WASIIINOTON- . C. Juno 27. In the house
today Mr. Dockory entered a motion to ro-
< -ou idcr the vote by whlcn thn postnl clerks
LIU passed , leaving It pending for the present.
Consideration of the election bill then ro-
mimcd , Mr. Ilaugcn of Wisconsin addressing
the hOuSe In support of the mca.sure. IIo de
clared it did not propose to touch state elec
tions , but did propose to supervise national
elections u clear right of congiess. The bill
wns not local but general In its application.
Mr. Covert of New York said the bill was
evidence of the dlstrdst felt by republicans
Of n government of nnd for the p-ople. The
Republican party was used to meeting cmer-
rencles. They met them in Indiana when
they sent 1n IJorscy with his money and
Dudley with his floaters nnd blocks of
ilve , and Quay , the nrch-angcl
of the party. The bill was
intended to undo the work of the fathers of
the constitution. This proposition was to
In-ing back the returning boards of Florida
nnd South Carolina the days of the electoral
commission duys'tlmt every patriotic man
would forget if no could. If it were true , as
Intelligent men predicted , that the passage of
this bill would have a tendency to revive race
lircjudlce in the south nnd restore the south
ern states to the condition of reconstruction
imys , If this were true , then it would turn
back the hands upon the dial and retard the
progress of these sections and of the whole
republic.
Mr. Flower of New York denounced the
bill as undemocratic , unropubllcan nnd un-
American , us a measure constructed upon the
idea that tlio small republican majority now
Sn congress could hotter legislate for the peo-
jilo than the people themselves.
Mr. Flower The history of the political
jwrsecutions of some of our federal courts
already lank with the um-criipulous abuse of
Jaw and this bill , if passed , would add many
inoro such chapters. It sought to provoke a
conflict between state and federal olllt-crs and
never before in the history of tlio country
had there been such a Jumblp of local and
federal functions in any law. An attempt to
control officers in the discharge of duties is
dangerous und a threatening incursion into
the domain of local helf-govcrnment. The
republican party had chosen a mint inappro
priate time to enact a law interfering with
local control of elections. The last presi
dential election with the blocks of lire and
its multifarious methods of doubtful pro
priety had aroused the iwojilo to a sense of
the danger that beset thu elective franchise.
Jt is best to leuvo this subject to bo dealt
with bv public conscience in the states.
Mr. Smvser of Ohio said that the cost in
curred by"the measure had been greatly cx-
nggerated. Inspectors would not bp necessary
iu Iho great majority of the districts. The
cry of the south was that it wanted to be left
alone to work Its own destiny. That had
been tried for fifteen yours , and ho protested
nguinst It seeking to work out thcsah ation of
the north on the same lino. What the south
wanted was to bo let alone to appropriate the
negroes' rights and do with the blacic man as
it pleased. IIo protested against that.
Mr. V'lux of Pennsylvania said the bill
virtually overtuined the constitution and de
stroyed onr form of government. This bill
mudo slaves of men to federal onlcers. Our
forefather : } brought on the revolutionary
war and separated from Great Ilritnlu because -
cause they ( lid not believe in taxation with
out representation. Ho warned congress
that the time might como when legislation
depriving tlio people of rt-prcjontution would
drive them to another revolt for the same
principle. [ Loud democratic applause. ]
Mr. ICennoy of Ohio said it was idle to say
that thu majority had ruled in this country ,
and tlmt fact was a splendid illustration of
the patience of the people when it was con
sidered that the ballot box had been trampled
under foot for the purpose of defeating the
majority of tlio people in the exercise of their
right. It was all pretense that drover Cleve
land was subject to the further statement
that at that election n largo number of qual
ified voters who had c.ast their votes against
him wore not permitted to do so. The consti
tution was mandatory in requiring a reduc
tion of representation iu case the states which
permitted the rights of citizens to vote to bo
unlawfully abridged. When the apportion
ment was made under the new census it was
tlio duty of congress to make this reduction
in the case of these southern states if they
persisted in depriving their citiyens of
the rights of suffrage. The ignorant black
'nan was unworthy to exercise the right of
sutTrago. Let him bo stricken from the list
entitled to representation and with him lot
the Ignorant white man bo stricken from the
list also. If Ignorance was the rock of dan
ger to us It was our duty to erect light houses
of popular education.
