BILL-THE YORKTOWN CENTEyNIAI-THE
PRESIDENTIAL CONTRsT-PERSOyAL-A TAR
IPF MOVEMENT BY Mr.. BECK-THg Exo-
DUS, &C.
From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Senate to-
day very quietly agreed to the House
amendments to the Bayard deputy-mar-
shals' bill, much to the delight OF the DEM
ocrats, who feared they would furnish a
pretext for campaign speeches on the Re-
public2n side. There are those who be-
lieve that many Republicans were hardly
aware Of what was being done. There are
veto this bill, but do not see how he can
consistently do so, as it is not open to the
objection Of being a part Of general APP
preparation bill. Then it is perfectly fair,
and owes its paternity to Mr. Garfield, the
Administration presidential candidate.
HAPPY SOLUTION OF vExED QUESTION.
The Republicans showed that they meant
to filibuster until ~ o'clock Wednesday in
order to prevent the passage Of the electoral
count resolution. The Democrats, not hav-
ing enough members in the city 10 make n
quorum without them, were powerless, and
hence did the best thing possible under the
circumstances when they voted to postpone
the whole matter until the first Monday in
December. Then all the Democratic men,
bers will be here, and there will be
time enough TO act on the resolution.
This morning heard Mr.. Forney, OF Ala
bama, ask Republican how long his party
meant to filibuster, and lie replied by ask
ing, " How long do you mean to compel us
TO filbuster?" Mr.. Forney said, "Until
the 18th" Both agreed that this harmless
diversion would prevent bad bills from
passing Congress, and would save good
deal TO the Government. The Democrats
tonight say they accomplished a good work
in showing to the country that the Republi-
cans are as much opposed to having fair,
square electoral count as they were in 1876,
when the presidency wss stolen from Mr..
Tilden.
THE YORKTOWN CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
HAVE A MEETING.
Yorktown centennial celebration held a
meeting this morning. and appointed sub
committee consisting OF Senator'S John
ston and Dawes, OF Massachusetts,, and
Representatives Goode and Davis, OF North
Carolina, and Aldrich, Of Rhode Island, to
90 10 Yorktown and examine the ground
for the monument. They also reported q
resolution, which passed, allowing the COM
mittee to sit during recess at such places as
NAV be determined on, and to have clerk
who is to be paid out OF the contingent
fund OF the two houses.
TUE FEELING FOR SEYMOUR AND HENDRICKS.
There is no dimnution in the feeling here
among congressman that Seymour ought TO
be nominated at Cincinnati. Mr. Frank
Richardson, the Washington correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun, who was at
Chicago. and had unusual advantages Tor
ascertaining how the Grant Republicans
feel towards Garfield and Arthur, said TO
me to-day that the true way for the Demo-
Gratis TO win is TO nominate Seymour and
Hendricks. The official at the Capitol from
Utica. TO whom have several times alluded,
showed me a letter this evening from
leading Democrat OF Utica, who has held
prominent official position, in which he
said "The Observer is out tonight trying
to kill Seymour's BOOM" "My interpre-
tation OF Mr.. Seymour's position all along,"
said he, has been that he wouldn't say
Yes TO get the nomination, and wouldn't
say No il it was given 60 him." He also
expressed the opinion that OF all living men
Seymour could most certainly carry New
York.
SENATOR KEENAN, HAS GONE TO SEE Mr..
SEYMOUR.
II is believed here that Mr.. Herman has
certainly gone TO Utica to see Mr.. Seymour,
and obtain from him an authoritative decla'
ration as TO whether he will accept the Gin.
cinnati nomination il it should be rendered
him. The New York Senator saw how
strong the feeling for Seymour already is,
and how rapidly it is spreading. Hence, as
his warm personal and political friend, be
is the proper man 10 acquaint the farmer
statesman OF the condition OF Democratic
public sentiment in regard to him, and to
obtain some authoritative declaration as to
his position.
