The lobby Of Grant Office holders who were
sent from Washington to Springfield to fright
en- the radical members Of our Legislature into
repeal Of the resolution in favor of the one
term principle, ana to smother the report CEN
surng the powers at Washington for their ap-
prova! OF Sheridan's usurpatlcn in the matter
Of putting Chicago under martial law after
the great fire, have succeeded so far that they
have been able to hang up the one term reso.
luton in the senate and have gotten the rsd.
Gals Of the house rediculously confused on the
subject Of the Sheridan usurpstion. A radi-
cal caucus to take the latter question into con.
sideration, after an immense expenditure of
words succeeded in placing the party on three
horses on the question by agreeing upon the
following three legged resolutions
THAT we declare as unlawful and an in.
and OF the United States, the late exercise Of
military power in Chicago"
second, that

stances and the great calamity existing wien
this extraordinary stretch Of military power
was exercised, we cXonerate the federal gov.
ernment and federal military authorities from

was the performance Of a duty imposed upon

dressing the house in this strain;

reasonably probable, should they be able to
convince the people that the reelection OF

honest majority in favor of the democratic
candidate, that such majority would be avail
able. But it is notorious that even four wears

whelmnlng majority of two.thirds or three
fourths can avail to defeat him next fall. Does
any one doubt, that should Grant find the
preliminary elections next fall foreshadow his
defeat, he would hesitate to place the elections
Of every northern city, by virtue of his force

cure him any majority that might be deemed

would the present congress count the vote of

themselves uncommonly tretted and irrated
under the charge of the civil service commits
sion, which was brought to their notice, that
one.fourth of the public revenue is los. in its
collection through the incompetency and dis
