THE VOTE.


WASHINGTON, April 29.-An analysis
of the final vote on passage of the Chi
nese bill to-day shows that % Demo-
Gratis, 8 Republicans and Independent,
namely Davis, were recorded in the
affirmative, and that the negative vote
of fifteen was made up wholly of Re-
publicans Pairs were announced of
nine Democrats against an equal number
of Republicans, and there was pair be-
tween Cockrell, of Missouri, and Brown,
of Georgia, which was not announced.
Adding these to the recorded votes it APP
pears that thirty-two Democrats, nine
Republicans and one Independent only
favored the passage OF the bill as it
stood after all the amendments were
disposed of, and that twenty-four Re-
publicans and one Democrat were against
it. Malone, who was present, did not
vote, and Hill, of Georgia, though
known to be against it, was not an
nounced to be paired. The positions of
the seven remaining Senators cannot be
as positively stated. Edmunds and
Ingersoll, and perhaps two or three Re-
publicans, voted against the bill on ac-
count of the rejection of Edmunds's
amendment to the l4th and 18th sec
tons; but with these exceptions the
ranks of the friends and enemies of
the restriction of anti Chinese legislation
were pretty fairly defined by the last
vote and accompanying announcement.
1t will be observed that New England
furnished eleven, or only one less than
half of the total negative twenty-five
votes, only one vote from that section
in favor of the bill being cast by Hale, of
Maine. The Senate amendments, al
though very numerous, have not changed
the bill in any essential manner, and
will be, undoubtedly, concurred in by
the House without delay.
