WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June Among
the bills introduced in the House
to~day was one by Mr.. Buck
ner amending section 3,700 of the
Revised Statutes so as to read as
follows: "The Secretary Of the
Treasury may purchase coin for the
purpose of maintaining resumption
with notes of the United States,
authorized by law, at such rates and
upon such terms as he may deem
most advantageous to the public in
terest, and he is hereby prohibited
from selling or issuing any of the
interest-bearing obligations of the
United States for any purpose ex-
cept for refunding the public debt. -
The following Is the substance of
the bill reported from the Senate
Judiciary Committee to~day, as a
substitute for Bayard's bill to
repeal the jurors test oath sections
of the Revised Statutes. 1t will
form part of the Legislative and
Judicial Appropriation bill agreed
on by the Democratic caucus. Sec
tion8 sol, $50 and 821, and the
last clause of section 500 of the
Revised Statutes are repealed. All
grand and petit jurors in United
States Courts shall be pub
licly drawn from box
containing the names of not
less than 800 persons, possessing
the qualifications prescribed in sec
ton 800 of the revised statutes,
which names shall be placed therein
by the Clerk of the Court and
Commissioner to be appointed by
the Judge thereof. Said Commits
sioner shall preside in the District
in which the Court is held. He
shall be of good standing and a well
known member of the principal po-
litical party opposing that to
which the Clerk belongs, the
Clerk and this Commissioner shall
each place one name in said box al
ternately until the whole number
required shall be placed therein,
but nothing contained therein shall
be construed to prevent any judge
in the district in which such is now
the practice from ordering the
names of jurors to be drawn from
boxes used by the State authorities
in selecting jurors in the highest
courts Of the State. All laws in
conflict herewith are repealed.
A meeting of the Appropriations
Committee of the House has been
called for tomorrow morning, when
the bills agread upon by the joint
Democratic caucus last night will
be submitted for action.

The Associated Press Agent at
Washington was either drunk or
asleep, both perhaps, aud forgot to
send us the news from the Ohio
Democracy Convention, except in
homeopathic doses. The two daily
papers in Knoxville pay over two
thousand dollars year for their press
dispatches, aud other points in the
South pay, or ought to pay in the
same proportion. For that price we
have a right to expect the news,
especially about matter of such gen.
eral interest to the reading public as
this Ohio convention. If we can not
do better than this, return 10 the
good old days Of stage Coaches and
horseback pOst-riders would be no
very serious draw, back.

tion he said: 81 am not going far, only
to the spring to get some water to drink
Having sickness IN the house, the infer.
ence is that they did not want any of the
Brandywine water for the purpose ol
drinking.
How much longer the citizens will al
low the water in the Brandy wine to be
polluted with thatinfAmous dye stuff I dc
not know. But, "ferbearance will soon
cease to be q virtue," n it has not already y
come to that. The people will bear a
great amount, but when they once say
stop, these factory men will be brought
to an account and when 1t comes it will
be felt by the transgressors.
/ saw letter in yesterdays issue OF
the GAZETTE from Mr.. George G. Lob.
dell on the subject of this bad water we
have to drink, and it says that we do not
know how good spring water tastes, for
we have lost sight of what pure water Is
We believe the Brandywine water is as
pure as Mr.. Lobdells spring II the impu-
rites are kept out that IL now allowed to
be let into it.
And that person who signs himself
"Inquirer' and wants tho Council to
have an analysis of the water at once,
cannot have been here long, for we have
spent about 5000 for that purpose al
ready. But am glad to see that he is
on our side and wants clean water. Your
editorial on this subject, yesterday,
spoke for itself, and gives M some infor-
nation, as to how aud when this stuff
which is complained of so much, lis let into
the creek. By what you say there is an
understanding between the engineer at
the pump and the parties above, and
make the best you can out of it and the
best construction you can, we who have
to drink the water have to suffer from
all mistakes made at either end, and il
the man above who lets this refuse out
wants little time, an bsur or two too
soon, and then the pumps will give us
this time in pumping into the basin.
We always get what Is in the forebay,
that which falls over the wheel, which IS
no small amount, besides all that sticks
to the rocks, and ice that comes down at
leisure. And for the further proof of
this, when the new basins were emptied
the north one showed that the walls
were stained by the coloring or dye stuffs
from the factories. Now the people
who pay water tax want water and do
not want the dye in It; If they do they
can mix II themselves. Whether this
bad water Is the cause of the terrible
sickness which Is prevailing at this presl
ent time in the city we are not able 70
say, but we know II Is no b. nefit to the
water that we drink, and we are not sat-
isfied to take the risk any longer.