At this point the conference report on legis
lation on the nppropriutlonblll was presented
nnd a further conference Ordered on some
minor points.
The speaker announced the appointment of
Messrs. Conger , Walker and Rl.md conferees
on the silver bill. Orders were entered setting
ting apart Saturday and Monday nights for
debate on the election bill.

WASHINGTON , Juno 27. In the senate

Nnw YOIIK , Juno 27. [ Special Telegram to
Tnr. Bir. : . ] U. O. Dun ft Co.'s Weekly Uo-
viewot Trade s.iys : While the voluino of
trade , as Indicated by special reports by bank
exchanges nt Interior cities and by railroad
turning * , continue * larger than In the same
month of any previous year , the prospect for
tlio future Is rondcrud loss satisfactory by in
dustrial hesitation , and by doubt in regard to
the monetary outlook. The Industrial hesita
tion results from the delay of legislation and
increased uncertainty regarding the outcome.
Wool is distinctly weaker In the Interior and
nt eastern markets , and n disposition Is shown
to meet the needs of manufacturers. Tills
uncertainty also affects estimates of the fu
ture demand for Iron , and so the continued
addition of now furnaces weakens that market.
Large transactions in structural iron and
rails have Ixjcu closed , but without strength
ening-prices , Cotton has declined Jf cent.
Wheat has fallen 1's ' ccuts , with hotter news
from the northwest , ojts % cent nnd lard and
hogs nr1 a shade weaker. Coffee Is steady ,
but oil has declined - ' \ \ cents. Haw supir Is
l-lli cent and crushed 3 $ cent lower and
further concessions on refined are expected.
The general level of prices Is lower , in
part because of n reaction from -the many
speculations which the prospect of unlimited
coinage engendered.
Business at other cities is well maintained
for the season , and the exceedingly confi
dent tone hitherto pi-ovaTUng docs not nt
all abate. If there are possibilities of disap
pointment thov do not seem to be realized us
yot. Boston notes n good deinahd and higher
prices for cotton nnd leather goods , a demand
for lumber and largo receipts for wool , which
tend to weaken tlio market at Philadelphia.
Coal is dull. Chicago continues confident of
u largo nnd profitable fall trade , and the sta
tistics of the board of Undo show an increase
over last year iu the grain business nnd in
seeds and a slight decrease in meats , but n
, gain of nearly 100 per cent In dressed beef ,
an increase in lard and n largo decrease In
butter.
The dry goods business exceeds last year's ,
and the prospects of the clothing trade for the
fall arc thoftght quite fluttering. St. Louis
reports trade in all lines nbovo tlio average.
Milwaukee notes excellent crop prospects
and a good business. St. Paul finds the situ
ation very encouraging and trade at Omaha
aud Denver is good. At Detroit business is
quiet , wool moving slowly because farmers
hold .for higher prices. An average business
is reported at Kansas City and no change at
Pittsburg , except that while iron mills are
fairly employed rails nro fl lower , aud glass
works arc closiug for the season.
In all the reports , either from the north or
south , there is a noteworthy absence
of complaint about collections , and
the money markets are fully
supplied , but the demand is quite active ut
St. Louis and Cleveland and pushes close
upon the supply nt Milwaukee , while it is
weak at Kansas City.
The money market is firmer at Boston nnd
Pittiburg.but plentifully supplied at Chicago
and easy at Philadelphia , and the coming
July disbursements nro expected to cause
greater ease everywhere.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days num
ber " 01 as compared with 199 last week. For
the corresponding week of 1839 the figures
were 213.

Text of the House Substitute for the
Senatu Measure.
W.sniNOTOJuno 27. Representative
Reed of Iowa lias prepared on behalf of the
judiciary committee the report on the bill
agreed on by tlie committee as a substitute
for the senate original package bill. It firat
points out the differences between the bills ,
the scnuto bill being applicable to n single
subject of commerce , intoxicating liquors ,
and the house bill being applicable to all arti
cles of commerce , Tlio report says that In the
opinion of the cpmmitteo all property which
has been imported into a state and kept for
sale there ought to bo subject for all pur
poses to the Jurisdiction of the state , and all
persons who pnffago in the traffic within the
state ought to bo subject to the rules which it
may enact for tlio regulation of that traffic.
