DEFEAT OF THE COMPROMISE.
SO uthern Democratic GrafuIatiOn at
Republican Financial DiseOmhture.

Washington (June 1D Correspondence of the
New York Herald.
The Southern Democratic Senators agree
that the Senate Finance Committee IS in
an unenviable position, having been defeat
ed on all sides. Overslaughed by the Sen
ate, their plans have been repudiated by the
House and the President. More particu-
Iariy has the line of policy advocated
this and last year by Mr.. Sherman, chair
man OF the committee, utterly failed and
been even repudiated by the country. The
Republican party, at the close of the war,
promised the country specie payments, and
thus far has not taken single step in that
direction. The responsibility for the pre-
sent distressed condition of the country and
for the depreciation of the currency must
rest upon that party for failing TO comply
with the self-imposed obligations of their
conventions.
