BILLS WITH DEBATE IN THEM.
There are two bills on the Senate calen-
dar which will give an opportunity for I'M
limited political discussion. The first was
introduced By Mr.. Mcdonald May 9Th, and
its object is to prohibit military interference
at elections. The second was introduced
by the same Senator May 22d, and is enti-
tied bill to authorize the employment Of
the militia and the land and naval forces Of
the United States in certain cases and for
other purposes.
WISE MEASURE OF REFORM.
Last winter Mr.. Potter's bill to remove
all war claims and other private claims not
including pensions from Congress to the
Court OF Claims passed the House by a
two-thirds vote and ought to have passed
the Senate. Senator Johnston has an
nounced that he will Introduce substantially
the same bill in the Senate at an early day.
1t is wise measure OF legislative reform,
and the sooner it becomes law the better
for the county. The Court OF Claims is
Republican, and the Democratic party and
the South cannot be held responsible for its
awards to loyal southern claimants. The
Republicans do not want the bill to pass.
