.Tuly 2. The house resumed
consideration of the federal election bill , the
pending question being on the amendment
% fTcred by Mr , Tucker of Virginia requiring
the judge of the circuit court , aswclntod with
the district Jtuluc , to pass upoa the applica
tions for supervisors of election.
Air. Frank of Missouri snid ho was In favor
of the bill so far ns Hi scope was to extend
tuooporallonof the supervisory system. Ho
\vasopposcdtoltso fur as it proposed toob-
tal n feucral control of elections' , But ho was
opposed to the amendment because It sought
to wcaltcii a law already on the statute
books.
ISIr. Doutello of Malno snld the naked ques
tion presented win whether those people who
were by the constitution and laws entitled to
thorlght of suitrngo should bo protected in
the exercise of that right.
ISlr. Tucker's amondiucnt was rejected.
Wr. Kowell offered nn amendment making
, thoilutvof the circuit judges of each circuit
within ono month after the passage of' the
net to open a special term of the circuit court
niid snld judges shall appoint foreach Judicial
district threodiscreet persons of good char
acter and standing who shull bo Itnowii HF
United States Juror commissioners. It shall
be the duty of such commissioners toorgimlzo
as a board and from tlmo to time make from
qualified voters a list of persons who under
tholnwsof the United Slates and the state
shall becllglhlo for Jury duty without respect
to race or color. Ilorcnftcr nllmincls forjur-
ors shall bo drawn by the board In the pres
ence of a dlMriet circuit Judge.
Mr. Sprlngor opposed tlio amendment , de
claring-that Its purpose was to pack the
Juries of the country with republican parti
sans.
Jlr. Taylor of Tennessee made a vigorous
speech , In which ho snld the duty of the
hour was for representative ! ) to iiivoko by
law the strong right arm of federal power
and wield it until every man in every city ,
town , hamlet and precinct In every state
north , south , east nnd west should bo pro
tected to the fullest extent in the enjoyment
of all tlio privileges , Immunities and fran
chises by the constitution guaranteed 10
every citizen. [ Kepiibllcnn applause. ]
Jlr. liowcll's amendment was agreed to
J-I ll to Hi. :
v\ \ good dcnl of confusion followed this an-
iiouncenioiit , nniiu wmcii several uom-
oorats were heard demanding the
yeas and nays. The demand , how
ever , was not heard by the speaker.
"When Mr. Outhwnite called attention to
this demand the speaker expressed the opin
ion that it came too late , ISIr. Outhwalto
himself requested that all favoring tbo de
mand rlso ftnd the entire- democratic sldo
arose , hut the speaker entirely Ignored it ,
Ho stated , however , that If there was 110 ob
jection the yeas and nays might bo ordered ,
There being no objection , the speaker directed
thu clerk to call the roll amid u volley of pro-
/'tests from the democrats : it being grunted as
a favor what they demanded as a right. Mr ,

ICO ; niiys , 144.
Mr. Iloniphlll offered nn amendment to
section 82 , tbo purpose of which amend
ment was , ho said , to eliminate
the proviso which empowered supervisors to
use thonrniy and navy.
Mr. McKlnloy said the amendment would
take from the president all the power ho had
tocnforco judicial processes. The bill would
be destroyed if the government wns depiivcd
oftho right to use the federal power tooxo-
ctito luilleinl processes under the proposed
measure. This was n bill looking to an hon
est representation on the lloorof the Ameri
can congress and honest votes and afair count
in every part and section of the American
republic. [ Itepubllcan iiiphui30. | ] That was
nil there was of the bill , No honest man
could object to it , It was said the bill would
bo expensive ; would cost millions ; that It as
sumed that the : BO districts of
tlio country would Invoke the oper
ation of the law and there wns
not a man who did not know that not 100 dis
tricts would Invoke Its operation. They could
diminish the cost of the administration of the
h-JW in the ratio in which they diminished
fraudulent voting , fidso counting , ballot box
BtillHng and suppression of votes. [ Republi
can applause. ] It would cost nothing if there
was no need of It. U'lds question would not
rest until Justice was dono. It was tbo supreme
promo duty of the nntloii to enforce the con
stltutlon and laws oftho United States. Let
the gentlemen on the other sldo obey them as
tlio republicans obeyed them , for ho told them
that tbo people of the north would not permit ,
t\vo votes In the south to count ns much as
ilvu votes In the north , [ Itepubllcan np-
planso. ]
McTSllllnnof Tennessee said the repub
licans might , lilio madmen , irrasp the pillars
of the constitution und pull duvii Iho edlllco ;
but , like Samson , they would perhh In the
wreck. If he could register a wish In heaven
lie would usk not for thoextenslonof bound-
ailes or tbo multiplication of territory , mil
for flowing rivers and fertile Holds , butthnl
the man who laid violent hands upon the con
stitution inlirht ( Iron dead , as did the sacri
legious Jew who laid impious hnnds upon the
aik of the covenant , [ Democraticapplause. ]
Messrs. 1'erklns of Kansas and La L ollottt

