FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS. DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS. Washington, November 10.—The Democratic caucus met but did noth ing beyond instructing Thurman to confer with the Democratic members of the Committee on Elections and report to an indefinitely adjourned caucus. The feeling seems to be in favor of a motion to discharge the committee from further consideration and bring the credentials squarely before the Senate. Sl’OI'FORD AND KELLOGG'S POLICY OF DELAY. The Committee on Elections had a full meeting and ordered the pupers of Spoffbrd and Kellogg printed. A motion by Saulsbury to take up the Eustls case was laid on the table, un til the sub-committee on tile Spoftbrd- ltellogg case had reported. The pol icy of delay seems determined upon by the Republicans, and the Demo crats are not over anxious to press the issue. The committee meets to-mor row. THE COLORADO CASE. The Committee on Elections of the House had an informal test of the sentiment in the Colorado case. Three favor Belford, three favor Pat terson, four favor no election and two are non-committal. Chances favor a reference bupk to the people. NOMINATION OF HARLAN NOT EN COURAGING. The Senate Judiciary Committee considered the nomination of Harlan to the Supreme bench without reach ing a conclusion. His prospects are not encouraging. SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE. The Finance Committee failed to secure a quorum to-dav and took no action on the silver bill. ENGLISH LEGATION. Victor Drumund, new secretary of the English legation was installed. NEW TARIFF BILL. The sub-Committee on Ways and Means are holding daily sessions with a view of presenting a new tariff Dill early in the regular session. SCHURZ ON FORESTS. Sec re tiny Schurz is represented as enthusiastic for the preservation of American forests. He is quoted that this matter has been dallied with for 75 years, The following, furnish ed by a person somewhat interested, amplifies the views of the Secretary: Maj. T. H. Price, hacked by Repre sentative Herbert, of Alabama, and Hooker of Mississippi, had an inter view to-day with the Secretary of the Interior in reference to the Govern ment raids on the timber getters of the Gulf. The Secretary is firmly set in his determination to institute suits for all logs, timber, turpentine and lumber taken from public lands whether in the hands of innocent pur chasers or not. He admits that the proceedings recently quashed by Judge Hill, were irregular, hut says new or ders are issued for suits in the regular way. His notions about protecting the American forests are sufficiently extreme to amount to the destruction of large numbers of the American people. “Woodman spare that tree” bills will be proposed in Congress to restrain this ruinious policy, if possi ble. SUPREME COURT. Blount vs. Windley, error to the Supreme Court of South Carolina, under a statute of the State passed in 1860 to enable its banks to close their business, the plaintiff in error was appointed commissioner of the Bank or Washington and recovered a judg ment against the defendant in error on a debt incurred as security. Under an act two years later, the Legisleture provided that any debt or judgment MEN ATE. Washington, November 18. — During the morning hour a number of bills were introduced and referred to appropriate committees, most of them being of a private character. <*The' Senate then resumed con sideration of unfinished business, be ing a resolution of Mr. Davis of West Virginia, providing for the appoint ment of a committee of five Senators, to inquire into the alleged discrepan cies in the books ami accounts of the Treasury Department. On motion the Senate receded from amendments to the arhiy bill in which the House noil-concurred, and the bill goes to the president. The Sen ate agreed to Senator Davis’ resolu tion for a committee of five to investi gate the Treasury system of book keeping, with a view of removing the alleged discrepancies. Executive session. CONFIRMATIONS. Tyler, postmnster at Baltimore, quite, a number of consuls; Bell, As sistant Secretary of the Interior; Fil- ley, postmaster at St. l.miis- Bose- nran, Charleston; North, Brunswick, Ga.; Dresset, Oxford, Ala.; Scott, Dennison, Texas. 1IOUME. The bill In reference to the Paris Exposition came up the first thing to-day and kept its place to adjourn ment. After a funny speech by Cox, of New York, the general debate closed. A motion to strike out the enacting clause, which would be equivalent to a defeat of the bill, was made by Mills, of Texas, and was rejected by a majority of forty. All who voted for the motian were Democrats. An amendment was adopted on motion of Steel, of North Carolina, requiring four of the commissioners to be practical agriculturists. The bill will probably be disposed of to-morrow. fillies. Burning of tlie “Dispatch" Building In Flttaburg.

Huntington, Pioney, Dillon and other parties representing rifle and Central Rail- due to any of the State banks might be paid in the bills of such banks. The defendant in error, having ten dered such bills in tills case, objection was taken that the commissioner was entitled to payment coin or legal tenders, and that the act authorizing the sat isfaction in the bills of the bank was retrospective in its action. Admit ting the retrospective character of the legislation, it is sustained here us there is not constitutional inhibition, and it is said of such legislation that though generally distrusted, it is of ten beneficial and sometimes neces sary. Unless it violates some provis ion of the Federal Constitution there is no power in this Court to declare it void. Justice Miller delivered the opinion. SOME OF ROBESON’S MANAGEMENT.

Special to the Enquirer-Sun.] Versailles, Nov. lit.—M. DuKer- urel on introducing ills interpellation in tlie Senate to-day admitted tlie right of Deputies to order an inquiry into elections, but said he wished to pre vent the inquiry from encroaching upon tlie prerogatives of the executive or judicature. Duke DcBroglie replied .tlie propos ed inquiry constituted such an en croachment it would not be impartial and being a parliamentary and not judicial inquiry, citizens were not bound to answer questions of investi gating committee, The instruc tions which tlie 'Government had given on the eve of quitting office were tliut tlie functionaries must act in regard to this inquiry as ordered by their superiors. M. Lubouluye urged that tlie Gov ernment ought to invite functiona ries to give evidence before commis sion.

