THE BILL for the appointment OF
Election Supervisors, proposed by Sena
tor Bayard, was under discussion OF
Tuesday. Mr.. Bayard explained thai
the object of the bill, was not to affec
the powers of these officers in any way,
but to provide for the regulation of the
tenure of heir offices Mr.. Conklinc
contended that the bill was intended t.
nullify tue laws guaranteeing tree elec-
tions, and placed hem at the unbrid.ed
behest of political majority. Messrs
Thurman and Mcdonald supported the
bill, and Mr.. Hoar and others opposed
IT.. During running debate Mr.. Hamp
ton said ii was great mistake to sup
pose that where there was a colored pre-
ponderance there was republican ma.
iority. There were tens OF thousands
of colored voters in his state who were
as earnest democrats as he was, and he
believed he could go into his State and
be elected by colored votes alone. Mes
srs. Conkllng and Teller having irti-
mated that the Senators on the demo
cratic side had studieusly avoided debate
this session on important questions, Mr.
voorhees, and Others repelled the intima
ton with warmth. At 6.l0 p. m, Mr.
Bayard moved an adjournment whicl
was carried.

ono COMPROMISE WITH THIRD
TERM" is the caption of an article in
the New York 4 tribune, from which
we extract the following paragraph
strongly suggestive of the absolute
refusal of large classes Of Republicans
to vote for Grant and pointing en-
phatically at his certain defeat if he
succeeds in securing the candidacy:
But In this campaign the situation IS
peculiar. The entire convention is
sharply divided, by a new and grave
issue, into supporters and opponents of
q third terul. Those who think that
General Grant ought to be nominated,
or can be elected for a third term, stand
compactly on one side, aud their num-
Der is closely known. They are not q
majority of the convention. Unless by
bulldozing, fraud, or coercion, they can
not control it. Those who Relieve that
General Grant cannot be elected, or
ought not to be nominated, for third
term, are also compactly united by that
belief. The third term issue has dwarfed
all others IN the selection of delegates.
Men have been chosen with little regard
TO their PERSONAL preferences, 30 long as
they were known to he sincere and
earnest in opposing the third term. The
delegates VINO are reckoned as support
ers OF Mr.. Washburne and Mr.. Edmunds
are of this pattern, with scarcely a
known exception They are not tools
or blind followers of those leaders, and
nave been chosen by constituents who
could in no way be influenced to sup
port the third term- 1t is in the last de-
gree improbable that the delegates who
nave been sent by the intense auti Grant
element am ng the Germans at tue
West, though they would gladly support
Mr.. Washburne, could be Influenced by
him or anybody else to favor the third
term. 1t would be the end of any mans
political life, in such constituency, if
he should .hus betray those who have
trusted him. Nor is the case differ
ent with the delegates who favor Mr..
Edmunds, chosen as they were, in
nearly every case, by an organized and
outspoken anti-Grant and "anti-
Blaine'' movement.

Senator. BCZv01'd's BIZ,

Senator Bayard's bill, with refer.
ence to the appointment of deputy
marshals, passed the Senate on Friday
despite the strong opposition of Sena-
tor Edmunds, and awaits but the vote
of the House to become a law of cleo
tion. II can truly oe said of Mr.. Bay
ard that every measure he advocates
carries with IL the stamp of sterling
merit. All parties have sufficient con
fidence i'll his puri y as Democratic
statesman to believe he would recon-
mend no measure incompatible with
the public interests, or the free and
honorable mode of conducting cleo
! tlons. 1t has been for the last three
| years source of complaint in Con-
| gress that Tree elections could not be
secured under federal supervision. A
bold effort had to be made to abate the
evil which Mr.. Bayard's bill was
framed to remedy. Had any other
member, of either party, broug ght for
ward measure for or against the fed
eral supervision of elections in The
states, the suspicion of one side or the
other mi-ht have been excited and the
DILL would have been rejected by the
Senate. But Bayard's name is pass
port to any bill he presesents, or any
measures he faVOrs. Modern degen-
eracy has not reached him.
IL is to be hoped he does not stand
alone IN Congress, He will be at least
strongly supported when he asks the
suffrage of he people. The bill, drawn
up with the utmost fairness. is design
ed to silence all objections and refute
any imputation that 1t was intended as
partisan measure. Under the provi-
siOns OF the bill neither Democrat nor
Republican can acquire any unjust ad-
vanIage. The principle of the bill is
that the depu y marshals shall be
chosen in equal numbers from the diff
lerent poll zeal parties. Should that
concession not be made by Congress,
an Appropriation to pay for the SER
vices ot such supervising officers
would be granted with great reluctance
oy Democratic members whose wishes
were not regarded at this important
crisis. Should he blll pass the House
and the President withhold his sigma
lure, he might be suspected of wishing
to keep open u nil after he next cleo
ZION a question which should have been
closed long since.

