The caucus of Democratic Senators to-day was almost wholly in fnvor of providing for a repeal of theteBtoath in the manner indicated at the ' joint Democratic cauciiB Monday night. Whether it would be proper to attach a proposition referring to the drawing of jurors and the amendment for the repeal ot the election law to an Appropriation bill, were very generally discussed, and the prevailing opinion was opposed to such action. MR. MATTHEWS. notify the Emperor of China that this Government abrogates the exiaing treaty from and after the hrst ot July tlierealter. Air. Thurman said he had a very tew wordB to say on the bill and nothing to say on the general question involved. What he would say would be as to the mode of limning immigration. To him it seemed perfectly clear it would be ruinous to this or any other country to say a treaty could be only ended by the negotiation of a new treaty. If that doctrine was true the Empire of China, by refusing to negotiate a new treaty, could hold the United States to this, no matter how pernicious it might be to us. He argued the power of abro gating treaties rested on Congress. Immigration of Chinese to the United States always had been a more suitable subject for legislation than for treaty. In case the treaty Bhould be simply abrogated, the Chinese could still come to this coun try, unless there was legislation to pre vent them. He opposed the amendment of Mr. Matthews. Mr. Sargent submitted several amend ments to the bill of a verbal character, and they were agreed to. He also submitted an amendment as an additional section, providing that the act shall not apply to persona officially connected with the Chinese Government or any embassy thereof, or to persons rescued from shipwreck during a voyage of and by a vessel bringing the same within the jurisdiction ot me united states. Agreed to. Also an amendment directing the Presi dent, immediately upon the approval of the act, to give notice to tne government of China of the abrogation of articles 5 and 6 of the additional articles of the treaty of June 18, 1858, commonly called the Uurhngame treaty. Agreed to, Mr. Jones of Nevada then made a long argument in favor of restricting Chinese immigration. Mr. Hoar movea to aajourn. Mr. Sarircnt urged that the Senate re main in session and dispose of thematter. Mr. Windoin said he would insist upon the Appropriation bills to-morrow. The senate by a rising vote, yeas ii, s 31, retuscd to adjourn. . fr. Conkling submitted the' following as a substitute for the amendment of Mr. Matthews: That the President of the United States is hereby requested imme FOREIGN. recent struggle "would not go down" and if there was no pabulum on which certain stalwart patriots could feed except that restless shade, he wanted the gentle man from Ohio (Keifer) to state what he meant in the shape of Southern claims, by which he was accustomed to affright the country.

In the House of Commons to-day Lord George F. Hamilton, Vice President of the Council, in reply to inquiries, said the We understand that tho friends of Messrs. Jones and Dennison, who are candidates for the Democratic nomina tion for Mayor, are using some of the incidents of tho railroad strike ol 1877 as a club against Mayor Heitmann, who is a candidate for rcnomination at the hands of tho Democracy. Mr. Jones, especially, is put forward as a man who docs not sympathize with Mayor Heitmnnn's action at the time of the strike, and who will do wonderful things for the workingmen should ho be elected Mayor. As this is a Democratic fight or funeral, pcrhnps we may be supposed to rest easy as to the fate of individuals; but the Joncs-Dennison plan of campaigning suggests something which ought to bo said on general principles. What would Mr. Jones, for instance, hnvo done bad he been in the situation of Mayor Heitmann? Would he have refused to in terfere when unauthorized persons were undertaking to control properly which did not belong to them, and to prevent the employment of men who were willing to work on tho terms proposed by the railroad company?

Application was made to the Governor yesterday for a warrant for the arrest of David Levine, of Cincinnati, on a requisition from the Governor of New York. Levlne is charged with obtaining goods under false pretenses. Edgar M. John son and Charles V. Baker appeared against the requisition. As there is a large number of papers in the case, the Governor and Attorney General will take several days toexsmino them before mak ing their decision known. A warrant was also asked tor tho ar rest of Samuel Bowles on a requisition from the Governor of Indiana, where he has been Indicted in Dearborn county, for forgery, Alex. Long, Mr. Kramer and T. C. Campbell appeared for the requisition, and Hon. Samuel F.

In this case it was decided that Hamilton county having ac quired jurisdiction, the application lor a warrant to take the prisoner to Indiana would not be complied with, at least not for the present, until Bowles has had a hearing in Hamilton county. Should the Indiana authorities then conclude to re new the application it might receive a different consideration. AMUSEMENTS. Opera llonae.

The jubilee singing ond walk-nround dancing are very popular fcattirea of the entertainment. Altogether the Toe Guards, under whose auspices the play is given, deserve liberal patronage, not only on ac-couut of their good standing as a military organisation, but on account of the merits of the dramatic performance.
