LOCAL MATTERS.

CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS YESTERDAY MORN
IEG.-A caucus Of the Conservative members
OF the General Assembly was held in the
hall OF the House Of Delegates yesterday
morning, Senator w. D. Quesenberry, OF
Caroline, in the chair.
The object Of the caucus having been
stated, Judge Ould offered the following:
Resolced, That the Governor be requested
to withhold his signature to the general tax
bill and call an extra session of the Legisla-
lature for the purpose OF reconsidering it.
Messrs. Ould and kirkpatrick spoke in
favor OF the resolution, while Messrs. Stuart,
Popham, and Winn expressed their santi.
menls against it. Judge Thomas said that
one Of the largest merchants of Richmond
had told him that while the tax imposed
upon him was very heavy, yet he was will
ing to bear it, and in the end believed it
would do him good in the return he would
receive from tue restoration of the Stute's
credit.
From the beginning to the end Of the eau.
Gus, which lasted little more than an hour,
motions to adjourn were continually being
made. At about 1880 one prevailed, and
the caucus adjourned without taking any
positive action upon Judge Ould's resolu-
ton.
half an hour afterwards the tax bill re.
ceiYed the signature Of Governor Kemper,
and 1t is therefore now in force.
