WASHINGTON, Feb. %.
The ~jubilalion of the Republicans
over the decision of the Oregon case is
greatly tempered with apprehensions
of serious trouble which il likely to
result from the subsequent action of
the Democratic caucus. 1t is noted
with alarm that The filibustering ele-
ment of the House manifested in.
creased strength in the caucus to-day.
having gained acceSsions especially

the Georgia delegation went over ex-
cept Hill and Biount. and the extrem
lists displayed vastly nor s~arnestness
and determination than their party OPP
ponents. The q >ocates uf the till
clustering policy argued that ven if

ration by the presiding officer Of the
Senate of Hayes election and be fol

Democratic party should, neverthe-

indicated, saw: 1--WE submit to the de

victims OF "A lawie>s u>urpafion. There
are indications, however, that a sufh
cient number of Democrats will refuse
to he bound by the action of the SHINY
ut ended caucus, and will unite with
the Republicans in preventing til'bus-
terinS under the Disguise of ordering a
recess, etc. 1t seems now to tie concei
ed that forty or fifty Democratic man
bers. aided by the sympathetic rulings
of Speaker Randall, al really effect
an indefinite postponament OF a COM
plets count. but prominent Democrats
in both Houses express confidence
that they can so clearly demonstrate
the inexpediency of such open revolu
tionary proceedings As to dIssuade the
minority from resortiny to them. On
the other hand, there Is a very general
apprehension that il the opposition lie

law.
When this afternoon information
reached the House that the Electoral
Commission had decided upon count
ing the Oregon vote for Hayes and
Wheeler, a motion WAS made and car
ried to take a recess till to morrow

the majority being to hold a caucus
before the announcement of such de-
cision should tie received. Directly
after recess Il notice was read from the
desk of the Clerk inviting the D.mp-
Gratis to remain for the purpose %,

been cleared OF all the other Repre-
sentaiives, Lamar called the meeting
to order, when he said he was requested
