day 'he Free Traders seem 10 have lost hope and
courage and a. often one Of them has stood up he
has Dech pOWled down by friends Of the bill. These
are uhc same men who demanded three weeks for
general debate. and whined because they did not get
IL. Nhat thcy would have done with much time,
or half as much, is hard 10 imagine. Even now the
KcpubcanS feel that they have been made the victims
Of misplaced confidence On the Democratic side
has been absolutely leadership. Ex Premier Mills
mas not SHOWN himself In the House since the day on
which he delivered his cabbage head speech, which
was not published in The Record" until to day.
He may have been revising II. Mr.. Carlisle is busy
with his canvass for the senatorshp The only Demo
cratic members Of Ways and Means who have been
constant in their attendance Messrs. McMillin Of
Tennessee. and Flower Of New-York. and they have
not tried, or have found it mpracticablc. 10 inspire
their followers with any courage or enthusiasm.
II was announced this morning by authority that in
the absence Of Mr. Carlisle Mr. springer would close
the debate on the Democratic side Just think Of

Of many people. If that does not
prove utter decentralization, nothing could. The
Republicans. on the other hand. have never been
III better trim. Thus far at least, Chairman Ne
Knley has shown superb qualities leadcr-tho
leader Of a confident. enthusiastic army Of followers.
The speeches of the Republican members Of the "Om-
miitce have been admirable despite the fact a ono
Of them expressed il. that Il wrencho, awfuily
u strike at nothing" Every man of them has dono
thorough, conscientious work. which has completely
vindcaed-lf any such vndication oould bc thought
necessary speaker Reeds appointments. No former
Committee Of Ways and Means since the war. at
least. has had IcrplcNng task ~
the present one that II la, been well performed IN
the main. Republicans in the House generally agree
That the bill Will be amended in respects N tho
Committee Of the Whole is the hope and expectation OF
few Republicans. and such may be the result.
