From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. September 1.-THE House
remained IN session only about halt-hour
to-day The determination to press the
INTERCHANGEABLE case has caused the
Democrats 10 put Oh thcir fighting clothes.
and they made up their minds 10 resist 10
the bitter end Boss Reed saw that II was
useless TO try to do ANYTHING until the Re
publicaus could send for most of their alb
sent members. Between now and MONDAY
urgent appeals viii be Addressed 70 the alb
sent Republicans, and they Will all be en-
treated TO return, so That on the dhy
named a quorum OF hepupIcahs can Do
mustered. The probabilities are that tho
House Will adjourn from day 10 day until
the quorum is secured. Some of the lead
ers want to abandon all the remaining con-
tested-election cases until next winter ana
such proposition was made 20 Reed TINS
morning by western friend of ms, but
the tyrant in his peculiar New England
drawl said: THAT would look too much
like surrendering 10 the Democrats
PLOTTING o'FEERALL.
Colonel O'Fcrrall. who is leading the
FIGHT in behalf 1f the Democrats 50 far a.
the Virginia cOntestet-clectlon case is con-
ccrncd, proposes 10 keep up the pollcy Of
stout resistance to the bitter end. Event
ually the consplratOrs Will PROBABLY he
able TO rob Mr. Ncnable Of his seat. IL
mas not be done until next winter, but the
Radicals are very mad, and If they can
muster quorum Of their own they VIII
make short work of the fewrcmalnlng con-
Rehabilitation cases. Malone does not
seem 10 be able TO get in his fine work
AGAINST "the Niger" as he calls Langston,
and the Republicans who are SAID 10 have
promised Malone to hang up the matter
are apparently afraid to act.
AT LoGGrBHEADs OF THE TARIFF.
The Republicans Of the House are not
having plain sailing with the tarih bill
that has been passed bv the Senate. They
are bothered on the sugar question. Inc
Blaine policy has mixed them up coHsid-
erablv. and there is lots Of protesting, es-
pccially among the northwestern hepuD-
lcaus.
no RESISTANCE.
The Democrats in the House will make
no resistance TO the passage of the tarlH
bill. They want il passed, believing the
country will smite the party that has
passed such an unjust sectional measure
As Senator Vance said the other day; Its
virtue is its iniqmty."
Tho river and harbor bill is still tied up.
II has been enrolled. but until the Journal
of tie Houseis approved the. Speaker can
not sion the measure II will be signed IN
the course of few days and then 90 TO
the President.
CAN'T sTTLE IT.
Ross Reed would like to stile the river
and harbor bill, but he cannot find way
To do il. That is the only bill IN which
the South gets any big money. The dc
tator has not allowed any of the public
building bills for the South 70 be passed
this session either.
Chairman Flower, Of tie Congressional
Committee. thinks that if the southern
States 90 their duty at the November cleo
tions there will be nearly fifty Democratic
majority in the next House. He Is CONN
dent OF substantial Democratic gains III
the North and West,
WATCHING VIRGINIA.
Congressman Caruth. of Kentucky, Will
sneak next Monday in General Lee DIS
trict in Virginia. Mr. Caruth is one Of the
best speakers in the House and he Will take
we'll in the Eighth district.
The Democrats generally IN the House
are watching the campaign being made by
Hon. George ID. Wise and are taking much
interest in il. They confidently expect
INN to be elected by large majority.
Alr, Bowden is the only Republican mem
Der of the Virginia delegation at present II
the city. The Republican leaders are try
Inc to have Congress adjourn September
9th or 18th.
