HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, April Is.


The morning hour was dispensed
with, and the Subsidiary Silver Coin
Bill was not taken up. The House then
went into Committee OF the Whole on
the Legislative Appropriation Bill.
MIR. McKinly spoke in opposition to
the proposed repeal of the Federal Elec-
ton Law. He denounced the legisla-
ton as bold and wantOn attempt 10
wipe from the law every protection OF
the ballot box, and to surrender it into
the unbOly hands of hired repeaters and
ballot box suffers at the North, and OF
tissue ballot cheat at the South.
Mr.. McKinly, having read that Black
burn, in the last debate, said that the
Democrats meant to wipe from the
statute book all war measures, Mr..
Blackburn left the chair and denounced
the want of fairness and truth in not pre-
senting from his speech complete ex-
tract.
lie said: The gentleman from Ohio
Mr. Mckinley had told the Commit
tee that he Mr.. Blackburn had said,
speaking for his party, that that party
did not intend to stop until it had
tige of the war measures. That utter
ance was not warranted; that utterance
was not true and the record showed that
he had asked that gentleman 10 read the
whole sentence and he had declined,
saying that he had not the speech there.
He Blackburn had then sent the gem
tleman that speech, with the remainder
of the sentence underscored. He had
also written marginal note,
asking if it was not un-
fair so to garble a SEN
tence, and the gentleman had
taken the speech and pitched it on his
desk and declined to do him justice. The
sentence in full was that ''the Demo-
cratic party would not stop until it had
stricken from the statute book the last
vestige OF the war measures which, like
these election laws, had been born OF
passions incident TO the civil strife,
and looked alone TO the abridgement Of
the liberty OF the citizen Let
the gentleman from Ohio take
that and gnaw upon il 10 his
hearts content Was any man so ignO-
rant as To go To the statute book to find
a constitutional amendment? 1t was
above the statute law. 1t was the or
ganic law. He recognized the binding
force of every amendment to the Con-
stitution. [ApplauSe,l He recognized
their validity as part of the organic law
of the land, and he held that man
was faithless to his duties of citizenship
who refused TO give them full force and
effect. The remarks of the gentleman
n L.
and fairness in attempting to put him
blackburn in an improper and unfair
light before the country.
The discussion was continued at great
length. Without action the committee
rose. Sessions were ordered for Mon
day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day nights next week, for debate only.
Adjourned until tomorrow.

CINCINNATI, April lS.-There II a
strong probability that the present
company operating the Cincinnati
Southern Railway, will be superseded
by new company which has been or
ganized with a capital Of millions to
operate that road. The terms OF the
new lease are considered more satisfac-

only awaits the acceptance OF their bid
by the trustees to complete their organ.

the new company will take possession
