REPUBLICANS PREPARED TO
PRESS THE SOUTHERN CUES
TON.
WARRINGTON, Dec. 2.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 2.
The republicans have determined to
force the Southern questions forward at
all hazards as party man9uvre, ana
will make their first move in this direc-
ton by demanding new laws to enforce
the constitutional amendments, espec'-
ally that relating 10 the suffrage They
pretend thai the great body of laws fran.
ed and passed by themselves during the
reconstruction period, many of them
odious it the irresponsible power they
confer upon mere partisan agents, are
not sufficient and that other laws are
necessary. The democrats will probably
wait to see what precise new laws the
republicans will propose, and it is pos
sible thata prolonged and important de-
bate may result from the republican
manpavre' 1t is not probable that In
the end the country can be deceived as
to the purpose of the republicans in drag
ging this question forward once more,
but it is possible thar "A large number of
democi ats will agree to any proposition
to make these laws more strii gent. They
reason that this whole class of regula-
tons gives the part in power "A grea and
decisive control over the elections in
many if n in all the States, and that
they can be used by democratic admin
istraticn, whenever The party goes into
power, with even greater effect than they
are now used by the repub leans. II is
well known that when, in 1876, 1t was
supposed that Mr.. ilden would be Presi-
dent, the proposition of the better class
of democrats To repeal the Enforcement
aud Election laws was violently opposed
by democratic politicians, whs observed
that these laws would Re az useful to
them as they had been 10 the republicans
and that they would rot be i'll haste to
repeal them.
MR.. BLAINE's ELECTION INVESTIGATING
RESOLUTION.
The democratic Senators have deter
mined not to oppose Mr.. Blaine's resOlu-
tion for an investigation committee TO in
quire into alleged violations of the feder
al election laws, and Interference with
the rights of voters. They will only ask
TO have II amend, Il so ~ To make the in
quiry general and applicable to all the
States and not TO certain Southern States
alone, and it is understood that Mr..
Blaine will accept this amer dmeut.
There is a good deal offeeling among the
New YORK democrats here about the ar
rests of voters in the city on election day,
which 1t is charged, intimidated great
number of persons legally entitled to
vote. and kept them from the polls, and
was designed 10 produce this effect, aud
an inquiry into this matter will be de-
manded under Mr.. Blaln.'s resolution.

The effect Of this was to territy at least
half Of the audience, and a general rush
vas made for the door. Men cried out
t" there s no danger" but for some time
the panic prevailed and great confusion
resulted. The screaming Of women and
children only added to the scare, while
many rushed out of the thsater and into
the streets. Several ladies tainted, but
many exhibited a commenSable GOODNESS
aud presence Of mind. Mccullough and
his actors endeavored to calm the audi.
ence, bat their words had little or no
effect. Finally the audience became
quieted, but lost no time in leaving the

by dust arising around the footlights.

EMERsox's MISsTRELs This attrac-

alter tonight, tomorrow night and on

says of Emerson's Minstrels:
The end men, Emerson and Morton,
are very fine. Emerson's quaint way Of
telling bis jokes and wittlcisms estab-
fishes him a great fsyorite with the an-
dience at once. The singing of the
quintette was excellent. and displayed
remarkable aud we'll cultivated voices,
especially Mr.. Charles Haywood aud Sig.
Abecco. Mr.. Emerson, in his specislties,
may we'll be called the monarch. His
ease, grace and style we have never be.
fore seen equaled. He drew forth de-
served applause, receiving encore after
encore. We are confident some of the
ladies' who were present last evening will
be shopping to-day for more kid gloves,
as they seemed as much pleased as the
rest with the great Emerson; but for real
.fun-makers, the Big Four capped the
climax. Smith, Wsldron, Merton and
Martin, in their songs, dances aud
sketches, are all original and beyond
comparison with any minstrel grotesque
doings we have ever seen, and giving
fun without vulgsrity, aud in a style that
will draw laughter from the most melan.

WASHINGTON.
ConEreaaionnI ProceedInrs.

WASHINGTON, March l8.-SESATE-
Mr.. Edmunds, from committee on judi
ciary, reported adversely on the house
bill in relation to certain legal disabili-
ties Of women, and moved that it be in
definitely postponed. 1t provides that
any woman who shall have been 8 mem
bsr Of the barot the highest court of any
State OF territory, or District o. Colum-
bia for a period Of three years, may be ad.
mitted to practice in the Supreme Court
Of tbs United States. Mr.. Edmunds said
the ground OF the adverse report OF the
committee WAS that by the law Of the
land, as it bad existed since the organi-
cation Of the government, the Supreme
Court, as we'll as all other United States
Courts, we're authorized to make their
own rules torching the admission of
attorneys; so hat there was no OBJ
stacle in the Law prohibiting the
admission of women to practice
in tie United States Court. 1t depended
entirely upon the discretion of the court.
The committee on judiciary thought this
act would make discrimination in favor
Of women, as it compelled the court to
admit ONE to practice whom it was
not bound to admit.
On motion Of Mr.. Sargent the bill was
placed on the calender with an adverse
report.
Mr.. McCreery inquired of the chair
man Of the Judiciary committee what
progress was making in regard to tie
repeal of the bankrupt law.
Mr.. Edmunds replied that the com
mittee was making progress. and he
hoped there would be a report soon.
Mr.. Window called up the house bill
making appropriations for Notifications
and other works Of defense and for an
