Several democrata saw it at Lhe same Lime, and tbe utmost confusion prevailed, Tue republicaus had won a victory and were waiting for the announcement to give vent to their joy. The democrats Were in a state of cousternation, Consultations were held tn every direction, “Men who had nov voted were looked for in vain.

By carrying the fight beyond to-day the filibust- ers accomplished something besides the postpone- ment and possible defeat of the direct-tax bill. ‘To-day was set for the “swamp-land bill,” which, they say, 1s similar in character (o the direct-té bil, and involves an expenditure of about $20,000,000. ‘This bill cannot now, it 1s believed, get another day set for its consideration, They consider this a great victory, MR.

Lost DAYS. ‘The understanding is that the bills having special assignments which have lost their day by the dead-lock will not recover their position. ‘There may be one or two that will get time after the tariff bill 1s djsposed of, but the general pur- pose 1s to let them drop, ‘To-morrow 1s private-bill day, and It 1s not cer- in that there will be a session on Saturday.

THERE I A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION as to where the victory of the day iles. Mr. Reid says that the Mlibusters won and that the confed- erate generals have control of the democratic party, and are riding the Northern members of the party. As towhat chance te bl may have in the future he would not venture to predict. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, on the other hand, says that tue “reciprocity in the caucus was M1 one side;” Uhat 1s that his folks, the Mlibus- ters, yielded that’ the Dill should have hight of way im December, in return for which they got only the postponement of the e ere isn compensation’ for’ this he thinks tn Ue detoat of the “Swamp-labd bill.” ‘The democrats are generally in a good humor, and declare vo expect to pass the tariff ,bill, ‘Transfers of Real Estate. ‘Deeds in fee have been flied as follows: Julia E.
