain
cotton consigned to bis care as such agent
of the Treasury. ' He was agent for the
counties of Lowndes, Monroe, Oktibbeha
and Noxubee, Mississippi, under Secre
tary McCulloch, and it was his duly to as
same charge of all cotton there alleged to
have belonged to the Confederate States.
Johnston reported that a part of the cotton
had been sold and the proceeds used to
meet the expenses of officers and garrisons
employed to protect it. The case .will
probably.be tried at the April term, of the
court.
