THE POSTPONED ELECTION BILL
1t May Take All the Time Of the Next
Session.

Inc agreement between the democrats and
republicans to postpone the federal election
bill and dispose Of the tariff promptly was per-
fected in the Senate this morning. Mr.. Plumb
withdrew his objection to the proposition OF
Mr.. Aldrieh and unanimous consent was Sc
cured. A vote on the tariff bill on the Sth of
September gives promise of an adjourn
ment the first week in October,
and, Of course, settles the election bin for the
present session. Something may happen to
prolong the session, but the election bill will
not be benefited by that The republicans
have agreed among themselves that at the
next session, whether in December or two
weeks earlier, the bill shall be taken
up and shall be considered day after day
to the exclusion of everything else The
whole time from the day OF their assembling
until the 4th of March may be consumed with
out considering any other measures. 1t is as
will MOI be allowed to interfere, and it may
happen that on the 4th of March
none OF tho appropriations for the sue
ceeding fseal year will be made
The conditions are such as to make it just pos
sble that there may be two extra sessions
within = year-one before and one after the
regular short session But those who are
counting on devoting so much time to the cleo
ton bill will remember that the reapportion-
ment comes in some time during this Congress
