On the discussion of the Deficiency bill
In the Senate this Afternoon debate arose
over a clause inserted by the Senate com
mittee giving the Attorney General $780,
600 to carry out the Enforcement acts in
the past and future. This the Democrats
claimed was additional 10 the Attorney
Generals estimates in January, aud Mr..
Bayard opposed the grant in aspeech In
which he defined his position on this
kind of legislation, remarkibg that he
was opposed to all attempts to repeal
even bad laws by the sxpedient OF q
threat Ia stop the wheels OF government
unless they were repealed.
He denounced the federal supervisor
laws, a. they are called. a. thoroughly
bad and mischievous and thought they
ought TO be repealed, but only In a regu-
lar manner ami not by lacking q repeal
| ing clause on An Appropriation bill. But
he opposed the extra grant of money
asked for by the Attorney General, on
the ground that the laws had been adj
ministered IN an Illegal manner AMI that
great expense had been incurred In the
use OF deputy narshals in manner not
contemplated or allowed by the law II
self.
There IL = good deal OF excitement In
the Senate on the subject Of the repeal OF

Senators strongly urging that the repea
shall be insisted on even at the hazard OF

that several southern Congre' smen-elec'
will be sent to State prison II the laws

made that If these men are guilty they
ought to go to State prison, and If the,
are innocent they will b. acquitted; o
