the Capitol to-day as to be almost yisi-
lie. A long drawn out sigh of relief e1-
ressed the feelings-feelings not always
'efore expressed in orthodox language-of
early every member of Congress at both
nds of the Capitol.
Members and employees who have been
weltering in the ill-ventilated halls of the
iouse and Senate during the recent torrid
Feather solely on account of the deadlock
yer the Fair appropriation saw signs of
peedy relief, and unless some mishap oc-
urs that cannot now be foreseen, Congress
vill adjourn sine die on Saturday after
Don, or at farthest, in the early days of
ext week. Members generally are pack
ng their gripsacks to flee on Saturday, al
hough both Houses to-day extended the
appropriations to cover August 10.
The Texans who refused to stay in the
aucus yesterday and gave notice that they
Tould filibuster against the substitute Dur
urow bill, which provided for an ap-
ropriation of IS, ZOO, 900 for the Fair, made
distressing failure to-day. A march was
tolen upon them at the outset and they
oere defeated in their plans before their
Wits woke up.
A Surprise to the FiIibusterers.
Almost as soon as prayers were said Mr..
,atchings, who returned to the city last
light, reported rule from the Committee
Rules, prescribing that it would be the
rder to-day to suspend the rules for the
assage of bills, as on the first and third
dondays of each month, which are known
f'suspension days" Here was the point
Ehich tilibustering should have begun,
ut ghe Texan objectors, Kilgore, Bailey
nd Anthony, were busy planning how
leH would obstruct the Durburow bill, and
he I-ule was adopted without dissenting
oice
This rule absolutely put it beyond the
ow}er of any tilibastering to make more
IAN four or five dilatory motions, as bill
n its passage under suspension of the
iles is not subject to obstruction as it
oYIld be if taken up in its regular order.
when it dawned upon the Texans that
if,y were beaten by the rule, Mr.. Bailey
hausted every possible obstructive
.otion, but as a quorum voted every time,
nd as only a half-dozen, all Texans, voted
n him, he could neither pass nor obstruct
motion, could neither get tellers, nor CON-
Ell the calling of the yeas and nays, so that
was soon at the end of his string, and the
esolution to suspend the rules an consider
ne Durburow bill in committee of the
hole, vote to be taken at 1 o'clock to-
borrow, was speedily adopted.
The Texas Prodigy to the Front.
Mr.. Bailey, the infant prodigy Che is only
9 years only from Texas, delivered him
elf of a very well-constructed and sensible
peech, however. He described to those
democrats who opposed the $1,000, 600
steal" but who had agreed to a compro-
1ise upon S. SOC, 900, in good set terms the
-illainous logic that could denounce the
1000, 200 as "steal," a 'raid on the
'reasurv," and with apparently clear con-
cicnces agree to "steal" of 81, 500, 600.
lie had little fault to find with the Demo-
rats who had all along favored the appro-
,riation. He did not condemn the Repub-
leans, but he certainly made those Demo-
rats look down their noses and squirm in
heir chairs, who had talked SO highly and
oily against IS, ,000, 600 steal and had con-
ented so easily and gracefully to s., 500,-
90 steal
These half dozen Texans, of whom Mr.
Glgore and Mr.. Bailey are the most con-
picuous, assuredly had the logic of the
ltuation with them, but they had not much
lse.
This tiresome and disgraceful episode of
he end of the first session OF the Fifty-frst

onging the matter will oecur if the Dur-
urow bill be defeated upon the direct vote
