WASHINGTON, D. g., March 4. 1881. -.
The veto Of tie Funding bill was treat.
cd by the Democrats of tho House
with coltrmpt.--Thisw was wrong. 1t
should have been voted upon. MIR.
Stephens thinks the veto u great mis-
take for Tic Republicans. and when
nincty-ninc out Of every hundred Of
the myriods of oflicc-seckcrs GO home
howling, disappointed and out Of
pocket, this "burning question" may
become the prctcXt for Republican
split and an. opportunity for Demo-
cratic revival.
The last scenes in the House were
most diSOrderlv. Some Of the mem
bers were drunk and very few dispos-
cd to do any business. The opinion
expressed upon 3l9 us the proper APP
portionment is significant, | think, of
what will be finaIly done. As thore
can be no fuircr or more mathematical
distribution, and as Georgia gains one
member, l do not see how any Of our
gains arc largely on the Southern side
aud entirely just to East and West.
The last row in The House was over

the Capitol. What aggravated the
oH,nse and inccnscd the Ecmocrats

not been the work of Democratic
Se!geant-at-Arms Of the Senate, under
instructions Of Senate committee
composed Of two Democrats and one
Republican, Mcssrs. Bayard, Pcndle-
ton and Anthony. 1t was an ugly
blundcr; but regret to say that it
was not committed by Republicans.

stration, in spiicofthc dreadful weather

mrnt, it is only necessary to say that
when an inchriated man hurrahcd for
