WASHINGTON. May 1.-the judiciary
committee to-day decided To report res

| Credit Mobilcr suits in the supreme
| court. These suits, it will he remember
ed, were allowed to come to u standstill
by! Attorney General Williams, and
| Pierrepont has not shown any inclina-
| tion TO prosecute them. The resolution
will be reported TO the house OH the first
opportunity.
THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
Notwithstanding the predictions to the
contrary, the debate In the senate to-day
concluslyely proves that il will be decided
that the senate has jurisdiction 10 pro-
coed with the trial OF Belknap. All the
leading lawyers of the senate. Edmunds,
COnkling. Thurman and Others favor
jurisdiction. The ground taken is that
Belknap resigned to escape impeachment.
and that his resignation, besides, was not
valid. and that while he resigned at 10
a. m. and was impeached at q pm. the
law does not know any fractions Of a
day, and that he was legally secretary OF
war till midnight OF the day he resigned.
A vote by the senate will probably be
reached tomorrow.
DEADLOCK PROBABLE.
There is decided prospect Of serious
disagreement between the house and sen.
ate on the legislative. judicial and execu-
tive appropriation bill, which Is now be-
ing considered by a subcommittee OF the
Senate Committee on appropriations.
The bill, as it comes from the house. cuts
down the number of salaries OF all per-
sons employed in the civil service OF the
government. The subcommittee will
finish the consideration OF and report the
bill to the full committee in few days.
The Indications are that the committee
will recommend disagreement with the
house OH many material provisions Of
the bill, and that the senate will adopt the
recommendations OF the committer. II
is believed that dead lock IS inevitable.
and that the session will last till August.
TROUBLE IN LOUISIANA.
The cabinet session to-day was of near
~ three hours duration. The Louisiana
difficulties were the chief topic Of CONVEX
sation. All members OF the cabinet were
present. A telegram from acting Gov.
Antoine to Gov. Kellogg, who is now in
this city, was read by the president, the
purport OF wbjahJue an t.agt' reIit:IUna
and other points, and reciting his difficult
ty in securing military authority to pre-.
vent bloodshed, as well as his apPrehen-
sions that further disorders were
probable. The acting-governor also tel.
graphed that the United States authori.
ties were not inclined to act without q
violation OF the United States laws. The
result Of the consideration Of the matter
in the cabinet was the sending Of a tele-
gram 10 Gen. Augur. commanding
United States forces In Louisiana, instruct
ing that officer on requistion Of the
governor and on its appearing that the
local authorities are not able TO preserve
order to give such aid as in his discretion
may be necessary to prevent bloodshed
and violence.
