SPIRIT OF TIE hOnNANo fnkbS.
The but.lligsnesr says Of yesterdays action
Of the House: .....-... .r.
nThe bill will be before the Senate this
morning precisely in the shape in which it stood
at the time of disagreement.
1.-The decision of the House on resumina
this subject would not seem to augur any better
understanding between the two Houses now,
on the point of difficulty, than was exhibited
before, nor indeed as good. The last vote
taken by tho House on the Kansas clause at
the late session declared, by q majority of i've,
that 1t would not tnStSt on that clause ana
1t was inferred therefrom that, had there oeen
time for another vote, the House was prepared
for the equivalent step of reeedtngj gu. the
House yesterday, in Committee OF the mnoie,
negatived by a majority of four a moe1n 10
strike out the Kansas proviso, and the OH was
passed by vote of 90 to IS, with the proylso
Ia it.
"We cannot contemplate without dismay
the consequences which would result from q
second and final failure to provide means for
the support Of the army, and we cannot doubt
that the combined wisdom and patriotism of
the two Houses will arrive at some mode Of
reconciling the differing views which now OBJ
struct the enactment of a law 80 indispensable
to the safety of the country.
"The excited state Of feeling in the legisla-
tive halls now, and the obstinate adherence to
diverse views which mark the present dispute,
remind Us of the fierce and menacing section
al contest of 1920; but the benifcent Missouri
Compromise, with healing on its wings, born
OF the wise heads and patriotic hearts Of that
day, dissipatsd the dark clouds and gave
peace to an agitated country. Shall it not be
so now?
The Union contains an eloquent panegyric
On the Presidents message of yesterday.
