THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BILL.

With stroke Of the pen the New York Herald thus
accounts for the failure Of the baek-rePublcan members
of the House Of Representatives to carry out their rsvolu
tiOnAry purposes:
owe are not surprised this result all The eombfna-
ton of Buchanan and Fillmore the House getting
too strong for the Fremont party and the defeat Of the
Viso from the beginning but matter Of tms another
day two would have brought In sufficient democratic and
abssntess to crush out the whole strength of
the republicans"
We will not attempt go into details for the purpose Of
ment The outside pressure of public opin
ion coming up from all parts of the Union in condemns
ton OF the revolutionary acts of demagogueS and fanacs
strong that the back-repubcan members shrunk
back appalled, at the storm which they themselves had
raised They lacked the GOODNESS and courage which
frequently accompany revolutionary movements and the
anatca portion evidently did the pains of
tyrdom In the issue Of the Herald which contains
the above extract find the following account of the pas
sage of the army-appropriaton BILL furnished by its
Washington correspondent:
"This bill passed by the House. the democrats de-
cning to vote, and the Senate where the provso
was stricken out by vote of twenty five to As
amended returned to the House, and the question
agreeing to the senates amendment The greatest
element prevailed during the CALL and when the result
announced general congatuation prevailed the whole
House. the republicans possible showing the greatest

the evening train
Whie the vote being taken in the House the final
passage of the BILL the left their and
in body to the House. The republicans could If they had
chose, have killed the bill Mesrs. Welsh of Connecticut
Mlward of Pennsylvania Miller of New York, with Speaker
Banks would have defeated IT. but they evidently
ious it should pass"
The Baltimore Sum- after noticing the passage of the BILL
says:
Patrioc and consistent legislation has thus eventually ri
umphed facous and wanton opposition and the routine
of government will usual with uninterrupted
vgor and efficiency The vote stood l0l ayes to 81
the bill succeeding by majority of four learn that the
whole of the Maryland delegation the whole of the South
and all the national of the North, (democrats) voted
for the bill on its final passage"
We give extract below from the National Ltegencer
of yesterday morning upon the subject of the conduct of
the republican party in the House in relation to their
refusal to supplies for the army We have doubt
that the sentiment of condemnation will be universal
throughout the Union:
That the independence of the Senate as ordinate
branch of the national legislature endangered by this
tempt the part of the House of Representatives
its action and that the precedent had it been successful
would have been dangerous one be questioned, we
think by who duly weigh the relations which subsst
between the houses according to the theory of the
uton and the genius of government
the custom of aSng independent of legislation to
the general appropriation bills instead of passing
respective merits must be at all times irregular
and contrary to the principles Of sound legislation the
of such habitude becomes still garng when is used
sort of duress by which to the passage of
