CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, Jan. 22-The debate
on the Philippine tariff bill was not
continued in the senate, no member
being prepared TO proceed with the
discussion! The bill providing for
the establishment of a department of
commerce was under discussion nearly
two hours. Little progress was made
no objections to the main features OF
the bill there was disposition on the
part of the senate to give it carefuI
consideration and to perfect the de.
tails of the measure.
Some of the old partisan here was
injected into the proceedings of the
house when the item in the urgent
deficiency bill appropriating 100000
for a military post at Manila, which
the democrats have been using as a
text for speeches in opposition to the
Philippine policy of the administra-
ton for the last three days. was
reached. Mr.. Cannon, in charge of
the bill, confessed that the appropria-
ton was subject to the point of order
and it went out In lieu thereof ne
offered an amendment to appropriate
the same sum for the shelter and
protection" of officers and enlisted
men OF the army on duty in the Philip
pines. This the chair held to be
in order and it at once became the
subject of very spirited debate IN
which Mr.. Richardson, the minority
leader, Mr. Williams (Mass.) and Mr.
De Almond (Mo) were pitted against
the chairman of the appropriations
committee. Partisan applause rang
out on each side to cheer on the re-
spective champions and there seemed
to be solid line up on each side of
the political aisle But when the vote
came to be taken Mr.. Cummings
(dem., N. W, voted with the republi-
cans, turning angrily on his political
brethren as he did so, and with
clinched fists in their faces, crying
out that he hoped he might be para
lyzed when he refused to vote to pro-
tect an American soldier. The vote
on the adoption of the amendment was
ayes 1877, nays 100. Before the gen
eral debate closed Mr.. Watson paid a
beautiful tribute to the late President

In the summary given by the different
papers of the political status of the legis'
lature, it is possible that there are a few
errors, but it Is very evident that the
republicans have a decisive majority In
both houses which insures the election of
Gen. Mccullough and Mr.. Stanton for
governor and Acknowledgements, and
also the choice of a republican speaker.
The schism in the republican party
NAV to a certain extent continue for
while, but can only become permanent
with those who Join themselves to the
democratic party; and this we do not
think many of the rank and file will do
and still less of those who are looking
forward to political preferment.
For it is certain, because of national con-
ditions if not otherwise, that it would be
impossible to keep any successful organ
ization of a third party. Intelligent
democrats will not desert their organiza-
ton to assist such, even though to GER
tain extent they were in sympathy with
it, knowing that such faction would only
use them for brief time and then leave
them injured and not assisted by the al
lance. Besides, many democrats, and
among these some of the ablest and most
thoughtful, will assimilate with the
republicans in a wise adjustment of our
temperance legislation, an adjustment
which ought to be accomplished at the
coming session.

In the mean time the citizens of the
State will continue to regulate their affairs

thinks, may be depended on to do this
with sound Judgment, and desire only
for the public good.
