the Committee were undivided in the opinion that
his right to do so was very questionable, so ques-
tionable that tho Treasurer would probably be
unwilling to pay out moneys upon his Endorsement
The question of the confirmation of Mr.. Schuyler
was discussed at considerable length The general
feeling that an Office from which Republican was
removed should be refilled by Republican was 30
strong as to leave no doubt that Mr.. Schuyler Will
not be confirmed. At the same time the feellhg OIL

lnr TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUSgl
WASHINGTON, JAN 1s-The Centennial bill will
undoubtedly pass Thursday by a largo majority.
Some doubt has recently been expressed TO the at
tItude OF Southern Representatives toward this
measure but the speech in It's favor by Mr. Wadlell
this afternoon il understood 10 represent the feeling
of n majority of the Southern members toward the
bill The chief feature Of the debate to-day was a
discussion between the two Now-York members.
Mr. Willis and Mr.. Hewitt. The former. in n
fully prepared and well-delivered speech, took
ground against the BILL basug his argument not on
any opposition to tho Centennial Exhibition Itself
for he expressed desire for its success-but on the
supposed dunconsitu,Ionaity Of appropriating money
for such purpose.
Mr. Hewitt, in n spirited reply, not only cited
numerous instances of similar appropriations, but III
a humorous way accused Mr.. Willis, who he said
was sent to Washington by the richest and presuma-
bly the most refined aud intelligent constituency III
the United States, of disappearing his district.
He then as q member of tho board of finance of the
exhibition presented in very forcible manner its
claims and necessities and showed in what way the
investment Congress was asked TO make was likely
to be returned TO the country ono hundred fold IN
the shape of increased industrial knowledge. The
early part of Mr. Hewitts speech, which taken alto
gether was the most forcible yet delivered during
the discussion of the subject. listened to with
marked attention by the entire house, and the late
ness of the hour when he closed alone prevented him
from holding his audience through
