A communication from the Secretary of the
Treasury, in answer to Mr.. Wallace's resolution
calling for information in regard to fees paid
Deputy Marshals in elections in October and No
ven1ber, was laid before the Senate on March 25.
Mr.. Hoar called up his resolution declaring the
failure Of house to pass the appropriation bills
except upon condition of repeal of the existing laws
Mr.. Koar took the ground that there is no
historical precedent for the refusal of the House to
grant supplies except upon the conditions it has
fixed. The notion that English history furnishes
warrants tor this action was mist axe. He went
back into English history and made numerous
senate ad]ourned.-In the House, Messrs
Harris and Cox asked leave to intro
duce resolutions, but Mr.. Conger stated
he would object to the introduction Of anything
unless it had reference to the appropriation bills
whereupon the House adjourned.-The joint
committee of the Senate and House Democratic
caucus held another meeting at which the report of
the Joint committee was received and considered.
The result of the proceedings was an agreement to
attach precisely the same amendments to the Legs-
lative bill as passed the House at the last session.

Neither house Of Congress did anything on

the afternoon, and their final determination was
that they would incorporate in the Appropriation
bills legislation like that of the last session with
some notifications. The law authorizing the pres
