WASHINGTON, May 3l.-Inquiry among
the Democratic members Of House who
have been engaged III tho fruitless lilibus.
tcring Of Tic lust eight days, discloses tho
fact that while tho party lash has been
smartly applied, there las been consider-
bic luck OF unanimity as to tho policy OF
prolonglng n contest which WIS sure to end
in their discontinue, and which seriously
interferes with tho dispatch OF
important public business. Several
Democrats who have been absent from
the city sounding the sentiments OF their
constituents return with very large teas in
their ears. One Of them said this evening:
"Thc country is not with us in this matter.
The people do not believe in the wasting
Of time to no purpose in iilbustering
against II majority; and even the Demo-
critic papers are not united in approval OF
this partisan, Improbable course. The
minority has rights which should, under
all circumstances, 10 legtimatcly main
tained, but many Democrats question the
propriety Of recent proceedings to assert
these rights"

An Expensive Victory for Cameron.
Special Dispatch to the ln,clligenccr.
WASHINGTON, May 3l.-The nomination
Of Jackson us collector OF the Twenty-third
Pennsylvania district in place Of Sullivan,
removed, was finally confirmed by the
Senate to-day in spite OF Senator N1itchell's
active and earnest opposition. Argument
and protest were alike unavailing to defeat
Cameron's bidding in this matter, and the
result will only serve 10 cmbitter and en-
large the revolt TINT has been inaugur.ted
against him. Sulivan's removal is IL most
ilugrant violation Of the principles OF civil
service reform cnunciated by the
Republican Convention 1t Harrisburg,
and will no doubt be effectively used i'll
the exposure OF the fAlsc and fraudulent
character OF the Cameron platform. Mitchell
and Cameron we're observed in close and
animated conversation. upon the floor OF
the Senate chamber today, but the nature
OF their colloquy was not clearly under
stood. 1t was certainly not in the nature OF
a reconciliation. D..