New York, November 10.—Sitting Bull has been talking with a corres pondent. und telling tlie story of tlie Custer massacre, lie says: “The flgnt was hell — a thousand devils. The squaws were like flying birds; the bullets like humming bees. We thought we were whipped at first, hut by and by afterwards — no. Your people were killed. I tell no lies about dead men. These men who came witli tlie Long Huir were a good men us ever (ought. When they rode up their liorses were tired, and they were tired. When they got off their horses they could not stand firmly on their feet. They swayed to und fro—so my young men have told me—like the iimbs of cypresses ill a great wind. Some of them staggered under tlie weight ol' their guns; but they began to light, nt once. But by this time our camps were aroused, and there were plenty of warriors to meet them. They tired with needle guns. We replied with magazine guns and repeating rifles.” Sitting Bull illustrated, by putting liis palms together, the rapidity of the fust lade. “Our young men mined lead across the river and drove tlie white braves back, and then they rushed across themselves, then they found that they had a good deal to do. Tlie trouble was with the soldiers. They were so exhausted and their horses bothered them ho much tliut they could not take good aim. Sonic of their liorses broke away from them und left them to stand and drop and die. All the men fell buck, lighting nnd dropping. They could not lire fast enough, though they kept in pretty good order. They would full hack across a eaulie and make a fresh stand beyond on higher ground. There were a great many brave men in that tight, nnd from time to time, while it was going on, they were shot, down like pigs. They eimld not help themselves. One by one the officers fell. Where the last light took place—where the last stand was made—the Long Hair stood like a sheaf of corn witli all tlie curs fallen around him.” “Not wounded?” “No.” "How ninny stood by him?" “A‘fcw.” "When did lie full?" "Ho killed a man. When lie fell, lie laughed.” “You mean lie cried out?" “No, lie laughed. Ho hud fired liis last shot.” "From a carbine?" "No, a pistol.” “Did lie stand up after ho first fell?" “He rose up on liis bunds and tried another shot, but liis piHtot would not go off.” “Was any one else standing up when lie fell down?" “One man was kneeling. That wus all, lint lie died before tlie Long Hair." Sitting Bull says there were only squaws, old men and little children in front of Reno, keeping him in liis strong position on the bluff and pre venting him giving aid to Custer.

Edward Huusiick, u Viennese jour nalist, writes that while Adelina Putti was in Vienna lust spring, he asked her to relate tho details of licr early life. “With pleasure,” replied tiic sing er. “I will tell you what I know, nnd you may interrupt me as often as' you please. ' That I am no longer a young woman you know. What is the use of my denying that l was born on the 19th of February, 1843? I am a child of the theatre, like u sol dier’s child ; therefore, I have no real home. My father was a Sicilian, my mother a Roman ; in Madrid, where they Hotli sang in opera, I was born, iiikI I was brought lip in New York. Of languages, I drst learned English, then Italian, and finally French und Spanish. I was very young when I went to America. My father, Salva tore Putti"—(“1 see liim now," I interrupted ; "a tall, handsome man, with white Hair and black eyes”) “he was a tenor—a good singer—and a favorite with tlie public. My mother wns more than that, she was a great urtist. She achieved her reputation in Italy as Signora Barilli, which wns the naine of her first husband. Ad mired by the public, she even made Grisi jealous, who, once put in tlie shade by her, never cured to appeur with my mother together. My ste|>- brother Barilli, a good singer, first taught me to sing, and that, too, in a thoroughly systematic, manner." "Maurice Strakoscli was not, then, us is generally supposed, your first aud only teacher?" “Certaiiilv not; Strakoscli, an Aus trian, born in a little Movarian town, cume to New York as A YOUNG PIANIST AND MARRIED MY ELDER MISTER, Amelia, who, at tliut time, possessed a beautiful Mezzo-soprano, which, un fortunately, she soon lost. He only tauglil me to sing Hosintt, in the Harbor of SorUh, and afterwards when T, a finished singer, traveled through Europe lie went through my parts with But let us return to those days of childhood in New York. A musical ear and (lie rapaci ty und desire to sing were developed iii meat an early age, and, tlierefon when I was but a little child I wi taught singing by my brother-in-law and piano-playing by my sister Car- lotta. Carlotla, whom you know, laid been educated as a pianist. It was only discovered ufterwurds tHat slie possessed a voice—one, too, which sang higher notes than mine—and iny success as a singer induced her to pursue the same career—only in the concert room, of course, for she lias been lame since she was a child. And thus we three sisters and a younger brother, Carlo i’atti, who died recently, lived in New York with our parents, in perfect harmony and without any cares. When a lit tle child I was already passionately fond of music aud tlie theatre. When ever my mother sung I was at the opera; every melody, every gesture, became firmly impressed on my mind. Then, ufter being brought home and put to bed, I would secretly get up, anil by the light of the little lump en act, FOR MY OWN .SATISFACTION, all the scenes which I had witnessed at the theatre. A red-lined cloak of my father's und an old hut of my mother's served me us costume, and thus I acted, danced, and chirped— barefooted, but with romantic drapery through all the operas.” “You lacked, then, only applause nnd wreaths?" “Oh, no ; they were not lacking either, for I personated, too, my au diences applauded and threw bouquets at myself—'‘bouquets' which I rather skillfully niuul'aetured of old news papers. Then bitter misfortune befell us. The manager failed and disap peared without even payingliis debts, the troupe dispersed, and il was all over with the Italian opera. Our par ents' occupation wus gone, we were a numerous family, and soon were luir- rassed by poveriy and trouble. My father carried many things to the pawnshop, and sometimes knew not now to procure bread for us. But I did not understand anything uliout Hiieli tiiingH, and sang from morning till night. My father observed this, and the thought occurred to Him that my bright, childish voice would save the family * from starvation. And, thank God, I did save them.
