recess untl4 o'clock. previous caucus had been
held NJ which the appropriation bills were consd-
cred The general discussion was strongly in favor
of adheriug to the Senate amendment, particularly
the amendments to the Legislative, Executive, aud
Judicial bill-the NEST important Of the series.
There was much discussion among Senators during
the recess and il generally conceded TO be tne
best policy TO concur in the House bill.

concnr, adding an amendment providing that IN
case no uuexpendcd balance remains in any depart
mcnt, and no regular appropriation therefor has
passed, an appropriation he made to carry on the
department for ten days under existing laws, tie
SUN expended 70 be proportional TO the annual ex-
ucnse and the amount thus expended to be de-
