The Special Deficiency NH.

The Senate Committee on Appropriations OIL
Saturday practically completed their consid-
Grafton of tho immediate deficiency bill,
which includes the appropriations of S617 500
for United States marshdls aud deputy mar
ing Office. The latter amount Is reduced
100000 by the committee, in consequences Of
the passage by both Houses (siucc the pending
bill was preparod) of tho special appropriation
of 100000 for the same purpose.
The committee agreed to recommend tho
addition of items of $256, 800 to facilitate tho
speedy completion of the now State, War
aud Navy Department building, and $50, 900
to provide for placing water and gas fixtures
etc, in the ncarly-comp plotted National Mu-
scum during tho present fiscal year The
amount of the House appropriation for mar
slials and their deputies will not be changed,
bat the committee decided that an amend.
ment should be male in the phrascoloRy of
the clause relative to the future method of
appointing deputy marshnls of elections. The
House provision on this subject requires their
appointment by United States circuit or
district judges" but the Constitution provides
that all officers shall be appointed by the
President, by and with tho advice and con.
sent Of the Senate, with the reservation that
Congress may by law vest the appointment
of such inferior officers us it thinks proper in
the President alone, in the heads of Depart
mcnts or the courts of law" Tho committee,
therefore, propose explicitly to vest tho ap.
poinment of deputy marshals in the "courts'
instead of comforting them upon the individual
| Judges"

Tho Alexandria Outrage.

The outrage committed in u fOrcible attempt
to suppress weekly paper recently started at
Alexandria by seiZing its edition and casting
it into the Potomac is in Il fair way to come
under the cognizance of the law. Tho first
step tason for the suppression of that print,
which was to bulldozo the contractor for its
printing and intimidato him so that he dare
not perform tho service of his contract, was an
outrage against right, but when armed men
seized tho edition that had been printed in
this city on that account and thus made tho
suppression forcble, it WAS alike Il violation of
right aud law which deserves the sovcrcst rep
rotation and punishment. The Liberal is
the organ OF the Rcadjustors, and so
far MS we have observed, is an out
spoken and sharp paper, which is quite rs
respectable as some other journals published
in this vicinity and which ure tolerated. This
manner of suppresSing an offensive paper on
account of its political character was in vogue
in tho South before the rebellion, but since
then such occurrences have been rare.
They should become rlror, and will II an en-
forcemeut of the law anh the punishment Of
this outrage shall follow. Tho Alpxunhria
Gazette of Saturday afternoon has the follow
ing on this case: "rhcro was considerable
excitement on the streets last night in regard

Thore is no glory in it. Mr.. Roach is sup.
posed to have all his senses about him. Ordi-
narily, men who rotiro from losing venture
do not care TO say much about it. Pride for.
bids publicity. 1t hurts ones reputation for

one of those plain, blunt men who must tell

announcement is designed to influence action
