ME. TING OF DEMOCRATIC
CAUCUS COMMITTEE,

The Army Bill to Be Repassed with
the Sixth Section Changed, 80 as
to Present the Sole Question at Is
sue.
WASHINGTON. May 1.-The two com.
m,tees appointed, respective y. by the
House and Senate Democratic caucuscs
to report what course of action should
be adop'ed In view of the Presi iential
vetoes, past and prospective, held a ] int
meeting t lis afternoon Of two and hal
hours duration. In cons. qurnce Of the
absence from Washington OF Senator
Jones. of Florida, his place on the Sen.
ate comm tiee was filled bv Senator
Hampton, and, for similar reasons, RI.
resen'a,ives Bragg aud Gouie we're t.
day appointed by the Chairman of the
n 'us" caucus to fill the places occupied
heretofore by Mrssrs Phelps and Tuck.
cr. The other memters of the two COM
nittees were all present with the excep-
ton OF Senator K-rnan, who was in New
Y rk. Senator Thurman presided. There
was very Iull exchange OF views. All
present agreed on proposition concern
ing the army bill, to be reported to sepa-
rate caurusses Of the two Houses ,o-mor
row. which, il is expected, will be adoI,-
ted by both of them, and thus render q
j'int caucus on the subject unnecessary.
1t was decided that the terms of this
proposition should not be made pubic
in advance Of lis submission to the eau
cuss"s, hut there are sufficient grounds
for stating that it will recommend the
repassage Of the army appropriation bill
with the sixth section changed 80 rs to
apply only to officers of the army and
navy, and not t. United States "civil" Of
ficers, thus obviating the principal OF
J -ction raised by the President against
its approval.
The argument by which this recon-
mendation will be supported is, in brief,
that the President vetoed the bill because
1f its alleged abridgment OF the powers
OF civil off icers; that in reality this was
not the intention and would not he the
effect OF the bill heretofore passed, and
the President, having in the opinion OF
the Democratic party evaded the main
issue, should now he given an oppoituni-
ty to pass upon the bill, which will pre-
sent to- him the sole question at issue
whether or not the army or anv portion
OF 1t should be used to keep peace at the
polls"

Tho Test Oath.

In the Supreme Court to day a decis-
ion Was rendered 10 "Florida" case,
which involved incidentally the legality
of the test oath for jurors. 1t appears
that a judgment OF a jury was appealed
from because the Jadge had failed, or
refused, to ask the members OF the Jury
whether they had served in the Confed
crate Army Jas'ice Field said that the
test oath for jurors, in his opinion, was
unconstitutional. and that the Judge did
right in not asking the question which
formed the basis Of the appeal; and
what Is more, the Court sfirmed the
judgment Of the Lower Court, and sci

Opinions OF the Veto Message.

Its bit justice to say that the veto mes
sage, more than ANYTHING else, may make
a united Democra ic column, which will
say to the President in the spirit Of gen.
erosity, with unmistakeable firmness, as
did Grant at the Wilderness, I'VE will
6ght 1t out on this line II it takes all sum-
mer." II this course be adopted, Gar
fields fling when tie passage of the Al
nv Bill by the Senate was announced
amid applause-"He laughs best VIII"
laughs last"-will have appropriate sig
nifcance.
Ger. Garfield says OF the message: 1T
is longer than it need to have been, but
it covers the four s,al wart points brought
out in the debate in Congress. II is all
the Republicans ask
Tom Young says he has no doubt it
was made as it Is because, when the
President wrote it, he had the fall cleo
ton in his mind, and wanted it to inau-
ence the coming Conventions.
Atkins says there is no room for turn
back.
Speaker Randall is claimed to be weak
kneed, and in favor Of passing resolu.
tion to continue last years appropria-
ton until next winter, adjourn Congress
and 60 home. This evidently reflects the
Tilden view.
Cerro Gordo Williams says it is the
most impudent message any President
ever sent to Congress.
Senator Beck says the message is ar
dacious, partisan, unreasonable and un-
tenablc.
John G. Thompson says the Demo-
crats must not surrender.
Judge Geddes says to retreat now is
ruin.
Gen. Warner believes in taking up the
Free Silver Bill, and when Hayes is
ready to sign the Army Bill as Congress
offers !. let him send for i.

It is calm, cogent, admirable message

been made of the matter, and unanswer-

HIt Is ne. generally understood
that the Nationals and Greenbackers are
separate and distinct organizations.
The Nationals have their headquarters
at Toledo, and the National Committee
at Washington is the headquarters Of the
organization in the United State'.
The Greenbsckers, led by .BRIcK"
PoMERoY, who was repudiated by the
Nationals in Convention at Toledo, las,
year, have their headquartersat Chicago
and number about 5000 in Ohio, while
the vote of,ihe Nationals, in the State

this county are issued by PeMEaor, and
the platform which deshsss fos an,ur-

advocates . Tepudia,ion OF all obliga-
tions with creditors, which is further
than the Nationals go. sa

caused q number of Democrats, who
