WASHINGTON. D. O., Dc. 5, 1880.
The democratic caucus 10 morrow that de-
perds up5n Tie pIes2Ice Of 9 quorum CT deno-
cratic ncnbers will, it is supposed to day. DO
delayed uatil Monday, in consequence of an
unexpected delsy IN tho arrival of members
only about one hundred. OF oil parties, beiog as
set in the city. Among those who have arrived
is Mr.. Cabel. of Virginia. Nj. CabelI says
that Stoval. The defeated Mahonio candidate
10 tie h district, will contest his seat, but
that he, Csbell, is by 10 means anxious about the
result. as The Only apparent ground upon watch
Stcyal! b:s.s bis clntest is tie refusal OF the
Judges of ekc ion inDanville to ac,spt the votes
Of some negroes, and that this c,n be s.'ls'ao-
tcrily refuted BY proving that thsy had regis
tered 10 two or three different places aud were
REQUIRED to swear that they bad voted 10 one
7 &c, before thsir votes were accepted OF al
other.
The fact that Though Senator'S Blaine and
Elmu1ds w,ro both 10 the city when MIR.
Hayes entertained President elect Garfield et
dinner, nsither Of them was invited thereto is
tho CAUSE of sone talk here, and it is ssid that
they sra both off, not only with tho present,
but with the next administration. 1t CERTAINLY
looks as If tics, two gentlemen had DO follow.
iDg 10 tho Senate now, aud es the democrats
there have no leaders, and % pcllilcsl parties
arc 10 rather disorgan:z,d condition, 1t might
be advisable for them TO Reizo this opportunity
to Como ever to the democrats, assume the
leadership. thereof, aud reap the prefcrme0t
tina! would b, surs to follow successful! opDo
