NAs1tISG1OH, D. c., Feb. 2.-Wcavor and his
hrpthor deMagogs werc mitch disappointed to.
day that by q Bhnrp parliamentary expctlfent
they were prevented from obtaining a voto upon
tho grccnback resolution. 1t Is difficult, how
over. to see what tho opponcnts Of tho rcso'!i-
ton will gnin l'y this mancuvre unless they OK
poet to forco Warner to wlthdrlw his motion.
As Grrcnbncker hns never dono SO wise q
thing, and Us desnugogy Is tho only stnck In
trndo Of tho party, 1t IA quito possible that this
same resolution may block thc morning hour
of Mondays for weeks to come. Tho
country will lose little by 1t. as the proceedings
of Mnndny, tho legislative wnsh-day. are not
generally Of n character to add anything to tho
dignity Of American Etatesmnnshp or 10 bcueflt
tho country. When tho cnll of States was con-
cludcf, tho Hoitsc, n'ordcr to carry out lis pur
pose Of giving public reception to Parncll to-
