WASHINGTON, July !.
Mr.. EATON called up the adjournment
resolution and moved Ia smend by fixing
) D. In. to-day a. the time.
Mr.. WINDOW then spike in exF ans
tion OF his course yesterday. lie said his
side had now exhausted all the legitimate
lowers conferred upon them by The rules,
in order to induce the msjoriiy to make the
necessary appropriations for marshals.
The President had, 20 far a. Mr.. Window
kne y, exhausted all the powers possessed by
him on the subject He had made q pa
triotic appeal 10 Congress to do its duty
and not 90 home without making the neces
ssry appropriations.
| Mr.. KEHNAN-It is 10. true that the
bill vetoed Yesterday appropriated $780,
| 600 applicable to the execution OF all the
laws that are mentioned in that message.
1t simply prohibited its use TO pay special
deputy narshals for attending elections.
! II state should provide money for all
ordinary expenses Of sheriffs in enforcing
the laws, would it be extraordinary if the
Legislature saw fit to say: I've won't pei
nit you to use this money to have special
deputies to arrest men without process in
one particular subject"
Mr.. WINDOM-That will not do. What
ever the original bill may have said on
that subject, offered one yesterday that
said nothing about marshals, but only
msrshals and their general deputies, ard
every Democratic Senator voted for its in
definite postponement.
Mr.. HERMAN Ies; after We had added
the simple provision that the money should
not be used for other purposes, which the
President does not specify.
Mr. WINDOW continued BY showing
thar for four years the Democratic Honse
had annually passed an appropriation bill
containing the special clauae that the pro-
visions of title %, Revised Statutes, should
be enforced. He thought this q
curious fact, in view of the present attitude
of the party. He referred to the assertion
Of prominent democratic senators, that un-
der no circumstances would the necessary
appropriations be allowed 10 fail. Those
ried out the threats made at the opening of
the session to coerce the executive into en-
dorsing certain political measures "a
erument to 20 on. The Repub.i.
Cdus hdu uOuc III tuclE pOWcT
would not now further oppose the adjourn
ment resolution. If the Democratic party
could aaord to go the people with such a
record, the Republicans could certainly
rest upon theirs.
throwing the blame for the failure of the
appropriation for marshals upon the Presi-
dent
Mr.. WINDOW said part of the court
expenses had been provided for; but it was
as if shot and shell had been furnished and
powder denied. The arm was psrslyiz d.
Mr.. EATON thought Mr.. Window had
not been visited by kind natures sweet
re.torer" last night. He must have had
the nightmare. He resented Mr.. Win
dom's assertion thst the Democrats would
be responsible for the non-execution of the
DEGREES of the courts, and said that the
Republicans we're open to such a charge.
Mr.. CARPENTER asked Mr.. Eaton il
he thought the army appropriation
bill authorized the use OF troops at the
polls in any form whatever.
Mr.. EATON did not think 40. II it did,
he had made great mistake in voting
for it.
Mr.. CARPENTER entirely agreed with
Mr.. Eaton.
Mr.. EATON was grstifed. He enter
tained high opinion OF Mr.. Carpenters
legal ability and hoped his opinion would |
govern the m an at the other end OF the |
avenue. The adjournment resolution was
passed as amended-yess %; nays, l6; |
