IT WILL TAKE & two thirds vote to pass the amnesty bil! under consideration in the House this afternoon. The tactics of the democrats are to put off debate. Mr. Ran- dail, who has charge of the bill, has indl- cated that he will givean hour for debate, and divide the time between each side. Hav" inz called the previous question, it cuts hiva of from either debating the measure himself or allowing anybody else todo so. This ba- ing the case, the republicans will kill the bil, and with it Killed, tt is probable that tue appropriation for the ceateanial wiil also til, AMNESTY —Ata few minutes before two O'clock this afternoon Mr. Blaine endeay- ored to present his amuesty bill as an amendment to the one previously presented by Mr. Randall. The latter declined to ad- mit the ameudment, and cailed the previous question on higown bill. Mr. Blaine aske him if fe proposed to cat off amendments. Mr. Randatl replied that he first desir: | to have the previous question ordered, and then he would give the republican side of the time allowed for debate to discuss the bill, Ah, said Mr. Blaine, the gentleman Well knows that such a conrse will preveat amendments. Weilsaid Mr. Randall with @ good deal of feeling: “I have sat here tor twelve years under the dictation of the gen- Ueman from Maine, and I now propose to assert the rights of the majority. SHAM Economy.—When the President's annual message was read in the House Mr. Randall had an order made to exclude tt | from the printed report of the House pro- ceedings for the reason that it would be in- serted in the report of the Senate proceet- ings. Mr. Randall knew that the practice bas been not to insert the annual message in the printed proceedings of both branches of Congress, aud his motion was a transparent effort to impress the country with the belief | that the strictest economy was to be prac- | teed in every detail. In ‘view of Mr. Ru dall’s conduct in this instance, it is wortiy that the Acrord of yesterday contained thir- | ty-three columus of matter, most of it rule | and fi € work. which is paid for at double | the ordinary rates of composition. inserted on motion of Mr. O'Brien, democrat. of Maryland. matter is made up of speeches deliveved to the negroes of this city | al various limes from numerous curbstones by an eccentric character who styles him- self the champion of the workiogmen of this district. The cost of printing this paper will exceed that of printing the last seven annual messages of the President in the Recerd,, and yet Mr. Randall fered no ob- mn to this extravagance.— Wash.
