WasmnetoN, D. C., Feb. 17.—There has scarcely been a more exciting day in Washing- ton since Sumpter was fired on than this. The Democratic party has fallen into three factions, the desperate, the despondent, and the moder- ate. To-day everything has been chaotic. Be- fore Monday morniug it is expected that the public will know whether these three factions can unite upon a definite policy with respect to the Presidential couut, or whether the party will be reot into at least two permanently sepa- rate factions. To-day at 10 o’clock mearly every Demovrat was fn his seat in the House. Previous notice had been given that prompt attendance was desired. The rank and file of the party assetabled in little knots about the fioor couversing with Democratic members of tne Electoral Tribunal, like sheep without a leader. There was the most intense excitement. ‘Tue desperate men were of conrse the noisfest, n ol TOREATENED REVOLUTION. Their policy is to defeat the completion of the PresiGential count, to preveut in fact the as- sembling of another Joint Convention; to com- pel the resignation of the Democratic members of the Electoral Commission, to undothat which two weeks ago they were so - anxious to accom- plish. Buteventhemost desperate could suggest no definite policy. They were met at cvery hand by tae tolluwing sugzestions of thewr more moderute associates: * The Compromise bili as emphatically A DEMOCRATIC MEASURE. Io the Sepate one Democrat ooly voted against it, and 1 the Houseijt passed by much more than a two-thirds majority. It received Tilden’s approval, was submitted to him days betore it pussed the caucus. The pledge of the party has been given to its support. Besides, the people, almost without division, would destroy the party which refused to submit to the arbitration, and if they rebel, wuat then? The Republican party are now united, and would certainly do one of two or three things. Tie Vice-Presidens of the Senate would complete the count inde- pendent of the House, and Hayes would be in- augurated despite fihbustering, or the Repub- licans mitzht ELECT MATES PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE, and if anew eclection was declared he wonld then be President; or if it shall prove that the contingency in which the uew election contem- plated Dby the Constitution snd the law of 1795 has not arrived, the Senate couid elect Morton Vice-President, and the Dem- ocrats would prefer Hayes for four vears to him. Besides, to filibuster would destroy all the Democrats hoped to save out of this grand union an}a fature for their party.” The revolutionists did not answer. They only knew that the army ouglit to be thrown fntothe Potomac River, President Grant impeached, Packard killed, aod the Supreme Court im- peached, and the Republican party sent to the demnition bow-wows forever. TUE MODERATE DEMOCRATS, composed largely of Southern men, of repre- sentatives of Northern commercial centres, of old Whigs, of men who hate Tilden and are dis- gusted with the Orezon infamy, connseled moderation, pointed to plighted faith and personal honor, und said that there was nothing for the Democratic party or for honorable men to do but to submit to the award of the arbi- tration. Prominent amoug those who counseled g0 wisely were some of the most distinguished members of the Democratic party. Senator Thurman said that tne Democrats conld not re- 1y upon him in any revolutionary scheme. Sen- ator Bayard said -filibustering would add fo- famy to this defeat. Jere Black declared that BEVOLUTION WAS IMPOSSIULE, USELRSS, and Le fraternized with his old Republican friends. He and Groesbeck, of Cincinnati, who has been brought here as special counsel, told some of his hot-headed friends that he had not a word of fault to find with the tribunal; that there were very grave questions to be consider- ed on both sides; that it was a serlous thing to go behind the Governor's certificate fn a ques- tion of this sort, and that if such a precedent was once established it might lead to the de- struction of the Repubhic. The Democratic members of the Commission generally acted 1ike the bonorable, high-m{nded men they bave been believed to be. Nooe of them eucoursged any desperate expedient. Meanwhile there was 4 consultation of some of the more promigent ?en in the Speaker's room. At that consulta- ion. NOTHING WAS DECIDED TPON, except that the House should agree to pestpone the Joint Convention until Monday, and that o caucus shonld be beld to-night. In’ accordance with this programme, directly the House had . been called to order at 11 o’clock, Mr. Lamar, President of the Democratic Cancus, in obedi- ence to the decision of this conference, present- ed a resolution upon which he immediately de- manded the previous question, to the effect that the Senate should be uosified that the IHouse would be ready to receive it on Monday at 1t O'clock. Some of the Republicans seemed to apprebend that this motion was desigmed for tillibustering, and indieated thefr intention to immediately force a contest. Had they been successful in doing so there would undoubtedly have been ascene in the House which would have forever disgraced American history. The Postponement was really suggested by the moderate Democrats. “They wished to fornish an opportunity for the hot-headed men TO COOL OFF and to call a party caucns In which their Hot- spurs could relieve themselves of their peant-up indignation without publishing their dis- sensions to the world. More than that, one plan of the filibusters was ‘to pre- veat another meeting of the Joint Convention. This plan the Lamar resolution completely de- feated, s it provided in terms which counld not be reconsidered that the House would meet the Senate in Joint Convention on Monday next at 1l o'clock. In that seuse the adoption of the resolution was A POINT GAINED by those who desire peaceably to complete the Presidential count. Lamar, it seems certain, bad no other purpose in his motion than that indicated. It was the plan of the Dem- octats to force this resolution through the House before any notice was received from the Senate that that body had agreed to sustain the Commission. Accordinely the Secretary of the Senate, who bad come to the House with g moticeof that character, was EEPT IN WAITING, standing in the centre aisle for an hour without being recognized by the Speaker, in order tnat the vote on the resolution might be concluded. The oldest parliamentarisns do pot remember that such an act of discourtesy was ever before comuitted by one Housc towards another. The Democrats, of course, carried their point by a very large majority, but there were a few who voted with the Republicans against postponing the time of the meeting of the Juint Convertion until Monday. These were Potter. Savage, Southard, Tarbox, Welling, Erastus Wells, Whitehouse, Goodwin, and Haymond. The time from the adjournment until haif ‘past 7 in the evening was occupied by A GREAT MANY CONFERENCES of the Representatives from the different sec- tious. Alout twenty of the Southern men as- sembled at Willard’s. They, with the excep- tion, perhaps, of Money, of Misaissippl, agreed to stand by the Commissfon. There were a good many of this conference who thonght that the President wounld rccognize Packard be- fore Monasy, and that this compica- tion might do very much to embitter partisanship here, and to ‘prevent the success of the efforts of those Democrats who are determined that the Presidental count shall be peaceably completed. Messengers were sent to prominent Republieans nnd to the Pres- ident to ascertain whether this report 2sto Packard was true. The answer came semi-of- ficlally that v IT WAS USTRUE, and that the President hasno latention of dis- turbing the status quo in Louisiana, at lesst un- til after the Joint Convention shall have con~ cluded the Presidential count and the new President be declared elected. This course s strongly recommended by Prom- neat Republican Senators and some of the Cabinet officers, who do not wish to have the difficultics of the situstion increased by asother embarrassment of that sort. A noticeable feature ofjthe current of the day was the unanimity of indignation expressed by the Democrats towards Judze Davis. the circamstances Davis can consider it a com- pliment that he received the epithets to-day beaped upon .
