The committee on expenditures sub {
mitted report in regard to the expenses, {
disbursements and general management Of 1
the West judicial District of Arkansas.
For the year ending June 80, 1871, the
disbursements Of Marshal VIM Ii, Brit
ton were $l37.933 next year, Logan ii. ]
Roots being Marshal, they reached the ex
traordinary sum Of S32l, ,653: next, Britt0n {
being Marshal most of the time, they fell
to S264.447. The committee finds that
there has been extraordinary unexplained
expenditures which have steadily increased
| for three wears The expenses were
about S75O,OO0 1t is agreed by the com
mittee that a lamentabie state OF moral
prevails among the court officials Of
| that district. The record Of Judge VIII
| lam Storcy's court shows that criminals
have been baied after conviction for
capital offenses and while motions were
pending for new trials. He has failed
to examine the Marshal's accounts as pre-
scribed by law and has at least once signed |
a blank account current which was alter
wards filed and paid at the treasury. |
His explanation before the committee
is disconnected and unsatisfactory. The !
Judgment of the committee Is that the |
great measure of reform needed tor the |
Western District Of Arkansas is the abo |
htion of the district itself and It's annexa-
tion to the Eastern District, making one
district and one Judge for both. The COM
mittee compares the judicial expenses with
those of the whole state before the war.
I - =
were S25, 900, $4,000 and $1,000 re-
spectiyelv. The committee believes that
with the abolition OF the district and the
LEGISLATION thev recommend, fraud will be
prevented and Justice can be more perfect
- iv administered than now. They therefore
recommend the abolition of the Western
District of Arkansas and its annexation to
the District of Arkansas, with one Judge
and one Marshal The House adjourned
! without taking any action.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-It was intimat-
cd to-day, by certain officials who have the
ear of the President on the financial ques
ton that he was Sc anxious for some mea-
sure looking to specie resumption within
g his term of office, and so thoroughly dis
custed with the obstacles thrown in the
way by the infationists, that he was seri-
, ously considering the propriety Of sending
- a message to Congress making an earnest
q appeal for the passage Of hard money
bill. To such members of Congress as
E have conversed with him, within few
davs. on the question of compromising the
financial differences which exist In Con
gress, by some concession to the imitation
element, he has been very bitter In hls
comments, and declared that he could no
approye anv bill that did not look at leas
1rlN,,, TO
per cent. of the notes issued under a fret
banking bill, and fix the date of redemp
ton within the term Of his present ad
miuistration. These emphatic view
of the President, which he has embodie'
in letter to Senator Jones, instead of
message to Congress, are very distastetu
to the Western Repstlican inflationists
who do not hesitate to reply IN term
equally emphatic and more uncompliment
ary-even going SO far as to declare tha
the President is going over to the oppOS
ton party, as third-term candidate. /
sustain this they also declare that Grant

Civil Rights bill One OF the colored Soutl
ern members says he Is assured of that
! WAsHINGTON,J j une 6.-The letter of Il
II President to Senator Jones, defining ii
reasons which would move him to veto II
new currency bill, if it should be passe
by the two Houses has been the absOrDir
theme Of discussion among our public me
to-day. On all hands the manner OF tt
ND thing is condemned. Mr.. Blaine, who b;
been particularly active in working for
rs compromise, feels very sore. The SO +
demption feature of the letter is much ri
. iculed. 1t certainly goes far to sustain Il
assertion telegraphed some time since tn
LE Richardson had no policy of any sort, b
in all his official actions of this kind W
merely obeying the orders of the Cel
ADJ. mander-in- Chief, f,-Grant. The Repub
