The Tariff Bill.
WAsHINGToN, February 7th.-The prog
pee. for the passage Of the tariff bill is no
brighter than it was yesterday. The men
who are watching the results of each days
work in Congress- in respect TO its bearing on
the main question of final success or failure,
have become somewhat discouraged, and one
of them said to.dsy that he bad lost hope on
Monday. TIE action of the House to-day
on Anderson's motion to substitute
the Senate metal schedule for that
of the Ways and Means Committee,
shows that there is no hope fer the
substitution of the Senate schedule
for that now being considered by the House.
A resolution to hold night sessions from now
until the 4th of March was adopted this
morning /; but though it will expedite busi-
ness, is cannot supply the time needed to
pass the bill. When the debate on the tariff
bill began the Republicans were hopeful and
energetic. The Democrats, on the contrary,
appeared TO be divided. In the ten days that
have passed the Republicans have barely held
their own, while the Democrats have become
more solidly united. The result is that friends
ct the tariff bill are losing hope.
