Bowen, last Saturday, appointed q. R. Ris-

New ORLEANS, June 16.-There seems to

neither the majority nor minority reports on

fected by reducing the interest to very low
rate for several years, and then gradually
raising it. This plan is favored by a large
number of delegates, and also, it is said, by
the representatives of the large bondholders.

The senate Judiciary committee devoted
some time to an informal consideration of
the legal question raised / n regard to Secre-
tary M'Crary's nomination-whether he can
constitutionally be confirmed to fill Judicial
position not yet vacated, and which Judge
Dillon will continue to occupy until next Sep
TENDER, while he himself continues to act,
under the senRte's former confirmation, as
secretary of war. Senators Garland, Bayard,
Conkliug and Carpenter, the subcommittee
to whom the question was recently referred,
were not prepared to submit formal report
this morning, but it is understood that they
coincide in holding that the legal obstacle Is
very formidable, and probably lnsurmount-
able There seems to be very little doubt
that the full committee will take the same
view, and that the appointment will, there
fore, fail of confirmation during the present
session. There were, however, no manifesto
tions In the committee to-day of dlsapproval
of the nomination on political or personal
grounds. In the event of a final decision
that the President cannot thus anticipate a
vacancy, Secretary NJ Crary will be appoint
ed when Judge DIllon's resignation takes
effect, and his nomination will be sent to the
senate upon its reassembling.
The committee to day reached the informal
agreement to let the nomination of Corbln
as chlef-justice of the United States court for
Utah 90 over without action until next De-
cember.

A call has been issued for a meeting of tue

celYe a report from the committee of three
senators, Thurman, NJ Donald and Garland,
appointed Friday, to confer with Senator
Bayard In regard to his protfered resignation
of the Craftsmanship of the finance commit
tee, and to report whether some harmonious
arrangement conld not be effected to relieve
the Warner silver bill from its present sus-
pended position in the committee, and place
it upon the senate's calendar. The caucus
committee Will report that Bayard Is IN
fexibly opposed to making any compromise
or concession in the matter, aud that he
therefore absolutely declines TO become q
party to the suggested arrangement Of re-
porting tine bill back to the senate without
Recommendation, even though it be stipulated
that 10 further action shall be taken on the
subject until the next session. In brief, he
insists that the bill should be left in the
hands of the committee for mature consider
alton at the next session OF congress, and
that if his party colleagues deem 1t advisable
to force action upon the measure IN oppo-
sition TO his conscientious convictions con-
corning it, they must accept his resignation.

COMMITTEES.
he advisory committees of the house and

ing this afternoon, at which, alter a brief
discussion, it was decided to recommend TO

contract or incur any liability for the future
payment of money, until an appropriation
sufficient to meet such contract or pay such
liability shall have first been made by law.
The advisory committees agreed that this
clause ought to BE- amended Sc as to embody
the exception contained IN section 1892 of
the revised statutes, In favor OF the war and