Senator Bayard.

Fr@-,sAhe Bait. SIM.
Thatstaunch old democratic journal
tho Boston Post, expresses the opinior
that the haste and clumsiness with which
the story in the New York Times wa
made up about Senator Bayard's lending
himself 70 an organization of his persona
friends Id Delaware for the purpose o
bringing himself forward as . presiden
ttal candidate in 1880, and of course t.
head off all rivals by an early occupation
ofthe field, are enough Of themselves Il
stamp 1t with incredibly. The Post say
''ir is obviously a republican device tt
seek to prejudice the strongly favorable
chances of Mr.. Bayard by inciting pre-
maturely feeling of uneasiness within
the democratic party" and adds
"From the well-known character o
Senator Bayard 1t is impossb BILE to be
lievehim capable ofeither sharing In suct
project or OF entertaining it. He is moi
a man to receive promotion through tn,
vulgar arts of management and mpina
ton, but rests his prospects as a public
man wholly upon his services and his
character
No American citizen can look back
over the record of our politics since the
war with the South ended withOu
meeting with the name of Senator Bayi
ard IN the most honorable connection
There IN no need of man of his stamI
calling In his friends to help him crowd
back a rival candidate. He was for a
long time too steadily CONSPICUOUS in re.
forming the abuses which had been en-.
grated our custom house system, and In
resisting the Dameless tyrannies of re.
construction, not TO speak of his earnest
efforts on bshalf OF the restoration of a
sound and honest currency, to require
any OF the small helps, such as are prac-
ticed by the party In which this absurd
story originates. The democrats have in
him, If they decide to take him as their
candidate, a man who is popular solely
because of his sterling worth. He unitea
the traditions of the old and revered
school with the desirable additions of
the new.
He brings tried principles to the solu-
ton OF the questions of the time, and,
while conservative and safe, is also pro-
gressive and liberal. There is every rea-
foot by his political opponents is unwor-
thy of credit, not the least conclusive of
which is the fact that there is no need Of
any personal efforts on his part, since he
is the last man to be overlooked by the
Democratic party"
The Cleveland (O.) Herald, a republi-
can paper, alluding to the same subject,
says:
"Bayard Is now the leading democratic
candidate for the presidency. Among
all the candidates who have sufficient
prominence to make them available,
Baynrd alone has a good consistent re-
cord on the money question. As the
strongest man the democrats can nomi-
nate. He Is . reputable, conservative,
cleanhanded statesman, who sticks to his
principles and can show q consistent re-
cord on all public questions. He is not
magnetic, and has few warmly-atrached
friends, but he is courteous and hoDora-
BILE in his dealings with men. and has
therofcee no enimies. Altip-all, Bayard
must be looked upon q the coming man
for the democrats"

The largest audience of the season was
present last evening to witness the enter
tainment given by Haverly's Mastodon
Minstrels. Every seat in the house was
taken and hundreds stood patiently
through the whole entertainment, being
unable to obtain seats. The audieuce
was in fact the largest that has greeted
any enter ainment given in the city for
the past year. Such an aggregation OF
black-faced talent has never been placed
on the boards in this city before. In fact
the entertainment, taken as whole, was
the best of the kind ever placed on the
boards in this city, and Haverly's Min
strels will always be welcomed by Syra-
Cuso audiences.

Bile for its quietude. Very few people
were on the streets. The weather greatly
nterfered with 'calling." From noon
itsnowed-not enough to bring out sleighs
but sufficient to make walking disagree
able. The temperature ranged between
20 and 80 degrees. Slight rain follow
ing the snow rendered the sidewalks dan
serous from covering Of ice at night.
Visiting was not near so general as here
