WASHINGTON, March !, 1871
The day opened in tho House with shameful exhi-

hbustera Mr.. Beebe, of New York. finding 1t im-

before could be restored. After that there was
p continuation Of dilatory motions, in which the n
busters showed considerable parliamentar SKILL tho

So far prudent counsels have prevailed tho repub-

FOOLISH REPUBLICANS.
But It ought to be known TO the country that while
the main body Of both parties has acted IN patriotic
and orderly manner the democratic nlibusters have
received important encouragement from some republi.

The President repeated to-day, in conversation with

here who would like to sec Mr.. Hayes defeated They
are mainly Southern carpetbaggers and their Northern
and Western allies and these circulated to-day indus
triously in tho House that tho President had
changed his mind and now intended to stand by
Packard. Foster noted their false reports and they
wero met contradicted authoritatvely, but the
carpstbaggers here are secretly doing oil they to
encourage the hbustcring, hoping that in some way
Hayes may yet DO defeated.
