A caucus of the democratic members of ('engross who arc favorable to a revision of the tarill was held Monday night. After discussing the subject tit some length, it was finally decided to call a full democratic caucus to-morrow night to agree upon future procedure. While they regard the vote on the bill os finally de feating any tariff legislation during this session, they desire to more strongly om- j plmsise the principles of the tariff re- I limners. tn examination of the vote on Mor rison's tariff bill last week, shows that the allirmutive was composed of Ifffi democrats am! font republicans, and the t e ruti vc 1 Hi! republicans and thirty-five democrats. Including those who were paired among those voting, the vote in states stands as follows: State. ' rki* All communications should be addressed to the proprietor of the Kncjl'IUKU-Sun. Col. J. II.

IT Millin' UK TIIK CASK. There was a sad lack of political in formation both in the Telegraph and Constitution of yesterday, and our Cor don and Itacon friends here must have been at a loss to know who was ahead. Whether it. was because these able dailies had exhausted all their informa tion, or whether they had grown tired of the light and wanted a little breathing spell—or whether it was the effects of tho remarkably cool weather we do not know, l’orhaps a little of all these cir cumstances combined has produced what to us was rather a relief than a disap pointment. If these powerful journals will not consider it impertinent we would like to suggest to them the propriety of going a little slower in this contest from this time. The fact is, u good manv people in Ceorgia are beginning lo ask whether there are not some other men in the state who might be compe tent to till the gubernatorial chair, and some arc even bold enough to sav that we might not loose anyt hingif hoih thesc candidates \\ere defeated. It should not be forgotten that our friend Kevell, of Greenville, has not withdrawn from the race, ami it may lie that a people fatigued with political discussions m:1 y t um t( , him for relief. Nor uuwii to no ms m i i. No ollieial acts of the president entitle him to more honor than his vetoes of private pension hilts. What congress feared to Jo Mr. Cleveland h:t- done in a plain businesslike inunner.Neither demo-* erat nor repnbliean bad the courage to refuse tile grant of a pension whether the applicant was deserving or not, In-I deed, from reading the veto messages it I looks like congress makes it a point to \ grant pensions to all whoso applications | are refused at the pension oliiee. Sonic- i how tlie fact that the person fails to show | himself or herself entitled under the I law. seems to be a sufficient reason wliv eoiigress should pass a special act cover ing the ease. Wo charge the democrat! party witli a failure to do its duty in thi re-poet. Instead of standing bet wool the people and the horde of pension j claimants, they give way to the clamor I and pass the bill rather than incur the ' displeasure of the grand army of the j republic. When the first of these bills were ve- j toed we d'd hope that the house would be more careful, hut it looks now a- j though they intend to shirk the re sponsibility and east it upon the presi dent. l!ut he says that these lulls come ! in such numbers that k it is impracticable | for him to examine them within the time limited, ami so they become laws witli- imt his approval. Whatever else we may think of Mr. { Cleveland in this he has shown that he is not afraid to do his dutv even at the I (if tlie 1.57 members w ho voted against the bill tl-e-e were but thirty-five demo crats, of whom eleven are from the west and six from the south. The Georgia delegation voted solidly for the bill, while Alabama had only one deserter front the democratic ranks. Mr. Ma tin voted against consideration of the bill and used as a flimsy excuse therefor that ho deemed it practical to wait fora re vision of tlie tariff “until a ways and means committee can lie engaged which will represent the conservative element ofboth parties.” His constituency will soon have the opnortunity of passing on his act on, tie may have been actuated hy his heiter judgment, but lie has not been true to (lie ancient faith of the south under which it grew and prosper ed. There is more excuse for the Lonis- ana congressmen of whom four is record ed on the negciiie side. The bill was especially objectionable to the people of Louisiuia, for among all ihe large duties levied by the government that on sugar comes nearest to a revenue tariff, and yet this was singled out as the greatest reduction, so that il is hardly a matter of surprise that they wore found on the oilier side. It is claimed by those democrats who went off with the republicans in tlie de feat of this bill, that it was decidedly de fective. bul the democratic members of congress who assisted tlie republicans in defeating consideration of a