R$WAsnISToN, Dec. Alt is expected that

purpose of considering plans for party
Faction during the present session. There
\ are several matters demanding attention,
and among them, not the least, is the at
titude to be be assumed toward the Blair
Educational bill and the admission OF Ter
ritories as States.
III Some Of the Southern members who IA
vor the Blair bill have hopes OF securing
its passage this winter, upon the Argument
that II the Democrats refuse TO pass il, the
h Republican, will smash the solid South
with 1t d ing the Fiity-frst Congress.
But they have in their way tho fact that
there is a most determined minority op-
/ posed to the bill, and the probability that
II 1t should by any possibility pass, the
President would veto it. The best in
formed Democrats believe that the bill will
get no consideration this winter.
In regard TO the Territorial enabling acts,
Democratic caucus has already approved
the bill OF the Committee on Territories
providing for the admission into Statehood
of Dakota, Washington, Montana and New
Mexico. But the Republicans are opposed
90 the admission OF New Mexico, and insist
upon dividing Dakota. The Democrats are
willing TO admit Dakota us a whole only,
and want New Mexico TO come in with
>the rest. There is chance that COM
promise may be agreed upon by which
New Mexico may be admitted and the
South half Of Dakota admitted as State
and the North half organized Ms a Terri
tory. The Republicans appear willing to
follow this course rs TO Dakota, and in
order TO effect this compromise u caucus
will be necessary.
The House Committee on Rules will
meet tomorrow, and the expectation Is
that II will report the resolution setting
apart the 9th, Sth and llth instant for
the discussion and disposal OF the direct
tax bill. This measure, il is more than
likely, will pass after some opposition, and
then II is thought that the President will
