OF tho United States District-Attorney for

them cover ono or more days before nm

subject; and will return to il only for the
purpose OF saying few words as 10 a
question which has been raiscd again
since we referred 10 1t Ia these
columns. II Is said by The other side that
the words "at an election" extend over

elusive answer 10 this assumption 10 say
that it is entirely destroyed 10y the fact
that the law provides for offences commit
ted OH reSisiraticn-day rs well as those
committed OH clcction-day. II would
never have occurred 10 any congressman
that II was necessary TO provide for offences
committed at any registration II he had
held. that the words cat IN election y
covered rcels.ration.dly. The registration
Is done in Virginia ten days before The
election. The Legislature could Just as
wei order !! 10 lo done two months be-
forcland aud truly enough IL may be said
that II tic words "at an election mean
anything more than during sn election
or =" cO5yisleut or coincidCnt with an cleo
ton" then tlicy my lie 30 construed rs TO
cover acts done year before clccuon-day.
Bot, 90 we lave said, we have no desire
TO argue tiicsc questions any further.
Judge IlvcuEs and Judge BOND viii put
their own construction upon them. what
ever oar construction may be. when, ii
ever, these questions are decided against
us by the Supreme Court OF the United

Mr.. I,OAR aud Mr. BUTLER recently had a

urkind things OF enc anothcr. Upon rc-
Election. and no Goubt upon the advice OF
friends, they determined to omit from the

without good reason, il seems TO lis. We
canrot imagine why ii should he thought
improper 70 omit from the record OF the
proceedings Of the Senate a report OF re-
marks which all agree were unbeconing
The dignity OF that body and should never
have been made in IT,
@. course no congressman Is allowed so
10 alter the report eli his own remarks as to
make nonsense OF the report OF another

same as to produce false Impression upon
the mind OF tie reader OF the Record. No
congressman is permitted to have his vote
reported otherwise than rs he cast il. Nor
is he permitted 10 change word i'll the
report Of eGoihor members speech. In
fact, the record is what it purperts TO he,
and gives Just a. fair report OF the pre-

would wish to have.
We have thought sometimes That con-
eressmcn ought not to lie allowed to print

However, we are not sure but il IS better
to allow this than for Congress to sit long

members Of the House, has authorized the
publication OF the following as coming
from ,,gn al believe the time has come
when those who are known 70 be friendly
to the interests involved in the agitation OF
this subject should speak plainly. After 4
careful survey OF the situation, en- salts
tied that no act repeating the tax on tobac-
co, snuff, and cigars can he passed at this
session, and ] am almost as we'll satisfied
that the Senate will not agree 20 any re-
! duction below T. cents per pound on to-
bacco, and 81 per thousand OH cigars. In
/ fact, II is not ty any means certain that
| these email reductions will lie made. The
| Senate Finance Committee proposes 10 re-
/ duce the whole tariff system in the ill
which contains the proposed reductions OF
! internal taxos. and Of course the passage Of
such Il comprehensive measure is, to say the
least. very uncertain. | think the rauu-
facturcrs Gud dealers in tobacco, snuf, and
cigars can safely assume that the question
OF repeal is settled. 'Shc agitation ought
now to cease, In order that The trade may
