that Of AIR. Tayler's was discussed
Finally ii was decided to feel their way
in the matter. and TO shape it as the ext

Jones was, by common consent. made
the spokesman for the delegation. He
was first TO find out just what TO expect
of the Republicans. and to see that every
step was cautiously taken. At II o'clock
the delegation adjourned after its in
formal meeting, and repaired to the COR
ridor close to the door of the room of
the committee upon whose decision so
much depended. where they awaited the
pleasure of that committed

Interest OF Senator's.

Senators Daniel and Martin have not
believed that the TaTler resolution would
he successful While the fight was out

All Democrats Grntined.

The Virginia members, in fact all De-
mocra is. expressed pleasure at the result
of the committees deliberation. 1t had
been believed, as indicated in the dis
patches last night that the resolution
would ultimately be defeated, and there
was little alarm at the prospect OF the
Wise fight becoming successful. General
qualification naturally follows that the
matter is ended for tho present.
Mr.. Taylers strong intimation that the
matter will be taken up in the next Con-
Sress betolhens a fight over the same
question in that Congress. 1t will give
the Virginia members time to prepare for

indicated that they will support sn1i-
lar resolution IN the next Congress, and
have put their Democratic friends on
notice that the matter is merely lad
to sleep for d year. Wise's efforts, eS-
cent in the Supreme Court. are at an
end, and the deliverer of the negro race
will have to hunt some other means
of delivery not now apparent IN the
minds of thinking men.

eighth Congress. i'll which all of the Vir-
Slnla members will have interests at

public need demanding it, and no public
justice calling for it.
The entire Virginia delegation was
much wrought up over the case yester-
day, as was the entire southern contin-
gent in Congress. They discussed il
with considerable feeling and seemed
to hardly know what to expect but it
was evident that they did not expect the
happy ending Of the incident that came
