There were new facts which he proposed 10

years Of her life. and during that period the
prisoner had written a number Of letters 10
Miss Hearn. which had been burned. and as

The Judge inquired whether the witness
could speak OF the entire contents OF the letters
and on being told that she could not as they
were very .vouminous, he ruled that her evi-

ONCE MORE REPORTED.
The Legislative Appropriation Bin Again
started In the House.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Legislative, Ex-
ecutve. and Judicial Appropriation bill was re-
ported to the House to-day by Mr.. Atkins and
recommitted to the Committee and ordered 10 be
printed. While the new bill is entitled An act
making appropriations for the legislative
executive. and judicial expenses Of tho United
States" 1t really bears more resembles to Il res
oluton than bill. The first section OF the bill
provides that to provide for the legislative.
executive. and judicial expenses Of tho Gov
ernment there are hereby appropriated out Of
any money in the Treasury not other
wise appropriated the same sums for
like purposes as were appropriated for
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1879
Added to this section are about a dozen pages.
containing clauses guarding against the ex-
penditure OF money for objects named in the
bill Of 1879. which are already completed. The
important items OF the bill for 1880 which was
recently vetoed, are added as separate sect ions
Of the new bill The section requiring John
sherman TO pay for arrearages OF pensions the

tional currency iscontained in the new bill. as
Life Saving Service There are no political
features upon the bi i, and It contains no appro-
priation for judicial expenses.
Al a meeting OF the House Committee on Ap-
prOpriatons this morning the Republican
members objected TO the form ot the new bill on
the ground that II would mystiythe accounting
and disbursing Officers OF tho Treasury. The
iallacy Of this objection was exposed, and the
Democrats tanced that there would be no fur
ther objection to 1t In the House Accordingly
Mr.. Atkins when he reported the bill neglected

INITIAL Mr.. Hnwley offered Hn amendment in
structng the Committee 10 report the bill sub
stantlally in the form and containing the matter
of the Legislative, Executive. and Judicial APP
preparation bill as last agreed 10, excluding
therefrom all general political legislation aud
all appropriations for judicial expenses. Mr..
Atkins was nonplussed for moment at the
Introduction Of this amendment, but he quickly
recovered his lf-possession and withdrew the
bill, Later in the day 1t was again reported and
made the order for tomorrow without inter-
ruption, 1t il not thought that there will be
any debate Of consequence on the bill.

OPPOSING THE TEST OArH REPEAL.
Republican Objections Promptly Made A
sharp Debate In the senate.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Republican
Senators to-day have placed themselves on the
record in favor OF maintaining section s2l OF
the Revised Statutes. which permits partisan
Republican Judges to pack the Jurors In the
Federal courts. 1t appeared to-day by the state
ment OF Senator Hampton that in the city Of
Charleston. at n recent trial. the United States
Judge had directed this test oath to be applied
TO the Democrats. and had refused to apply IL
to the Republicans. although both had served
in tho Confederate army. Senator Houston
made n speech. showing a like dsagraceful
condition OF facts in the United States
courts sitting at Montgomery. Alabama
with Judges ready to apply the oath whenever
party necessity may suggest it. Messrs.
ConklinR and Edmunds insist on retaining
section s21. while they parade their willingness
to give up section 500. by which the application
OF the oath is made absolute and may be called
for by the attorneys on both sides. Senator
Hampton led of in the debate. Speaking from
manuscript to tho general issues lntely dis
cussed in the Senate and saving very little
about the bill before the Senate. his speech was
conservative and moderate in tone. He trav-
elled over ground made familiar in the pro-
vious debate. and said little that was new It's
principal aim seemed TO be TO vindicate the
Southern members from the charge Of favoring
revolutionary and treasonable methods.
Mr., Bayard followed with an hours speech.
III which no cTllltlbtu tthytN anu MS Nttots
with marked severity. Mr.. Edmunds had OPP
posed the taking up Of the bill, which motion,
Of course, II successful, would have prevented
the repeal Of section 500 as well as S2l, In this
move he was sustained by every Republican on
tho floor. After. Mr.. Bayard was through Mr.
Edmunds moved to strike out the words OF the
bill repeating section s2l. under which the
power to pack the luries Is vested
In the Federal Judges. This was beaten
10y party vote Failing in this attack, Mr.. Ed
munds. who led the opposition 70 the bill. pro-
posed an amendment providing that no
person should be excluded from the jury box in
Federal or State courts on account of race or
color. This led 70 long debate. in which
Messrs Bayard, Thurman. Hill. Cole. Enton
Conkling, and Edmunds participated. Much
81 this debatewas trivial and prolix. The aim Of
the Republicans was TO make II appear that
the Democrats were refusing to grant
the negroes the right 20 serve on luries. The
Democrats retortrd that the right was already
secured by law. which needed no reaflrmation.
Mr.. Conking could not deny that the law ~ il
stood. gave this right. These amendments
were all rejected. but as Mr. Edmunds wanted
% speak at length. the final vote was not taken.
There are indications OF sharp and pro-
tracted debate tomorrow.
