PASSING THE LEeIsLAr1vE BILL.
The CIauses Repeating Odious Election Laws
Retained In the Measure.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The Legislative,
Executive. and Judicial Appropriation bill was
passed by the Senate to-day. Mr.. Saunders
made the regulation bloody shirt speech against
the repeal Of the election laws. treating them as
though the question related chiefly to the South
instead OF the Northern States. Mr.. Whyte OF
Maryland spoke in favor OF the right OF the
States to control suffrage and opposed tho pres
ence OF troops at tho polls. Mr.. Whyte's speech
was largely hstorical his argument was
clear and forciblc. Mr. Conkling made very
brief reply to one OF Mr.. Whytes averments.
The longest speech OF the day was delivered by
Mr.. Jonas. tho new Senator from Louisiana
who gave detailed account OF the expressions
i'm Louisiana by troops. and their interference
with elections and state Legislatures. and also
q review, of the recent persecution OF citizens
equipped with facts, and his speech troubled
the Republicans. He was continually inter-
ruptcd. Kellogg took small hand in the dis
cussion. After while the Interruptions began
TO run into speeches. and Mr. Jonas was forced
to insist on his right to the floor, ,-, 4.
Pursuant to agreement. mt o'clock the
amendments. all OF which were presented by
Mr.. Elmunds were voted upon. No was to
strike out all the political amendments from
the bill. This WIS rejected by nearly party
vote. 2G to &c. The effect OF the first amend
ment II agreed to. would have been TO retain
the ironclad oath for Jurors as II now stands on
the statute book. But every Republican Sena-
tor save Mr.. Bruce voted to uphold 1t. The next
amendment proposed to strike out the parts
which repeal the election laws and section S2l.
which allows the Judge to have the discretion
to amply the test oath to jurors. For this every
Republican voted. but the amendment WAS re-
jccted. Both these amendments would have
struck out the provision designed TO prevent
tho packing Of juries. by declaring that tho
clerk Of the court and some citizen Of opposite
politics shall alternately place names In the box
from which the jury In to be drawn. Mr..
Edmunds's third amendment proposed to strik e
out those parts OF the bill repeating the
election laws relating to supervisors, marshals.
and special deputies. which was rejected 10y n
party vote. ANXIOUS yet further to signalze
his Ingenuity Mr.. Edmunds offered n fourth
amendment, TO strike out the clause repeating
section 1922 OF the Revised Statutes. which
Furnishes severely any bystander or good citi-
zen who shall refuse to assist and aid deputy
mnrshals when called upon TO do so. This last
passed by q strict party vote. The bill goes TO
the House for concurrence in the Senate amend
ments These are few. and relate chiefly TO the
fruitless attempt OF the House to cut down the
pay Of the Senate employees.

A Judicial Hearing for Accused Officers,

II municipal officers are to be removed by
the Mayor only for cause, we think the
charges against them should be judically
established, by legal evidence, according to
the rules Of evidence. and that the accused
should be heard by themselves and by coun-
sci in their own defence Accordingly, in
this point OF view, we approve Of the bill
which has been passed by the Legislature
containing these provisions.
Yet we are unable to see whore the Legis-
laturc gets the power to deprive persons ac-
cuscd OF misdcmeanor like neglect OF
official duty or malvcrsatlon in office, Of the
right Of trial by jury.
We think the Mayor ought to have the
power To remove without assigning any
cause. Then removal would reflect no dis
credit on the person removed. Power and
responsibility would bc concentrated in the
hands Of the Mayor, and with man Of
high character and executive ability in the
ofilcc-if such man could ever lee elected
we might have better administration Of
our municipal affairs

The Pnblic Printing.

II is notorious, and has been proven by re-
peated Investigations, that the fraud. steal
ing and extravaganza in the printing at
Washington exceed in proportion To the ag
gregate expenditure those in any other
branch of the public service. For long
rics Of years the cost Of this printing aver
aged two millions Of dollars a year. or the
interest on capital Of fifty millions Of four
per cents. This outlay was wholly indcpcn-
dent Of the immense sums invested in the
ground buildings, machinery, type. and
other appliances necessary for an immense
establishments which now boasts Of being
the largest in the world.
At the last session forty thousand dollars
were voted u extend the printing Office, as
II To give permancncy to the system, which
Is a feproach To Congress. and still worse to
the special promoters Of this glaring prodi-
gality and corruption. A combination of rot
ten Democrats and rotten Republicans was
formed in March, ON the eve Of the adjourn
ment OF the Forty-iifth Congress, to take the
Government Printing Onice and TO do the
work at a reduction Of fifteen per cent. on
the present rates. That scheme failed prop
crly because il was a sham which exposed
itself
Now, it il proposed to pass law for the
election Of Superintendent 81 Printing
the tactical effect Of which would be- to
change one man for another, and to remove
the vast patronage in contracts and the APP
poiutment Of fourteen or fifteen hundred en-
ployees from one side to the other, without
In any way touching the existing abuses.
II that be reform, then the less Of it the bet
| ter. for it goes backward instead Of going
| forward. The suffering people who are taxed
for maintaining a concern whose costly pro-
auctions 20 largely into the junk shops at q
mere fraction of the original cost, and whore
swnding the Treasury has become a fine
art, are in no mood for this sort Of trickery.
The Government printing ofllcc ought to
be swept away root and branch. II is u
source Of waste corruption, and dcmoraliza-
ton in every sense. 1t began in job and
has existed by jobbery through which II
Ring, in and outof Congress, have filled their
pockets, until the scandal Is stencil In the
nostrls OF the country. II the Democrats
now appropriate To the benefit Of favored
! partsans a yenal system which the Repub-
! Leans established and used for long years
and stlll use rs n political machine what
claim will they have on public confidence or
| respect, after all their professions Of econ
omy and the reduction Of the public ex-
pcnditurcs?
II this iniquity is to go on without an hon
est effort to stop the plumber, then it is better
that it should stay whore it Is, and that the
responsibility should fall on the Republi-
cans. There Is no merit in turning out one
set Of bloodsuckers to put in another and a
| hungricr set.

THE PoNCA INDIAN CASE.
Judge Dundy Explaining the Fleet OF his De-
cisioa Ordering their ReIense.

OMAHA, May 2O.-Judgc Dundy's attention
was called. yesterday. to remarks reported to
have been made by Gen. Sheridan. and he
made the following statement in regard to the
effect OF his decision In the Ponca Indian case (;
There Is no law OF the United States. or troaty
stipulation. setting apart a reservation in the
Indian Territory for the Indians. nor
for removing them thereto or keeping
them thereon. They cannot be removed and
Kept there by force for the one reason
that no law or treaty in any way authorizes this
o. he DONE and the decision is based upon that
idea alone. IL H. not claimed in the opinion
that Congress might not aathOrize this. nor that
treaty could not be made which would Justify a
resort 10 force but simply that no such authority
has ever been conferred SO far Us these particu-
lar POnca Indians are concerned or course It
is not claimed that the same rules would apply
To Indian tribes having reservations to which
their treaties require them TO remove and re-
main thereon"
