Ihere are oil Senators present. Two-thirds are
necessary TO raity treaty of annexation. Thirty
four are two-thlrds. Therefore, if Is vote against
it, the treaty will be defeated. Nineteen votes
against it leaves one 10 spare
But although this Is more perfect list than any
have seen published, yet have very little conf
dence in il, for the reason that quite a number of
the Senators know no more al present how thew
will vote than you do. The general rule is that de-
mocrats and southerneIs may be supposed to be ia
vorable to the an..exaton-f mean such ia the mi
ma tac,e presumption, unless--as IN several cases
something appears TO the contrary. Nothing is
easier than TO speculate upon the vote OF any and
every Senatorbutit would be perfectly useless for
all practical purposes, until something certain and
definite IS known IN the premises.
Should the logroilng principle be adopted be-
tween the South and West, Texas and Oregon, then
some correct calculation could be made. Some
such agreement, as have heretofore stated may be
anticipated.
Mr.. Calhoun is daily expected in town. 1t is the
general remark here that the character OF the adj
n,nistration, on his arrival, will undergo an entire
change. Ii is said that now its character Is fixed
by the Cabinet irrespective Of the Presldent-but on
the arrival OF Mr. Calhoun, Is said that his master
spirit will rule, shape and mould the whole admin
| lsration.
The multitude of petitions now daily pouring in
from Pennsylvana against all alterations in the
tariff of ~ are strong indications that the Penn
sylvania Senator'S buchanan and Sturgeon,) will
vote against the new proposed tariff, lately intro
duced into the House by the Committee Of Ways
and Means.
| 1t seems to be the general impression here that
Mr. Evans resolution TO adjourn on the 10th May
Is all gamrnon-got up to scare the House, and for
political effect. | think there is no probability Of
| adournlng on the 10Th May, nor very soon there
alter.
| Mr.. Benton has resumed his seat again to-day in
the Senate. SB.
WASHINGTON, March 81, 1914.
The Oregon Notice Reiected-Annerafiom Killed
Great Excitement
| Mr.. Sewer finished his remarks to-day in the
Senate, upon Mr.. Ssmple's Resolution to give the
| Oregon notice. He stated one fact which it is
important to notice, while considering the danger
or safety in extending the geographical boundaries
Of the United States to wit-The only disafiection
this country has ever known has been among the
old States, and near2the centre. There has been
no want of patriotism in the borders, and in the
midst Of sparse settlements.
| After MI Sewer finished his speech, the final
question was taken upon the original resolution Of
Mr.. Semple, to give Great Britain notice of discon-
tinuance of mutual occupation. The result was,
| Ayes, 10; Noes, % SO the Notice rejected.
The following is the vote =
Yeas-Alen, Atchnson, Anterior, Bagby, Benton.
Breese, Buchanan Coquit Fairfield Fulton Hannegsn,
Wright-ls.
Nsys-Archer, Barrow, Bates Bayard. Berren Choste,
Clayton. Criitenden, Dayton, Evans Foster Haywood,
Huger. Huntington flanagan, johnson, McDufhe Man.
gum Merrick, Miller Norsbead Phelps Rves Simmons,
Tsmadge, Upham, White, Woodbrdse-2s.
BY tho it will be that Messrs. MDu&e
Haywood and Huger, Southern democratic Sena-
tors supposed, and believed to be in favor OF the
annexation OF Texas, roted against the frie~d: Of
the Oregon measure =, AS far as that goes 4 kills
both the Oregon and Texas mes For il can
not be EXPECTED that the Oregon friends will now
turn round 6nd vote for the anne Ration. They pM
retdtiate.
There is, however. one salvo-our safety valve.
The negative to-day has been to the giving of the
notice: doubtless the vote upon the other Oregon
Bills, for the occupation and defence Of the Terri
tory, Will be very different IL they should not be-
then good bye to all occupation Of the Oregon, and
annexation Of ItIds.
LATER.-Since writing the above, have seen
and convcrsed with several of the Western men,
beers of Congress. The excitement is very great
They are bitterly cxasperated with the recreant
trinity which, has broken faith with them in
aS5 h' r as They They w saY n ars eny
vote for the annexation of Texas, but some OF
them will carry their revenge so far even TO vote
against the new tariff bill. Several members Of
now even pass the House-Tnuch less the Senate.
/ hope, however, that these views will be recon-
sldered But that the annexation of Texas is kill
ed of for this session may be considered az settled.
The treaty for annexation Is very shortly expected
to come before the Senate, and rhen ii does, 1t UM
be laid on the table.
The passage Of the other Oregon Bills, which
at first thought might prove salro, is regarded by
the western members as OF no account whatever.
In their opinion the Notice" was the grand test
and criterion.
] conclude, therefore, that at this Session there
will be
l. No occupation of Oregon, Uegislatively.)
2. No annexation OF Texas.
g. No alteration of the tariff.
There IL another fact which will operate power
fully against the annexation OF Texas through the
western members--to wit, the abolitionsts
pidy increasing at the west-as perceive by let
tiers 10 members at Washington-and the conse-
TcpTeSentdtVe0
will not eopardize their tenure of office by voting
in favor of a measure of doubtful expediency.
Still. LATER.-There Is no hope, as now I'M
derstand that the vote of the Senate will be DIFF
ferent upon the Oregon Bills, from what il has this
day been upon the resolution giving notice. The
feeling is very deep and violent. South Carolina
is denounced in no measured terms. McDufhe,
and Huger from South Carolina, tand may add
/ O. nd Hau.uood from Nnrfh ca rolina will
