Cy March 23,—Thero has heen much «discussion to-day among Congress- men of the plan agreed upon by the Jolnt Demo- cratic Caucus Committee, with respect to a.re- peal of the Federal Supervisor and Election: Jaws, The cxtréwe men of the Democracy gen- orally insist thut the scheme partakes too much of the nature of a compromise to sult them, and that they will not agree to it, or to anything ex- cept to an entira repeal of every vestige of the Jaws authorizing therappolntment of Supervis- ors, even {f ihe laws should be so changed as to leave those Supervisors only as important wit- nesses of elections. ‘THIS CLASS INSIST; . first, that such an enactment would be an os- sumption of arbitrary power; second, that such Supervisors, although nominally sppointed froin both partics, would really represent only the party In possession of the Federal Govern- ment, for the reason that positive, aggressive partisons would be chosen to represent the Federal alde, and weak, tinid, or corrupt men to represent the other side; third, that the ob- Ject of such Supervisors can only be to accom- plish by indirect means what has been probibit- ed by the posse-comitatus clause, and to in- euro Republican success in 1880; fourth, that the Supervisor system cannot fail to create an antagonism between the State and the General Government, aud that such ollicers will always bo used by the party fu power for its own ad- yantage. $ ‘THESE ANE AMONG THE REASONS assigned for thelr opposition to any compro- miso by these Radical. Democrats, who aro de- termed that the entire system shall be repealed at all hazards, and who think chough to cive a reason, On the other hand, a few Democrate, such as Springer, think thatthe proposition ia really in the nature of o compromise, and should bo adopted, and that the Supervisors, al- though nominally left inthe law, but really shorn of all functions which they now have, witl bo powerless to work any harm to the Demo- crutic party. But both wings of the Democrats insist that the Executive Department must be compelled, through threats of withholding aup- plies, to bend to their will, There ts no heslta- tlon on the part of the majority at thls attempt to revolutionize our syatem of Government, to yvlolate the rights of the minority, and to estab- Meh a legislative despotism. A sToRY has gained wide circulation to-day to the offect that Senator Bayard and Representative Spring- er, through Secretary Evarts, have been able to ascertain what {ind of a modified Election bitt the Prealdent would sign, and that the caucus Dill, in its tual shape, will closely conform to the President's views. This story is believed hy several prominent Republicans, who hayo talked with the President upon the general sub- *Ject Involved, to be utterly absurd. ‘There fs no doubt but that he has expressed himeclf in the strongest posible terms in relation to presery- ing all legal guards to the purity ‘of ctec- tion, It fe also truce that those who have heard his views regard the so-called compromiaa of yesterday's Democratle caucts aga mere pretense of anoffer to the Republic- ans, and ag one that the President will never think of aligning, elthem as a scparate messure oras the price of an Appropriation bill, Tho story, 80 PAT AS IT INVOLVES EVARTS, ta also Lelleved to bu without foundation, al- though curlous political ideas from Eyarts do notasageneral thing create surprise; but, in this cage, it is well understood, and by no ono better thun Sceretary Jyarts, that the proposition to repeal the Federal Etee- tion laws had its orlgin in the Democratic necessity of carrying New York State tn order to make the election of a Democratic Preatdeut 1.1880 a possibility, ‘The feeling among the President's nearest Republican friends ts of value os showing thelr absolute conildence In Ia refualug to yield a singlo vital feature of the Supervisor und Marshal law, Several of them to-night, in ridiculluy the story above, declared that, Wf ft wero true, and the President should finally ugree to such a compromise, he would losu overy Republican friend be now bas, wut would heroalter be regarded by them with moro disfavor than liad ever been manitceted toward Andrew Jolinsun.

March 20.—Secretary Sherman to-day issued a notice ‘to the effect that the Treasury will redeem, wpun presenta- tion, the 6-20 bonds called fa Jennary Inst, ant which mature upon various dates bebween April Land It next. The amount of called vonds which it is proposed thus to pay upon presenta- tion is $40,000,000. ‘The Secretary has detér- mined to anticipate this £50,000 000, for the rea- son thathe desires to do all that is possl- bio to caso the moncy-morket, and at the game time to show the public thatthe Govern: ment 1s abundantly prepared to redeem all the called bonds tint can be presented next month without causing serious disturbance in the money market, ‘The Secretary to-night in- turmed the Zines? correspondent that he was prepared to redeem im fawlul* funds the $50,- broker Included in the tlye edlls which will ma- ture from April L to 11. He does not anticipate, however, that nora thun $10,000,000 in money will be required to redeem - the $50,000,000 of cuted bonds, ns about $40,000,000 will. be pre~ acnted by the banks {p payment for the 4-per- vent Londs subscribed by Uiem. ‘The clreular isaued to the banks by the Secre- tary about ten dass ago, in relation to paying the subscriptions to the 4-pereent hens, seems tu have been misunderstood, snd, sccording to reports received here from’ New York, has piven rise to rumors that -the Secretary hod calted upon the banks to pay & per cent of the entire amount of thelr subscriptions to the 4-per-cent bouds. There fs no foundation whatever for auch rumors. ‘Lhe purpose of the tlrst. circular upon this subject was to assist the banks to meet their payments without scriously Usturbing the money-marke’; aud the ctrcular of to-day, offering to anticipate the redemption of $10,000,000: fin maturing shi bonds ts 1n- ni tended to’ give assurance tolthe public that the Government is determiacd}to transact its re- funding operations in a way Which witl not ser!- ously disturb the bustuess of the country.

This additional deposit of 5 per cent is doubtless whatcauzed the rumor in New York that the Secretary’ had called up a margin ou the subscriptions to the 4 per cent honds to thutamount, Luclnding the $30,000,- 000 Which the Seeretary propuses to nnttcipute, the amount of called bonds which will mature durityy the month of April Is $156,000,000, or on average of $6,000, daily for the twenty-six business days of that month, ‘That is a large business to tranaact in ong. month,” said the Seeretury ta the Zres’ correspondent, * but £ expect to accomplish it by a eyatem of exchange of credits, co that the buainess-community shall experience no ipconyenience: The $50,000,000 which J have to-day offered to pay uvon prese tation can bepafd from money now in the Treas- ‘ury held for tht specific purpose, without call+ ing upon the banks for ove dollar.?

Weaver, Gnited States Consul at Aubicer hy calltiug attention to the serious and growin diasatisfaction now felt in Europe with reaard tu the quality of redned petroloum tmported of late from this country, and expressing feavs that, unless some satisfac: tory oxplanation thereof he given, the Govern- ment of Belgium will be called upon to restrict tho importation of refined oil by the iinposition ot a heavy duty, or prabibit it altozether, unless iteomceaup to a high tixed stundard. Either of these regulations would be disastrous tothe American petroleum trade. An expert, sent to Europe by one of the Inrrest of.he American ofl-refining companics to investigate the complaints, says that the trounle jloes not arise from tmperfect refinement of the oil, but from the fact tint the oll now obtained, par- tleulacly tu the Uradfard district, dtflers ma- terinlly in ts characteristles from thust hereto- fore exported, eapectally in specifle gravity, and requites different wieka and burners.
