IN the SENATE.
The Federal Election Repeal Sill ths Subject
OF Oebate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l6.-The House bill
to repeal the federal ele ction laws was laid
before the Senate and became ''unfinished
business Palmer tDem.) of Illinois ar
gued in support of the bill. The civil
rights bill, passed in 1865, he regarded as
the embodiment of enlightened convictions
of men of the time and subss quent amend
ments to the constitution were the logic
of war and logic of liberty. Their
purpose was not TO mar, but
radical defect of Republican legislat,cn was
that it was based on an utter want of con-
fidence in the people of the United States.
He declared the purpose OF the election
laws was to give party advantage 10 the
Republicans and perpetuate party power.
He declared il to be his belief that, ii those
laws were repealed, and elections sgain
left to the people, there would be much
less ground for complaint.
The discussion was participated in By
Chandler (Rep.) of New Hampshire, Gray
(Dem.) of Delaware, Hoar (Rep.) of
Massachusetts. Palmer yielded the II DOT
to give Voorhees, (Dem.) of Indiana. an
opportunity to present a letter addressed to
him by the secretary of the treasury, as to
the cOnoltI0n OF the treasury. lie asked
that the bill accompanying the letter be
printed in bill foim; but to this there was
some objection, and the letter and bill mot
formally introduceG) were referred to the
committee on finance.
Discussion on the bill to repeal TIE fed
eral election laws was resumed. Palmer,
in closing his speech, expressed the trust
that the bill would become law: the fed
eral election statutes, with all their signs of
ancient feuds and strifes, be stricken from
the statute books; the people of the coun-
try vill be held responsible for the purity
and fairness Of their elections.
Chandler (Rep.) of New Hampshire
criticised Palmer's argument and said he
was prepared TO defend the essential wis
dom aad integrity of the Republican party
and its patriotism, down to This hour. The
vent over till tomorrow. The Senate ad
journed at 80.

WANT the BONDS.
Numerous Offers 10 Take All 8onds Issued by
Treasury.

WASHINGTON, Jan. lG Fifteen separate
offers, aggregating $40, 900 900, to take the
bonds, should Secretary Carlisle issue
the m, have been received at the treasury
department. No preparations are heiug
made at the treasury department for an i'm
mediate bond issue. Secretary Carlisle
will await reasonable time for Congress to
act, probably till Feb. ! before he proceeds
independently of Congress.
On the presumption now that be has offi-
cially called the attention of Congress to
the urgent needs of the treasury, it will act
promptly. Until Congress shows that it
will not relieve the treasury the secretary
will not feel called upon, on his own re-
tponsibitity, to issue bonds under the re-
sumption act.
