The Republicans in Congress appear '" 10
dead in earnest in their purpose to pass a FED
eral Election law There is corresponding ols'
NAV among the Democrats In consequence
The measure in accordance with the House
caucus decision will be compromise between
the bills submitted by MIR. Lodge and Mr.
Rowell, with which our readers have peeh
made familiar. Its main feature Is to pe an
enlargement of the Supervisors law which mas
long been applicable in this city. Ihe need
Of such law for the whole country was never
more apparent than to-day.
Prohibitionists are in an overwhelming ma
;ority in the National Temperance Congress,
so-called, and the disposition of some of these
toward those who differ from them is certainly

To engage Mr.. Choate when he found himself

hole-has asked the Fassett Committee to give
the Boss of Tammany hearing. we as

in accommodating him with an early date The
sessions will be uncommonly entertaining when
Croker is on the stand. THE TRIBUNE has
already indicated the main lines along which
the examination should proceed.
One OF our Washington dispatches fore
lhadows the decision of the subcommittee OF
the House Committee on Elections to the effect
that Colonel Clayton was elected in the Lid
District of Arkansas in 1855, and that Mr..
Breckinridge has no valid claim to the seat
which he has occupied up TO this time. This
seems the only fair and Just conclusion from
