THE ARMY BILL. BNATOR DAVIS! SPECK. Spectat Dtepatch to The Trioune Wasminotoy, D. C., April 22.—The days of debate are slowly wearlng away in the Scuate, and ft {s now thought possible that a vote upon the Army bill may be taken Thursday. Should tls bo done, the Arniy bill will reach tha Pres- ident oue day before the Legislative bill paswes the fTouse. Senator David Davis, of Iilinots, cometimes put down in the classification of Senators os Globular Independent, mado the specch which {twos anuounced was tocontain the basis of compromise, The compromise wasa surrender, Judge Davis voted as he alts, on the Democrat- te alde, and voted as he nearly always has yoted sinco he came to the Senate asa nominal fnde- pendant, with the most pronouuced radical, ro- actionary of the Bourbons, ‘The argument !s called a speech. 1t was rather A SUDICIAL OPINION, . and read Ike an opinion from the Supreme Vourt. Judge Daria rogetted ‘partisanship; thought the tall of revolution was mischleyous elnp-trap, and he snid wisely that the effect may be to unsettle the business interests of the country, und that while such a course may suc- ceed in winnlog elections, it never will bring material prosperity In Its train. He deprecated Aiscussion, spoke kindly of the Union, and then proceeded to argue in favor of the repeal of the Elect{on Jaws in the old-fashioned Bourbon way. ‘The passage in his speech respecting the {Interference of military at the polls read LIKE A PAGE PHOM MACAULAY, and would do well in a letter of acceptance from a Democratic or Labor-Reform Presi- dentlal candidate, ‘The Republicans from Wu. nofa and elsewhere would have been contented that Judge Davis should cast his lot with tho enemics of. hls country and the enemies of Mr, Lincoln, but they do much protest to-night that, as the old Hfetime friend of Abrabam Lincoln, he should hava snid froin his scat in the Senate that ho believed that Sfr. Lincoln, were he alive, vould not object to the reveal of theso Jaws, . Members ofthe, II}uolg delegation who knew Mr. Lincoln -woll,-and., were perhaps na near to him as Judge Davis ot times, say that Democratic assoviations have BLINDED TIM EYES OF THM NEW SUNATON, and that Abraham Lincoln would no morg have approved the Bourbon poticy at thie time than he would havo permitted himself to bold ascot in the United States Senate through Dotmocratic votes, At the close of his specch, Judge Davis wos congratulated by the old Bourbon leaders, In the course of a colloquy subsequently between Seuator Logan and Judge Davis, the Iattor ad- mitted thut it was perbaps true that the Inter- nal-Rovenue Jaws wero yiolated more at the South than they are in the North, but, as to the gonerality of the criminal law, be maintained that the Southern people loved the Coustitution and respected order, SENATOR GARLAND made along constitutional argument, at the cloge of which, speaking of a possible veto, he expresaed this forcible sentiment: Me anld that, s0 far ashe was concerned, he would seo the Capitol rot to its foundation and become the lobitation of bats and owls, amt tho ships of our commerco rotting at thelr wharfa, before he sould yield Jot or tittle of the liberties of the people, By thls hyperhole Senator Garland meant thut the Government should bo starved todeath unless the President signs tho “bill, There ara a good many Democratle Senators who are alder than Mr. Garland, who have coul- er henda, who are not willlng to walt until the insrbio foundations of the Capitol crumble to seo the Prealdent sien any bill, SENATOR ALLISON made an carnest, vigorous, poworful speech in opposttion to the proposed repeal aud in sup- port of the Republican position, Mis arguments covered q vast field, und involved him tn fre- quent running controversies with Democratic Sonators, in which the latter were Juvariably worsted, Benntor Allison maintained that the United States fan nation; thattt has the right to supervise national elections, and that the m: chiuery of the State Government in the South- ern States was too much directed to stifling Re- publican oplulon and to preventing Republicans from voting. Je charged the Domocrats with revolutionary purposes, and defended the right of the yeto. WARLAND'S BPREOH. To the Western Asoctated Pres, Wasnixaron, D. ©,, Avril 32.—Conalderation was resumed of the Aruty bill, Mr. Garlund addressad the Sonate, aaying two ucstlons were to be considered: Virst, whether the cight words “or to keep the peace at the polls” should be repealed; second, if 60, was it tight aml prepor to sceure thelr ropcal on an Approvristion bili Such questions could not have been long debated in the louse of Com- mone, amd hoe was surprised that determined op- position should be mot with amony representa. tives of u freo people to the abrogation of ouact> ments hostile to perfect Mborty, .No oxtraor- dinary emergoncy oxisted to justify the uso of troops, aut without such causs the country could not submit to war practices In time of profound peace.

It will be time enough to criticisd the avt af the President when he shall have oxerelsed hls con- stitutional right, und any discusston of his sup- posed course before then is wholly out of place In this body. Let us hope, Mr. President, when this bill has passed from our hands that the angy debate whieh has attended it will operate as au electric current in purifying . the atmosphere, ond we will afl come together better disposed to give to the country what has been given to party in the united effort to provide relief for the prevalting distresa in every pursuit of Ife. Mr. Lozan ata he understood hia colleagus to remark that the lays wero oboyed alike in the North and South, Mr. Davis—I meant the Federal laws. Mr, Logan sald ho differed with hls colleague, aud then referred to the annual report of tha Commiesioner of Internal Reveons for the year 1878 to show the very large number of violatfons of the Internal-Revenuy laws inthe South a6 compared with the North, and that flye mur- ders in that connection were committed in ‘the South, and gone inthe North. Mr. Davis sald he bad no doubt violations of the Intcrual-Revenus laws were talcing place all over the country. Mr. Logan asked his colleague whether ho could show a solitary murder committed in the North, or men wounded in the execution of the aw, und repeated bts former question, if the laws are equally obeyed North and South. Mr. Davis sald his colleague was determined to'have the Inst word. Mo (Davis) did not know whether the criminal laws wera obeyed ns well in thy South as the North, but he adhered to what lo lad slready sold, that the Federal laws, as n system, are obosed with as much allegiances in the South ag in the North, "MR, ALLIBON, In the commencement of his romorks, asked If If was possible they had beon sitting dny after day, and four afterhour, debating whether ina Republic there should be a free und honest bal- tot?

The pending OM was. professeily nn Appropriation Hl, providing for the support of the army from the lat day of July next for one year, and, un- leas this bill scould pass before that day, then allthe uses of nn army must stop, or go on without.an appropriation, An ariny was neces- gary for the protection of the frontier and the forts and arseunts, and for the protection os well of our treasure und archives, and other property ‘concentrated’ here, The army wns us, ol as the Govern- ment itself. Tho Democratic .
