SUBJECT.
irY rr1rGRATE 10 TIE TEIDJNEl
WAsnrv5rlv. Feb. 12.-To-day had been sct
ap3rt bv special order for the consideration Oh the
Chinese question; but when the morning hoar was
past Senator Sargent was induced 10 give way Tor
few moments TO allow vote TO be taken upon
motion TO recommit senator Hove's bIL providing
now quarters for the Congressional library and this
question consumed the entire session. Tie result
which has been with difficulty reached tonight, is
am:ssoltuac, inasmuch as it postpoucs for another
year az least, any practical steps toward tic .-a.
settlement OF a most important matter
During the two days debate, almost the entire
controversy has hinged upon the supposed ae,ca-
sltv of having the Congressional library
situated so rs to he convenient for ref
ersuce 10y Senators and Representatives dug
ing the daily sessions Of Congress nj the
Capitol. This supposed necessity las brought about
the adoption of Senator COnki!ug's motion re-
committing the question, WIKI instructions 10 m
quire !ato the expediency and cost Of reE'Gc.lHg
the present Capitol building so as to provide more
ample accommodation for tue library.
Congress has no use for the library. Complete
law and reference Libraries, which are not a part Of
the Congressional library, already exist at both
ends Of the Capitol. Not one member in ten ever
visits the CoagressioLa library during 4 whole
session Of Congress. Nile-telths OF tic books and
documents contained in it are in the nature Of
general literature, and when drawn from the
library are sent 70 the rooms Of the Congressman
who order them. Besides this, 1t Is part OF the
plan Of Mr.. Spoford, tie Librarian, TO retain 10000
or 10000 volumes Of duplicates. embracing all
books ever used by Senators or Representatives, at
the Capitol, and forming in itself a complete work
ing library in the present rooms The library is of
inestimabe value to he student of almost any sub
iect upon which books have been written, Yet IN IFS
present condition large portion Of its treasures
are inaccessible, and the evil Is rapidly growing

Senator ConkIing's motion was carried by vote
Of 40 to IL. This signifies nothing except that tho
plan proposed by Senator Howe does not command
as much support alone do the half-dOzen plans
taken together which were brought forward by
other Senators.
The final solution of the question is apparently no
nearer at hand than il was two years ago and viii

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Tbc greatest interest
continues to be shown both by the Republicans and
the Democrats, in the anticipated contest III Con-
rcss over the political legislation proposed By the
Democratic caucus.
A few of the Democrats who follow closely the
fortunes Of Senator Thurman. are very earnest and
positive in their declarations that the programme
laid down by the Democratic caucus Oh Monday
evening will be carried out. They are anxious 10
draw the lines sharply between the Democratic and
Republican parties thus early on all questions
affecting the reconstruction legislation passed by
Congress prior 10 1870, believing that in this way
they can sohdify then party ranks and arouse an
enthusiasm which they despair of exciting in any
other wav On the other hand, it must be confessed
that there are numerous influential Democrats in
both branches Of Congress who do not believe in
the wisdom of this policy, who at best will give
only reluctant support
Tho Republicans at the same time are thoroughly
united in opposition to legislation of This kind, es-
pccially upon an appropriation bill, and viii noc
hesitate for an instant TO oppose II even in the face
ofan extra session. With one party thus united
and the other or less divided i'll sentiment III
regard to this proposed legislation it is difficult 70
predict what the outcome Of it will be. Many Of
the most careful and experienced Observers in
Washington have expressed the opinion to-day that
the Democrats will back down from the position as
sumed in the caucus of Monday night and that they
