THE SUPPLEMENTAL JUDICIAL BILL

WASHINGTON. D. c., June 14.-After debating
tho Supplemental Judicial Appropriation bill
for five hours to-day, the Senate adjourned with
the understanding that the bill should be finally
voted upon Monday. The Republicans made
vigorous fight against the bill, while the de-
fense OF the Democrats Was tame. Blaine,
Conkling, aud Allison assumed the aggressive
ON behalf Of the Republicans, and White, Wall
lace, Beck and Davis were the spokesmcn of the
Democrats. The inconsistency Of the latter
was shown in many ways. but In none SO e1ectu-
ally Is br the speech Of Blaine: nho declared his
anazement at the desire Of the Democrats to
ite.utze this little bill involving only about 81
U00 0(N, whereas On yesterday thev hau c.a1nmed
down the throats Ut the Republicans bill 2p-
propriating $50 OO0 900 in nineteen lines. In
doing this the regular order Of things
HAD BKES COMPLETELY REVERSED,
for. while it has been the custom heretofore to
itemizz the Legislative bill with respect to the
various Departments, the Judicial expenses
werr always provided for in lump.
Beck attacked {. the Department OF Injus-
t1ce." az he termed It, but Was soon compelled
to retire from the floor BY Allison and Coukling.
The Republicans harassedt the Democrats at
every stage of the bill. The principal objections
we're raised to the concluding line Ut the first
section, which prohioits the payment OF any
money under Title Is Of the Revised Statutes
relating to Supervisors OF Elections, etc; also
to the concluding lines Of the second section,
which prohibits any officers OF the Government
from anticipating III any manner the future ap-
preparation OF money. Mr. Conkltng gave no.
tire that be would move on Monday to strike
out these clauses.
TnE sEvEREsT CRITICISM,
however, Was laid upon the third section In re-
gard to the drawing Of jurors. Blaine and
Conklinx Wed With each other In their denuncia-
ton OF this scheme, the latter deaounctng it as
indecent, and calculated to disfgure aud dis
grace the statute-books Of the nation, because,
in the very face Of clause in the Constitution
providing for q fair trial b7 jury, the
proposition Is made for partisan
jury. It was argued By the Republicans
that the words, t' without reference to party
affiliations u were farce; that it was natural
and to be expected that the works OF the Court
and the Commissioners, who are to be protni-
nent members OF opposite political parties, will
select respectively. the names OF such persons
as arc -.
IN POLITICAL SYMPATHY WITH THEM,
and hence the box OF jurors wou1d contain tuo
sets OF men, with the political line strictly
drawn. From the discussion Of the bill, it be-
came evident that the Republicans are positive
that it will be vetoed. Indeed, Conkling plainly
announced to the Democrats that his amend
mendts were offered in good faith to save time,
anu with desire of shortening the session, be-
cause there would be no wisdom in passing a
bill that would not receive the approval of tho
Executive Blaine, however,
USED THE PLAINEsT LANGUAGE
Of any who spoke. H said TINT the Democrats
having failed In their effort to repeal certain
laws were noW trying to make these laws nu*a-
tory aud void. He said it 'Fas absurd for
the Democrats 10 Buy to the President
eve will make you stand no before
the country and write yourself doEa an ass for
signing bill that prohibits the execution OF .
law which We failed to get repealed" Blaine
declared thar IL: Ind never heard Of zztch brass
a measure which ouly few weeks ago he Tad
given
GOOD REASONS FOR D1sAPPRov1Nd.
Mr.. Wallace very meekly suggested that the
President had nothing to do with this debate,
and wondered why he had been dragged into It.
Mr.. Blaine quickly replied that tire Democrats
woulu find that he had good deal to do
with it before they got through At every intt-
nation OF this kind, light applause would 20
at first disposed to sit it out On the bill to-day,
but it became clearly evident that final voto
could not be had tonight An effort to obtain
;.n agreement to close debate at 4 o'clock On
Monday failed. The Republicans Intend to 60
fully into the business Of sopL1stry ynaking, aild
will give the President abundant rcasons for
eeto'ug this exceedingly un~ise and partisan
