WASHINGTON, May pa canvass CT
members OF the House to-day showed that
the feeling is strongly in favor OF an carly
adjournment, but the trouble is how to
reach it. My own impression is that it will
come all of sudden. A wel-informed
Democrat, whose judgment is entitled to
weight, says it looks TO him that Congress
will get away week after next, and highly
prominent Republican Of extensive sources
OF information remarked to him, ST would
not be surprised il you are right" Il
have from the first contcnded," said the lat
ter, that the session would not run until
the Goth Of June" The House, il it had
not agreed tn adjourn over until Monday,
would on Saturday have taken up the reso-
luton reported from the Ways and Means
Committee fixing June 10th as the day OF
final adjournment. Mr. Whthorne has,
however, given notice that he will move to
recommit it until the Ways and Means Com
mittce Shall report bill imposing an in
come tax and another removing the duty
from quinine.
GENERAL JOHNSTON Is APPLAuDED.
To-day General Johnston offered 4 reso-
luton that the House adjourn over until
Saturday in honor Of the national decora.
tion-day. He thought it but right that
members should have an opportunity OF
joining with others in paying a tribute to
the dead whose graves are to be decorated
tomorrow. His remarks. which were
highly appropriate, were received with APP
plauSc on both sides OF the House. Gene
raj Hawley suggested that as Saturday
would be broken day it would be as well
to adjourn over until Monday. This, Gen
eral Johnston said, would destroy the effect
and intention CT his resolution, and The
House adopted it without amendment
Subsequently it agreed to adjourn over
until Monday.
A CHAPTER OF RADICAL OUTRAGEs IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
When the Radicals started the Teller COM
mittee it was to blast the fair name OF the
real people OF South Carolina, but this same
committee, purified by Democratic re-
organization, has enabled Judge Mackey to
give chapter in the history Of the elections
OF 1876, which will show to the world what
a reign OF terror the Radicals had cstab-
lishcd there prior to Hampton's adminislra-
ton. Those who have heard Conkling and
Blaine denouIce tissue-baIlos aud the
Democratic buldozcrS OF that State are
to-day most interested in lacking over
Judge Mackey's testimony, wherein
he tells OF seeing negro deputy ntar>hals not
only bulIdoze and intimidate but assault nc
sroes for voting the Democratic ticket. Hc
saw leading marshal at the head OF band
Of negroes take Hayes and Hampton ballots
from the hands OF voters and tear them up.
He also heard marShals declare that they
meant to carry the election for the Re7ubIi-
cans, and boast OF Taft's order, under which
they said they were directed not to obey any
process OF any State court. Judge Mackcy
was elected judge by the Republicans oil

petratcd.
ANOTHER TILT OVER RHODE ISLAND.

took occasion 10 say. as usual, quantity OF
spiteful things against the South. Senator
Ben. Hill replied to him, but, thought,
came ont second best. Governor Vance,
however, entered the tilt, and got the better
of Blaine. The fact is, il he will stick to
