the story that AMY democrat in the

pnndeuts ate e!almlng several de-
mooratic Senators, but, rs u~uaI,
without authority. kellogg is very
gu the sul1ect The fe-
publicans to-day committed the
folly Of mmklnga tiiihustering fight
against the .tiamocrsttic ,eaucas I'LL
To prevent military lnlelf+repcs
with eiectlous. They ALSO Voted
for a substitute which would guitr-
antee to the Presiaieut the .eontlp-
uance Of the power to use troops
at the polls upon Que pre'tt1t or
another, and finally abandoning
their fi&ibustei,lHg they voted us D
party against the bill. This was
the result of the party LASH, as
have openly said there
was no use in opposing the bill.
All the best informed republicans
to-day are positive that the Pfest
dent will sign the bill. An aefaft
will probably lbe made by Ed
mun{ls and Conkling, by bulldog
ing Speeches, to work Hayes up to
another veto, but ii is not likely 10
succeed,
The late decision of the United
States Supreme Court on the sub
ject OF the test oath is that a juror
or q witness cannot be Required to
take it or answer o question incnl-
patlng himself as afebal, and aslit
As impossible toprodnee d court Fe-
cord off conviction against any OK
Confederate of such offanse, 1T fol-
lows that ii juror simply declines
to answer the questions the test
oath or any like method cannot lbe
used to exclude him from the Jury
box. The republicans will ,proba-
ply agree, as the law is broken
down, to Ihaveit Informally repealed.
The Eesolute stand of Justice Field
on 'this end similar questions has
made him very obnoxious to the
republicans. They speak Of Judge
Davis, OF Illinois, with aqnal bit
terness. Ii. @. nv.
