The bill moking au appropriation to m)& the clalms allowed by the Houthern Cluims Com- misslon was discisscd until the exoiratlon of tho morning bour, when it was laid sside with- out action, and consideration was rcsumed of the Deficiency Appropriation bill. A loug dis- cusslun cnsued upon the ameodment appro- pristing $250,000 to_sunply the deficicnciea of the Department of Justicefor the payment of Deputy Marshals, Mr. ficck said this approprintion was to pay men lllegally n!ppointcu to conduct elections .for the worst of party purposss. Mr. Allison jsent to the Clerk’s desk aud hiad read a Jetter from the Attorney-General to the offect that the deficlency in "his Department would hava been but $50,000 but for twa clauscs in the Electlon law, under which $75,000 was re- quired for Deputy Marshals to uttend clectlons, and $125,000 for the prosccution of persons charged with crime. A great part of the ex- pense under the latter clause was fncurred in the Btates of Louislang, Alabamn, sud South Caroling. Mr. Thurman asked wkot now circumstanco had orisen that tbe Department of Justice had cxpended a guarter of o million of the people’s tnoney without authority of law, The Depart- ment which should, above all others, ohey the Inw, disoboyed it. ‘This money was to pay a sét ol men employed ostenslbly to prove the purity of clections, but really in corrupthig elections.

It had been heralded that the money was needed to protect 1he puornegro of the South, but it had been spent fu New York und clsewhere.

Tn view of the relzn of terror Instituted tn:New York by Daveoport, there was mno dififcuity In showing with this mact inery how the elcctions were carried. Over 1,200 chm_y Marshuls were appolnted m the duy of 8t Louis alone, und the Democratic majority in three districts wos overcome by this means, The mouey of the people was being ex- pended by hundreds of thousands of dollars to corrupt voters. Come what might, he hoped the sections under which theso Deputy Marshals were appointed would bo stricken from the statute-books. Heg, for one, was willing to stay here until this't{me next year torepeal these sections, Mr. Alifson nrgned that the Attorney-General hod merely discharzed bis duty under the law, He was prosccutiuy frauds, nnd all be usked , was the money to ald hiin 10 dofng so.
