Wednesday night and until p. m. yesterday.
The Republicans finally carried the point they
we're contending for. The House has passed

nous, and apparently in earnestn their dec'ara-
tons that they will not pass the bill in modified
form. but will adjourn without providing for the
expenses of the courts.
In the meantime the Legislative and the Army
Appropriation bills will have become laws. The
Presidents determination TO sign the latter II 1t
reaches him in its present form seems to be fixed
He accepts the Interpretation Of the language OF
the sixth section put upon it by large majority
of the Republicans of the House. namely, that moth
ing in the bill will prevent him from using the Army
in the execution of any law of the United
States or even from keeping the peace at the POLLS
if occasion for such use shall arise. The Army has
never been used as "a police force" either to keep
the peace at the polls or for any other purpose Inc
President, in announcing his signature of the Army
bill, may possibly send TO Congress brief message
giving his Interpretation of this section, and thus
informing the Democrats and the country in ad-
vance of the manner in which he will execute it.
IfCongress adjouns without passing the Judicial
Appropriation BILL the President will call 1t to-
gether again within twenty-four hours of adjourn
ment. That is TO say, if the adjournment taxes
place on Monday the new session will be called Tor
Tuesday noon. Both in his proclamation and in his
message the President will announce as his sole
purpose in calling together again the fail
IRE to provide for the expenses OF the courts the
care and subsistence of prisoners, etc
The Democrats say that they will pass no bill APP
propIiating money for these purposes except with
the conditions they have finally made. This is their
last ditch, they say and from 1t they will not re-
treat. If they maintain tins position land II Ger.
tany looks now as though they might do sol, and If
they adjourn the Congress second time leaving the
Executive without funds for the courts, then
the President will take that ms declara-
ton that the Democratic party does
not desire to have any Federal Judiciary in this
country after the 30th of June. He will then allow
Congrcssmen to 90 home. But after the close of
the present fiscal year all the United States Courts
will be closed, and VIII remain closed until Con-
to omen their doors The issue will then be placed
squarely before the country, and the country will
know whom to hold responsible for any inconye-
nience that may arise.
II will require more pluck and courage for the
Democrats to carry out their part OF the pro
gramme than they have yet manifested during the
present extra session I; but they declare that they
have pluck enough. and perhaps they have.

Dizzy Workout no Accident.

As our reporter was passing down New
street. Tuesday morning, near the First
Presbyterian church, he heard the voices
OF men in the air above him, and on look
ing up discovered several workmen upon
the lofty steeple of the church. The top
Of this steeple is 1870 feet from the ground,
and four VI five men were engaged at this
dizzy height in making some repairs. Tho
lead on the seams had shrunk and the
nails drawn and it had gotten in leaky
condition. Messrs. e. w. May & Co.,
have undertaken to get the lead off and
repair it with their Iron Side paint. Mr..
S. L. SageI dorph is experimenting the
work, and q scaffold has been constructed
around the steeple far above the roof Of
the church, but considerable distance
below the top of the steeple, and upon this
the men are at work. Long ladders reach
from the scaffold to near the highest point
of the steeple and they work up and down
npOn these But the most dangerous work
is that of repairing the final, or ornamental
pinnacle, which seems to be three or four
feet high but is really eight feet. Mat and
Charley Kulp have undertaken that, and
one of the men had gotten astrlde Of the
very topmost point and was quietly driv-
ing his nails here and there. while knots of
people at the street corners were looking
on with much interest, specializing as to
how high the man was from the ground.
what he got for the job, how much it would
take to get them up there, how much of
the man would be left in one piece by the
time he wonld strike the ground if he were
to fall, whether he would ever know he
was hurt. &C., &c. Our reporter hung
around about the spot awhile, thinking if
the man we're to fall right down there on
the pavement before all the Seminary
girls, what 2 glorious item it would be,
better than dozen railroad accidents or
kerosene oil explosions: But seeing that
the painter seemed 10 have pretty
sure footing and to know pretty we'll what
he was up to, he passed on in search Of
more likely items.

Oounterfeitsrs in Limbo.

Deputy United States Marshal Rudolph
Turk and Mr.. Joseph Green, formerly
deputy Marshal under Col. Gray, passed
through the city Wednesday, with the two
counterfeiters who were arrested last week
in Covington, Va. The men who gave
their names as Daniel and Thomas Hintle
and hail from Webster county, w. Va.
were confined in the Jail while here, and
our reporter went around to look at their
traps. There were tied up in q cotton bag
12O bright new quarters, SO well executed
and SO near the right weight that one OF
them was afterwards jestingly passed OF
on one Of the banks without detection.
Their carpet bag also contained large
iron ladle, half full of q white metal re-
sembling silver, which had been melted
and had cooled, also some small ladies'. q
soldering iron, plaster mould, pair OF
scales, and two good five shooters.
The prisoners were rough looking custo-
mers and middle aged, said they had been
here before during the war and belonged
to the 22nd Regiment Of Echol's Brigade,
and we're in the battle of New Market.
They seemed TO think it useless to attempt
any defence of the crime with which they
are charged and said that their reason for
engaging in it was the hard times and
nothing to do. They had a number Of
small articles such as blank books, papers
of tacks, spooIs of thread, &C., worth a
few cents which they had bought in order
to pass Of their counterfeit coin and get
good money in change. of which there was
about IS in their possession when arrested.
Mr.. Smith, the bar-keeper at Fudge &
McClntic's, first suspected their spurious
coin, and as they were very drunk and be-
ing taken to Jail in Covingt0n as Migrants,
on handling their carpet bags he remarked
the unusual weight, which, upon exami-
nation revealed the articles mentioned,
when the character of the arrest at once
took different shape. It was then found
that they had passed off their coin on Mr..
McClung, Mr.. Qickey, the ladies manag-
ing a lawn party and several others, but
would perhaps have escaped detection had
they not gotten brutally drunk and been
thrown off their guard.
The prisoners were taken on to Harri-
sonburg, Wednesday, by Col. Turk and
will have their trial before Judge Rives,
who holds his court there on the 18th inst.
