PATRIOTIC LEGISLATION.

The Democrats of the lower house of Con-
gress have decided that they will not leopard
ize the passage of the army appropri-
alton bill by making the repeal of the
supervisors of elections law rider to that
measure. They will insist, however, on the
provision forbidding the use of troops at cleo.
tions, and thus obliterate finally the suprem-
acy of the military over the civil power. A
bill has been drawn, and will probably be re.
ported to the House to-day, repeating the su-
pervisors of election law, and it will no doubt
pass that body. Its fate in the Senate, how
ever, is matter of conjecture. A few cor
respondents profess to believe that it will
command the votes of two or three Republic
can Senators, and if so it will pass without
difficulty. "
By making this an independent measure
the Democrats have left their opponents nc
ground for the charge that they are trying
to force an extra session of Congress. The
remaining propositions of the army bill are
too manifestly just to require any defense.
They should not be regarded as partisan
measures, for they are simply patriotic. Nc
man who sincerely desires to improve ou1
political systemic restore it to it's origina
form-can refuse to vote for them.
1t is charged by the Chicago Tribune thai
one great reason which will influence the
Democrats to force an extra session will be
the desire to obtain possession of the three
hundred offices in the gift of the Senate, and
to organize the committees in the interest OF
the South. The assertion is too preposterous
and unwarranted to admit of consideration
Such motives have led the Republican party
to all manner Of outrage and indignity, but
| the past record of the Democracy does not
argue that they would be guilty in like man
ner. If an extra session becomes necessary
it will become SO through the refusal of the
Republicans in the Senate to consent to need
ed egislation-legislatian that is demanded
by the country as means of restoring purity
and freedom to our elections. Upon them
will rest the responsibility, and no amount
OF subterfuge can avail to relieve them of it

notify the contractors that future estimates
would not be allowed until satisfactory evil
dence was given of the prompt payment of
their just indebtedness. l.
In answer to a question Mr.. Sewall explained
thai all the stone for work on the bridge had
been cut, with the exception of small
quantity to be used on the superstructure.
Mr. Cochran stated that the surity bond of
the contractors had been drafted by County At
torney Rogers, and that the amendment to the
bill, having reference to condemnation notices.
had already passed the House.
In referring to the progress of work on the
prldge, MIR. Cochran said that some action
should be taken to accelerate work on the
superstructure. The char acquiesced in the
suggestion, stating that intelligence should be
received from the war department concerning
the approval of plans for the superstructure.
Mr. Llndeke moved that the secretary be in
