CONFISCATION AND EMANCIPATION.
An effort may be made to postpone the vote in the
House tc-morrow on the coufiscstion and emancipa-
ton measures but j; is not believed that the speaker
will entertain such motion, since the hour was
fixed by unanimous consent. II il unsafe TO predict
the probable fate of the bills reported by the Com
miitee.
On all hands it is conceded that the majority either
way will be small. The vote of few quasi Repub-
lcans, such MS Diven Of New-ierk, and Dunn Of In
diana, viii probably decide he question. Should
they go for of the pending substitutes which, in
The opinion Of the supporters of the Eliot bill sur
render the principle of Conscation, and will prove
practically useless
1t may secure majority for whatever substitute
they may unite upon. The fate of the Emancipa-
ton bill is perhaps even more doubtful, for while
some Border State men and Conservatives, who
will vote for Confscation will oppose Emancipation.
Nevertheless, should the former principle carry the
men who desire a reelection.
