From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Mr. Anthony, one
OF the twin senators from "Proyidence
Plantations" made lame defence to-day
against the charges OF the 800 soldiers and
sailors who have informed Congress that bis
kin and other civilians usurp custom-house
places, &C.. that Of right belong to them uu.

ny said, it remains on record, signed by
responsible parties, that not only are thou.
sands OF the citizens Of the United States re-
siding in that State deprived OF suffrage, but
that elections are interfered with by Federal
officials, and in many cases are controlled
by moncyed combinations. In word.
all the essentials necessary to a
complete case OF bulldozing and in
tlmIdation are furnished by witnesses
who risked their lives for the Union. And
yet the eminently proper senatorial stall
warts from Rhode Island have been throw
ing up their hands in holy horror over the
alleged shortcomings OF South Carolina
while such state OF things existed in their
own Radical State. The whole matter is
before Senate committee, and the country
will be enlightened in due time.
WHAT MEMBER OF THE JOINT DEMOCRATIC
CAUCUS COMMITTEE SAYS.
encountered one Of the Democratic Joint
caucus committee this morning who is
pledged not to dlYulge any OF the proceed
ines, and said to him, Ii you were the
correspondent OF tirst-class journal, whose
readers required daily information in regard
to the political situation, what would you
say?" lie replied, 81 would say that
Congress will not leave Washington with
out making provision for the army and the
departments" Why, have predicted that
from the beginning. But how as to de-
tails? "Well," said he, ~ would tell them
that the legislative bill will pass with the
section omitted providing for the payment
OF deputy marshals; that the army bill will
also pass with q clause inserted in it that
none OF the money appropriated for the sup
port OF the army shall be used TO pay for the
transportation OF troops to elections" But
suppose he yetoes the latter bill: "Then,"
said he, "the army will be provided for,
notwithstanding the veto. / would state
further" he added, "that the Senate Judi
cMry Committee will on Monday, il
not sooner, report bill repeating
the Jurors test-oath, which will pass
and be approved by the President.
The bill in regard to the deputy marshals
and supervisors will be prepared later" he
said, land will not mcetthe approval Of the
PRESIDENT Here he went into the House
to answer n roll-call, and could not help
wondering how such an elaborate pro-
gramme can be carried out by the 10th OF
June, when Congcr and his followers are
willing to lilibuSter upon the slightest provo
cation. still hear that the Republicans de-
clare they will not permit the introduction
OF any bills, except the appropriation bills,
that they can prevent.
THE REPUBLICANS AGAIN FILIBuSTER AWAY
THE MORNING HOUR.
The morning hour in the House was
again FILTERED away because the Republi-
cans were determined that no vote should
b, taken on Townshend's court bill. Mr..
Springer offered an amendment to the rules
to prevent recurrence OF this: when Mr..
Conger raised point OF order. The Chair
ruled against him, and he appcalcd-Mr.
McMahon moving TO lay the appeal on
tie table. The Republicans refused to
vote, preventing quorum; and there
was more tilibdstcring until . O'clock,
when the House took up District OF
Columbia matters. Garfield is away help
ing to nominate Republican candidate for
Governor OF Ohio, and hence Ccnger is left
to do his worst without being restrained.
| It is true that some OF the more digniticd
Republicans vince under his leadership,
| but they are obliged to follow it. To-day
| lie wore rose OF blush tint, which was
much out OF place in the button-hole OF his
venerable swallow-taiI.
THE SUBSIDIARY CON BILL PASSES.
Tn the Senate, at the expiration of the
morning hour, the subsidiary silver bill was
debated for some time. The Iegal-tender
section was finally amended by reducing
the maximum OF fractional silver to be re-
ceivable rs legal tender TO ten dollars. As
originally reported the sum was twenty
dollars. The fourth section, limiting the
amount Of coin Of twenty-five cents and
under receivable for pos,a9c-stamps to three
dollars, was stricken out, so that the bill
was finally passed in a shape which makes
all small silver coins receivable rs = legal
tender for ten dollars and under.
SENATOR CALL MAKES A SPEECH.
The new senator from Florida, Dir. Call,
made all able, argumcntative, end attractive
speech TO. day on the Mcdonald bill, in which
he discussed the use OF troops in elections
and kindred topics. His manner is good
and his delivery excellent. Although taller,
he looks from the Senate gallery, while
speaking, something like. the late General
Bagwen. He did not seem at all emba.,,
rassea, and it is rarely the case that a senss
tors .frst set speech is so successful.
