WASHINGTON, June 10.-There was much
;ov to-day at The Capitol when the House
aSonr,d resolution to adjourn at noon on
Tuesday next, June lIth; but tins was
somewhat rcpresscd when the Democrats
AVID Republicans proceeded to fight oyer
,bc judicial appropriation bill, which Mr..
ycMabon reported back at o'clock, and
~ House at once proceeded to consider it.
If, NcMahon, in explaining the bill. said
:, appropriated for district attorneys and
assistants 100000; for clerks, 100000;
tor United states commissioners. S140, 900
far United States marshals and deputies,
100000; for jurors, 100000; for wit
nesscs. S5j0,OOO; support OF United States
prisoners, Sl93,000; for rent Of United
States court-rooms, S61 1000; for miscella-
prous expenses, S2S0, 900, making total OF
50 600. 600. He further said that the bill re-
Guced ibe expenses OF district attorneys
and assistants $4,000, marshals and dep
utias $4,000, and jurors 100000. He
explained the provisions of the political
clauses. which prescribe general system
Of drawing jurors, abolish the test-oath,
and prohibit the Department or its officers
from running in debt The bill was con-
siQercd in Committee OF the Whole-Mr.
blackburn in the chair. Mr. Hiscock said
the bill cuts down the appropriation for the
Department OF Justice at time when in
his State no jury term OF the court can be
held for want Of funds. Mr.. Garfield OBJ
jec,cd 10 lie political clauses because they
nulhiy the election laws. Mr.. Carlisle in
formed iHm that the act OF 1872 was liable
TO the same objections. Mr.. McMalion
made spirited reply 10 the Republicans. in
which he said that with all OF their catch
words they would not be able TO bambooZle
the American people. or again by fraud 10
place another man in the presidential chair.
The people understood fully that for party
ends the Republicans OF Congress were
willing TO withhold appropriations from
the army ami the departments. Dir. Nc
Nahon read from letter Of Attorney C en-
eral Picrrepont, in which he declared the
expenditures OF marshals was eXtrayagant,
when Congcr asked question and made a
fling at Mediation for want Of courtesy in
not replying promptly. Mr.. McMahon,
boxing at him, said with sncer, &c You
are pattern OF courtesy" C0ugcr said
he was. "Thcn,' said Mr.. Mcmahon,
"iou ought to be cut over, for neither the
present nor any future generation will ever
profit from following such model There
was little delay in considering the bill for
want OF printed copies, and Mr.. Atkins
said the public printer was to blame. The
Republicans offered sundry amendments
which were discussed and voted down,
even when the Grccnbackers voted will
the Repu blicans. Mr.. Garfield initiated
COnkiing and Eumunds when he threw III
his bands in holy horror nj having politica
parties recognized in the section Of the bill
providing for the drawing OF jurors. Ant
yet he knew that men arc selected as Fed
cral jurors now in the South because the,
are Radical parti>ans, and that others ar
excluded because they are Democrats, and
further, that this very provision was insert
ed TO prevent packed partisan iurics. Mr.
Mcmahon pressed this view very strongly
abiding to the fact that parties were recog
nizcd in the Electoral Commission. Thi:
called Garfield to explain, and at every
turn Mcmahon riddled him, especially il
regard to his votes in the Electoral Com.
mission.
AN OLD POLITICAL BATTLE FOUGHT OVER.
Mr.. Keller here asserted that Judge Alb
DOtt DemocraD voted on the Electoral
Commission for the Tilden electors o.
South Carolina. Mr.. Cox showed from the
record that he voted that neither the Tiider
nor Hayes electors were elected. The latter
pressed the advantage, and drew the infer:
ence that statements made on the Rcpubli-
eau side should be taken with many grains
Of allowance. He subsequently showed
that Dir. keIfer's statement in regard to 4
report signed by Judge Abbott concerning
tbe electoral vote OF South Carolina was
equally incorrect. Mr.. Hurd, who argued
The case for the Democrats before the Flee
had said in regard to Judge Abbott's posi-
tlon. More amendments offered by the Re-
publicans were voted down.
The House before 6 passed the judicial
appropriation bin by party vote, and the
weight OF opinion Tonight is that Mr..
Hayes will veto it. The army bill will be
passed early tomorrow, and it and the le-
Slslatire bill will be approved. II Mr..
Hayes vetoes the judicial bill, Democrats
are disposed to do nothing further with it
before the regular session.
The BIRTHPLACE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Judge Harris, Of Virginia, to-day offered
a!olnt resolution appropriating $4,000 to
erect monument to mark the birthplace
q George Washington, in Westmoreland
county. He stated that only part OF the
eImney OF the house in which.the Father
" his Country was born remains. The
louise, without Il dissenting voice, agreed to
Tue resolution, which was taken over to the
eehate By Judge Harris, where Mr.. Voor-
aees moved to take it up. This was done,
AUG 1t passed that body also without any
objection. Three Presidents were born in
,He county OF Westmoreiand-Wa shiEgton,
.4"a'soh, and Monroe. Port Conway, the
v''ppIace OF Madison, is now. however, in
/ NC present county Of King Geo rye.
