This would THOVOKE A REPLY in opposition to the amendment from somo {rlend of tho subsidy, und perhaps o general do- bato would ensne. Wiien an bour or more had thus been consued, a vote would be tuken on the amendmnent, und it would bu defeated. Immedintely another Senator opposed to the subsidy would Introduce another resolution to bo tatked about and voted down, and sv hour alter hour was fruitlessly consumed. Ono of these amendments, fotroduced by Senator Whyte, ot Muryland, wos to make Baltimore un alternate terminus with New York; yet the Senator very frankly admittea when questioned that, even should this amendment be adopted, ho should vote agalust the subsidy und the biil, THE MOST NOTICEABLE SI'EECIL of the afternoon was by Ben Mill, who repre- sented the cotton andother manufacturersof the Bouth as prosperous, und wanted au outlet for them, Ifaline of steamers botween New Or- leans and Rio could bo obtained by subsidies, which would also have to be given toa line be- tween New York und Rio, why be would cladly vote to subsidize both Nuca, Senator Wudlelgl wits prominent amoug the opponents of the bill, as were Howe, of Wiscon- sln, Beck, of Kontucky, Bailey, of Tennessee, All orders by mail, or elther Telephone, will' reccive prompt atlention, Liboral Discounts mado to the city and country trade GERMAN P Just received, which we offer ‘wholesale and retail at low price, O TEVIN, 110 & 112 MADISON-ST. e e e ) REAL ENTATE.

Another heavy blow admintstered to Mr. Roach was the” adoption of an wmendment offercd by Mr, Kernan, speci(ying that the = payment should be riade acvording to nantical miles, und not according to statute miles. The il very cunningly omitted to designate the kind of miles intended, wid Joft e mutter open to controversy.

WasriNaTON, D, C., Feb. 20.—The Iouse did another partiean act to-dny by seating Fiuley in the seat thut belongs to Bisbee, of Florida, ‘Iie stake in the matter for Finley was some $16,000, which the Democrats will pay ol out of the Contlugent Jund, that belng the salary for \lhe full Congress, wlth mileace and costs, und the taking of certain testimony. Mr, Finley will have some ten days to serve fof this hundsome com- pensation. The law and{facts in the case were clenrly in favor of the Képublican, Bisbee, and 1liere were three Democrnts—Carter Harrlson, Ward of New York, nnd Turney of Pennsyl- vania—who lad the courage Lo vote with the Republicans, and thus obey the convictlon which doubtless was held by a considerable nwinbor of the Democracy, L NESITATING, The fact that the Approprintions Committee made no serlous attempt to tuke up the Legis- lativa Anpropriation bill, has given rise to much sicculation s to the Intention of the Demo- crats, Some think that they arc not certnin of A quorim, and wish to be sure of that before they begin tho long fight upon the political amendments. The uttitude of the Republicans scems to bo thut they will compel the Democracy to assumoe the entire responsibility for therepeal of theac laws to prevent frauds at elections. No Republican shall fn any way alid to accom- plish this, but the Domoerats will have to do it with their own quornm and thelr own votes. This meaus that the Ropubticuns WILL REFUSR TONOTE, and compel the Democrath o Ye In attendance. A recast of the roll to-day shows that the Demnocrats hans & total vole of 153, of whith 147 fs & auorum. Of these Hinton, Walsh, Alex Stevhens, and Ramdal Gibson arc sick, while Alex 8teplicns, Gov. Bwann, of Marylund, and Fleming are too old und fecble to endure the flllbustering contests of an all-night sessfon. Should the Republicans udhero to their determiuation, therefore, the Domocrats wiil find {t very difticult to maintain a quorum from the!r own members.

Ciapp, editor of the National Jte- Jneblicans Mr, Clapo, in bis speech, welcomed Logan back to the city, und thougnt the country wonld especially be gratlfied because e wasa stalwart. The only altuston to Grant was the fact that he had taken charge of the Potomae Army as a carpet-bagger, and had moved South, which circumstances were perhaps o reason to explatn why the South uislikes carpet-bagiers, QEN. LOUAN, on being presented, wade a speech soma balf a0 hour in length, which was recelved with much enthuslasm.
