How They Feel at the Capital.

Washington, Feb. S.-Republicans
are more confident and Democrats more
Respondent than ever, and are attempt
ing now only to complicate matters.
The Democratic leaders were in secret
consultation last night. 1t is authori-
t~atively reported that Tilden has been
freely telegraphing instructions to his
lawyers here for the last t~hirty-six
hours. There is general comment on
the case made by the Democrats before
the commission yesterday, and it is
common talk that Humphreys should
have been ignored altogether by the
Democrats, and their arguments o
fined to the main case.
Members of the commission who
came out of their committee DON
for a brief rest, to-day, say there is a
good prospect of u speedy decision III
the Florida case.
The electoral commissions final deci-
sion of the Florida case, this evening
and the far-reaching grounds on which
it Is based. have fully verified the re-
cent confident predictions Of the Re-
publicans, and seem strongly to justify
t ieir confident expectation of the ulti-
mute declaration of the ie!ection OF
Hayes and Wheeler. Very few Demo
Gratis can be found tonight in Wash
ington who anticipate a contrary re-
suit, but some of the most sanguine
still claim that the election will be
thrown into the House by the rejection
Of one vote from Oregon.
