Congressional.

The amendment offered yesterday by
Mr.. New, that the repeal of the bayonet
law shall not abridge or effect the right
and duty Of the Executive to respond to
the calls Of a State Legislature or Cover
nor, was agreed to by q vote OF 80 to 4.
The Republicans did not vote. Low moved
to strike out section 6. Conger suggested
il that were lone his side would pass
immediately, with out debate, q separate
bill, repeating entirely the so-called objec-
tionable section of statutes. McMahon,
speaking for himself, ~repudiated the propo-
sition. Sparks called attention to an ac-
count in the Chicago Inter- Ocean, OF an
interview with President Hayes by Davis,
of Chicago, and it was said that there was
an effort being made to coerce the Presi-
dent into extreme measures. by the ex-
treme members of the Democratic party,
yet Chicago had just given a Democratic
majority of 4,S23 to Carter Harrison. In
place Of putting remedies into the Presi-
dents backbone, all the marrow and stiff
ness had been taken ont of the Republi-
cans. That Democratic history in Chi
cago was the first popular response from a
Republican city, and was startling in its
character. Casswell reminded Sparks that
on the same day Wisconsin gave an in
creased Republican majority of over 5000.
Bragg responded, eliciting loud applause
from the Democrats.

Barton Hill, of the California Theater,
said yesterday to a Times reporter:
cannot understand it; yet Miss Harrison

Francisco, said: l have known Miss Har-
rison for a long time. The fact that she
has left the city amounts to nothing. She
was ordered out Of the hotel by Rogers,
and she was bound to be in Boston OF
Monday. At all events, l shall not believe
that there was anything wrong between heI
and Washington Nathan until l have the
proof before me. ] have always known hel
as . virtuous woman. l believe her to bt
q virtuous woman still.

1t having been announced by a Western

strange story comes to us that the mental
and physical condition of Grant is really
pr~ecarious, and there is every likelihood

Is it possible that the battle of the next
Presidential election is to be, $50 it ye
cripples."
