WASHINGTON juno Congressional bust.
ness Is now being rnpidly disposed Of Tha
House to-day passed joint resolution provide
ing Tor final adjournment on the 17th inst.
Tho resolution went to tho Senate and
was referred TO tho Committee on Appro-
priations. which will probably report IL with
an amcndmont fixing the Goth or 21si
as tho day for adjourning sine die. The bill
making appropriations for certain judicial OK
panses OF the Government was also pissed by
tho House to-day. This bill is distinguished
because the appropriations FOR every possible
need OF tho Fodesal judiciary are itomi1cd.
No provision is made for the payment OF super.
vsors OF elections or deputy marshals. Ii
contains n provision for tho repeal OF the
Jurors Test Oath law. In case tho separate
bill for the repeal Of that law should fail. the
Appropriation bill, which tho Democrats insist
Hayes shall ultimately approve, will guarantee
the abolition Of those statutes. Tho Republi.
cans were united in opposition TO tho Appro.
priation bill. and they aborod soiulousy tc
amond its provisions. Tho changes made
wcro trivial. The only feature Of the
debate Of interest was tilt between
Mr.. Cox and Mr. Koifor in relation

rg,fact MS uniruthiul ayerment, and further
showed his ignorance of tho proceedings Of the
Commi ssion by saying that tho Democrats ar
- mil aiAn hat Ia
den electors from South Carolina should
be counted instead OF tho Hayes electors.
Mr.. Hurd. who was one OF tho counsel before
the Commission. said that the argument OF
iair election IN the state and that tho Commits
sion should go behind the returns to learn the
facts OF tho case. k"ifer, worStnd nt very point,

md some other of the stHiWart senators sug-
gested the cHucus They wished 10 dissuade
