DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
WASHINGTON, March 15th-It is supposed
that the Democrats are in caucus now rear
ranging committees in accordance with last
evenings developments in the Senate. Some
of the Democratic Senators refused to go in
to caucus this morning. not denying that
they were disguised with the caucus agreeing
to = line of action and then disregarding it.
The Democrats who staid out are those
who insisted upon prompt organization while
the Democrats had the majority. The caucus
this afternoon engaged in discussion over
the action of the party, in which consider
able criticism was INDUCED in, because OF the
alleged waste of time in effecting the organ
| ization. Some who are angry at the dilatory
action of the Democrats, say they might as
well give upat once, but evidently the Demo
cratic plan of action will be to let matters re-
main as now, and not force action until the
Republican vacancy is filled, and then sub
NIT to the majority.
PRESS COMMENTS ON MAHoNE's COURSE.
NEW YORK, March 15th.-The Herald's
! Washington special says as to Mahone's
course 1t is not only honorable TO him, butt
1
| tonight by handful of Virginia Republican
spoilsmen, whose effort has been for many
years to keep the Republican party in their
| State as small as possible. in order that each
of these grumblers might have IS much pat
ronage to divide as possible. Mahone's posi-
ton breaks the solid Democracy of Virginia
and breaks the solid South, and Hills abuse
of Malone will help to do it. Every legiti
mate interest in Virginia has reason TO rejoice
A. IL - 1,o@o
| Bourbons in the Senate as be last year re-
pudiated and defeated the Bourbons in his
own State If Democratic Senators like Hill
of Georgia are furious it is because they see
that the intelligence and progressive spirit of
the South are weary of the Democratic party,
recognizing that it is hopeless organization
as now constituted, and that in the South
particularly it bars the way to all healthful
progress.
The Tribune says: The incident is chiefly
! important for what il promises. If it means
that the despotic discipline of the Demo
cratic party of the South has been shaken
at last; that the impatience Of sensible men
in that section with party grown great and
insolent by fraud and oppression is beginning
to manifest itself couregeously, then yester-
day was a red-letter day in American poll
tics. Surely neither Malone nor any one
else will be impressed in the least by the silly
| Democratic cries or traitor. he mas
done what any one of the thirty-seven Dem
ocrats in the chamber might be proud to
have done. He has shown his willingness to
vote against an attempt to seize mean
advantage in organizing the United States
Senate
The WorlGs editorial says of Malone: To
every sale there are two parties. The odium
of selling his Senatorial vote remains with
Malone, but the odium of buying it belongs
to the Republicans. The Republicans have
made bad bargain. It cannot be forgotten
that the particular doctrine on which Ma
hone has secured his success in Virginia is
one with which Republicans can have no
possible sympathy. Integrity of the suffrage
is no more cardinal Republican principle
than is inviolability of public credit Ma
hone has made his fight in his State pro-
fessedly on the issue of reputation. If his
present cooperation with the Republicans
involves the use of patronage in Virginia to
promote the doctrine, it will be very dearly
bought.
