ADJOURNMENT.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-Senator Eaton called
up his adjournment resolution and moved t.
amend it by fixing P. NJ. to-day as the time
Senator Window then spoke in explanation
of his course yesterday. He said his side had
now exhausted all the legitimate powers con-
ferred upon them by the rules in order to in.
duce the majority to make the appropriation
for 1narshals. The President had, SO far as he
(Windomj knew, exhausted all the powers pos
sessed him on the subject. He had made pa
triotic appeal to Congress to do it's duty and
not go home without making the necessary APP
preparations. The Adjournment resolution, as
amended, finally passed.
Senator Kernan-It Is not true that the bill
vetoed yesterday appropriated $6OO,OOO appli-
cable to the execution of all laws that are men,
toned in that message. 1t simply prohibited
its use to pay special deputy marshals for at
tending elections. II the State should provide
money for all ordinary expenses Of sheritfs in
enforcing laws, would it be extraordinary If the
legislature saw fit to say, 1--WE won't permit
you to use this money to have deputy marshals
to arrest men without process on one particular
subject?"
Senator Windom-That will not do. Whatever
the original bill may have said on that subject,
| offered one yesterday that said nothing about
deputy marshals; but only marshals and their
general deputies, and every Democratic Sena-
tor voted for it's indefinite postponement.
Senator Kernan--Yes after we had added
simply provision that the money should not
be used for other purposes which the President
does not specify.
Senator Window continued by showing that
for four years the Democratic House had passed
appropriation bills containing the special
clause that the provisions of bill rs. revised
statutes, should he enforced. He thought this
q curious fact in view of the present attitude
of she party. He referred to the assertion of
prominent Democratic Senator's that under %
circumstance would necessary appropriations be
allowed to fail. Those Senators sit about while
the party carried out a threat, made at the
opening Of the session, to coerce the executive
into endorsing certain political measures
condition of allowing the government to 90
on. The Republicans had done all in their
power and would not now further oppose the
adjournment resolution. 1t the Democratic
rec, rd the Republicans could rest on theirs.
Senator Hereford made few remarks,
throwing tho blame for the failure of the ap-
preparation for marsbals upon the President.
Senator Window said part of the court ex-
penses had been provided for, but it was as if
shot and shell had been furnished and powder
denied. The arm was paralyzed.
Senator Eaton thought Window had not been
visited by kind natures sweet restorer last
night. He must have had nightmare. He
resented WINDOWS assertion that the Demo-
Gratis would he responsible for the non-execu-
ton of the DEGREES Of courts and said the Re-
publicans were open t" such charge.
Senator Carpenter asked Eaton if he thought
the army appropriation bill authorized the use
of troops at the polls in any form whatever.
Senator Eaton did not think so. If he did he
made great mistake in voting for it.
Naas, MIR nntI rnIu

Senator Eaton was gratifed. He entertained
a high opinion of Carpenters legal ability and
hoped his opinion would govern the man at the
other end of the avenue.
