C., Feb. 21.—Whtlo the Re- publlcans have not chaoged the position de- clared by Mr. Hale, that they would use all parllamentary means to defeat the politieal amendments which the Democrats are secking are now Inclined to resist the meansuro in the {irst fnstance only long enough to fix the atien- tion of the whalo country by debate and par- lamentary resistance, und then allow a vole nnd lot the bill goto the Senate. This will re- lieve ‘the Republicans of the responsibility of defeating a good deul of the legisiatfon which ought to pss, and at the same thae will Ieave them where, If the bill comes back from the Senate with the obnuxjous amendments, it can Lo seat to o conference, und kept there, and in the meantime other important leglslation CAN BE COMPLETED, Innocvent will the, Republicaus yicld to the paesage of the Leglslative bill §f it contalns these amendments, The opinion Is strovgthen- ing among House Demacrats that it was an un- wise party move to undertake this matter at the - present session, and in the Sovate there witl by open Democratic opposition to the proposed amendmente, nnd, inone or two cases, from some of the strongest men on the Detnocratie side, The Demoeratic demoralization on the subject hns already become s0) grent that the question I8 :under consideration wmong thosy who are managing the !ouse business as to the point where they oupht to yleld. ‘The declston oh the MHouse “slde will probably be to yield when the matter reaches o conference. ‘I'his I5 8o wenerally expected that it has had o strong Influence in determining Republicans to let the House voto sfter o reasonnlle debate und send the bilf to the Scoate, TILE SUNDRY CIVIL DILL will be reported to full Committee to-morrow. ‘I'te Democerats are preparing to pass (L on Mon- day under n suspenston of ihe rules. Tols, however, will bo a very diicult thing to do, as many membera on each side have amendments to offer, und a number of them arv of great jio- vaortanco to the vonstituents of these members. This proposition slipws a grawing dvsire un the part of the Demnocrats to finish business, and it is moticeable that the proposition to have an ex- tra sesslon is losing strength umong thew, The general opinfon {o the Senate s that the action of its Committce fn striking out the re- orgunization schiemo of thy House will be sua- talned, It is also believed that the roilroud telegraph clause will be retained by the senate.

BAYARD. 1S ESTIMATE OP TIE MOUSL OBSTRUCTIONISTS. Saweelnl Dispaten to $he Tril Wasninaton, D, C, Feb. 21.—The cxtent to which the Democrats are disunfted on the question of furcing the political nmendments upen the Apnropriation bills may bo learned from the following interview with Seaator Bayard, who fought the plan in the Dewocratie caucus, who charucterized it as revolutiounry, aud who, in this fnterviow, speaks of the pure pose of the Nemovratie mafority of (he House inno miller torims. Senutor Bayard thinks that the matter will yet be arranged without much difffeulty, but ho does not wropose to yield a palnt of the position he has taken on the subject. Ho eays: ““The House Democrnts have hwd fulr notfvs that the Benators of the party are onposcd to the proposed legisiation upon um Appropristion Ll and will object toits being consldered theroon, and 1, in the fuce of this notice, they put it o, it {s virtually saying to us that unless wo comply with thelr demands the wheels of the Government shall bo stopped. It sceme tome,” says Mr. Bayurd, “thut this would be A DANGENOUS PUECEDRNT to sct. It would elmoly put fu the hands of the majority of any party in the House power tosuy to s minority in the Scnate, Yousubmit to our demauds or the machinery of the Uoversment sholl etop. 1 for ous,” says Mr. Bayard, Ycannot und witl not leud myself to o policy that approaches o closely to rovolu- tion, While Tam willlug to serve my party, I think my firat duty s to serve my country,” * Refersing to the present attitude of the ma- Jorlty in the Houso not vuly towards the Sen- ate, but towards its party frieuds [n that body, boeald; ** No good can cortainly come of this contost, 1 um as much opposcd as suy oue to tha leglslution sought to be repealed, but there is A PROPRK WAY in which to do It, and u proper time,withaut do- Ing violenco to estabilshed rules and the guod of the party as well as publle policy, ' Tho sen- thnent of the country is,? sald Mr. Bayard, % every duy growing more und nore apprehons sive of these conteats, und wants hnnuuny and good fecling, und I for vuo shall do wy best to ' glve it to It. This may not be policy, but they are my convictions, and I always let “them gov- orn my actions,’ TIHE HOUSFE. A DULL DAY, Snecial Dispatch to The Tridune, Wasmxotoxn, D, C., Feh, 21.—The House made no serfous attempt to-day to preceed with the appropriation bills. The very feeble effort which was made was defeated by the cfforts of the toliseco mon, who wished to have a morning hour Ip order that, after it expired, they could move to go to the Bpeaker's table, They se- cured a morning hour for private bills, but were unable togo to the Bpoaker's table, and the Iarge majority by which they were defcated give the tobacco men to-night much concern. THERE 18 NO CHIANCE for the passage of the tobucco bill, for the Chinese bill with the Sennte amendments, or of any of the measures ou the Spesker's table, un- less the House nagrees togo to the Bpeaker's table. ‘That can only be done ecither by a two-thirds vote on Monday mext or on the Inst six days of the scssion, or by o majority vote after the morning hour, There 1s not likely to be another morning hour liefore Wednesday, and the Indications are that the only chance that any measure on the Speak- or's table huoa for pasengc Is to secure a two- thirds vote. It is very doubtful now whether efther the Chinese bill or the Tabacco bill can command 50 many votes, and this fact has alarmed the friends of both measures.
