1t Brings Randall to the Front.


Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE house
committee on appropriations completed
the Consideration of the Cowles internal
revenue bill to-day and authorized a
favorable report with amendments. The
amendments substitute the tobacco clause
of the Randall bill. The bill as reported
abolishes all sorts of tobacco tax,
repeats the law fixing q minimum
penalty for violations of internal revenue
laws and relieves the statute books of
some of the provisions for the punish
ment of offenders against the internal
revenue law which are regarded as OPP
pressiYe. The bill was adopted by vote
of 10 to 4. Those voting i'll favor of the
bill were: Randall, Clements, Camp
bell, Gay, Cannon, Ryan, Butterworth,
Long, McComas and Henderson Those
voting against it were Forney, Foran,
Sayers and Rice.
The Democratic members of the ways
and means committee win not submit
meekly to the passage of the bill from
the appropriations committee. Mr. Ran
dali expects to get his report into the
house tomorrow He will not, in all
probability, be able to do it. He will
not be permitted to submit it as priv
eleged matter and will have to wait until
in the course of time his committee is
reached IN the regular call for reports .
This will cause some delay; in fact,
the committee may not be reached
at all unless a special effort is made sup
ported by a majority of the votes in the
house. The Democrats of the ways and
means committee declare that the Ran
dali bill shall not pass this session, though
they expect it may next congress.

POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS.

The Republican Court in Jack.
sonville is seized with sudden
spasm of political virtue, and a
strenuous desire to protect the purity
of the ballot box, and are thirsting
for the blood of Democrats WHO are
suspected of taking too active part
in the defeat of their party in this
State at the last election. They can
deceive no one into the belief that
this is an honest effort on their part
to execute the laws, and not to perse-
cute Democrats. If they are SO
much in love with the election laws,
and so Mortified at any violation OF
them, why did they not bring some
of their zeal in that behalf into requi-
sition some years ago, when ballot
box stufing was generally practiced
by the members of their party in this
State Many of us, and many of
them, too, remember the Madison
county patent ballot box, the Archer

soon after rewarded by an Office at
the hands of Hayes. All of these
violations of the election laws "
could have been proven by Republi-
can testimony, as they afterwards
were. The Republicans were run
ming the courts then, as they are
now, and these offenders could have
been convicted without stuffing the
jury box, and thereby doing injury
to the sensitive (O Republican con-
science. When the failure to prose

said about can honest desire to en-

watching this partisan Republican
Court, and they are not to be de-
ceived by false pretences.
