Esae ct Of .hs Amnesty Desase.


The general opinion this evening among the
Democrats is that they have boon led into . trap
and wantonly sacrificed. There is great deal
Of grumbliDg and issatisfAction at the turn
mattors have taken, and 1t il . noticeable fact
that this dissatisfaction IL greatest among the
Southern Democrats. 1t is probable from
what leading Southern men now say
that II the question had been left 10
them for determination they would bave urged
that Mr.. Baine's substitute should be adopted
with = mild protest against the exclusion OF
Davis, or that Mr.. RandAll's bill should not be
brought forward 1t all. They deplore Mr.. Hills
speech as extremely 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 members feel the
speech and the whole debate to be = misfortune,
aud several declared that it would lose their
party thousands OF votes.
Among the Republicans, Of course, there 10 .
good deal OF pleasant Joking. They feel that
they have gained an advantage In the House by
their leaders parliamentary skill that they have
seriously Disconnected their opponents, and that
they have in Mr.. Hills speech first class cam
paign document. When the criticisms Of the in
dependent press were spoken Of to some Re-
publicsns they replied :" The newspapers may
go for JstI. Davis, but the people who lost their
sons are against him, and they have big ma
iority."

whole number of carloads OF berries shipped was
