Beiief that Limited Appropriations
Hills Will be Passed.

BELIEF that Limited Appropriation
Bills will be Passed.
WASHINGTON, May 3lst.-The
efforts to SECURE the repeal of the
Federal election law will undoubt-
edly be postponed until the next
session, aud the Legislative, Exec
utive and Judicial Appropriation
bill, according to the present out
look, will be passed this session in
such terms as will minutely specify
the purposes for which every dol
lar shall be expended, and without
making any provision for the pay
ment of Supervisors or Deputy
Marshals of Election. The Presi-
dent, of course, cannot we'll refuse
to sign a bill because it does not
appropriate for any particular OBJ
ject of this kind, and this escape
from the present dilemma is es-
pecially feasible in view of the fact
that no Congressional elections are
to be held next fall except in the
single State of California; and sew
eral prominent. Democrats who
have hitherto counseled extreme
measures express the opinion that
the Army Appropriation bill will
be passed divested of all riders, ex-
cept a single proviso that troops
shall not be used at the polls for
political purposes.
Imporsans Ruiiag la q C.iiivrnia
Land Case.
WASHINGTON, May S1.--The Sec.
retary of the Interior has made a
comprehensive ruling in the Cali
fornia case of the Rancho C0rte de
MADEIRA, which is of general appli-
cation and of very great import
ance. He holds that, under the act
Of July l, 1854, but one publication
of a survey is authorized, and that
all parties falling to appear and file
objections to the survey requested
by law after such publication can
only be considered as prOtestants,
and are not entitled to appeal from
the Commissioners decision. Sec
retary Schurz also decides that no
parties are entitled to present Objec.
tions, even within the statutory PEE
riod of publication, and thus be-
come entitled to consideration as
"parties in interest,"" unless they
are claimants under the grant or
under an adjoining grant. The eff
feet of this decision will be to break
up the practice of interposing
claims based on scrip selections,
and various other pretences, by
which the final settlement of many
Spanish titles in California has
been delayed indefinitely from year
to year by an unending succession
of new objections to confirmation
of surveys. The case in hand has
been pending on the question of
survey alone for nearly twenty
years.
