penses. The second, u separate
bill, for 100000 for judicial ex-
penses, each item being specified,
containing clause that the money
shall be used rs specified. The ap.
preparation for the salaries of Dep
uty Marshals and Supervisors is
omitted from the bill, and no pro-
vision is made for their payment.
In this way the Dem ocrats expect
to make the election laws inope-
rative.
The third bill will be one making
appropriations for the army. This
will contain a proviso that the
army shall not be used to keep
peace at the polls.
These bills will be considered in
caucus this afternoon. A warm
discussion Is anticipated, as many
Democrats are willing to pass the
Appropriation bills pure and sim
pie, without any restrictions, and
then adjourn. Entire harmony
will not prevail over the report of
the Advisory Committee.
