VERY BRAZEN.
CERTAIN DEMOCRATIC FALsEuooDs CIRCULATED
FOR ELECTION PURPOSES.
WAsn1NGToN, D. c., Aug. 5.-The Commit
tee on Expenditures in the Department Of JUS
tice made majority and minority reports to-day.
The majority report recommends the regulation
Of the Judiciary fund to So,50o,0 Goo; finds that
Davenport, Supervisor Of Elections in New
York, has not accounted for 1900 given him
from the Ku-Nux fund, and that the President
and two Attorney Generals {Akcrman and
Williams) who supplied Davenport with the
S34 900 diverted it from the proper purpose
to one entirely foreign to the objects Of
the law. It IS recommended, therefore, that
Supervisors Of Elections be abolished, and that
the Election laws of Congress be repealed, or,
if not repealed, that strict accounting shall be
made Of the Ku-Klux fund, no part Of it to be
used in the machinery OF elections; that the
Attorney General take the necessary steps to
recover the $35, 600 unaccounted for; and that
no person be allowed to hold more than one Of
fec under the United States Government.
THE MINORITY REPORT
says that the majority report is merely CAM
paign document, defends John I. Davenport,
and claims that, instead of censure, Alderman,
Williams, and Davenport are entitled to COM
mendQtion.

THE RECORD.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 5.-1fr. Thurman
called up the Senate bill to provide for and
regulate the counting OF votes for President
and V1ce-President, and the decision OF ques-
tions arising thereon, which passed the Seaate
on the 24th Of March last, but the vote on its
final passage WAS reconsidered on the 18th OF
April. He said his object WIS to have the bill
passed now without debate, that it might go to
the House and be perfected at this session If
possible.
Mr. Frelinghuysen moved that the vote By
which the bill was ordered to third reading be
reconsidered, and that it be further amended in
the Senate before being sent to the House.
Agreed to.
The matter was then laid aside, with the un-
dcrstanding that it should be taken up after
the amendments should be prepared.
Mr.. Morton moved to take up the resolution
to print 10000 extra copies OF the Presidents
message and the accompanying documents in
reference to the recent trouble at Hamburg,
s. c.
Mr.. Thurman hoped it would not be taken I'D,
because it would give rise to very useless de-
bate There was more important business be-
fore the Senate than printing papers as mere
clectioneering documents.
On motion of Mr.. Edmunds, the regular Or
dcr-the PostRoute bill-was laid on the table,

arrested the murderers and six Of them we're now
sentenced to be hanged. He had no doubt but that
thirty would be hanged before the authorities got
through. Whenever the people OF the South should
take steps to have speedy justice dealt out to

"THE standing army of 100000 Office

A standing army of $4,000 Democrats
fattened for fifty years on the spoils of
office. These soldiers of plunder never
bolted ticket nor neglected to contribute
their full share to every campaign. An
army of 100000 hungry, starving, rebel
Democrats before the tracks of the
slaughtered dead are fully efaced from the
soil fattened with their blood shed in de-
fense Of human rights and free govern
ment, are clamOring, like so many cor
morants, lor the places now filled by the
loyal RepubliCans-not ,clamoring alone,
but spending millions of dollars and
retailing millions OF lies solely to get
into thesc places, to fill which they
have nci!ler moral nor intellectual
fitness. Should they succeed ever
again in getting a majority of the
electoral votes we are made to believe from
the talk OF the rebel press that not man
of all the crew will accept Office except un-
der compulsiOn, or will ever spend a dol

of course, they never did during the whole
