no reason why the subject should not he
disposed II by the committee this week. 1t
still looks 10 me from all am able to gather
that the majority are certainly for g per
cent j.20 bond for 800, 100000 and 8 per
cent Ito Treasury certificate, or, as Mr..
Sherman says, a Tlelsury note for $780,
100000. The idea seems to be that IL
per cent. bond for The 800, COCOON should
be agreed upon. that If it did no. lloa',
us the Senate 6nlncerS seem to think,
this would necc,silate an extra session.
Very wise tin1ncicrs also say that il the two
houses ultimately fail to agree upon re-
funding bill that this also will compel Mr..
Garfield 10 call Congress again together in
the spring. The Republican senators, it is
understood, have already in caucus deter
mined TO support 81 D 20, bond. and there
are enough Democratic senators OF the same
way OF thinking TO make it almost certain
that the Senate will agree upon b Pc
cent bond. The belief that such will be the
case has already affected the per cents.

THE ELECTORAL-COUNT RESOLUTIONS.
Senator Morgan to-day reported the reso,
utons agreed upon in the Democratic SEN
,torial caucus in regard to the electoral
count. They follow, as you already know
IN the case of Georgia, the same rule adopt
I'd in the case Of Michigan years ago. Care
Is taken that action on this case shall not be
, precedent in future. The rumor soon
spread in Republican circles that there
would be a night session of the Senate, as
he Democrats had determined, 1t was
alleged, to take up the resolution declaring
that the Vice-President has no right to
count the electoral vote, and in connection
with it to pass the Morgan resolutions

any such proceeding. The
