The Struggle in the Senate.
WAsHINGToN, Apl

PROPOSED REPUBLICAN Caucus.
There is no foundation for a statement
published here tonight that the republican
senators propose to meet in caucus on Satur-
day, although it is very probable that they
may hold caucus early next week. Some
think that the republicans may determine to
60 into executive session for the confirmation
OF the more important nominations, and then
resume the contest for an election of new
officers.
ANTI-BOURBoN SENTIMENT AT THE SourH.
Gen. Malone to-day said that every mail
brings him new indications of the spread of
the anti-bourbon movement in the Southern
States, and that there is every reason to be-
lieve that in the elections this fall, the anti
bourbons will sweep Virginia. He saws that
the readjusters have lost but one man on ac-
count Of his attitude in the Senate, and that
man was never heartily with them and voted
for the bourbon Presidential ticket. Gen.
Malone says that the Texas senators are dis.
covering that they are not supported by the
people of their State in uniting with the
bourbons in the Senate, as the four leading
democratic newspapers Of Texas support
Mahone's attitude. In Arkansas. too, he
learns that there is already break from the
solid democracy, and one of the former lead
ment. In the Carolinas and in Florida there
are, he says, constant indications OF an in
creasIng opposition to bourbonism. General
Malone is evidently earnest and sincere in
the belief that the present contest in the Sem
ate offers the first real promise that it will be
possible to break up the solid SOUTH Ii the
republicans do not stand firm now. Malone
SAYS that it will be useless hereafter for anv
person inside the democratic party in the
South to arise in opposition to bourbonism.
and that the fact of the fa lure to be support.
ed BY the liberal element in the North in this
struggle would be cited as bar to any fu.
attempts in the same direction.
The REPUBLICANS FIRM.
Notwithstanding numerous democratic RI.
mors 1t cannot be learned that there is apv
purpose on the part of the republicans to re.
cede from their position. The democrats for
some DAYS have been stating that the republi
cans would hold caucus on SATURDAY., and
that that would be the beginning of the end
ont no republican senators have heard of any
disposition to yield hairs breadth from the
position they have taken. The republican,
indeed, seem more convinced than thew we're
at the outset that thsre is a possibility of
helping to break up the solid South bv tbi.

tinuing in their present position.

Augusta, Saturday Morning, April le.
The Bourbons and Malone.

One fact has been broughtoutin the wran-
giles in the Senate chamber which is worth
keeping in mind II is that the democrats
claimed Malone before the extra session
began. and only discovered taat he was a
repudiationist when he took his seat upon
the republican side and cast his vote
against the Bourbons. II even appears
that they lavished upon him many signs
OF great affection, indicating to him that il
there was any man in the Senate for
whom they had especial respect. it was
for Mr. Malone of Virginia. They did
not it seems attempt to bride him. for that
they dill not dare to do. but they tried
every way short Of that, to get him to vote
with them. A Tribune correspondent
who took pains to investigate the matter
saws: at is believed that one Northern dem
ocratic Senator went so far as to write to
General Malone, expressing his sympathy
and commencing the course of the Vir.
gilman. and assuring him that nearly all
the democratic Senators were of the same
mind, having become convinced that he
represented the true democracy of Vir-
ginia. In this letter, it is believed, the
writer sought to impress on General Ma
ests would be safe in the keeping OF the
democratic party in the Senate, and that
he would only need to make his person
al wishes and preferences known in or
der to have them recognized and gratified.
This letter is also believd to have contained
a request that when General Malone came
to Washington to attend thee Senate he
would not 90 to a hotel. but would make
his home with the writer. This is be-
lieved to be correct outline OF the con-
tents of the letter. Who wrote the letter
is not positively known, but the name Of
Senator Mcpherson of New Jersey has
been mentioned in connection with its au-
thorship.'
After being thus cnaInorcd Of General
Malone, it i'll becomes the Bourbons to
turn upon him with such abuse and perse-
cution rs they have served him with. and
jeer at republicans for associating with him.
They went down upon their knees to him in
the dust to induce him to act with them. II
he were repudiationist, a traitor, man
in the market. having no following in
his State but mean trash. why treat him
with such marked favor and respect on
the first days Of the session
Mr. Malone had mind of his own
and because he did what he thought was
right and voted with the republicans,
every Bourbon hound from Delaware to
Georgia has been let loose upon him to
hunt him down. and republicans are re.
viled because he is found in their com.
pany Thus far the democrats have got
decidedly the worst OF it in their warfare
upon Malone. He has proved himself a
match for their biggest bullies in the Sen
ate. and placed them in such an attitude
that even their Southern constituents must
blush for them.
