Mr.. Samuel Lord, jr, of Charleston, in
acard to the Ne,cs and Courier, claims
that sKimpton's testimony on the bond
question was fully admitted before the
Bond Court in writing, and says that il
the INTELL1aENcER and its allies intend
disregarding the decision Of the Supreme
Court, they must look up. some other
ground upon which to do>so. Mr.. Lord
has got things little mixed We presume,
as the INTELLIeENcER has never given
expression to anything which warrants
the assertion that it intends to disregard
the decision of the Supreme Court, but it
has always admitted that such decision
would be binding unless reversed by
higher authority. So far as the state
ment that Kimpton's testimony was ad-
nitted before the Bond Court is con-
cerred it is no doubt fact, but his oral
testimony is not what we needed so much
as the documentary evidence to be COL
lected from his books. That is the point
where the State lost by not having him
present, and that is one Of the grounds
upon which we think the question should
have been taken out of the hands of the
Court. If we had Kimpton's books in
evidence they would show and explain
the whole of the bond transactions, and
the bondholders have obtained an i'm
.mense advantage in his absence from the
witness stand. Mr.. Lord is one of the
attorneys for the disputed bonds, and
hence his opinion as to the States case is
10 be taken with much allowance, as he
looks as the matter with that bias which
counsel always have for their own side
of htigated question.

lHE FEDERAL ELECIlON LAWS.
Reporter the repeal of these
sections relating to supervisors and dep
uty marshals, as proposed by the late
House of Representatives, interfere with
punishment of frauds committed at elec-
tions?
Senator Bayard-No. The proposed
repeal would simply remove federal gu
pervisors and United States Marshals
from control of the conduct of elections
in the States, but would not e1oncrate
any dishonest voter or official from the
consequence of his offence, as nov defined
by law.
Reporter you think that the
President will refuse his approval of
these reforms?
Senator Bayard--I cannot believe that
he would feel warranted in such action.
There can be no conceivable constitution
al scruple alleged for refusing his assent
thereto, and there is abundant and plain
constitutional reason why he should join
in giving effect to measures which both
houses Of Congress, truly and confessedly
representing the majority of the Ameri-
can people, have deliberately presented
to him as essential to the peace and well
fare of the whole country. There would
certainly be very heavy responsibility
upon him and his conscience, involving
consequences which I do not care to con-
template should he set his individual
opinion and party inclinations against the

eagle, with his talons upon the crescent

sides of the pyramid the most important
events of the war are depicted in bas-