the bill ,

AVASIIISOTON- , July 2. In the house today
Mr. Plumb , from the commltl o on publlo
ands , reported the senate bill to provide for
the delivery of land patents to their rightful
owners nnd asked for Its linmodlato consider-
itlon. Aftcrsotno discussion the bill passed ,
It directs the secretary of the interior to
send to the recorder of d'.t'ils In each city In
which lands so patented llo list ? of land
patents In that county that have been In the
general land ofllco uncalled for for Itvolvo
months ,
Mr. IIIscoolc called up Ids motion to rcr-on-
sliler the vote by which the senate yesterday
refused to recodofroni its amendments to tbo
legislative appropriation bill , The nntion
was agreed to and after dcbato the senate re
ceded from Its amendments. The bill notv
goes to the president.
The ssiiato proceeded to consideration of
the two senate bills reported from the com
mittee on com merco to place the American
merchant marine encaged in foreign trade
upon mi equality with that of other nations
and to provide for an ocean mall service be
tween Iho United Suites and foreign ports
and to promote commerce ,
Mr. Fryo said the llrst hill was n bounty on
tonnage , and tlio second was known as a
postal subsidy bill , lie declared thatunlm
congress did something tonld Amcriennshtps ,
and that speedily , there would soon not bo a
single steamship line traversing the ocean
carryUK ! the American lliiR--not ono. Ho was
not milng to discuss Iho tnrllt in connection
with the bilh. There ( referring to the Amer
ican carrying trade ) was a dead body. Ho
wanted to know whether It was worth whllo
to resurrect It and bring-llfo into if. He could
not understand the innermost thoughts and
feclingi of the American citi/.cn who
could listen to n statement of fails
about the forel"'i carrying trade ami
not feel an Impulse to go back once more on
tlio ocean , when ) the UnitedSUUcs stood In
such a prowl , conspicaousness position thirty
years njjo. The American carrying trade was
dead for want of protection. It vas the only-
great American Industry of which the sumo
could bo said. The people of the United
States had paid S3),000,000 ) , a year to keep
alive the sugar growing industry of the
United States. Six millions a year would re
vive the dead body of the American merchant
marine und keep it on the oeem.
Mr. Vest addressed the , senate in opposition
to the subsidy bills.rJ'ho forei ; , ' ! ! carrying
power w..s languishing and almost dead.
But so * was the cattle trade , and yet
if ho vero to propose a subsidy
for the cattle trade the proposition would bo
attached as the most monstrous ever hoard.
Ho went on to spealt of the I'nn-Aincrican
congress as "a cncsinui , "iiuacii nuinoer.-
It was half made up when the Harrison ad
ministration came Into existence mid the rest
less and ambitious spirit of the present secre
tary of state scl/edupon It and concluded to
parade It before the country us a great ami
phuuoDiennl diplomatic victory. Thu
leaders of the republican party Irul
alwilys advocated the necessity of doing
away with foreign commerce , But a sudden
and marvelous change had come. The sena
tor from rdaltio wanted to give vessels In tuo
foreign trade a subsidy so as to bring about
increased trade not only with the South
.American states , hut also with iSuropcnn
countries and the world nt large. The clTeut ,
Wr-A'cst said , of subsidising pny particular
"Itnowas Ifldiscoimip ) "ill"6thors. Mr. Vest
yielded the floor without concluding his
speech , and Mr. Fryosntd ho hoped to have
tin senate act tomorrow on both Dills , us ho
intended to call up the. river and harbor hill
JMonday.
After executive session the senate ad
journed.

