able TO interfere until determinations
OF pending motions for new trials.
II resolutions of inquiry get In next
Monday, though, they will doubtless
pass.
There Is still very noticeable under
current OF feeling over the possible
necessity of electlng new Speaker,
aud though Mr. Kerr denies that there
Is any likelihood Of his abandoning
the chair half dozen or 80 aspirants
for the succession are quietly, but
none the less actively canvassing their
claims. 1t IL not known that Mr.
kerr's health is any worse than It was
on his return from New York, but the
admitted fact that II is no better, and
that many Of his friends are still i'm
portuning him to resign and 40 TO

tioneering for those who would like to
be Speaker
There is a good prospect OF the ire
pressible negro looming up as an ugly
question before the War Department.
Captain Henry c. Corbip, of the
Twenty-fcuI Infantry, now stationed
In Texas, has been before the Military
Committee and calle. attention to
some knotty questions Ya relation to
the status of the negro In the army.
There are now two regiments of infan.
try and two of cavalry In the service
composed OF negroes, and they are the
only regiments in which colored men
can enlist. Captain Corbin claims that
1t Is a violation of the Civil Rights bill
to make this discrimination, and that
negroes have just rs much right to
complain of being shut out from any
particular regiment they want to enlist
in as from any particular threatre that
they want to visit. Some time ago
this question was brought before the
War Department in peculiar way by
Captain Corbin.
A new idea in reference to the adj
journment of Congress is beginning to |
be troached and is attracting some at
tention though it cannot be said to
have made much Roadway as yet.
The proposition is for Congress to take
a recess, either just before or just after
the two Presidential Conventions, to
sometime in the fall, the committees
with the conduct of the differ
ent Investigations to continue their
work during the recess, being clothed
with full power to compel the atten-
dance of witnesses and punish the re-
,usant for contempt. Mr.. Lamar is
as advocating this sugges-
ton, with the proviso that Congress
early in September to re-
ceive the reports of the committees.
This plan of course contemplates an
which must receive the
sanction of the Senate, and as it is
seemingly mainly devised as an cleo
,ioneering and campaign scheme for
he benefit of the Democrats, it is re-
,arded as idle to think the Republican
Senate will consent.

Chicago Times: An elderly gentle
man with grown family took to wife
ayoung and comely woman, who had
been the handmade of his first wife
Subsequently the victim of an ineXpli-
cable vagary, he left his home. A pro-
tracted search for him resulted in find.
ing skeleton, which was supposed to
be his, and the law, believing him
dead, permitted the distribution of his
estate among his wife and his natural
heirs. The homestead fell to her, and
younger son, loath to leave its roof,
proposed to its mistress, his fathers
widow. For ten years they lived in
undisturbed happiness, but the other
day the old gentleman returned from a
tramp about the world to find his wife
converted into his daughter-in-law.
Happily the grave claimed him before
he could make further mischief, and
the twice-widowed became for the Sec
and time the wife of her husbands
son.