The states are Iho proper judges of the needs
of their own cltWfts , and they ought to be free
to enact and cL'forcd'such laws as they may
deem best adapted to their situation and best
evolution.'H the prosperity and hap-
pmessof their people , and when a non-resident
imports his wares into a state and then en
gages in the traflio therein It is but just that
ho should be subject to the same restrictions
that govern the citizens of the state who
would engage in a like traffic , and this would
bo the effect of the bill if amended as rec
ommended by the committee. It would in no
manner interfere with the right of n citi/en
of the state to purchase abroad any nrtk-lo of
commerce which ho might desire for his own
use and hnvo the same transported aud de
livered to him nt his phico of residence. The
state would have no pownto prevent the
importation of any article of commerce nor
to obstruct commerce through their terri
tories except in the necessary enforcement
of their health laws. Its only effect would
bo to subject such property as may bo im
ported into a state and there held
or offered for sale contrary to the
laws of the state. The power of
congress to enact a law of this character
can hardly bo doubted , in the Judgment of
the committee. The report concludes that
It would bo much wiser to enact a general
law applicable to all articles of commerce
than to meet cii'oxlgcney with reference to
particular articles , as it may scorn to arise ,
as would bo tlio policy of tlio senate bill
should it bo enacted.

Northern Democratic Congressmen
Prepare rt Formal Protest.
W.VSIIINHTO.V , Juno 27. Northern demo
cratic members of the lower house have pre
pared a formal protest against tlio national
election bill , which Is termed the "Extraor
dinary , dangerous and revolutionary measure
now proposed by the leaders of the party In
. " The "If the
power. protest says : power
claimed by the majority resides in the consti
tution , which wo deny , the republic has gone
through the difficulties of a formative period ,
made n heroic struggle against dissolution ,
triumphed and successfully readjusted Itself
to the changed condition without the overelso
of such power by the federal government for
100 years nnd over. The bill is purely a
partisan measure , intended primarily to con
trol elections for congress nnd presidential
electors in all the states and Intimidate ,
hound , obstruct nnd harass by political per
secutions In unfriendly hands adverse mu <
joritles In cities of the north. To cany oil
this scheme of imporfoet govcrnmcntmilllons
of dollar * will bo taxed from our people and
the judiciary of the UnltedStatcsprostituted
to the basest pill ti nnshlpin the management
of elections. ATuTlheso invasions of the lib
erties of our peopTo will bo loft for safety to
partisan juriesIn federal courts , composed
entirely of mr > ilof the party in power. " The
protest nppcnls.Jo A.inorli'un freumon without
regard to power to enter n timely protest by
way of n publlo meeting or otherwise against
tills consolidation of the government , the de
struction of popuiiu' rights nnd the very foun
dation of American liberty , us this vicious
and unpatriolloVimjusuro Is the most serious
menace to the W-TV life of the republic. The
issue is , Dhall n.j > ] mtleal party elect itself and
keep In power lw paid agents who are to con

"Verdlet AVI1I Bo All
A startlingscnsatlon was sprung yesterday
afternoon in the district court cuso of Olson
ngulnstUioOuiulia packing company for 1,500
damages , un trial before Judge Clurkson.
Ralph W. Bivekcnrldgo of counsel for do-
foiulunt , addressing tlio court , said In sub
stance tluit Juror James Duffy No. 2" hud
visltod his ofllco and lutlinntod tlmt ho
would throw tbo cuso for his
( Breckonrldgo's ) sldo If n consldorutlon
was forthcoming. Tlio same Juror , ho said ,
lirul also similarly approached n friend of the
defendant wllh the same offer.
Air. Breckenridgo added that ho hoped that ,
ho would iiot bo forced by tlio court to ill-
vulgo tno man's niiuio and so disgrace him
forever , but that the whole jury ought to bo
excused.
Attorney Morenrty , for tlio plaintiff , do-
nuiuded the man's iiuinc , and the court seconded -
ended the demand.
