Chairman Quay OF the national repuoli;,
con committees has returned to the city, and
wss in his seat in the Senate to day. He
cows the fight between the republicans and
the democrats is now fully joined on the
tariff and Internal revenue lines, that the
silent vote will be larger than ever before,
and that all his information is to the effect
that the republicans will carry all the North
ern States. A Pennsylvania democrat. to
whom this was repeated, said Mr. Quay was
rich as regards the lines and the silent vote,
but that that vote Was going to be cast by
republicans for the democratic ticket.
Mr.. James Maddox, the popular proprle-
tor of the Warren Green Hotel, in Warren
ton. went from here to Alexandria to day in
resnonse to letters from the owners OF the
Rrsddock House in that city, who want to
sell him that property. Ii the terms are
favorable Mr.. Maddox may possibly accept
than. snd if be shall, he will 30 Conduct the
house that it will at least deserve to regain
all its once large and profitable business.
The House resumed the consideration o.
| the Mills bill this morning, MIR. Springer ob-
tanning permission to make speech on the
wool section, which mad already been voted
upon and decided, upon the ground that ne
was in the chair when that section wac be-
ing debated and could not therefore be
heard. Neither side to day seems to enter
tain doubt that the vote on the bill will be
DELAYED BEYOND Saturday. There are tive
or six democrats who are opposed to the
bill. but as Mr.. Randall, who is still sick
will not be present to head them, they viii
probably not manifest their opposition Wner
the vote shall be taken.
