The Gathering of the Senators in Washington on Yes terday???The Republicans Ask for Tenm. but the Democrats for Onco Insist Upon Their Rights???Bayard's Lack of Backbone. sl*tlfttrtr' 1 to ilI-lruii litliTiai Special dispatch to The Constitution. Washington, October s???'The democratic and re publican senators met at 11 o'clock this forenoon to caucus on the organisation of the senate. The four democratic senators from the Pacific slope and Senators George and Ransom were absent, and four of the republi cans. It soon became evident in the demo cratic caucus that a majority of the members were for Bayard for president of the senate, lie being the oldest democratic senator. This is In accotdance with the long-cstablfsbed usage. There was no op- jxudtlon to him, and .Senator Han is stated that be himself woujd not be a candidate. Privately, how ever, Ituyard is considered by many of the leading spirits as sadly deficient In backbgie, and the gallant leaders of the democrats in the deadlock of last session would have preferred Senator Harris. There was no disposition shown to allow the republicans to select tire president pro tem. aud the decision of the democratic caucus is to elect Bayard t?? that position the first thing on Mon day morning. After this resolution was adopted, the next ques tion that arose was the election of the secretary of the senate. Senator Brown took the position that no legally organized body could transact business until the secretary was elected, as the constitution says that the senate shall elect a secretary to record its proceedings, lienee his election must precede any business that has to be recorded. Home of the other members, including Henutor Voorhocs, took the ground that Hie new senators should lie sworn in first and that the assist ant secretary could lcgnlly record the proceedings. A considerable debate ensued in which Senator Hill participated ill n short but forcible nnd elo quent sjicech in behalf of Senator Brown's position. There was evidently a disposition, and it Is sad to see, among Mr Bayard's friends, to get nil they eould for Mr Itnyurd, nnd then to be very lukewarm about the rest of the oflices. During this debate the republicans had been cr.ucussinp, and had nominated for president of the senate their oldest senator???Mr Anthony, of Rhode Island. They generally conceded among themselves that the democrats had both the right and llie power to elect the president before the new senators were sworn In, and it was determined that they could not afford, before the country, to fill- busier to prevent it, though they would protest anyhow with 11s much dignity as they could throw around a false position against such election by the democrats. After some further discussion,the idea was suggest cd that they might make a trade with the democrats by which the latter would allow them to have the president, for the sake of getting one or both of the i-lher offices, nnd ]>crhiips n part nfjl'.e cotn- the democrats, asking thorn whether they would confer about the organization. This message created quite n stir among the democrats. It was clearly put by some, that if the republicans had the majority that the democrats had, they would take the utmost advantage of it. It was finally determined to hear wlmt the republicans had to say, but not in any event to yield the presidency. A committee was appointed by each caucus and the two met. The republicans wanted the presi dency of the senate. The democrats refused under any circumstances to yield that, nnd the conference came to an abrupt conclusion, having lasted hardly flfteeu minutes. Mr Bayard having secured the presidency is very lukewarm about fighting for anything else. He seems to think that he has a kind of divine right to the assistance of others without doing anything In return, lie was very bitterly opposed last session to fight the republicans, and had his advice been followed the republicans would have succeeded in electing Mahone???s candidates to the offices of secretary and sergeant-at-arms, giving them suffi cient patronage almost to secure the Malionizing of Virginia. Fortunately a few gallant spirits refused to be led by this republican policy of Henutor Bay ard and tbc deadlock and the glorious results to the democrats were the result. lie has returned to this session, however, us badly deficient in back bone ns ever, and it is reported that he said before he would have another deadlock for these offices he would vote with the republicans. If the demo crats elect the secretary before the new senators are sworn in, then the republicans cannot remove him for want of a majority. The committees also have to be chosen for this session. There is no doubt about it, if the republicans had the advantage the democrats have they would take everything; and a few gullant spirits among the democrats, including Senators Brown and Hill, are for adopting the same policy. Mr Bayard and his friends are generally in favor of swearing in Uic new senators before bring ing on the election of the officers. The caucus, however, came to no conclusion, and adjourned at 4 o'clock to meet again at S and continue the dis cussion. Senator llill is looking unusually well, physical ly, and made several speeches to-day, though the wound in Iris tongue lias not yet quite grown up. Until it has, it can???t be known whether his system is entirely free of his malady or not. Senator Brown arrived a little unwell, but is bet ter to-day. There is nothing the matter with his backbone. There is considerable diversity of opinion as to who will be nominated by the democrats for secre tary. I cannot find that any one has any better chance than General Pierce Young of Georgia. Washington, October 8.???[Special.]???The demo? cratic caucus adjourned to-night at half past nine without coming to any conclusion. Henutor Vest made a stalwart democratic speech, but the rest of the senators spoke only in a conversational way. There is still a strong disposition on the part of the Bayard wing to let the secretary???s office remain as it U till the next session; but there was nothing to show what a majority of the canctis favored. They meet again Monday at ten. Washington, October 8.???[Press.]???The repub lican and democratic senatorial caucuses met at the cspitol at 11 o???clock this morning. There was quite a full attendance at both of them, not more than five democrats and four republicans being ab sent. The three new senators. Messrs. Lnphaut, Miller and Aldrich, were present at the republican FEDERAL FOOT-NOTES.