Mr. Brcokenrldtjo , sr. , then sprang to his
feet and shaking his finger vehemently at
Juror Duffy , exclaimed :
"Tuat's the man I know not his namol
But I do know that ho e.uno to our olHce this
iioon and did Just us my son has sold 1"
Duffy turned pale ns death nnd attempted
to speak , but the judge commanded him to sit
down. Ho again attempted to reply , stating
tlmt ho had not gouo to Brcckonridgo's ofllco
with evil Intent , and the court told him that
if ho spoke again ho would bo lined.
Mr. C. F. Brockenridgo said that Duffy
had been to his ofllco twice that day , aud ho
knew that he had no business there.
The court then asked JJulTy If he had vis
ited Mr. Breekenridge'H oIUcc , and the Juror
exclaimed thnt ho went only to the door , that
ho did not go inside , nnd that ho went there
merely to see the New York Life buildIng -
Ing , which ho had never seen before.
Bieckonriclgo was the only man UUTO whom
ho knew , and ho thought lie would call upon
him. IIo claimed thnt ho p.issed no remark
to any one who was there , and that ho had
iiavor asked them for money , and that ho
didn't think there was any harm hi going
there. Ho tlieu admitted that ho had had a
talk with Mr. Brcckenridge.
The court asked him if lie had not heard
him [ the Judge ] enjoin the Jurors from talk
ing about the case.
Duffy admitted that bo had , but that.nil
ho hod said to Breekonrulgo was an inquiry
us to whether the Judge would decide the
case'orlct it go to the jury , or words to
that effect. And then lie claimed ho had for
gotten what ho did say ,
The court said he was grieved more by the
case than he had been by anything that had
happened in the court.
Duffy .said it was the first time ho had been
accused of anything , and tlmt they had made
it worse than it really was , and that ho had
not called for the purpose of seeking monev.
The Judge said that it jurors wore to talk
to outsiders about the cases they were sitting
on all the trials in the court might as well ho
stopped. It was the first time the thing had
happened in his court , and hp would order
the withdrawal of the juror and continue the
case till the next term.
Hfr. Rreckeni-ldg ( > 's Statement.
Mr. H. W. Breckcnrldgo was asked yester
day to state just what had passed between
Juror James DufTy and himself regarding the
case of Olsen against the packing company ,
lie said :
"This man Duffy came to our ofllco three or
four times during my absence. I saw him
afterwards at the court house , and lie said ho
wanted to see mo at noon , so I told him to
como to our oflico in the New York Life
building. At noon ho came into the ofllco and
In the presence of my partners , C. F. Brecken-
ridge and L. F. Crofoot , said ho wanted to
see me alone.
"I took him into the ne\troom , and the first
thing ho said was , 'I wonder what the judge
is going to do with that case. ' I told him the
question of iiogliirenco on the putt of the do-
lendant would go to the jury ,
"Ifo then asked mo wh.it 1 thought of the
jury. I said , 'That's n good jury.1
"Duffj then said , 'If that case goes to the
jury you ought to have a good friend on the
jury. ' Ho thmi suid ho was losing money by
being on the Jury.
"I then told him that i wanted him to do
what ho thought was right , and all I could
say was to follow the instructions of the
court and decide the case according to the
evidence.
"Duffy then said that if I would do some
thing for him ho would see that the verdict
was nil right.
'tf merely told him to do what ho thought
was right and ho loft the ofllce.
"It was then n few minutes DuforoS o'clock ,
nnd I consulted with my partners and wo con
cluded that the only proporniid honest coursO
to pursue was to bring tlio m.ittor to the at
tention of the court and the opposing counsel ,
which was done when court opened.
"Judge Clurkson said It was the first time
such a case had come before him as u judge ,
and lie consulted with .ludgo Douno as to the
best course to pursue. They concluded that
the host thing to do was to withdraw the
Jui or and continue the c.ise , and that was
done. "
. A great many comments wcro heard about
the court house yesterday on this matter. It
was the general opinion that the course pur
sued by the attorneys for the plalntltl was a
thoroughly honest and upright one , and re
flected giv.it credit on the firm , as the case
was one for personal damages brought by a
poor man against a wealthy corporation.
.lames DulTy , the juror who has attained
notoriety , lives at the corner of Fourteenth
nnd 1'Icrco.
Mr. O. F Breckcnrldgo was highly Incensed
