TIE wAYERING mICHIGANDER.

Washington Special to the Chicago Times
The Republicans claim, by this Louis
lanai resolution, to have gained Christian
cy and the other Republicans supposed to
have been tainted with independence.
Christiancy is in a funny position since
this last sO-called debate. He strongly con-
dennis all of the illegal acts in Louisiana,
but he approves the President. He is much
troubled in mind about his vote. He was so
careful to explain his every move, that
a spectator in the gallery was heard TO OBJ
serve: "That old man thinks he is the only
one in the Senate In opinion and iudg-
ment, ChriStiancy is much too honest to
act with the partisans Of the Senate; but he
is a timorOus man, and cannot look with
anythin1Sbut dread upon the idea Of falling
out with the President. MOron's lashing
him so severely the other day has made
Christiancy very sore. If he had been al
lowed to amDle along in his truly judicial
way, he would have become, in good
time a conservative of the type represented
by Booth. MOrtOn's brOwbeating him, and
the Administration men gathered about
him, telling him that he will impair his
usefulness to his State very materially, if
he fails out with the Republican party,
have 50 hampered the man that the chances
are that he will be dressed in line with the
Administration men. He will not certain
" be allowed to approve Grant and CEN
sure the acts Of his underlings, who act by
his orders.

JUDGE ENMONs AND THE ENFORCE
MENT ACT.


The comments made by Judge En-
mons a. Memphis, last Thursday, on
the decision holding the Ku-Klux pris-
oners Of Gibson county for trial by the
Federal Circuit Court, will cause much
surprise in legal circles, especially in
view of his charge last Monday to the
grand Jury on the Civil Rights act.
Though we may not fully assent to it,
for reasons given below, we can under
stand the argument by which a con-
spiracy of armed forces surrounding a
Legislature and terrifying it into the
passage of a statute forbidden by the
Federal Constitution, might be regard
ed as punishable by congressional leg
islation. From this the cOrOllary Is le-
climate that "conspiracies which over
awe a State and force 1t to deny
the equal protection of the law IS
punishable by Federal statute
while violence by citizen against clu-
zen is not So" This suggests the sim
pie question, Did the jail delivery IN
Gibson county last August "oVerawe
the STATE and force it to deny the equal
protection Of the law" to the sixteen
negroes? As a matter Of fact, the
State was not overawed, the Governor
fastened to the scene, and the local
authorities arrested all the suspected
parties except those whom the Federal
Marshal refused to deliver up for trial

The Observance Of Good Friday.
The lower part of New York is compare
dull to-day. The number Of people in the
streets this morning was perhaps little
less than on ordinary weekdays, but very
little business was don. Large cOngrega-
lions assembled in the Roman Catholic and
Episcopal Churches, and the lenten ser
vices were of the usual impressive eharac-
ter. Nearly all the courts are closed; also,
the Stock and Gold Exchanges; and among
the brokers the day is as closely observed
IS if it were a legal holiday. The banks
and private banks are obliged to keep open,
but they are doing little business. There
are some counter orders for government
bonds, and something being done in for
eign exchange, all on the basis Of yester-
days prices and Lates. Borrowers Of money
Yesterday made arrangements for loans till
Saturday. The city can scarcely be said to
have worn a holiday appearance, as the
sky and dirty streets prevent its assuming
so cheerful an aspect.

WHAT THE SYNDICATE LOST By
Jay COOKE.

The banking firms comprising the cele-
brated Syndicate, Of which Jay Cooke & &C..
were members, for negotiating United
States loans, last spring put in a claim
against the bankrupls Of S255, 1858, in
gold, in their hands on account Of the Syn
dicate. 1t appeared that the Syndicate
held a sum representing profits arising
from its transactions Of which the shares

gold, and that these two houses were in

The question arose whether the Syndi-
cate could prove for the full amount Of
S255, 493.53, or only the balance left after
deducting the Syndicate profits Of Sl46,-
2T5.15. The Register in bankruptcy deci-
ded in favor Of the latter proposition, and
on exceptions to this report, 1t was taken
into the United States District Court, al
Philadelphia, where, last Tuesday, Judge
CadWalader confirmed his ruling.

A sPECA OF WAR ON THE MEXICAN
Corpus christi Gazett.

Corpus Jhrlsu GaAette.
From our Rio Grande exchanges, as
well as from our correspondents, it appears
that no little excitement exists at present
along the line Of that river. Armed men
in large bands aIe making their appearance
on American soil, and for what purpose Is
thus far mere conjecture. The military az
Ringgold and Brownsville hold themselves
in readiness to operate At a moments no
tice against the intruders, but up to our
latest advices no cause had been given
them for so doing. Inhabitants along the
river feel greatly concerned, and trouble is
anticipated. To us it appears as a desperate
resolve on the part Of the Mexican people to
involve the United States and Mexico in
war, and the sooner they succeed the better
it will be for the peace and quiet Of both
countries. Bad bio d exists and its fiery
heat must be cooled. Outrages perpetrated
upon the Mexicaps by Americans, and
rice rerSd, have so prejudiced the races and
engendered bad feeling that scarcely any
salve will prove healing but a resort to
arms. Even if il does not extend beyond
a second Cortina war, it must come sooner
or later, and let every one be prepared.

pected to join the party. S. F. Barr,

and Cameron for anything he can pick
up loose, from a silver mine to a Mex
lean senorita, perhaps.

CHARLESTON, March 26.-The Legisla-

Chamberlain vetoed the bill to declare the
true intent and meaning Of the funding
act of 1873. The main ground of the veto
is that the bill is not in harmony with the
settlement Of the public debt under the

cordance with his pledges, feels bound to
sustain. The veto was sustained, after a
sharp debate, all the Conservatives but one
