Washington, Dec 22.-The railroad lobby, especially these interested in the Texas Pacific aid bill, appear very much demorals ized tonight. It is considered by most per sons, except few enthusiastic friends of Col. Scott, that the vote on HOlman's reso- lution, to-day, was test vote on the strength of the Texas Pacific bill. The resolutions declared that no subsidies in money, bonds, or public lands or any pledge of the public credit should be granted by Congress. It was brought up on motion to suspend the rules, in order to pass it, which motion required two-thifds vote. One hundred and forty-nine voted in favor of suspending the rules, which was only one
 less than the number required. Seyenty-fiye voted against the motion. Clayton, Page and Luttrell voted for, and Houghton voted against suspending theruies. Although the resolution was not passed, yet the ayes and nays having been called, each member aP- pears on the rec9rl according to his vote; and this fact, 1t is believed, will prevent many who might desire to vote aiL t1 the Texas Pacific from doing so. Itis claimed that the 7j members who voted against the resolution will all vote for the TcXas-Pacitic bill, but 10 get majority of the House to pass the bill it will require the votes Of about 40 more. IL is rumored this evening that Colonel Scott has agreed to conprom- ise which will be acceptable to the Central Pacific railroad people. IL is understood that Senators Sargent and Hager are opposed to the Texas Pacific bill in any form. San Francisco, Dec. p 2-Stocks were ac- tive to-day at changeable rates.

 Los Angeles, Dec. lS.-A gentleman just arrived says, there are about l,500 people in Panamint, and more are arriving than lcav- ing. At the election, held week ago, for mining Recorder, J. NJ. Murphy was elected. Over 900 votes were cast, but as the voting was done early, late and often, no correct idea of the number of the population can be had from that vote.
