TBE COMMITTEE NOT READY.
The caucus committee was not ready tc
report last night. So no nominations were
made.
The trouble Is with the Republicans
They want one third Of the offices. Most
fof all they desire 10 name the county
Judges; but in addition to that they think
they are entitled to one or two OF the Capt..
tol Offices.
Mr.. Dyson and George ". Young, Esq,
both from the Fourth congressional dis
trict, are claiming places. II one were out
OF the way 'tother would be comparatively
happy. As 1t Is the chances are that
neither will get anything. They want the
office OF Second Auditor, or, failing in that,
the Land Office. General Malone leans to-
wards Dyson, it is SAID.
|. Mf. L. T. Fauntleroy, who was thought
10 have sure thing of it for Secretary OF
the Common wealth, may In the end have to
give way for Republican. II is claimed
that the secretaryshlp was promised Mr..
Hoxie-one OF the few Republican Read
iusters about here. Somebody has been
telling the darkies about certain speeches
made in the House last year by Mr.. Faun-
tleroy, notably that one in which he spoke
so eloquently against putting negroes on iu-
ries. And, by the way, Mr.. Massey, or his
way to Richmond, expressed his surprise
and horror that Judge Cochran, OF Abe
marie, had summoned negro jury to try q
case mentioned in our correspondence.
THE "Boss" TALKS TO THE "BoYs."
All day yesterday and on The evening be-
fore The negro members, and some OF tue
white ones, were violent in their talk about
not being fairly treated, &C., &c. General
Malone saw several OF these rebelliouS
folks, and succeeded in talking them into
submission.
The caucus was in session but short
time last night. 1T was loVe-feast. Some
OF the brethren related their experience.
Complaints against the committee were
uttered, it is true, but there was not the
slightest sign of purpose to "bolt."
One of the members who had been most
violent in his complaints against the COM
mittee declared that he meant to fight for
his friends all he knew how before the cau-
Gus; but that when it decided against him
be would submit. [Great applause.l He
Said he would surrender all his friends, and
even bis own life, before he would leave the
party. [Cheers.]
The Readiusters talked mighty pretty to
the negroes, but made no specific promises.
The caucus OF members OF the two houses
was adjourned, subject to the call Of the
chairman. for the Readiusters to consult
among themselves aud determine what they
can give the Republicans.
THE SENATE CAUCUS.
Immediately after the adjournment OF the
JOINT caucus the Readiusters OF the Senate
met in conference in the hall OF the House
OF Delegates to consider the question OF
amending the rules with reference to the
appointment OF committees. 1t is stated
that there is dissatisfaction at the appoint
ments OF Lieutenant Governor Walker, and
proposition will be introduced in the Sen

the appointment OF the committees in open
Senate, The caucus also decided to vote
against the confirmation Of Hon. John L.
Marye, appointed by the Board OF Educa-
tion county superintendent OF schools for

differences now existing in the ranks OF the
Rri1iIIStprS growing out of the diSSati iSfac-
ton on the part OF their Republican friends
received for "going over" 1t is stated
that there is also trouble in the party grow
ing out OF little unpleaSantnesS existing
between two prominent TT taGiusters, both
OF whom are said to be aspirants for cer-
tain honorable Office, as well rs for leader
ship in their ranks.
