WASHINGTON, April /.
In the House, to-day, Atkins, Of Tenncs-
see, reported the Legislative Appropriation
bill. It ~appropriates between SIS, 0OO, 900
and SIG, 900, 900. The bill contains pro-
visions repeating the last clause of the
Federal Election law, of revised statutes,
and applies to sections sol, 800 and 821,
and provides that all jurors, grand and
petit, shall be publicly drawn from a box
containing the names Of not less han 800
persons, possessing the necessary qualifica-
tons, which names shall have been placed
therein by the Clerk Of the Court, and a
commissioner, to be appointed by a Judge.
The commissioner must be a citizen resid-
ing in the district, and a well known men,
Der Of the principal party opposing that to
which the clerk belongs. 1t also repeats
section 2,031, or such part Of it as relates
to the pay Of supervisors Of elections. 1t
repeats all other sections and laws author
izing the appointment of chief of supervi-
sors of elections, and special or deputy
marshals of elections. The House went
into Committee of the Whole on the bill.
Negro Emigration.
New ORLEANS, April l..
Tit negro exodus continues in the
northern part Of the State. 1t is rudely
estimated, it may be said, that ten thous-
and niggers will have left by the time the
emigration fever ends. A reduction in
wages, during the low prices in cotton, is
the main cause; they have no yield for the
labor Of last year, and see no prospects Of
an Improvement; some, therefore, cave on
inducements held out by the railroad men
from Kansas, and others act on the same
species Of animal instinct that impels one
sheep to follow another. The fact is calam-
itous, and the lack Of laborers will be
keenly felt in the cotton parishes.
