when bygones will be bygones, and peace and
harmony everywhere prevail" applause
Stirring speeches were made by Senators Blaine
and Chandler, after which the bill passed, by n
strict party vote. Although nothing is known Ms
to the course which the President will take, II Is
very generally believed in Republican circles that
ANOTHER vEro IS IMPENDING
Before the bill was fully scrutinized and when,
ms the President had been assured by the demo-
Gratis that 1t contained nothing more than n mere
prohibition Of the use Of troops Mt the polls he,
with other Republicans, took n favorable view OF
the measure, being Of the opinion that It con-
tanned only in more definite shape legislation
concerning the army that already existed. A
close scrutiny Of the measure las shown that the
bill goes much further than it would appear on ts
face, and is totally different from the political
section attached to the appropriation bill, which
Garfield, Couger and other Republicans in the
House had promised to vote for II offered ms a
separate measure. II is n most broad assertion
Of the doctrine Of the right Of states above that Of
the federal government. The use Of troops TO en-
force the laws ofthe country at large would he m
impossibity under such law M the hill pro.
vdes. The bill, "a we stated before, IL very
adroitly worded, but will very probably fail To
deceive the President and Cabinet as il has failed
in Congress. On Monday, or Tuesday at the lat
est, the President will be heard from upon that
subject II Is understood that among the caucus
agreements Of the democrats IL one to the effect
that il this bill is vetoed by the President it will
be htched to the army bill as substitute for the
other obnoxious section and sent to him again

army appropriation will fail to be made. It is, al
all events, the intention Of the democracy in
Congress to carry ont the programme announced
by Blackburn TO strike every war measure from
the statute book Whether they will allow the
appropriations to fail remains to be seen. The
legislative bill still hangs fire in the Senate. Ben
Hill made IN imprisoned speech in favor Of it,
political legislation to-day.
SECRETARY SHERMAN
saws his visit to Ohio was a very pleasant one
and that the political aspect of the state is look
ing highly favorable for the Republicans. Al
though he asserts that he has no intention of run
ming for governor Of Ohio 1t il the general belle
that he will accept should the nomination b,
given him by the convention, which meets on thu
25th of this month. The possibility Of his accept
ance has had the effect to dislrrange every plan
the democrats had cut and dried, and the Obi,
democratic leaders are now all ut sea In regard t,
their own candidate. Their convention meets OF
the 4th of June It is quite evident that all tru,
Ohioans believe that their state has succeeded
Virginia as the mother of presidents, and farther
that it is the only real and true private state o
the Union-the claims Of New York to the con
trary, notwithstanding. The exodus of president
makers from Washington to Ohio Of late ha
been as marked in its way as that Of the coloret
people from the South to Kansas. This IL one o
the proofs that the coming campaign in Ohio Il
generally regarded as an important one, and a
having great bearing upon the presidential cam
paign of 1880. II Sherman is the Republican
nominee for governor, it is thought that Senate
Thurman will he induced to make the run agains
him Both being regarded as candidates for tn,
presidential nomination at the hands of their re
spective parties adds an additional element Of in
terest to the approaching campaign in that state
PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.
The democratic Senate have evidently decided
to unseat Senator Kellogg, and give the seat t,
the contestant SpofIord The case having beer
once decided on its merits there is no preceden
for such proceeding AS is now on foot in tina
body. Senator Matt Carpenter made II powerful
argument against the proposition on Thursday
characterizing the action proposed as violativ'
of reason, Justice, and parliamentary usage, ant
AS threatening the seat Of every Republican be
cause the democrats were in the majority.
The speech of Colonel Joyce made in the llous'
on the legislative appropriation bill will b'
printed and circulated by the Republican Con
gressioDal committee as campaign document
As AN arraignment of the democratic party it i
considered as one of the strongest made in Con
gress this session.
Senator Edmunds, with his wife and daughter
leaves for Europe on the adjournment of Congress
The President and family will remove to thei
Summer quarters at the Soldiers Home in
few days.
