Correspondence OF the New York Herald.
WAsHlNGToN, April 9.-Tho general
pellet this evening Is that both sides in
the Senate are more than ever deter
mined to remain obstinate. Tho Re.
publican caucus held this morning was
not fully attended, several Senators
being out of town. Several of those
present desired 10 proceed to execu-
tive business, but tho largely prevail
ing sentiment was IN favor Of "fighting
1t out" This determination arises out
OF the belief that the result Of the pres-
Ont struggle Is likely to have an inn
portant effect on Southern politics.
There are still a number Of Senators
ready to speak, and If the deadlock
lasts long tho Southern political situa-
ton will he very thoroughly ventilot-
ed. The furious attacks on General
Mahone from the Democratic side are
thought likely 70 be productive Of
good results by the Republicans, and
those appear to have made up their
minds to chow the Southern independ-
ents that they will stand by mon like
Malone to the uttermost and ut any
Inconvenience. Some Senators who
at first doubted the advisability of
placing Southern independent like
Mr.. Riddleberger on the list of the
Senate officers made up by the Repub-
lcan caucus now say that as It was
done they will stand by him and elect
him II it takes all summer, merely to
prove to the Southern independents
that they may look for stanch allies and
hrm defenders on tho Republican side,
The Democrats, on their part, seem to
20 equally determined to prevent tho
election ofofficcrs before the executive
business Is attended to.
Meantime Individually and priyatelv
number ofSenators on both sides are
heartily tired Of the whole fuss, and Il
may happen any day that several will
absent themselves out Of sheer disgust
and thus break the deadlock.
A WAY OUT OF THE NEW YORK p1rE1-
GUILTY.
There is some talk here among Re.
PuD!lcans about change in the New
York plans Of the administration. If
is urged that the New York collector
ship cannot be given to any New York
politician Of either faction without
causing ill-feeling and break into tho
harmony of tho party; that tho true
way would be to give this important
place to some one from another State
entirely unconnccted with Now York
Poiitlcs and having either no relations

THE REFUNDING QUESTION.
Secretary Window returned here
late this afternoon and went immcdi.
ately to tho White House to see the
and it Is believed that the plan To he
pursued by the Treasury will then be
determined on. 1t Is understood that
Secretary Window found the banks
ready and willing to give him every
assistance In their power to facilitate
whatever plane he may adopt. Il was
understood that the banks throughout
the country hold about $46, 900, 600 of
SKIES and $l60, 900, 900 offives, redeem
able this year, and 1t Is thought that
the Secretary may propose to them
come special arrangement in regard to
these bonds. If, as has been suggested
In New York, the banks could be got
TO agree to accept lower rate of In
terest on the S20O,00O,OOO Of bonds
held by them until Congress next win
ter shall pass a funding act, this would
help to settle the problem. It Is not
thought hero now in woll informed
circles that there Is sufficient authority
for the issue Of treasury notes which
has been discussed.
Thore Is q growing belief that there
