GENERAL PRESS DIsPATCHl
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Ihe Senate judiciary
Committee devoted some time 10 an informal con-
sideration of the legal question raised in regard to
the nomination of Secretary McCrary to a place on
the bench, namely, whether he can constitutionaly
be confirmed to fill judicial position not yet va
Gated and which Judge Dillon is to continue to
occupy until next September, while he him
self continues to act under the Senates
former confirmation IA Secretary of War
Senators Garland Bayard, Conkling and Carpenter,
the subcommittee to whom this question was re-
Gently referred were not prepared to submit
formal report this morning; but it is understood
that they coincide in holding that the legal Obsta-
Gle is very formidable and probably insurmounta-
BILE. There seems 70 be very little doubt that tho
full committee viii take the view. There were,
however, no manifestations of disapproval of the
nomination political or personal grounds. In the
event of final decision that the President cannot
thus anticipate the vacancy, Secretary McCrary
will be appointed when Judge DillOn's resignation
takes effect and his nomination will be sent TO the
Senate upon Its Teassemblmg. The committee to-
day reached an informal agreement to let the nOml-
nation of D. T. Corbin, of South Carolina, as Chief
Justice of the United States for Utah, 90 with
out action until next December.

TIE COMMITTEE OF DEMOCRATIC SAFELY MEET
CLANDEsTINELY BEHIND THE SCENES WHILE
DEBATE IS II PROGRESS. But CAN AGREE
UPON NOTHING.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSB.I
WASHINGTON, June 16.-The Democrats have
been considering to-day whether it is best to swap
horses in the middle of the stream.
This afternoon while both houses were in session
word was quietly sent around to the members of
the Democratic Committee of Safety TO meet imme-
diately in the room Of the Senate Committee the
Judiciary. There were present al the meeting Sena-
tors Thurman, Herman. Hampton, Salisbury, Vance,
Eaton. Voorhees,, Bailey and Wallace 0ud Repre-
sentatiycs Atkins, Bicknel, Cox. Ewing, Goode,
Phelps, Springer and Reagan. AssOon as the commit
tee had assembled 1t out that the purpose for
which It had so been suddenly called together was
to determine whether it would not be q good plan
for the Democrats in Congress TO evacuate the last
ditch, in which they are now intrenched, and take
q safer position a little further in the rear. The
proposition took the form Of a motion by Senator
Herman TO strike out the restrictive clause Ofthe
second section of the Judicial Appropriation bill
which was at that moment being discussed In the
Sruate.
THIS section provides THAT the sums appropri-
htcf IN this act for the persons and public service
embraced in its provisions in full force for all
payments on the accounts named for the next fiscal
b'"' anu no department OF oIll'tI Oh tIt bONcIu-
mont shall, during said fiscal year, make any con-
tact or incur any liability for the future payment
o. money until an appropriation sufficient 20 meet
uch contract or pay such liability shall have first
| been made by law
senator Herman, who has from the beginning been
individually opposed to placing political riders on
appropriation bills, advocated striking out this
clause ON the ground that If it should be retained
me PRESIDENT would be likely 10 veto the bill, while
was probable that without this restrictive feature
he IIe'ldent would conclude TO sign It, This view,
4 u is understood, was also sustained by Senators
thurman and Wade Hampton.
MI Cox took the opposite view. He said that In
any event he expected to see the supervisors and
marshals on duty ih the next Congressional election
IN New-fork City. The mere fact that there would
be no money to pay for their services would make
4 70 u'H5 renee They would be appointed and would
nav an the On,clal authority and character that
ihe} Hao III the last election whether they should
Il be laid or not. but Mr.. Cox thought the Demo-
tials had tlnkcIed their programme enough al
ieady ana that tney had better stick 10 what they
have left OF il.
Ailei some further expression Of opinion by
.luVISAt members vote was taken on the motion
10 euiAe out the restrictive clause and IL was de-
1edleI IL is understood that only Senators Thur
man herman and Wade Hampton and two Repre-
a'iIes' Af. Atkins and another, voted in the

IpY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUyE.l

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, June 1G.-The House Election Com
mittee practically decided this morning that the
Iowa members are to retain their seats There are,
however to be four separate reports from the com
mittee and the case, when it is presented for argu
ment, will probably be as cOmpcatedas any election
case that has ever been discussed. Mr.. Springer,
chairman Of the committee stands alone in the
opinion that neither the October nor November cleo
ton was valid and that there was no election. He
will present the report containing those views. Mr..
ColeTick is of opinion that the November election
was proper, aud viii write the report
representing that idea. Mr.. Keifer is of opinion
that the October election was proper, and will sub
mt a report which the Republicans will sign. Mr..
PhsteT, Democrat, also believes that the October
election was proper, but arrives at 1t by means of
different reasons Mr. Phister places his decision
TO the validity of the October election Oh tue ground
of State rights. These several reports Will probably
not Toe submitted for argument TO the House at this

Carlyle's Theology.

WHAT he SAYS IN RESPONSE TO AN INQUIRING
CORRESPONDENT.
The Edinburgh Scotsman prints the fol-
lowing letter, furnished by correspond
emit, as OF interest In connection with the
Macrae case:
THE GRANGE, ALREsFoRD, 9th Septem-
Der, 1S4S.-My Dear Madame.-Tbe ques-
ton that perpleXes you is one that no man
can answer. You may console yourself by
rejecting that it is by its nature insolube
to human creatures; that perhaps what
human creatures mainly have to do with
such question is to get itwell put to rest,
suppressed II not answered, that so their
life and its duties may be attended to with
ont impeachment from 1t. Such questions in
this our early existence are many.
.sThere are two things" says the Ger
man philosopher, 'sthat strike me dumb:
the starry armament (paipably infinitely and
the sense of right and wrong in man."
say little upon the origin OF our concep-
tions OF heaven or hell-or an infnitude Of
merited happiness and infnitude OF merit
ed woe-and have much to reflect upon
under an aspect considerably changed.
Consequences, good and evil, blessed and
cursed, it is very clear, do follow from all
our actions here below, and prolong and
propagate and spread themselves into the
infinite, or beyond our calculation OF con-
ceJ,ion; but whether the notion OF reward
and penalty be not, in the whole, rather a
human one transferred to that immense d.
vine fact has been doubtful to many. Add
this consideration, which the best philoso-
ply teaches US, ''that the very consequences"
(not to speak OF the penalties at ally "of evil
actions die away and become abolished long
before eternity ends; that it is only the
consequences Of good actions that are eter-
nal-for these are in harmony with the
laws OF this universe, and add themselves
to it, and cooperate with it forever, while
all that is in disharmony with it must ne
cessarily be without continuance and soon
fall dead-as perhaps you have heard iD the
sound Of a Scottish psalm amid the noun
tains; the true notes alone support one
another, all following the one true rule;
the false notes each following its different
false rule, quickly destroy one another,
and the psalm, which was discor6ant
enough near at hand, Is a perfect melody
when heard from affair.", r.....
On the whole, must account 1t but a
morbid, weak Imagination that shudders
over this wondrous divine universe az a
place of despair to any creature, and con-
trariwise, q most degraded human sense,
sunk down to the region OF the brutal
(however common IL; beg. that In any case
remains blind to the infinite difference there
ever is between right and wrong for a hui
man creature--or Gods law and the DEVILS
law. Yours very truly, T. CARLISLE.
