Of its radical difference from tho policy which,

Special Dispatch to The Chttaoo Tribune.
WAsn1SGTos, D. c., April GA number Of Re-
publican Senators now favor holding caucus
next week, with ii view Of trying to come to an
agreement to hold executive sessions to consider
important nominations. This move docs not In
cludc the idea OF abandoning tho pending contest
over the Organization Of the Senate. One Of the
most prominent Republican Senators said yes
terday that in his opinion, the Senate would be
here all summer. a prominent Democratic
Senator said to-day: 1.-The Democratic side OF
the Senate intends that the Virginia election
shall be htld without tho help Of Mr.. Kiddlebcr-
ger as Sergeant alarms or the Sennte. Tho
Virginia election tases place in November.
OTIIf.l. VIEWS.
WAsH1SGToS, d. C., April 9.-Although the
Senate is not in session. there has been number
Of Informal conferences between Senators In re-
gard tt bringing to an end he struggle going on
in the Senate, and Il more hopeful feeling pre-
waits that Il conclusion may be reached within
the next ten durs. resulting III the virtual sue
cess Of the Republicans 1t appears that several
Of tho struggle. and are willing to accept some
compromise On the part of many Democratic
Senators it is simply question of keeping in
office some political fAyorits.
TIE IDEA HAS BEEN ADVANCED
on tue part Of some Democrats that II the Re
publtcans will consent to allow the present uf-
ttccrs Of the Senate to draw their pny for three
months und also to retain from one-1hiru to huif
Of the subordinate officers, that so!utiGu uf
the present difficulty may be reached. From
these hints thrown out it is apparent TINT the
Democrats have not destroyed tho bridge be-
.insl them, but are likely to come to terms be-
fore many days. Some leading Republicans arc
moro determined than ever that no compromise
can be u,ade, but others are OF opinion that the
dead iock will pe broken by some arrangement
by which the Republicans will substantially gain
their point

GENERAL ANDERSON,
VIRGINIA.

Virginia is 10 4 Nirginian what our en-
tire country is to us. Their State is theiI
country; they speak Of it as their " Moth.
En-" and for generations this has been in
stilled into the minds Of Virginia youth,
till he who has seen its surprising develop
ment cannot wonder much at Lee and
Jackson going with their State even when
she struck madly at the Union which they
loved and the flag which they reyered.
We Of the North know next 10 moth
ing about such a sectional education,
and those who have not closely stu
died its manifestations here cannot
appreciate its power over the minds
Of men who would repel an insinuation
against their "loyalty." " Ask the average
Jerseyman II he would be glad to die for
New Jersey, and he would probably in
quirc Whist asylum you escaped from.
While we have great and just pride IN
the honorable traditions and record Of our
little State, yet State lines are little to us
comparatively, and we would draw our
swords almost as freely 10 defend New
York or Pennsylvania. Not so the old
time southerner. lie rarely travelled be-
yOnd the limits OF his State. He knows
every family in his county, and his State
was the only world he knew or cared much
about.
A trip to the Capitol and sight at the
historic relics i'm the State Library COM
plcted a most enjoyable trip. Every cOur-
tesy was shown us that man could ask, and
we carried away from the late capitaloi the
late Coniederacy n most grateful rccollec-
ton Of kindness and hospitality Morley

A Personal Explanation.

A copy OF the list OF white voters who
have failed to pay the capitation-tax for
1880 may be seen ut Democratic headquar-
ters, Main street next door to the First
National Bank, or at the Daniel Club head
quarters, Main street near Thirteenth, or
at the Hastings Court room.
II you have any doubt as TO whether you
have raid the tax for 1880 examine this
delinquent list. Also take down the names
Of delinquent friends and notify them that
they must pay up before they can vote.
Pay Andrew Jinkins.
4 copy OF the printed paid poll-tax list
may be seen at the same places. III your
name Is on neither the printed nor the de-
linquent list, then it is evidence that you
have not been assessed. All who have
not been assessed must apply TO Commits
sioner Mupiord, City Hall, and after
wards pay The tax.
A great many men think that they have
paid this tax, but do not feel certain.
Such should either hunt up their receipts,
and thus inform themselves, or examine
the lists. II is n good plan anyhow to
hunt up your receipts. Those who have
them in hand TO show the judges Of election
will save delay at the polls.
Look up your receipts.
Receipts signed by Andrew Jinkins or
his deputies, or by Assistant Treasurer S.
G. Tinsley or his deputies, will be good at
the polls.
