WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Democrats |
have one more plan to add to the long list
Of struggles to get out of the position occu-
pied by them during the extra session,
though the session of the advisory commit
tees of the House and Senate Democratic
cauc uses held yesterday, the proceedings Of
which were fully set forth in last nights dis
patches, from those Republicans who have
been seen concerning the work of the commit
tee there is no reason to suppose that those
appropriation bills, with restrictions will be
any more accep table to the executive or Re-
publican party, which means the same thing,
than the previous appropriation bills. It is
considered simple evasion of the same
questions which have been already passed
upon, and for that reason
will meet with decided and fatal opposition.
The result of it oil will be as predicted even
by Democrats, that within week or ten
days time there will be such a bolt in the
Democratic ranks that two-thirds vote can
be secuaed by week from Monday to either
pass the appropriation bills under suspen-
sion of the rules or extend the present ap
preparation bills to December. The weather
the last two days has been unusually warm,
thus contributing not q little to the vexed
question of the extra session. Members are
continually running away to the sea shore
or going away any where to escape the heat
| of the town, and the result will be that the
Democrats cannot be held together much
longer.
NOTHING BUT THE SILVER BILL
can make any delay. just what position
will be taken upon that cannot be known
until after the meeting of the Senate finance
committee Tuesday. It is expected during
the week that the bill to repeal the test oath
| for Jurors will be reported, and it is not ex-
pected that there will be much opposition to
that.
JUDGE DILLON.
The Post of this city says "Since il
has been developed beyond dispute that
Judge Dillon has resigned, some interesting
facts are coming out as to the inducements
offered him to vacate the bench. The
principal reason assigned by the Judges
friends for his resignation is that as profess
sor of Columbia college he will get larger
salary and have an easier time. It now turns
out that $7, 500 salary as professor will no
be the only one the Judge will get. He viii
be paid $4,000 annually as con
: sulting attorney for the Uniol
Pacific railroad company, of which
his uncle, Sidney Dillon, is president
While upon the bench, the judge could no
occupy such good thing as this, but hi
duties as professor will not interfere in th'
least with the arrangement and permanenc
of duties involved. It appears, too tha
Secretary McCreary was one of the very frs
, persons advised of the intended resignation
and he got the information from no les
H.
!, fore warned, Mr.. McCreary put in his bid fo
the successorship and had the place pre-
empted before other ambitious lawyers Q
: : the circuit ever suspected that there was t
: J be vacancy. As sdon as the rumor of,hi
resignation was spread, several gentleme
put in applications for the appointme1
through trusted friends, but it was disco,
cred in short order that McC Creary had mad
a good use of his early information.
