NIGHT DISPATCHES.
LATEST FROM WASH.
r
Passage of the Matthews Silver
Resolution.
THE CANADIAN FISHERIES.
WASHINGTON, Jan. %.

WASHINGTON, Jan.2 70.
Forty three Senators voted for Mat.
thews' resolution, and twenty-five
against it. Four pairs were announced,
and it is known that Ingalls,, who was
absent without a pair, would have
voted with the majority. Kellogg
would have probably voted against the
resolution, and for the purposes of this
calculation, will be placed among those
certain to vote against the Silver bill.
The only Senator absent without a pair
was Sharon. Assuming that Sharon
will be absent when the final vote is
taken on the Silver bill, and making
additions to to-day's totals, which are
above indicated, it would seem certain
that no more than u votes will be cast
against the Silver bill, and that at least
48 Senators will be recorded in its ia
vor. This number lacks only two
votes of being a two thirds majority,
and in case Sharon should arrive, aud
Paddock and Kellogg, WHO are con
sidered doubtful, should also vote
for the Silver bill, there would
be one more than a twO-thirds
m~ajority for the bill. But even il the
measure fails to receive a two thirds
vote it will come so extremely near TO
that proportion that the Presidents
exercise of his veto power in regard to
it is very generally considered uncer-
tain. The only Western Senators who
voted or were paired against the silver
proposition were Sargent, Mitchell,
Window, Paddock and C~hristiancy.
and the only Southern Senators OPP
posed to it were Lamar, Hill and But
Ter. Booth, Jones and Grover voted
with the majority in favor of Mat
thewS' resolution, as heretofore FORE
Swallowed in these dispatches.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, is conf
dent that the Bland bill will pass the
Senate, and has made nm estimate
placing the vote at SO in favor 10 %
against it. He disposes of the Pacific
coast Senators thus: Booth, Jones,
Grover and Mitchell in favor and Sar-
gent against.
The dissatisfaction felt with the re-
port OF the Canadian Fisheries Com.
mission is so great and general here
that Congress will not confirm il
whenever The President reports it.

The "Tribune" Or the San Fran

New YORK, Jan. 26.
The Tribune says the San Francisco
Communists are a persistent kind of
reformers. They want malfeasance in
public Office to be punished by impris-
onment for life, with no possibility for
pardon. They want all bloated land
holders, who have more than a square
mile of land. to be restricted hereafter
to that amount. They wan the Elect
