SECOND DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The contrast
in the feeling at the W hite House yester.
day with that of to-day is truly wonderful
Now all is happiness and mirth, where yes.
terday prevailed indignation and apprehen
sion Of discontinue. Grant had hardly
concluded his duties at the breakfast table
before Senators Thayer, Stewart, Harlan
and Chandler came, though not together
to relate the struggle of the previous
night, and to congratulate him on his
victory over the chairman Of
the Committee on Foreign Relations
The effect of the triumph has been visible
all day in the serene aspect of affairs at the
Executive Mansion, although there is cou.
pied with the prevalent happiness no indi.
cation OF any desire to compromise the
PRESIDENTIAL differences with Senator Sum.
ner on the contrary, in the conversations
to-day between the President and his Wis.
itors, the course of the disaffected Senator
has been severely criticised as having been
an act Of great injustice to the President,
whose anxiety for commission to visit San
Domingo was that their report might settle
oil statements which have been brought to
Congress, springing out of the subject of
its annexation, and thereby afford clear
field for action.
AS the House has not acted upon the
joint resolution, and Congress has adjourn-
ed until the 4th of January, there will not
be time for commissioners to reach the
island and return before the adjournment
of the present Congress. This necessitates
a new movement, which will be carried
into effect, if possible, by the negotiation
of another treaty, which friends of the
measure-judging from the strength svin-
;ced within the last twenty-four hours
imagine will be ratified by the Senate be-
fore the 4th of March next. A consequence
of this determination will be another ire
mendous struggle, and a re0pening, of
the chapter. of inyectiyes and personal
denunciation which have thus early In the
session produced a sensation uneclipsed by
any that has occurred since the close of the
war. The reason for the change in tactics
is because of a lurking fear that in the next
House the opponents of San Domingo will
have strength enough to defeat the passage
of joint resolution for its annexation, and
scatter at least for decade all hope Of its
consummation. Decidedly the most ridic-
ulous aspect of the whole struggle is to hear
ardent Radicals, holding prominent offices
under the Government, declares their con-
yiction that Mr. Sumner can only find con-
genial companionship hereafter among the
Democrats. TREDEaAR.
