The Amnesty Debate.

Washington Cor. n. Y. Herald
The amnesty debate is substantially
closed. The general opinion this evening
among the Democrats is that they have
been led into a trap and wantonl y sacri-
feed. There is a great deal of grumbling
and dissatisfaction at the turn matters
have taken, and it is noticeable fact
that this dissatisfaction is greatest among
the Southern Democrats. The greatest
number of these are If strong conserva-
tive tendencies.
They deplore Mr.. Hills speach as eX-
tremely injudicious, and it is openly said
that the night before he spoke Southern
members and Senators who knew him
urged him not to speak. Northern mem
bers feel the speech and the whole debate
to be a misfortune, and several declared
that it would lose their party-thousands
of votes.
The Democratic side still lacks discip-
line, and there is a disposition among
some of the leaders to act without full
consultation with the rank and file OF
with each other. In this respect the Re-
publicans have an important advantage
over their opponents. 1t begins also to
be suspected that the Southern Democrats
have, as a body, and excluding a few
such men as Mr.. Hill, more moderation
and conservative feeling than the mass
| of the Northern men on their side. II
was noticeable to-day that almost all the
members who served in the Southern
army were strongly opposed to the dbeate:
and to Mr.. Hills speech.
