ton this afternoon, with view OF franz
ing recommendations on the subject OF
providing appropriations for next years
judicial expenses, but adjourned until to.
morrow morning without reaching any
point Of action.
a large part Of to.day's session was con-
sumOd in the discussion Of the propriety
OF the stand taken by the Senate caucus
yesterday. Several OF the members Of the
House condemned 1t with great earnest
ness. and were replied to by Judge Thur.
man, who occupied about two hours in
the expression OF his views in opposition
TO the proposition 10 adjourn Congress
without another attempt to provide for
judicial expenses. lie was followed by
others, who spoke in the same strain.
Although no action was taken at this
joint meeting, the indications OF the de.
bate point with 6. eat degree to the pro.
liability toward the ultimate adoption OF
the following plan: THAT the vetoed bill
be divesled of its appropriation Of 5000, 600
for the fGaS OF the u. S. Marshals and
their deputies and Of the legislation re-
lating to title twcnty.six OF the Revised
Statutes, concerning the Deputy AaTshRls
OF elections, and be passed with all itS r0.
manning features unaltered, closely fol-
lowing which there would be sent to the
President for approval Tor rather for his
expected veto), separate bill made up Of
tho 100000 item, and tho other clauses
above indicated.
tits argued that by this means the courts
would be provided for and the Marshals
in the anticipated event OF the veto Of the
bill would continue to per-
form their functions and look forward 10
the passage OF deficiency bill for their
relief next week. One OF the several plans
considered and advocated was immediate
without preparing another
bilI. This proposition YVES supported by
the House Committee and opposed by the
Senate members.
A member of the committee, although
personally opposed to separating the bills,
said to.Eight that the sentiment Of the
majority appeared to be decidedly in
favor Of it, and while he could not make a
positive assertion, he felt confident such .
plan would be adopted early tomorrow.
1t is thought BY members OF the committee
that the agreement reached by them will
be submitted to the joint caucus Of the
two Houses before any action is taken
in the House.
Owing to the absence ofseveral original
OF Advisory Committees, new
members have been added as follows:
Senator Morgan takes the place OF Senator
Voorhees, and Senator Mcdonald, that Of
Senator Lamar. Representatives Singleton
and Phister are substituted for Represen-
tatives Chalmers and Carlisle respectively.
