In the United States Circuit Court at
Cincinnati, yesterday, Judges Emmons
and Levitt on the bench, the case OF the
United States against Daniel G. Dustin
and others came up on demurrer, the
defendants setting up the statue Of limi-
tation of 1904, which allows but two
wears for the commencement of the ac-
ton contemplated by the law. The Dis.
trict Attorney answers that the law OF
1904 touching revenue cases, which fixes
the limit at five years, is the statue
under which all the cases fall, and not
under the statue pertaining to crimes in
general. 1t is an interesting question,
inasmuch as the sustaining of the de-
murrers would stop the prosecution IN a
large number Of important revenue cases
now pending in various parts OF the
country.

ALABAM

MONTGOMERY, Ala, November To-
About half the State has been heard
from, including most of the Republican
strongholds. The Democrats have
overcome the majority for Grant OF
1910 and gone beyond it. The balance
of the State will go largely Democratic:
The Democrats have elected three and
probably four Congressman and large
majority of representatives. No election
for Senators. As far as heard from
there was no disturbance atany election
box in the State.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, May 20.
SENATE.

Mr.. Fenton presented several peh-
tons relative to communication between
the Atlantic and Pacific via Nicaragua,
and for the recognition of the Cubans.
A long debate ensued on the order OF
business. At length a resolution look
ing to final adjournment was taken up
and several amendments as TO the time
were offered and voted down.
After long discussion the Senate by
yeas 81, nays 81, fixed July 10Th for
the day Of final adjournment
The consideration of the Fifteenth
Amendment bill was resumed.
Mr.. Stewart gave notice in reference
to sundry objections; he would agree TO
striking out the fifth section, allowing a
candidate deprived of office by violation
of the rights Of colored voters TO re-
cover possession by a writ of M n
damus, and giving United Sa Is
Courts jurisdiction in such cases.
Mr.. Howard suggested the necessity
of an amendment to the 18th section to
define the duty of the military author
ties when called upon to execute the
law. He thought the authority to en-
ploy military was necessary for the dis
pcrsion of mobs or assemblages of men
banded together to prevent colored men
from voting. He desired to know
whether in such a contingency and
where the State authorities refused 30
interfere, the Senator from Ohio Nr.
Thurman would prefer to stand gu i "
ty AMI allow outrage to be commitrd
:ather than employ half dozen bayo-
nets TO dispersc the mob.
Mr.. Thurman said he would have all,
white and colored, vote without hin
drance, but would never authorize the
President to surround the polls with
troops whether a necessity existed q
not As provided by the Twelfth Sec
ton the President was clothed with
more than monnrchial power upon the
suppositon Of a Hypothetical case. ~
Mr.. Williams opposed the bill, pre-
ferring that,or the House.
Mr. Stewart thought the latter hope
lessly defective.
Mr.. Casserly made a long speech
against the bill.
Mr.. Stewart replied, and after a short
executive session the Senate took
recess.
