Special to the Times journal

WASHINGTON, April The report OF
the committee on rules of the house recon-
mending an increase in membership IN
several of the most important committees
from eleven to fifteen members will be
brought upin the house tomorrow and
will probably be adopted as it makes from
twenty-fv to thirty more places on what
are known as the best committees. There
is likely to be considerable discussion over
the motion to refer some Of the business to
other committees which has been heretofore
referred to the committee on appropriations
as that committee arc very jealous OF what
they regard as their rights and will ondeav-
or to prevent any innovation in this matter.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
Special TO the Republican

~ $50 ~ F"'A'NpH'
SPRINGFIELD, April THE house ap-
preparation committee this evening agreed
to the following appropriations For gen.
eral expenses Of the Kankakec Insane asy.
lum for the next two years, 100000; for
general expenses Of blind asylum for the
next two years, Sj0l0O. The committee
also killed the bill appropriating $4,000 to
buy the Breese library, and will recommend
a reduction of ten per cent OF the salaries
OF employees Of many of the state stitutions.
BILLS RECoMMNDED FOR PASSAGE.
The house judiciary committee recon-
mends the passage of the consolidated
drainage bill; also Sherman's constitu-
tonalf amendment limiting the passage of
general laws by the legislature to once in
SIX years, biennial intermediate sessions to
pass appropriations and such laws as the
governor may ask. II also decided it consti-
tutonal that four circuit judges may be
elected in some and three in other judicial
districts. 1t also recommends passage Of
the bill providing that no change of venue
be granted from one circuit to another as
long as all the judges in the circuit where
the prisoner pleads are unprcjudiced.
LAZY LEGISLATORS.
A bare quorum in either house and a
sluggishness among the members resulted
in the disposition of nothing more than rou.
tine business, which, under the circum-
stances, was well, as it is stuff that has to
be disposed of, and the day was as good q
time as any other to attend to this business.
The senate held two, while the house held
one session to-day. The recess of the house
was occasioned by a large amount of COM
mittee work before the house committees,
ithaving accumulated, all-day sessions hav-
ing boen held by the house for several
weeks past.
NEvINs' CASE.
Mr.. Jones of Christian, in behalf of the
managers appointed by the house last Sat.
urday to try the Nevins habeas corpus case
before Judge Zane, reported to the house
to-day that the managers, with the attorney
general, appeared before Judge Zane, ar
gued the motion made by petitioners coun-
sci for 4 discharge Of the said Nevins, and
that the court ovcrruled the motion and
remanded the prisoner to the custody of the
sheriff
CONVICT DISTRICTS.
The governor has approved the senate
bill dividing the state into two districts
from which to send Convicts to the Joliet
any Chester pententiares, printed in the
Republican of Saturday, and to-day in ac-
cordance with his provisions issued an or
der directing all convicts to be delivered
to Joliet penitcntiary until further notice,
as the Chester PRISON contains two hun
bred cells which will accommodate only
four hundred convicts, and it now has
four hundred and twenty-five prisoners
within its walls. The law provides that con.
victs shall only be delivered to either pen
itentiary in accordance with its capacity to
accommodates hence the governors order.

THE APPROPRIATION BILL.

Inc senate subcommittee on appropna-
ton, consisting of Messrs Withers, Wallace
and Blaine, will report the army appropris-
ton bill to the full committee at an early
hour tomorrow, and it is thought the full
committee will report it back to the senatet
during the day, IN which event the great
debate will commence.
MR.. BELLS TITLE.
The senate spent the day in discussing
the title of Mr.. Bell, of New Hampshire, to
a seat. The two parties are divided up a.
to the validity of the appointment by the
governor, and it is impossible to foreshad-
ow the result. Senator Hill opposed his
admission, while Senator Bayard defended
his title. 1t is said that Carpenter will
argue against letting him in, all of which
indicates that party lines will not be adhcr-
cd to, as is usually the case in matters of
! this ease.
ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.
The bill introduced by Senator Booth
to-day, asked for the repeal of the Atlantic
and Pacific grant, recites that the company
has failed to comply with the requirements
OF its charter; that it has only completed
its road to Vinita, and that no portion of
1t has been completed since 1871. 1t pro
vides for the immediate repeal and for res
toration to public market of all the lands
along the line of the uncompleted road
to be disposed of as any other public lands

This morning (Mon- day), Mars, in his short journey around the Sun; was pushing on to the East, and was only or degrees West of Saturn, who apparent ly only just moves in his 30 years journey around the sun. In week the red planet will overtake the white one. It will be we'll for any who cares for such things to look be- fore Monday morning. for it may be cloudy then, and also after that time Jupiter. is still brighter, and is two hours farther west, but the other two are in an open spot in the Fish es, with no large stars near, an hour East of the Square of Pepasus, and diagonal line from the Northwest to the Southeast corner of the Square strikes them.
