fGESERAL PaBSs DIsPArcHl
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-There was a long and ear
nest Cabinet consultations to-day, the principal sub
jeot OF discussion being the condition Of the public
business. At the end of the conversation the Prcs-
dent announced that after due consideration of the
matter. he had arrived at the conclusion It would
be proper TO defer the contemplated visit to tho
South. The conditions of the business which will be
created by the incoming of the new Administration
will be such as to require his presence and that of
the Cabinet in Washington. For these reasons he
will not visit the Southern States in March. as he
had intended to do if the public service would adj
NIT.
Ii is also learned that there was some discussion IN
the Cabinet upon the question OF calling session Of
the next Congress- but there were no intimatons
that such a call would be made though the new
Senate will be called to meet in extraordinary ses-
sion on March a. and proclamation Will be issued
probably tomorrow. Ii seems 10 be believed by all
prominent officers Of the Government here that the
public business before Congress. that is the Appro
priatiOn bills. which must of necessity be passed
can be completed before March T. and thus there will
be 10 reason for a called session of both Houses
There viii be several very important matters for the
consideration Of the Senate.

BREACH BETWEEN TIE RIGHT AND RIGHT
CENTER-A NEW QUARREL BETWEEN LEGIT-
nUsTs AND ORLEANIsrs- REPORT or THE
COMMITTEE OF THIRTY TO TIE ASSEMBLY.
PARIS. Friday. Feb. a, Is73.
The decision of the Committee OF Thirty. by their
vote on Wednesday last, in favor Of creating
second Chamber Of the Assembly, has led 10 a COM
plete rupture between the parties Of the Right and
Right Center.
The quarrel between the Legitmists and Orlean-
lists has broken ont afrcsh with increased bitter
ness. HUHion accuses the Dukes de Broghe AMI
Audiiiret-Pasquier Of making compact with NJ.
Theirs, and betraying the Assembly. their motive
being solely 70 obtain office for themselves aad their
friends.
The Marquis de Franclion has addressed q letter
TO the Due dAuma!e, accusing him Of dividing the
House OF Orleans by seeking 20 set mp e younger
branch. with himself at the head.
Ia the Assembly to-day, the report # the Com
mittee of Thirty WAS presented and read by tine
Due de Brogie, the Committees official reporter
The constitutional project is deliberately decussed
and supported with strong arguments. The Duke
seeks 70 demonstrate the necessity If making tho
Ministers responsible 20 the Assembly Tor their acts,
aud shows that this principle carries with 10 tho
responsibility of the Executive warm culogy *
paid to President Theirs for his exalted patriotism
and llustrious services to the country. Much space
is devoted to the proposal for the creation of
Ond Legislative Chamber. Such body, the report
argues would act a counterpose 10 the dema-
gogic principle of the absolute sovereignty Of NUM-
bers il would be eminently a chamber of resist
ance The reading Of this portion Of the report was
interrupted by loud cries Of disapproyal from the
Left.
The report concludes by urging all parties 70 work
together in the spirit OF Cancellation, and give the
country a sound Constitution.
The Assembly appointed Thursday next for the
consideration OF the report.

DEFEAT OF THE TWO PER CENT CLAIM

DEFEAT OF The lWO PEI CENI CLAIA
STRONG EFFORT MADE TO SAVE T-PR0BA-
BILITY OF ITS REAPPEARANCE.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2l.-The two per cent claim was
defeated in the Senate this afternoon, the third
reading by the close vote of "a Yeas TO % Nays.
This bill was passed in the House by large ma
iory soon after the opening of the present session
In the Senate il was supported by one of the
strongest combinations Of talent, influence and
numbers that could be secured in that body on any
measure. The Administration party was repre-
sented by Messrs. Morton, Pratt, Sherman, and Lo
gan. while Mr. Thurman the leader on the Demo
cratic side Of the Senate and Mr.. Trumbl, in many
respects the most influential of the Liberal Repub
Leans, combined their strength in its favor. The
bin held its place in the Senate against
all other business for more than two days during
this last fortnight of the session. and attempts to
law it upon the table were repeatedly defeated by
decided majorities. The small majority by which
the bill failed to-day insures its revival early in
the next Congress if indeed a motion to reconsider
the vote Of to-day Is not passed before tie close Of
this session.
The final defeat of the bill after a majority had
repeatedly voted TO keep it before the Senate Is
planned by the fact that several Senators had agreed
to assist the Senatorial Syndicate in keeping the
measure before the Senate until vote on It's merits
was reached When it came 10 a vote these men
voted against IT,
