WASHINGTON, June 3. 1877!

This week Witnesses Q renewal OF
caucus deliberations. The joint House
and Senate caucus Of the majority were
in elaboration long after midnight this
morning. There was Q prolonged dir.
cussion and Q careful review OF the
political situation. and at 2 o'clock
this morning the caucus had not ad-
journed. The subcommittee submitted
report recommending several i'm
portant changes in the manner OF pro-
vidipg legislative. executive and judicial
appropriations. and the indications r
that the report will be adopted and b.
come q part Of tho new bill. In case
these indications shall b verified. the
new hill will provide for . joint rssolu-
tion extending for one year all sppro-
priations granted by the Act Of June 10.
1878, for the Legislative. judicial and eI.
ecutive expenses Of the Government for
the current fiscal year. That Act. 1t
will be remembered. provided for the
salaries Of all United States Judges, Dis
,rict Attorneys and United States Mar
shals. but made no appropriation for the
"eIpenses Of United States Courts"
such as fees Of Jurors and witnesses, the
sais.ksspins Of prisoners and the en-
forcsment Of the laws protective Of the
right Of suffrage. The "lump" sppro.
priation Of about 8 1000 900 for Judicial
expenses. usually made in the lsgis-
lative, executive and Judicial bill. but
omitted from II last year. was inserted
in the "Sundry Civil BILL" which passed
Congress At a Subsequent period OF the
same session.
The nero extension Of the act Of June
10, 1878, would. therefore. leave the
judicial expenses Of the coming fscal
year unprovidsd for. Il Ii therefore
proposed to supplement the passage OF
the Joint resolution above indicated by
the passage Of . new bill appropriating
in detail for all estimated Judicial sx-
penses. except the per diems OF super
yisors and deputy marshals Of elections.
and containing also the clause which
was agreed upon last Saturday. to pro.
vide that no officer shall DO appointed
and no obligation incurred for any pur-
pose not specifically appropriated for by
Congress. This supplemental appropri.
alton bill il also 10 embody those sec.
tons Of the vetoed appropriation bill
which provide for amendments Of the
law respecting the method Of drawing
iuries and for the total abolition Of the
Jurors test oath. The committees re-
commendstion in regard to the army APP
preparation bill will. according to the
present outlook, be the same a. has
been stated.

mortal meeting in honor OF the memory

her right to all the privileges OF Ameri.
