The Repeal Bill Likely TO Drag Along
in the Senate

But in the House the Supervisors of

Its Pathway and a Very Lively

Washington, Sept 24-There is a reas-
onable certainty that congress will spend
the entire week in debate. The first
business in the Senate will be the resolu-
tion offered Saturday morning by Mr..
Stewart declaring for the independence
of the three great branches of the fed
eral government. This comes up in the
morning hour tomorrow, and Mr.. Stew
art viii make it the text for an attack
upon the administration, on The ground
that it has trespassed upon the constitu-
tional powers of the legislative branch of
the government in the case Of the pend
ing repeal bill.
SPEECHES AND SPEECHES.
Notice of formal speeches has been given
by Messrs. Bate of Tennessee for Monday
after the morning hour, by Perkins of
California for Tuesday, Pascoo of Florida,
orWednesday and Dubois of Idaho for
later date in the week. These speeches
will not fill all of the time, as the length
ening of The sessions by the addition of an
hour will give seven full hours
for debate each day; but before Monday

doubtless be increased, and there are
half dozen senators who stand ready to
talk at any moment they may be
called upon to do so.
FEDERAL ELECTIONS REPEAL.
The House will, on Tuesday next, 26th,
enter upon the two-weeks' debate of the
bill to repeal 'all statutes relating To su-
pervisors of elections, and special deputy
marshals, y reported by MIR. Tucker, from
the committee on the election of Presi-
dent and Vice President, and representa-
tives in congress. According to the terms
of the order reported by the committee
on rules, the House will proceed to its
consideration on that day Immediately
after the second morning hour, or if said
second morning hour shall not have sooner
ended, then at the hour of o'clock p. m.
on said day. and it further provides
''that the consideration of said bill shall
be resumed Immediately after the second
morning hour of each legislative day
thereafter up to and including the 9th day
of October next That at the hour of ad-
Journment on said last named day the
previous question shall be considered
ordered on all pending amendments to the
bill, to its engrossment and third reading
and to its final passage"
ONE BILL THAT WILL REACH VOTE.
That on the next legislative day, to wit,
the 10th day of October next, at the hour
OF O'Clock p. m, the House shall resume
consideration of said bill and shall pro
ceed, without further debate and with
out intervening motions, to vote, first, on
the pending amendments, if there be any
then on the engrossment and third read
ing of the bill; then on the
final passage thereof, and then on
motions to reconsider and lay on the
table," should such motions be made. If
from any cause this order shall not be
fully executed on the last day mentioned
herein, then this order shall continue in
force and be operative each legislative
dayo thereafter, until said bill shall be
finally disposed of.
JOHNNIE 1. WILL GET A SCORING.
Mr.. Tucker, whose name is attached to
the measure on the calendar,will open the
given notice that in the course of his re
marks he will have something to say
about the cost of executing the laws
sought to be repealed, and especially the
allowance made to John /. Davenport, the
chief supervisor of elections in New York.
Messrs. Dearmond and Lawson, members
of the committee, will follow Mr. Tucker
for the bill, but further than this no de-
tails of the debate on that side have been
Il lg,err4 ~
York members will speak more fully than
Mr.. Tucker of Davenport's connection
with the election machinery in that city
PRIMING WITH PAPER wADs.
In opposition to the bill Dolliver of Iowa
will have the opening, followed by MIR
Johnson of Indiana. Both of these are
comparatively young men and new mem
bers, but they are the most aggressive
political debaters on the republican side,
and it is expected that much vigor will
mark their speeches. They are loading
themselves with extracts from southern
newspapers of recent date, which they
will use to demonstrate the necessity for
the continuance of the elections laws on
the statute books; and before the voting
stage is reached a red-hot political battle
will doubtless be raging.
DILAToRY MOTIONS IMPOSSIBLE.
There are several bills on the calendar
which may occupy the House in the
morning hour each day prior to the cleo
lions bill debate. Among these is the
bill reported by Mr.. Oates, from the
committee on judiciary, to repeal por-
5ion of the laws covered by the Tucker
bill, and which in a general way may be
said to represent the views of the con-
mem bers of ma ajority. They be-
ieve that certain provisions sought to
De repealed by the advocates of the
Fucker bill should remain in force, but
hey will doubtless vote for that measure,
preferring the Oates bill. How
ever, the consideration of any other bill
han that set forth in the pending order
will be dilatory, and final action is not an
on any one of importance until
he elections repeal bill is out of the way.
