are entitled to Shiloh. There are
buried over this battlefield 1000 Con-
federate dead besides many of the
Union dead who We're never found and

Harmony among the democratic
Senators on the tariff bill is not vet as
complete as it might be. although con-
cessions have been made that il was
hoped would secure it, Having held
the bill until they could see no pros
pect or benefit to be gained by further
delay, the subcommittee this morning
submitted it to the full Finance com
mittee, which in turn submitted it TO
a caucus of democratic Senators. not
for the purpose of compelling any SEN
ator to support it, but for IL sort of
family consultation at which all com
plants could be heard and every body
could have chance to aid in bringing
about the hal monious action that will
be absolutely necessary to pass the
bill, even allowing that the populist
Senators will vote for it, as they say
they will because of the retention of
the income tax The caucus appears
to have had a good effect and Senators
who have been worrying are now smil-
ing over the prospects for democratic
unity.
| 1t is expected that the Finance COM
mittee will at once report the bill TO
the Senate, although there are indica-
tions OF an intention on the part of the
republican members of the COMMITTEES
to attempt to delay action on the plea
that they should he given time to pre-
pare minority report against the
bilL They may be given several days
to prepare their report, but the demo-
cratic sentiment is so strongly in favor
OF prompt and speedy uction that their
time is bound to be cut short They
should not really be given day, as
the report can be made ut any time

after the bill has been reported.
Much uneasiness is felt among Sena-
tor. at the reports concerning the con-
ditien of Senator Vance's health,
which is now said to be continually
getting worse. He has not been able
to perform any duties at this session,
but his friends that includes everyone
who ever came in contact with him
: are 10th to believe that his illness Is
helpless. as press dispatches report it
10 be.
1t has been apparent ever since this
Congress got down to business that
there was weak spot in the rules of
the House, but it was not until the
long contest for quorum to vote on
the Bland bill for the coinage of the
seigniorage, the end of which is not
in sight yet, showed the helplessness
OF the House in the absence of voting
quorum that members became fully
aroused to the necessity of a change.
But they are now, and nearly $50 dem
ocratic members have signed q call for
caucus to be held as soon as the
Bland bill is disposed of, to decide
upon the nature OF the change TO be
made. Democrats do not wish the
Speaker to follow Reed and count a
quorum, but q large majority of them
want a rule that will prevent members
sitting in the House and refusing to
vote to make Il quorum, and they are
going to have one, too.
The Senate committee on Printing
has begun the investigation of the
charges of the improper award of the
contract for publishing the Patent
/ Office Gazette, but the evidence so far
taken amounts to nothing and the
source from which the charges came
is of itself almost sufficient to disprove
them.
The feeling among southern demo-
Gratis in Congress on account of the
recent speech of ex-congressman A.
BRAN S. Hewitt, of New York, has
! been greatly exaggerated. With few
exceptions the southern congressman
regard the matter with entire indif-
+ ference. Representative Caruth, OF
Ky. says: "He is in his dotage," and
| Representative Mcmillan, of Tenn, Il
certain y shall not make Mr. Hewitt q
national issue by talking about what
he says. Many of the older mem.
bers recall numerous instances of MIR.
Hewitt's devotion when in the Hou c
to protection and opposition to any
tariff reform that cut into any of the
business that he or his father-in-law-
the late Peter Cooper-had money in
vested in ana smile at his attack on
democratic congress men of the present
day. When a member of Congress Mr..
Hewitt enjoyed the reputation of being
a common scold.

Campaign, has named the following