City Court Notes.

In the city court yesterday morning Thomas M. Grady was charged with keeping his saloon open last Sunday night, with keep ing house of assignation and with keeping a disorderly house at 4S Union street. c. T. Driscoll appeared for the defendant. After hearing mass of evidence on the part of the State showing that the place had bad reputation, the witnesses for the defense were called. This evidence was of course in favor of the defendant. After hearing the testimony on both sides Judge Stoddard found Grady guilty of keeping his place open on Sunday and imposed fine of $40 and costs. For keeping disorderly house His Honor imposed fine of $50 and costs. An appeal was taken by Grady and bonds were furnished for his appearance before the Superior Court. In the cases of Gallagher and the Kelly woman, found in the place when the raid was made, judgment was sus- pended.
 John Gavigan, who was charged with as- saulting John Smith on Tuesday, had his case continued until Friday.
 Michael Canfield, who, as appeared in evil dence was often drunk and abused his fami- ly at such times, sent to jail for ten days.
 John Wood (colored), Joseph Davidson and James Tanning were charged with being va grants and sleeping in outhJuses. Judge Stoddard bound the prisoners over to the Superior court under the tramp law, and their bonds were fixed at S20O.

The New Rules-A Little Easier Set of
 Regulations.
 At the State Board of Health meeting at Hartford Tuesday, which was secret ses- sion for consultation, the Board came to the following conclusions:
 First-It was decided to adopt the sugges- tions prepared by the railroad employees and to have @ practical test by red, white and green flags and lights, under such circum- stances as they are used on the railroads in this State, and no railroad employe will be dismissed or refused full certificate who can pass such practical test.
 Second-In order to sift out those who may need to be examined for defective vision or color blindness, it was decided to have Q preliminary test under the old rules with worsteds, etc, but with some material modi- fications in the severity of the tests ordered. Any person found defective by this test is entitled to practical test if he is already a railroad man if new man the old tests will be continued.
 This is substantially all the railroad en- ployes have asked for, and all parties inter- ested are satisfied that the examinations, as modified, shall proceed. The result is that the railroad employees have secured the right to practical examination with such flags and lanterns as are used on the Connecticut railroads. No person can be refused cer- tifcate who can ultimately pass the practical test ordered Tuesday. And common sense prevails over miscalled science.

FIRE RECORD.

Destructive Fire-Heavy Loss of Phila- deIphia EIIlI Property.
 PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 25.-Fire broke out soon after o'clock this morning in the four mill of William B. Thomas & Co.,, northwest The flames are said by some to have orig1- hated in the engine room, but others say that the fire was seen simultaneously in several parts of the mill Spreading rapidly, the flames communicated to the stove and hol- low ware foundry of Stuart $ Peterson, on the west, which extended as did the mill from Willow to Hamilton street, and then to the large building at the southwest corner of Thirteenth and Hamilton streets, occupied by Gumpert & Brothers, manufacturers of cigars. Thomas <S Co.'s mill was in opera tion at the time the fire was discovered, and the workmen beat nasty retreat. One of them, William Miller, foreman in the milling room, is missing. The building was soon in ruins all the walls falling and filling the streets by which it is bounded The falling bricks crushed the eastern end of Stuart & Peterson's foundry and the flames, which soon swept into the pattern room in the northeastern corner of the struc- ture. destroyed almost all the pat terms, which MT. Peterson said will be difficult to replace. He estimates his loss at $75, ,0OO, which is covered by insurance. The loss on the mill property is placed at $10o, 0OO Gumpert & Brothers occupy the second and third floors of the front of the building at the northwest corner of Thir- teenth and Hamilton streets, and the second, third and fourth floors in the rear. The first and fourth floors of the front of the struc- ture are vacant. The building is 11O feet front by 65 feet deep. The firm employed one hundred and fifty hands, and they had in stock 4O0, ,000 loose cigars. Their insurance is S23, 900 and will cover their loss. On ths east side of Thirteenth street all the build ings were damaged. The coal of fee ofZGarber Brothers corner Thir- teenth and Willow street, was burned out, caus- ing loss of $4,0oO insured. Extending northward the store and dwelling of Mathil- da Douglass, No. 429, was damaged to the extent of $500; No. 435, Lacey's tavern, was damaged $1,O0O; the southeast corner of Thirteenth and Hamilton, occupied by Will liam Robinson, blaeksmith's shop and dwell ing, $500; the northeast corner of Thir- teenth and Hamilton, Peter Small's saloon 1,50O No. AS, Fred Naumann's saloon, $1, ,O00 No. AS, saloon of Jacob Will $500; and several small dwellings in the rear of Thirteenth street above Willow street were slightly damaged.
