WASHINGTON, d. c., March 81.
THE FEELING IN REGARD To CONNECTICUT.
There is by no means the degree Of interest
felt here in the Connecticut election that was
felt in that of New Hampshire. The democrats
generally admit that the state will give a sub
stantial republican victory. The Sunday Her
aid, smart democratic journal, says that it
does not expect the state to go democratic
This is doubtless one reason why there is little
excitement and anxiety as to the result; yet, if
the state should chance to 90 the wrong way,
the opposition in congress is prepared to make Il
tremendous ado over it.

PROSPECT OF MANY TARIFF SPEECHES.
There is a marked difference of opinion in re-
gard TO the effect OF the senate tariff bill on the

Inmates the loss to the treasury at about S55,-
100000; but other persons make the figures
very much less. There is quite large
number of members in the house who would like

troyersy, and allow congress to adjourn; but
the majority will insist upon careful cOnsidera-
lion Of the bill soon to come from the ways and
means. 1t is said that not less than twenty
or thirty repres entatives desire to make set
speeches on the tariff, and if this is permitted at
least fortnight will be consumed before the five
minutes debate begins. 1t cannot be expected
that the house will begin to vote on the items in
the bill much before the LIST of May

ton, creates much talk in political circles, and
some anxiety among the more ardent supporters

any public manner. In the senate two or three
republicans are expected either to attend the
convention or write letters to be read in it. ex-
pressing entire sympathy with it.

take up Mr.. Dawes bill giving the armorers at
Springfield their back pay on Tuesday morning
