C., April 12.—Qne of the sharpest criticisms of Randall’s Committees is the fact that MeMahow, of Ohio, who was a member of the Judiciary Committee in the last Congress, and led the opposition to the insur- ance companies in their claim upon the Geneva award, bas been removed from that Committee tomake place for Frank Hurd, of Ohio, who was the paid attorney of the insurance com- panies last year, he not then being a member of Congress. This subject is certain to come be- fore the Judiciary Committee in this Congress, and it is urged that Hurd can scarcely act judicially in a case where he has been retainea as counsel. Hurd was a Randall man in the Speakership campaign, and McMahon a strong Blackburn man, THE ELECTIONS COMMITTEE. The smallness ef the Democratic majority ia the House and the urgent necessity for incras- ing is is a fact which seems to be fully appre- ciated by Mr. Springer’s Committee on Elec- tions. A meeting has been called for early next. week, and the work of throwing out Republic- ans and Greenbackers will begin without un- necessary delay. Mr. Springer is already on the war-path, and was in consultation to-day with the counsel for ex-Gov. Andrew G. Olurtin, of Pennsylvania, who contests the seat occupied by Yocum, the Greenbacker. This will be the first case taken up, and the chances are that Gor. Curtin will be seated, possibly within the next fortnight. There are nive other contested elec- tion cases to be disposed of, ‘and it. is the intention of Mr. Springer that the complaint of delay neretofore charged against previous Committces will not apply tobim. He imtends to appoint sab-com- mittees, so that the taking of testimony will be proceeded with speedily, and it will be no fault et bis if four or five Democrats are not given seats before the extra session adjourns. S.M. Etter, of Iinois, known somewhat in’ Iinois politics, is a candidate for the Clerkship of Springer’s Committee. REPUBLICAN CAUCUS. TALKING MATTERS OVER. Speciat Disvatch to The Trituns. Wasmrneton, D. C., April 12—The Reoud- lican Senators had a caucus to-day which lasted two hours. After a thorough discussion of the situation, during which nearly every Senator participated in the debate, the conclusion was reached that the Sen- ators would unitedly urge an sgeressive warfare against the political amendments to the Appropriation bill in the Hne marked out by Seeretary Robeson in his speech. The caucus unanimoosly agreed to disregard the position assumed by Gen. Garfield that the legislation could be accepted if presented as a separate measure. They held, on ‘the contrary, that if the legislation on its merits could be acceptable it would not be revolutionary to pass iton an Appropriation bill. They decided rather that the proper constitutional ground to maintain was that outlined by Secretary Robeson,—that to repeal that section of the Unitea States law. BINDS THE HANDS OF THE PRESIDENT of the United States, cripples the civil power, and prevents the Executive, or the Courts, or the Marshels, or any civ! posse, or any body of armed men in.the execution of justice, to appear at the polls. ‘This, the Republieans will main- tain, isa violation of the Constitution, and of the fundamental principles of civil Nberty, and cannot be tolerated. As an abstract pronosi-~ tion they would not arprore the political amendments in a separate bill, mach less when they consent to their adoption as emendmenta to the appropriation bills. Every Senator is to be left free to follow DIS OWN INDIVIDUAL PLAN OF ATTACK within this limit. It is the intention of the Re~ publican Senators to present a united front, so that if there is any tendency to irresolution on the part of the Executive or any of his Cabinet counselors, the Republican party in Congress is a unit. It is certain that there were some feara ex- pressed in the caucus that the President might approve the Army bill, and that Secretariea Schurz and Evarts and Attorney-General Dey- ens might counsel such course, but the general opinion was that the President would stand firm. At all events, whatever the President might do, the Republican Senators determined for their part to resist to the very fast extrem- ity the passage of this political legislation, This augurs a protracted discussion und a long sea- sion. ‘The colored exodus was also considered. THE Caucus. To the Western associated Press. WasHincton, April 12—~At a well-attended caucus of the Republican Senators this after- noon there was an interchange of views con- cerning the course to be pursued by the minority of the Senate in regard to the Army Approoria- tion bill. No format action was taken, but it was agreed thatevery possible effort should be made to defeat the passage of the bill in its present shape, for the reason mainly that the enactinent of the sixth section would prevent the use of the posse comitatus on election days for the execution of civil processes of any and. ity. descriptions issued by Unitea States author- . ' Arico OTHER PROVISIONS of the bill were also considered ver able, and in need of een ree: among them the clauses which probibit appoint ments and promotions in the army until other- wise provided by law, while at the same time the bill holds out inducements for the creation of additional vacancies by providing that all officers hereafter retired by Teeson of wounds tively zethed upon the: highest ranks respect- em in the re; terri before rerement gular or yolunteer wumber of Senators expressed beltet, that the purpose of these provisions pad pave $e yay for the appointment into the army of of she dominant party im Congress; , cage 2 RY ae 2 Plssmamaereecng T Anta eerste tne eaoaing?
