The Judge then sent tho jury out again, and

Whether, under these circumstances, the
verdict will stand, is nice question. We
do not believe In forced agreements OF

whether, after Jury have once formally re.

and irremedlable, is doubtful. We do not sec

This bill proposed to put in the form OF
an Independent law just what the Repub-
lcan leaders had literally declared in tho
House, and what the sixth section of the
present Army bill contains But between
tho 18th and the 10th OF June they had
seen new light, and the Republican
caucus In the Senate had decided toprovoke
another veto, II possible. Therefore, when
the vote was called ON the SPRINGER bill,
the Republican column went to the record
solid against their own words and former
vote, led by GARFIELD, BAKER, and HAw-
LEY, who on tho 18th OF June had led
them exactly the other wayl
And this vote gains still moro point from
passage in the speech OF GARFIELD, al
ready referred 10. He said:
THAT no one may misunderstood me, let me put the
case thus Suppose should oncr the following

What GARFIELD put as an absurdity on
the 18th OF June was reality by his
own vote and that Of his party on the
10th Of June. Their vote on the latter
day is an affirmation that the army may be
used as police force at any election held
within any State. There is no escape from
this conclusion, and the hypocrisy Of the
| first vote is clearly exposed