The demo crats still remain in session and have decided to proceed with the election of a president pro tem us wishes them to remain in the positions they now hold. Both of them will remain. Secretary Blaine will retire early, as he re-ally wishes to do. The I story that Blaine wishes to remain in the cabinet is j not true. This was stated to a press agent to-day, by a very prominent republican, who has had the closest personal relations with Blaine. This will be met -.rithin a day or two.

It will be seen that It is not reasonable to anticipate & very large accu mulation d>. ring the month, and the reserve on Xo- vcmber'.M should not vary much from wliaPit is at this time. It cannot be expected, therefore, that extraordinary disbursements ean be made in view of tiie necessary preparation to meet the one hundred and fifth call on December tilth unless bondholders will present those securi ties long- i??st due and for which the money is waiting idle in the treasury vaults. Pro bable'a large part of the aggregate of the weekly purchases will be of uncalled 3)4 per cents, ami the great bulk of the call will have to be met at its ma turity. At east it so seems now.

THE SYDNEY SENSATION. An Italian Sailor Rescued from Captivity Among Sax Fuancimo, Cnl., October 7.???Late Sydney palters received last night by the steamer Australia give a pathetic story of the rescue of a i>oor Italian sailor front captivity among savages on one of the Solomon bland?. He was one of the survivors of the French Italian ('migration expedition under the Marquis de Keyes. The following is the story of the rescue: Captain McLaughlin. who explored several of the islands in rite Solomon group, dis covered a white man miked among the savages on Bonk.'i island and counted seventy war canoes, each containing forty armed savages. Aftereimsid- enible stiatcgcm lie got alongside the canoe con taining the white man, who was ultimately, with some difficulty nnd danger, purchased for three American hatchets. It was discovered that he was an Italian named I.uigi Boom,who lutd been fifteen months a captive with tiie savages. When he found that he was about to be liberated, his joy knew no bounds anil he become almost frantic. lie embraced Captain McLaugh lin in an agony of joy whilst the savages surrounded them shouting, yelling and brandish ing their weapons. Luigi lioero believed he was utterly last. He imagined that he hud been with his captors three years, lie, with five unfortunate mates, left Liki harbor to go on a cruise in an open Imat. Three days afterwards they struck a reef. The boat, unfortunately, was broken, and they fell into the hands of the natives lie got separated from his companions, whom he only saw once afterwards, when they had a fearful tale of suffering to relate. They were treated worse than dogs. They were 'made to do ???Now,??? said Blaine, ???do you still advise me to re main in the cabinet should Arthur desire it???? ???Only until you ean leave without appearing to do so from personal pique or in a manner which would injure the party,??? said his friend. Mr. Blaine???s feeling was tlrcn plainly expressed. He had never contemplated remaining, lie saicl that tiie scene of Garfield???s death was ever present with him, and the long vigil, waiting for the Inevit able death, the last look upon the dead, aud the I bringing of the remttius to the last resting place, had given him a mental and phvsieul shock which only I monthsof rest could cure. lie expressed a kindly feeling for Arthur, who, he was sure, wus anxious to call Garfield???s friends liis own. The statement made by George Bliss in his letter in the New York Sun, of to-day, that he and Brewster had only been retained in the star-route eases, fifteen days ago, put the attitude of Arthur towards the matter in a very different light front that heretofore believed in Washington. The | assertion lias been industriously reiterated since their appearance in the eases, that both hud been engaged by the attorney-general a month ago. It is quite probable that the hatred of tiie star-route people 10 Arthur will soon exceed that felt by them toward Garfield liefure his death. It is becom ing evident that since the new administration lias conic iu, uew vigor has been infused into the prose cution. The canvass for the various senate offices pro- j grasses with unabated vigor.

