FROM WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, D. G. March 10, 1877.
As several versions of alleged differences in
the recent Senate caucus have been put in
circulation it may be proper to give the facts
The question was as to what should lie the
status ofthe Democratic Senators toward Gov.
Hayes as the occupant Of the White House
Some advocated that there should be a syste-
matte resolve TO abstain from all personal in
tercolrse with Hayes, or from any action
which could be construed to recognize him as
the rightful occupant of the White House -
This gave rise to a lengthy and excited dis
cusson which indicated a proftless result. A
motion was then made TO limit the debate.
Judge Thurman, who had been doing good
deal of talking, took umbrage at this and de-
nounced it as an attempt TO gag. The Sena-
tor who had made the motion withdrew it,
but another senator, who had Just come in,
renewed it and il was carried to the great
disgust Of Judge Thurman who docs not like
to be cut off in his remarks. After II is

remarks to the effect that the Old Wings Of the
South could be captured by the loaves and

They resented any intimation of want Of lidel-
ity to the democratic party by those with whom
they had been allied whereupon the subject
dropped. The caucus did not arrive at any
formal decision as to what would be the rcla-
iiops between the democratic senators and the
occupant of the White House, as it was
thought perhaps more proper and expedient
that the determination of such a question
should be left TO individual opinion aud judy
men,. SO far, however, with but single
exception, the circumstances of which are
such that it can scarcely be SO denominated,
no democratic senator has put his foot inside
the portals of the White House since the 4th
of March.
Had Gov. Hayes been disposed for personal
reasons to retain Don Cameron in the cabinet
he would have found such retention incom-
patible with the carrying ont Of his new South
ern policy Don took the most decided stand
of any member Of Grants cabinet against the
slightest relaxation of the federal grip on the
South.
Garfield, at the request of Hayes has con.
cluded to remain in the House instead OF go
ing for the Senate thinking that he eau be
more useful to bis fraudulency where he now
is.
The odium Judges of the so-called Supreme
Court of the L. S. will make their Official
