HoUsE.-The senate subsidy amendment
to the postoftice appropriation bill was
cisive vote OF 178 to so. The result OF the
vote was a complete surprise to both Sides
The highest estimate OF the probable re-
suit placed the majority at fifty against
the amendment. It's friends conceded
twenty majority against the subsidy,
and had their predictions been veri-
fed, they would not have aban-
doned the hope OF ultimate sue
cess through the agency of a conference
eight against them in q total vote of 25S,
they can find no ground for hope, and freely
admit that they are beaten beyond all pros
pect OF recovery. An examination of the
roll call shows that the affirmative vote was
composed OF Isl democrats and ~ repub-
Leans, and the negative vote OF "a repub
licans and 6 democrats. The senti-
ment OF the house as expressed in this vote
is SO overwhelmingly against the subsidy
result. The senate will be obliged to re-
cede or the postoffice appropriation bill
will fail. The Republicans who voted to