A SCENE IN COURT. Marvin Fluids Guilty, bnt Denounces Evers' One he . ., Knows. Richmond, October 5???The ease of Marvin, the bigamist and forger, was brought to a sudden and rather unexpected termination in court to-day. When arraigned on the charge of forgery he plead ed guilty. The jury wus then sworn iu to declare the punishment, whicli was fixed at five yours iu the penitentiary. A similar punishment was also allotted him for bigamy, he having pleaded guilty to this charge, making his full term in prison ten years. Previous to the sentence being pronounced in the latter ease, in response to the usual question asked, whether he had anything to say. Marvin rose anil made a lengthy harangue, full of invectives anil demiueiatimi of those charged with his custo dy here nnd the witnesses in attendance front the north. His remarks displayed so much vindictive ness and venom townru the city officials and wit nesses that when he concluded, Iris counsel addrecred t he court in deprecation of his client???s lan guage. He said lie bail found tlrisold man (Marvin) in jail, without'money and without friends, nnd he told him lie would defend him to the Inst extrem ity; not one dollar had been given him by the prisoner. He hail advised Marvin to plead guilty, as he thought it wits the best course lie could pursue. Mr. Page said that he had had the fullestTnmrcor.rse with Marvin since the latter had been his client, and that the prisoner hud not been deprived eg a single right that any man might ex pect.' iUe felt that it was a poor return that tiie prisoner tpid made him in denouncing some of his (Page???s) friends. He had befriended the accused without tmy regard as what lie was, anil done all he could for 61m. Page then left Marvin???s side. Judge lti id well, of New York, one of the wit nesses then spoke indignantly of Marvin???s language. He, Bridv ell, laid done nil he could to ameliorate the condition of the prisoner, and it was owing to his eiforts tlv.t the case hail taken this course. He now felt that he had done injustice to himself and to thA.commonwealth of Virginia in taking this position aud lessening rite punishment of tiie pris oner. In.deUv.ring the sentence the judge said that it would be unbecoming to rcsiiond to any Of the statemer: s that had been made by the prisoner, but the prisoner, he said, after confessing such crimes ns he bad confessed, eould not expect any credence tobegiv. if to his statements without having them fully Corroborated Marvin node an effort to again address the court, bnt Judge Stanley commanded him to take his seat.

Had that not occurred, or had he recovered, 110 doubt the investigation would have been prosecuted. The Gazette, of this city, has published an article upon Assistant Secretary Upton of the treasury, repre senting that he is worth over 8350,000, all made since he came into the office upon an average salary of 81,500 tier year; that be owns a $10,000 farm in Coma, a block of houses in Washington worth $10,- 000 and has about $200,000 in United States securi ties. This publication also aileges that Upton allowed a $250,000 claim of McEvven, an Indiana agent, after it had been dis allowed by First Comptroller Lawrence by reversing Lawrence's decision, and of the $511,000 already paid on that claim, Upton got 850.000. The Gazeue next repeats the accusation, said to have been brought out in tiie treasury in vesiigatiou. thut Upton approved an allowance of money in offieial accounts to pay for copies of Lam- phere s book. This article maintained that it was Upton who stopped the investigation. Upton lias addressed a letter to the paper, asking who is the responsible owner.

October 7.???The gia house, press, engine, and one hundred and fifty bales of c >tton belonging to IV. M. Simms, seven miles north of here, were burned this afternoon. Mr. Simms estimates his loss at ten thousand dollars; insurance two thousand. lieans are to meet with a view to bringing both parties together iu an agreement for an organ ization of the senate. The public debt statement for September is some what illusive, so fonts the condition of the cash balance is concerned. The fact is that while the available cash on hand wus put at $180,029,000 on September 30, the cash now is suddenly reduced to very near the minimum on the basis of reserve of forty per cent of rite outstanding legal tenders. The statement is tnideading simply because it is made up to the evening of the last day of the month, nt which time the trne condition of the treasury is given. The very next day, however, the conditions were changed. Attention has been called before to the fact thut on October 1 the $10,829,000 of called _ istered 5s beeatne due, aud this amount oi money hail to be set aside, und is no longer avail able cash except for the specific purpose of paying the bonds under the 105th call as they may be pre sented. There are two other terms, however, that have been overlooked that are deductions from the available cash. The quarterly interest luyinelit is due and tiie cheeks have actually gone out to the amount of $7,380,000.

