and, besides retterating his old arguments in
favor ofthe rule ofiDjustice and illegality that.

He admitted there had been frauds conf
mitted by the Republicans in that State, but
he still insists that Kellogg shall stand where
he is, and that his government was the best
tbe State has had since the end of the war.
Frelinghuysep, of New Jersey, also made
q spteech to-day dissenting from Carpenters
position on the question, coutending that
Louisiana had a republican form Of govern.
ment and there was no authority to order
new election there.
Stewart, of Nevada, said no government
placed in power by mere estimates could be
republican in form.
The probabilities are that there will not be
strength enough in the Senate to pass the
bill. The party in power hesitates to give

rreat German statesman proves to be US willy
a theologian as he is diplomatist, and has
astonished tue Jews by his Talmudcal
knowledge. The recent elections in the
Empire having been ordered for Saturday,
the Jews felt that practically their franchise
was cut of, as they could not conscientiously
take part in secular business OF their Sab
bath. Accordingly, rabbi, Bamberger by
name, tclcgraphed to the Prince asking what
was to be done in the emergency. An im-
mediate reply was received, as follows ::
.'Tickets may he inscribed on Friday; be-
sidts, while the Sabbath ends at 4 O'Clock
and fifty minutes, the election does not close
until O'Clock, so that there remain al hour
and ten minutes in which TO vote" The
matter was thus cffeclualy put right, and it
is to be presumed that many Of the con-
scientious Hebrews made the act of voting
the first secular duty to be performed when
the sacred hours Of the Sabbath had ex-
Dired.

than that of mob; and when women tight
with mems weapons they may always expect
to be defeated. The law, Of course, sustained
the dealers, and in three months the place
was worse off than ever. In memory of that
defeat the ladies have now gone to the OPP
posite extreme; they will not use the law
even where they have abundant evidence.
" What others may do or be DOING" said
the president to me, eve know not; but
the Ladies' League will not appeal to the

ground has had the effect expected; no
dealer has made reference TO the riot of two

The Public Debt.

The Treasury officials are congratulating
themselves to-day on the fact that instead of
an incresae in the debt there is an actual de-
crease of more than one and three.quarter
millions. This good fortune is, however, not
likely to stir the Secretary up to the point OF
making some suggestion to Congress on the
finances. The total debt as shown by the
statement of to day is s2,293, ITO, GS9.43.
