sent of Representatives Donuhac McNnlty
Frizznli, Jenkins and Speaker Clark who
succeeded IN defeating the bin when it
was called up last week for tinul passn &c.
Mr.. Donohoo spoke even moro emphnli-
cally against the adoption Of the measure
this morning, declaring that it was Il SINH
lar measure to tho McCarrcll bill which
passed he Pennsylvania State Sonata yes-
terday, in order to save q United States
Scnh or and that 1T was a scheme to make

the ilea OF the bill taking the court ont of
poll les, aud declared that the act rather
plunged the judiciary into pol;ticnl posi-
tion the result Of which will revert To th,
disadvantages Of the party ia herring tho
measure. R,pre scr tntvs Donohoe pre-
dsc'ed that Mt tho next session the Demo-
crat' would remodel the measure.

cd the people of their rights and placod
them in the hands ofa few lawyers who
snow no moro adaptation in ma tsrs bo-
yohd their study, thnn the average work.

cal 'ssues OF the ill, Mr. McNulty said the

That an amendment doing away with tho
practice of drswing of special iur;es.
which wore drawn solely for tho purposs
OF renching disagreement would give the