It is learned from a source equally entitled to credit that some of those who were near to the president during his entire illness, besides Boynton, were nearly ready with a statement similar to that which it wus supposed that I)r Boynton hud iu eon tem pin tion. A gentleman who has the means of knowing what this statement would be says that it, among other things, would, and proba bly will, eontain the following: That from August 12 the president hail imperfect command of Iris mental faculties..and that he had only lucid inter vals. He often found it difficult to complete sen tences, and his mind would wander towards the end of nearly every attempt at a sentence. Many of the sayings attributed to him were either misunder stood, or were not correctly reported from the sick chamber.

Private Secretary Brown says all expenses incurred during the sickness of the president will be regarded as deb ts of file estate, and file hills will be called for by file trustees. If congress so desires, a schedule of thc Jills will he furnished for auy action that they may see fit to take. If an appropriation is- made covering the expense incurred, the estate will he relieved from the payment. Thetrustees will proceed on the theory, which is a perfectly correct one. that these expenses are private debts,and not ^an indebtedness of the government. Mr Brown said that he has noidea of what the entire expense of the sickness of the president will amount to. So far no bills have been presented, and probably will not be until the trustees call for them. The affairs relating to file estate will shortly be turned over to trustees that will he appointed.

New York, October 0.???Panama advices state that around Lima and 6 miles from the capital, are now eneamx*ed not less than 12,000 bandits. In antici pation of an attack from them, the Chilians, who number but 7,000, have encamped outside the city and placed their field artillery in position on the Pino Sanbaltotne and other hills once occupied by the Peruvians, and commanding the valleys around Lima. Only a few companies remain in the city and one. that of the artillery stationed near the exhibition Tiie Peruvians will not make the feared attack unless they do so in conjunction with an uprising in the city, which secret agents are trying to effect. The e loss of life will be fearful if it is made. Tiie Chilians have proclaimed that they will send for 5,000 more troops if any further warlike signs ap- lsear, in addition to the 5,000 which were expected by the steamer Arragonns two days ago. In antici pation of the renewal of war, Chilian troops from the north are being drawn down nearer Lima. Tiie steamer Chili Isas brought-to Callao a battery of artiilery.and some cavalry and infantry from Supe, ami gone buck for more. As soon as the troops were withdrawn from these places the Mon- toueros descended upon both and levied tribute. The Montoncros also descended upon Yea. and have given the population ten days to i>ay a tribute of $150,000, or have their town burned.

GpOWING IN THE SAME FIELD. ???I would ride a thousand mile3 any day,??? said Colonel Ben Lockett, the great cotton planter of Georgia, reflectively, as he leaned over the plank fence at the exposition grounds yesterday, ???to see this little field of cotton, and no cotton planter in file south ought to fail to see it as it is probaby a sight that he ean never look on again and which has never been seen in this country before.??? Tne colonel was lookinginto the field of eottou collected from all ports of the world growing as it is grown in its native country and it was fills that called forth his enthusiastic praise. The field is really a marvel of agriculture. 11 is an enclosure of a very few acres, where, growing side by side, can be seen every variety of cotton plant tlmyran be grown upon this earth. There is cotton from India, from Hindoos tan, from China, from Japan, from Australia, the north coast of Afri ca, Brazil, Chili, and the South Sea islands, the cape of Good Hope, Mexico, Central America, Bombay, large, broom com with heads two feet in length; Chinese .sugar cane as tall as a giraffe, and bundles of oats and other small grain of surpassing excel lence. Ensilage. Yesterday Mr Mark Hardin was busily engaged at the exposition grounds filling two silos with ensi lage. These silos ha ve been constructed by the ex- porilion company &lely far the benefit of the farm ing public, and the manipulation of forage crops, which is now going on, will afford an interesting part of the exposition. One is a model silo and is bricked up and cemented, while the other is plain, and the walls are the natural clay with a coating of ccmc-nt. Mr. Hardin had an engine and cutter run ning yesterday cutting up potato vines, sorghum, pea vines, rag weeds, etc., with which the silos were being filled. When full there will be twenty-five tons of the ensilage. A Constitutor reporter asked Mr Hardin how much it would take to keep a horse a day. He replied: ???It will take about sixty pounds per day for a horse, and we will have it Jed to stock right hero during thc three mouths, os it will be ready in a few days.??? ???When will Dr Bailey, the great ensilage man be here???? ???The last of this month.??? ???