In the senate this afternoon Sonutorl'lumb
reported from the cominltteo on public Innds
the 1)111 ) Mulch has been under discussion for
sometime , providing for the delivery of land
patents to their rightful owners , and nsltod
linmcdlatocoiislderatioii , In explaining the
bill tothosomto Senator Plumb said that It
was made necessary bythefaut that the net-
Ing coimnl'sionor of tlio land oflloo , together
with Assistant Secretary Uushey , had given
over some time ago to st certain Jlriu of land
lawyers * the right to lalco from the depart
ment's ' list a transcript of all the iinmcs of
homcstenJcrs who \voro \ entitled to patents
nnd who had not received them under this
authority , Thli conccrn proceeded to hlecd the
patentees on tlieso lands to the extent offio
for each patent.
Senator PadJoclf spoke on the subject and
said that ho wanted it distinctly understood
that this action -was not the action of Coni-
misbloner Groff , but was done by Aetlng
Commissioner Stone IM fora Mr. U roll's ap
pointment , The senator's attention ivus
called directly to th" matter from the fact
that ono of Ids constituents In Js'ebrmka
hud received a circular from this Jinn oiler-
Ing-to secure a patent for $ > . The money
had been forwardcJ , when another letter was
sent asking for another &o , owing to the fact
that "new complications had arisen. "
The senator at once saw the com
missioner ol the land ofllco nnd
found out that the patent was already issued.
Ho called the attention of the commissioner
to the methods employed by thcso attorneys
and Commissioner ( .iron * sothis seal of disap
proval upon tlio action of the linn b.ynt once
.securing the disbarment of the attorneys
from further practice ) before his olllce.
The bill provides thut whenever patents
nro Issued nnd remain for twelve months
without nelaimatit they shall to nt once for-
\varded \ tothcclerlt of the county in which
the homesteader entry is entered In onlur
tluUthevniaybe reconled and the title to the
landInvolvedpropcrlvpassed to the person
who Is entitled to It. The bill went
through the .scnatowUhout trouble and will
doubtless receive like consideration in the
house a * soon as It can bo taken up , There
are said to be thousands ot iiiesouiiciiieiiioir
patents In Illinois , ICiinsus , Wisconsin , Min
nesota and the Datotits , besides several stntos
of the south -\iherehuidotliees have been
closed up and abandoned.

There Is a prospect of a renewal of the old
war between , the kintliuul the steam presses
nt the bureau oC enitwivhiK ami prhitlnir , and
the labor clement of thelJistrictof Colurnhia
is consequently in n stuto of excitement. .
Several jcurs ago Mr. Oruves , the superin
tendent of the bureau of ctiRravIng ami printing
ing- , put In some steam pres'is , ono of which
did as much vorkns ado.c'a men could ; do
with the old-fas hloiicd hand presses that
liavoboculn vogue fo , , a. centiify , hut the
labor unions did not rest until they had them
thrown out.
Now Senator Edmunds has reopened the
ght und has called upon thu secretary
t' the treasury for a statement showing
.10 comparative usefulness and economy
f hand and steam presses. Mr. Winclom
rill undoubtedly report facts that will bo to
ic advantage or the libor-saving machinery

But the labor union is very strong- here nnd
ts power over congress is ntiormotn. Iv'ow
lint the proses bavo been displ.icod It will
