Show TiiK YooiiiiKia' Bill, It was reported re-ported in town yesterday that private telegraphic dispatches announced that t'.ie Voorhees bill was certain to pas.- ; conre.-s at au tarty djy. Whether the news came from the auie prophetic prophe-tic source that announced tLe Saturday Satur-day Ixfore the F.ngellreeht decision wis made public, that judge McKcas would be sustained by seven of the I uitcd States supreme court judges, oaly one beiDg in the negative, we have not learned. The mammoth indivi-du-d who caa thus tell in advance what eonercss is goiDC to do on this or any o'her subject, is a valuable soul and ,-houIJ be secured by the several lobby "rings"' at once. We will slate, for the education of thow who accept this news as cheering gospc), that & well-informed well-informed newspaper correspondent avers the majority of the house judi ciary committee are opposed to the bill. One thing is certain, should Mr. j , Voorheea support the MeKean bant- I ling which he introduced in congress, i j he hould change his party as he has J changed his politics, and come out I Mpiari-ly in favor of a strong central-1 central-1 ized government, a general application j of the gentle Ku-Klux legislation, and, ! superadded to that, a rule of bayonets as superior to ballots, and drum head courts martial instead of judicial liibu-n:il.J. liibu-n:il.J. Ills "bill" would be i-iiup'y congressional con-gressional authority if it pa.-sed to ! ptek and pack juries, and go through j the whole missionary business again, until the hupreiMe court would have another opportunity oi interfering to ' pronounce the infamous measure un-I un-I .-.m-iitntionsl. If Mr. Voorhecs sun- ports this bill, or votes for it, he will I stultify his whole political record, audi' instead of making political capital of it will simply oarn contempt. j |