democratic measure cannot excuse themselves by pleading that the bill is not acceptable to them, for the vote was on the question of consideration and not nil tlie liill itself, if they had voted wit their party for considera tion they could have offered amendments to the liill at the proper time. They had been told by the leading friends of the lull that concessions would be made, but they chose deliberately to disregard the suggestion. Meanwhile all honor to the faithful and fearless representative who stood hy the pledges of the democratic national platform. The southern mem bers of congress, with the exception of those members mentioned, have made a record for themselves which those who have deserted the. standard of the party may live to envy. They have the esteem and gratitude of democrats and of every friend of revenue reform. We have no disposition to unjustly criticise Mr. Kendal! and the course he lias pursued from first to last on this i n- tire tariff question. Nor do the score audti half democrats whom lie led over to the other side receive any censure which is not justly deserved. lint the course they have pursued devolves a duty upon Mr. liar-dull and upon them that they should not ignore. lie and they must make some show of keeping the pledge of the party made at Chicago. The democratic party, as the foe oflarifi- liolstered Hi"!!-ipniit'S, lias a right now to demand that Mr. Kattdall shall show a better way of fulfilling that pkdgo. Will he doit.'' J equenee is a veto is put upon many such bills. but so fur as the veto concerning public buildings are concerned, the reasons be sets fort It do not hold good as viewed from an economical standpoint. The reasons presented by the president for vetoing tlie bills providing for the erec tion of public buildings was that no federal officers were located at the points designated except postmasters. The saute thing might be said of the ixist office building in this city, but it iH simply for the reason that tho building is not such as to accommodate other federal officers The United States commissioner and tlie deputy revenue collector might all hav t heir offices in tho public building if Columbus bud one with suitable uocoin inodntioiis. No bill has passed congress providing fora public building here, and, from tlie signs of tlie times, one is not likely to pass during the present session, but the rea sons which tho president gives seems t" apply as wrll to Columbus as the cities I directly intertsled. The government does not pay less than fifteen pur cent.mi the amount invested for the useof build ings for these various olliec, and it is be lieved that a public building economi cally constructed would pay for itsell within a few years time, as well as afford better accommodations and be an orna ment to the city. There is no need of one hundred thousand dollars for this purpose, nor the half of it, but the gov ernment ought to have its own building in such a city as Columbus. Till! Philadelphia Record says that Congress man S ott, of Pennsylvania, “issound on the tariff and sound on the silver question, and he is, besides, a very est .liable gentleman who cooti ib- uted liberally to fie Cleveland campaign .uml; but he is safest where he is. He cannot fill the gap which Mr. Manning’s retirement would make in the Cleve’nnd cabinet. There are very few men in the country who carry tlie necessary brains under their hats to master the difficult problems of treasury management.” Thu Phi’ade ihia T'mes says: “For the small sum of $U0.76 a swindler may assault a repot ter tv 1 most un'-j death, pro\ 'ded lie lias tlie political inilunce possessed by (he las. swindler with tlie complex machineiy of our c im na! con There is a b . e chance that some swindler may wake up the u.ong iepo-.3f, and an undei aker wi'l be in demand instead of a “complex crimi nal Ollll.” GOOD ENDORSERS.

He is by nature an artist, and his vears of study and tuition in eastern cities have developed him into one of die fore most young decorators of his time. Some years ago he came south to decorate the interior of the Church of the linaculate Conception, at Atlanta, and, liking tlie people and climate, determined to locate south of Mason and Dixon’s line. Since then he lias been joined by his brothers, F. R. and George, and churches and fine dwellings in every principal city of tlie south attest tlieir ability,energy and en terprise. “My system,” said Mr. Sheridan during a recent conversation, ‘had been for some time GRADUALLY RUNNING DOWN, “I was not sick, in a general sense of the word, but my physical strength was feeling the severe strain I had been for years putting upon it in tlie active men tal labor necessary in tlie pursuit of niv avocation.

Her joints were swollen and distorted, great knots had formed upon her hand. She could only with great difficulty and pain manage tii walk, and was a constant suf ferer from tiffs dreadful disease.
