1t appears that there Is capitalization OF two
new parties in the Senate, which stronger
than republican or democratic afinities, and from
which the only thing that can surely be counted
upon is another pr0tracted and exciting debate.
Men whose experience In the revolutionary power
q the veto goes back to Tyler's vetoes OF Clay's
bank bills are OF the opinion that between tue
Presdent and the nnationists Of Congress there is
prospect OF a comp romise this session, but tnat
the impending debates IN both houses viii rather
widen the breach in the republican lines and give
one ANU administration elements majority in the
coming elections for the next Congress. But In this
days desuitory discussion senator Thurman's alu-
aions To the harmonious cooperation between the
President and the houses OF Congress, under tue
rule of the democratic party, as contrasted with
the absence OF anything like harmonious under
standing between the republican President and
the republican Senate OF the present day, resulted
N some unexpected revelations. Mr.. Enmunds
seized the occasion to rejoice over the
1act that the two houses OF Congress
were no longer the serfs OF the Execu-

because the personal relations between Mr. sum-
ner and the President and Secretary OF State had,
unfortunately, reached the suspension Of. personal

pWblican majority had no intention Of humating
