Wednesday Morning. :; : February 81, 1916
Orgon.-passage Of The "NotIcs" resolutions.

Office, we are IN possession Of the following
news. contained in letter from their
Washington correspondent, under date Of
oh instant
oTbe vote was taken this evening ra-
ther late upon an amendment offered by
Mr. Linn Boyd, Of KY, the substance Of
which is that the President lg authorised TO
give the notice." and that this vote is
Intended in no wise 10 interfere with any
negotiation which he might see fl 10 en-
ter upon for an amicable adjustment Of the
question. The vote Is a triumphant one
1.-The majority tremendous--yeas 1863, nays
54--more than three to one.'
The Appeal says
The democratic delegation from Ten
nesseo voted for the notice, the wings
against il. John q, Adams and G. J. In
gersoll are said TO have made powerful and
thrilling speeches III favor Of The notice.
Great excitement pervaded all classes and
ranks, many regarding the notice as equi'
valent to declaration Of war, &c. II is
thought that tho Senate--with Mr.. Cal
houn among the number--will sanction
the vote OF the House."
We hope the surmise as to Mr.. Calhoun
may prove couect--but all other accounts
represent him as farcely opposed to giving
the notice. We believe, however, that
the resolution, modified as above, will pass
the Senate without his assistance, or that
of the two OF three others who are suppos-
cd to coincide with him.
Since tile above was in type, we have
seen tho proceedings pending the passage
Of the resolution, with the yeas and nays,
All the members from this State voted for
the resolution. Mr.. DAVIS made a speech
against the notice on the 9th instant--vot-
cd for It on tho 9th. We had prepared
some remarks on his speech for this paper,
but as he came out Fright side up" we will
only congratulate him on his sober, second
patriotic thought, and omit our EDITORIAL
Mr. Davis's course was not without paral-
lei. Toombs, Of Ga, wing, raised "a
doleiul sound" in favor Of the notce--vot
cd against it. But the parallel is not com
plete, Toombs made very good speecl
Davis very Indifferent one.
We append the resolution as passed
with the yeas and nays.
