No interest in egistation Is felt at the Capitol Just now. Congressmen of both parties occupy one-half of the time in discussing the situation at Chicago, and the other half in trying to learn semething of what is going on there, But few private dispatches from the scene of strife have been recelved at the Capitol so far. It was rumored through the corridors about noon to- day that Don Cameron had been de) trom the chairmanship of the national committee, ‘The general impression there is that Grant and the third term managers have suffered teriibly during the past two days. and the defeit of the ex-President 1s almost certain. Blaine’s friends claim that he gains new strength with every defection from the Grant forces. The feeling between the champions of the rival can- didates fs so bitter that grave doubts are ex- pressed by expert politicians of the success of either of them. Mr. Conkling’s hatred of Sher- man ts well known, and the Senator from New York has said within the last month that he W_uld not in any contingency assist Sherman tn New York. Mr. Windom 1s the second cholce of the Grant managers for President. Although the name cf the Senator from Minnesota was originally mentioned to prevent the Blaine men from capturing the delegation from that state, Mr. Windom, it is thought, will be Sapuored earnestly by Conkling and’ Logan it they are compelled to abandon their favorite, The General Deficiency Appropria- ation Bill. The general deficiency appropriation bill was taken up In committee of the whole thls morn- ing, and after half an hour’s squabble Mr. Rea- gan was permitted to make his speech on the subject of inter-state commerce. The speech was carefully prepared, but the members were too much interested in discussing, privatel, the situation in Chicago, to listen to There are 52 pages In the bill, and the total amount recommended to be appropriated is $4,934,550. A fight will oceur over the item for the payment of deficiencies in the judicial de- artment. The bill appropriates, for 1S79, for ees of clerks, U. S. attorneys, €.
