The Military Bill.

The minority report of the judiciary COM
mittce on the veto of the military intcrter-
ference bill, says the report of the majority
reasons upon the false assumption that the
President advocates the use of federal author
ity TO supervise the State elections. 1t in
stances McClcllan's order sending troops into
Maryland to protect union voters in '6l and
shows the inconsistency of the democrats in
Weighing against the use of the troops at sucf,
times, when they nominated and supported
Mcclellan for the Presidency. The claims
of interference at other than war times is a
mere unsupported statement. The report
cites the beneficial effect and peaceful appi-
cation of the election laws in New York im
'6S. 1t says the maj ority report eliminates
in asserting the pernicious dogma of State SUI
premacy, in its most obnoxious form, and in
direct variance with the constitution. The
minority cannot conclude without placing ON
record an emphatic and unqualified protest
against the undgnified and disrespectful tone
prevailing in the majority report. toward the
official communication from the Chief Magis-
trate of the nation.
Cabinet Meeting.

meeting were the appointments to the naval

The army bill having been finally passed
by the Senate without amendment, it will be
sent to the President early tomorrow. There
seems little doubt of its prompt approval.
The judicial expenses bill, it is expected
will also reach the President before to-mor-
row evening. 1t is the general belief it will
be returned 10 the House Monday, vetoed.
