ton in the House to-day in an attempt Il

Of personal privilege.

CONGRESSMAN ON HIS DEATH BED.
Representative Hostettler,o of Indiana, is
lying so low with pneumonia, that his life
is despaired Of, and he may not live
through the day. He is Democrat and
the author OF the political assessment bill,
which provoked a lively discussion this
session.
THE DEFICIENCY APPROPRIATION.
The Senate Committee on Appropria-
tons to-day practically completed consid-
Grafton Of the immediate deficiency bill.
The committee agreed to recommend an
addition Of s2S6, 500 to facilitate the speedy
completion OF the new State, War and
Navy Department building. The amount
of the House appropriation for marshals
and deputies will not be changed, but the
committee decided an amendment should
be made in the phraseology Of the clause
relative to the future method OF appoint
ing deputy marShals OF elections. The
House provision on this subject requires
their appointment by us. Circuit or Dis.
trict Judges, but the Constitution provides
that all officers shall be appointed by the
President by and with the advice and con.
sent OF the Senate, with the reservation
that Congress may by law vest the ap-
pointment OF such inferior officers as il
thinks proper in the President alone or in
heads OF departments or courts OF law.
The committee therefore propose to vest
the appointment OF deputy marshals in
the courts instead OF comforting them upon
individual judges.
BEN HILLS NEMESIS.
Miss Jessie Raymond, who has for some
weeks past been staying at the Washing
ton House, corner Of Third street and
Pennsylvania avenue, and whose name
has been prominent before the public for
some weeks past in connection with her
suit against Senator Hill, Of Georgia, has
gone South. It will be remembered that
her suit, filed by Mrs. Lockwood, was
without deposit, being made on an order,
to sue as pauper, and it was supposed
that she was without funds, but since she
has been at the hotel she has paid her bills
promptly, having been behind only on
one occasion. Her departure seems to
have been entirely unexpected, for
she had paid her bill only the
day before, and early yesterday
morning she sent down to the
office, paid the balance, and took her de.
parture with little Tommy, her child,
from the hotel, where the porter assisted
her to check her baggage to Richmond, but
she had, 1t is stated, through ticket, as
well as large roll OF bills, said 10 have
amounted TO about $500. A reporter,
upon meeting Senator Ben Hill at the
Capitol yesterday, mentioned the depar.
ture OF Miss Raymond from Washington,
and that it was reported she had q large
sum of money. The Senator, in most
emphatic terms, declared he had not
given her cent Of money, nor had any
body for him. He said he would not have
given her a dollar under any circum.
stances, and that it was matter OF indit.
ference to him whether she remained in
the city or not; that she had annoyed him
as much as she possibly could, and in any
aspect OF the case 1t was not likely he
would pay her after the damage had been
done.
