. ley TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE.l
,-.o,,vcroS. March 2O.-Week after week Mr..
,.,;.s 81 Tennessee backed by other leading Demo-
- inAationists has been struggling to introduce
a,,-renev bill which represents the extreme views
e .ho o,tiresumptionists. His only opportunity IS
~ Nondays. when, after the morning hour, motion
a. srsnend the rules is in order. On two successive
,Io,davs Mr. Morrison flanked this movement OF the
;neatiopists by moving and carrying an ADJOURN
,,ort Immediately after the morning-hour business
u,oo dome. in which he was supported by the almost
,nonmous vote of the Republicans, who since the
los, vote ON the currency have been so much criticised
hv the Western Republican intiationists, and have
hon as anxious as any to avoid making too many
,ocords ON the subject In this he was also sup
,orted by large section OF the Democrats VINO
still CLING to the hope that some compromise might
raao,,;sed ON which their party could be united.
T oct Monday the subject was avoided by genera
.orson+ The Democrats had appointed their final
,ancus and were willing to wait for the vote that
wosto be taken in it on Wednesday night. And
or e This Ind not influenced them, neither party
r,os desirous OF advertising its discussions on
the eve of the New-Hampshre election. To-
dav none of the considerations enumerated stood
in the way. The battle in New-HampShlre had
been fought and lost by the Democrats. Some
Of the extreme infationists, by the way
will not be convinced but that hadSthe Democrats
zone into the canvass on sOftmoney platform they
might have won. The caucus had met and adjourned
without day, leaving the whole veXed question
about where it was before Mr.. Landers OF Indiana
caused it to be called six weeks ago. vote on the
ouestion must be taken some time, because MI Al
kins. Mr.. Holman, Mr.. Landers. and Mr.. Bright
could not be choked off forever, and nothing was to
be gained by further postponement.
a. ,o,,o,,s ,ros divided nj
parties. The uncompromsing hard-money men took
very little part in its deliberations and presented no
hill except TO the Caucus Committee, which became
the tomb of all their productions The second party
included all who were willing 10 compromise on the
the modified Payne bill. The majority of these call
themselves haTd-money men, and will vote against
repeal of the Resumption act of 1875 whenever they
have an opportunity, unless some substitute Tor 1t is
presented but they at the same time willing To
Weld everything else. and 10 accept the merest
shadow for the sake of harmony. minority OF the
supporters of the Payne bill are genuine imitation
lists who compromise as matter OF political poIcy'
7, the cancus last week. those composing this party
numbered 43 Representatives.. The third party,
which poed "A votes by Representatives IN the
Democratic caucus, includes all OF the ultra-lnila-
tionists the men who have introduced so many DIS
in the House this session to make money plenty Oy
setting up more printing presses lhey' 100 say
they are willing 10 compromise but their ultmatum
is the repeal of the Resumption act. This they call
going half way They will agree not to press any of
their schemes OF active imitation provided the hard
money men will be content TO leave the question un-
touched after the proposed repeal is passed.
The introduction of Mr. AtkinS's bill to-day was

affirmative to los in the negative. AS two-tlhrds

The number of Republicans who voted III the
Affirmative was b. and they are classified rs follows
From Indiana A; from Illinois, 2; from Penn
sylvana. 9: from Ohio Iowa, Kansas, Alabama,
and North Carolina l each. Indiana sends to this
Congress only Republican representatives. One OF
these Mr. Carson was sick, but had he been present
he would have voted with his colleagues This
shows the effect Of Mr.. MortOn's teaching. -Four
Liberal Republicans, Messrs. Anderson, Campbell
and Stevens of Illinois, and Mr.. Banning OF ONO
voted with the inGationists. The negative was COM
posed of % Republicans, so Democrats, and y
Liberal Republicans. From this analysis, 1t VIII be
seen that nearly 40 Republicans were absent
or did not vote Every New-York Democrat present
voted against the bill, and they were supported by
the entire Democratic delegations from MasSachu-
SETS Mississippi, Maryland, California New-Jersey,
and Texas. Mr.. Durand, the only Democrat from
Michigan was found in the ranks OF the honest cur
rency men, as were also about one-half OF the Dem
ocratic delegation from Pennsylvania Mr.. Payne
was the only Democrat from Ohio, and Wlke the
only one from Illinois who voted in the negative.
After this vote was announced an attempt was
made by Mr. Morrison to introduce resolution de-
claring that the Resumption act ought to be re-
pealed, but that some effective measure TO bring
about specie resumption should be passed A similar
resolution had also been prepared by Mr.. Burchard
Of Illinois Just before the close OF the session MI
Payne attempted to have read petition from ONO
Republicans asking for the repeal OF the Resumption
act, but the Republicans were not anxious TO have
II 90 upon the record, and assisted by some Demo-
Gratis who did not seem to understand the move
mcnt they carried the motion to adjourn.
