House.-The Senate Morrill, amendment
| that no part of the appropriation for judg-
| ments of the Court of Claims shall be paid
| claimants who have not proved their loyalty
| without being first submitted to Congress
| came up in the legislative bill.
The amendment was sustained by Mr..
Hale of Maine, and opposed By Messrs. Beck
and Young of Georgia, Shelabargcr Of Ohio.
Pierce of Mississippi, Kerr Of Indiana, ana
Garfield Of Ohio.
| Dir. Garfield stated that the Committee on
| Appropriations was divided on the question,
but the majority was in favor of non-con-
currence. This amendment was an old foe
with new face. Why did the Senate ask
| that this class Of judgments of the Court oil
Claims should not DO paid as others were
paid? The disguise was so thin that no.
body could be deceived. Manifestly 1t was
that Congress might refuse to appropriate
where judgments in this class of cases were
referred to it. He liked direct better than
an indirect action. If this class of claims were
not to be paid, lot Congress say it. In all the
various phases which the question presented
he preferred that Hamlel's advice to the
players should be followed Leave of your
damnable faces and begin. If Congress
meant 10 say that certain awards of the court
should not be paid, why not say so in words
and let the issue be metz This amendment
of the Senate was q mere subterfuge. II
Congress proposed now to throttle the
lcourts, to crush tho judiciary, to make Itself
The court of appeal from the decisions of the
Supreme Court, then, and in that case, the
independence of the judiciary was forever a
IN end, and the only reason for it was that
there had once been rebels, and must there
fore be hated; and because they are hatet
the judiciary must be struck down.
| Mr.. Banks, of Massachusetts,, also opposed
the amendment as an unworthy subterfug
and evasion of law.
Mr. Smith, of New York, sustained th'
amendment.
After further discussion the Senate amend
iment was rejected.
The House, in Committee Of the Whole OF
the legislative appropriations bill, spent th
evening in squabbe over the Pacific Rail
road matter, and also on an amendment IT
ported by the Wilson committee directing
the Attorney-G General to bring suit for th
di>gorging Of the Credit.Mobilier plunder.

Gratis gave full vent to their views. Th
lovers of pure Democracy should read tn
Globe to-day.
