CONGRESS-.
Mr.. EatOn's Bill Reported from the
Committee on Judiciary,
WITH TWO AMENDMENTS.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-SENATE-
Mr.. Mcdonald, from the committee
on judiciary, reported the bill, with
amendments, introduced yesterday by
Mr.. Eaton, making it unlawful to use
any part of the army and navy at the
polls, etc. He gave notice that he
would call it up tomorrow.
The judiciary committee have added
two amendments. The first provides
that the bills prohibition against
bringing to or employing troops at
election polls shall not apply to the
use OF military force when necessary
to protect the State against invasion.
The other amendment inserts the
words, when the legislature cannot
be convened, after the clause which
exempts from prohibiting the employ
ment of the army or navy to enforce
the fourth section of article four of
the constitution and laws, made in
pursuance thereof, upon application
of the legislature or executive of the
State.
Mr.. Beck reported from the COM
mitteo on appropriations with amend
ments to the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill, and gave
notice that he would call it up at an
early day. The principal amendments
made by the committee on appro-
priations are those which were
agreed on by the committee yesterday,
including the omission of the clause
directing s1O,OOO,OOO reserve to be
issued in payment of the arrears Of
pensions.

PITTSBURG.
Convention Of American Iron and
Steel Manufacturers.

PITTsBURG, May 6.-The general
convention of American iron and steel
manufacturers and ore producers met
this morningin the rooms of the West
ern Iron and Nail Association. This
convention is intended to include all
the manufacturers and ore producers
of the United States and was called by
Hon. D. j. Merrell, president of the
American Iron and Steel Association.
The purpose of the convention is to
consider the present condition Of
the iron and steel industries, their
wants and the dangers which
threaten them. There was a
large attendance of delegates, in
cluding number of the leading men
of the country engaged in iron and
steel interests.
At II o'clock VIM. P. Shinn, of
Pittsburg, called the convention to
order and moved that the Hon. D. j.
Morrell take the chair. The motion
was unanimously adopted. The chair
man appointed Mr., j. w. Swank and
Mr.. Jos. D. Meeks secretaries of the
Western Iron Association Mr. Nor
rell then addressed the convention.
In speaking of the present condition
of the iron trade he said there were
unnistakable indications of a return
ing tide of business activity and pros
perity. We may not anticipate ad-
vances in prices or great gains in
business operations, yet if we utilize
the experience of the past five years,
and advance with frmness and caution,
we may reasonably anticipate employ
ment for all at living rates, Referring
to the large purchase of English
Bessemer rails by the New York
Central and Hudson River railroad
at a price largely in excess of current
rates here, he said, having been ap-
piled to for information he had not
hesitated to denounce as false and
slanderous the allegation that the ut
most endurance Of the American steel
rails is but five years, and that they
are commonly inferior to the rails
made in England
He alluded to the subject here, as
the whole trade has a common interest
in maintaining the well-deserved repu-
tation earned by American manufac-
turers of Bessemer rails, and also for
the reason that this assault on them
may be regarded as a part Of a scheme
to break down the protective policy Of
the country, which to-day is the sole
guarantee of the continued existence
of a great and growing industry which

The editors of the Okolona States
have written letter to the new Green
back paper in Washington stating who
they are. As the whole country is
famishing for this piece Of news, we
condense it into convenient sized
paragraph for current use. Colonel
A. Y. Harper, who was one of the
founders of the paper in 1872, is
native of Sumter county, has resided
in Mississippi since his early boyhood,
graduated at the State University in
1857, was once elected reporter of the
high court of errors and appeals, twice
elected district attorney in the capitol
district of the State and was Con-
federate officer during the war. In
1873 he become sole proprietor of the
States, and in 1876 he invited Mr..
Will H. Herman, of Ohio, to the posi-
tion of associate editor, which he now
holds. They deny that they are in the
pay of the Republican party and
claim that the paper stands where it
did several years ago. This last state
ment may be correct, but it seems
strange that the wild utterances of the
States were never copied or heard Of
until within the last few months, and
then mostly by Republican papers.
Colonel Harper we know to be high
toned, fearless gentleman, but he has
gone wild and utterly misrepresents
the great body Of the Southern people
No good can come to them or to him
from such an ekratic course. Mr..
Herman is not a carpetbagger in the
popular sense of that term, but he has
been spoken of in no very compliment
iary terms by the papers in Ohio aud
Indiana where he is known. We pro-
test against that spirit of intolerance
which vindictively holds whole COM
munity responsible for the course Of a
single individual or paper.

LATER CONGRESSIONAL.
The Bill Likely to be Passed by the
Democrats.
The spOfford-KslIOsg Case Coming Up.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-HoUsE-
This morning an hour was consumed
in the introduction and reference of
bills. Senate amendments to the bill
providing for certain expenses of the
present session were concurred in.
Mr.. Knott reported back, without
amendment, the bill introduced yester-
day to prohibit military interference
at elections.
Mr.. Robson offered a substitute
making it unlawful to bring to or en-
ploy, at any place where general or
special election is being held in the
State, any part of the army or navy,
unless such employment shall be
necessary to carry out the provisions
of the constitution, or to overcome
forcible distractions to executions of
the laws made in pursuance thereof,
and making any violation of this act a
penal offense.
The substitute is entitled "a bill to
further protect the freedom of cleo
tions."
Mr.. Robeson's substitute was de-
feated by vote of SO to 121. Only
one Greenbacker (Ford) voted aye,
and eight Democrats-LaMatyr Jones,
Ladd, Lowe, Murch, Stevenson, Wea-
yer and Yokum-voted no.
The Republicans flibustered on
| the bill to prevent the interference OF
troops at elections. All but Messrs.
Chittenden, Kelly, Killinger and Nor
ton declined voting, while there were
not enough Democrats present to con-
stitute a quorum. The reason fol-
| filibustering was the refusal to allow
Mr.. COnger to offer an amendment
A second call was ordered. At 2:4(
the flibustering ceased and the vot,
was taken on the bill.
The house committee passed tn,
