Mr.. J. D. Taylor OF Ohio, introduced a
rc:seiution yesterday IN the House to pro.
l,iblt tho dischargeo Of any honornbly dis
charged Union soldier, or his widow, or
daughter, from any position in the civil
service except for specific cause. "
Tho friends OF the Educational bill cx-
press considerable confidence that 1t will
become y law ut this session. In the re-
cent political campaign tho Democratic
candidates for Congress In several OF tho
Southern Suites found 1t ,liilicnlt; to OK
plain why tho House failed to pass the
olll ut tho lust session, md they are OK
trehleiyanxions for action upon It. II
The visit Of tho Swain Court Martial to
the President, in full dress uniform, head
gu BY General scl,oield, recalls the fact
That This Is tho largest and highest rank
ing court martial that has assembled in
this country since long before tho war.
The court that tried Gen. Fitz John Porter
was composed Of bnt nine members md
was inferior in. point OF aggregate rank to
tho one OF thirteen members now in ses-
sion for the trial Of Gen. Swain.
Frank liurd, the free trader, saws that
Il there Is not something done to reduce
tho tarli! this winter 1t will not be his
au't.s lie will make the fight with ull his
might, and believes he will succeed III re.
ducing the revenue. He is almost alone
IN This belief. The Indications arc hat the
Democrats will call II caucus to decidp
upon the course to be followed. Mr.. A. 81
Hewitt thinks this wonlll probably by the
proper thing to do.
Chairman Buckner, OF the Banking and
currency Committee, says that the Nc
rherson bill, extending the circulation Of
the National banks to the iacc value OF
their bonds, will probably be passed lit
the present session OF Congress, but that it
Will not afford the desired permanent re.
i'ef In 1'uckner's opinion the only way
10 remedy the trouble is to let the Gov.
eminent furnish all the money and do
away with the circulation OF the banks.
s.sCol. Morrison does not appear to be
worried because his name has not been
used as that OF candidate for Il cabinet
position under President Cleveland.
When asked what was meant by Il para
graph OH this subject which appeared in a
New York paper, he pulled his SLOUGH hat
down over his eyes. laughed heartily but
silently, and replied, with one finger at
ms hose: "iou can say that don't peea
70 have my name paraded in newspaper
CaI'net lists to remind people That am
still in the Democratic Party" 9gi
. The belief that the departments arc fill- |
ed with Republicaus only, and that
Democratic Senators and Members have
no success in obtaining places for their
friends, Is erroneous. The larger mart Of
ihc employees are Republicans, but the
Democrats are not few. Democratic Scna.
tors, particularly from Southern States,
have Jared well in this respect. They
have not only had clerkships placed ut |
their disposal to reward POLITICAL iayo,ites,
but to pension relatives, one Senator hay
Ing as many as half n dozen on the nav.
rolls through the favor OF single Repub-
llcan Cabinet officer. 'as
