A Herald Washington special says that
the action of the Supreme Court on the
Enforcement Act caused Q good deal of
excitement among the Republicans, es-
pecially Senators, and the amendment
offered to-day by Morton is intended to
show this feeling. Morton does not ex-
peot the Democratic House to pass his
bill, but he says he means il possible to
get it through the Senate, so ns to have
it discussed in the House. and let the
Democrats 60 on record against it. This
they will readily do, but it is doubtful
| if the amendments to the Enforcement
Act can be made interesting to the pub
lilo. From until this afternoon the
Senate held another absorbing executive
session on the question of the confrma-
ton of Dana. There was manifest dis
position to settle it one way or the other.
A majority OF the Republican Senators

1t ia said that the President has au-
nounced that it seems strange that the
Senate. which was SO prompt to confirm
any one whom he might send in when
the State patronage was being made up
at the commencement OF his present
term should now oppose the most i'm
portant especial nominees he sends in
He has not got over the effect OF this
dsaifection notably in the case of Shep

commissioners of the District of Col
umbia. He has observed this opposition
growing up against him, and in som,
cases particularly, when in selecting
appointees for Federal Offices notably il

delegates of State in which these parties
are to be appointed.

ting cashier Brown says that befor
opening the bank on Saturday. there wa
only about $4,000 on hand which wa
