Senate passes strict Civil Rights bill amid Democratic opposition
The U S Senate adopted a stringent enforcement bill for the 15th amendment after a long night session, with House rejection of a companion measure. The act sets penalties for voter suppression and bribery, grants US courts exclusive jurisdiction, empowers marshals, and allows use of military force to enforce voting rights.

Army Appropriation Bill Short by War Department Request
The Army Appropriation bill submitted to the House through the Appropriation Committee carries about 3 000600 less than the War Department requested. The piece may be reconciled later in a deficiency bill and prompts questions why one bill could not authorize the needed funds at once. The Presbyterian General Assembly met in Philadelphia and completed the union of Old School and New School factions begun at Pittsburg last year. The church, long divided, is now united and poised to grow stronger through unity.
