1Ir. Guthrie, Chairman Of the committee on
Resolutions, stated that the several resolu-
tions offered to said committee yesterday, had
been referred to a subcommittee, and there
was reason to believe that they would be
ready to report this aftereoon; and further
more, that there was a fair prospect Of arriv-
ing at harmonious conclusion.
! Mr.. Tilden, Of New York, said that the
Chairman Of the Subcommittee, Governor J.
B. Weller, would probably be ready to re-
pert at four o'clock; that Mr.. ValIandigham
was of the opinion that they would not be
ready at that hour, and that Mr.. Guthrie
hoped to be ready.
EIr. Brown, Of Delaware, said there was no
difference Of opinion among the members OF
the committee. Nothing but disposition,
perhaps, on the part of few to procrastinato,
and there was 10 good reason why they
should not be ready to report this AFTERNOON.
