General Logan made another unsuccessful
attempt yesterday to call up the bill retiring
General Grant, but had this success-that he
elected from Mr.. Lamar, who voted with the
Republicans the day before, square and
manly speech in favor of the bill. Its spirit
was in striking contrast with the equivocating
haraugue delivered by Mr.. Ben Hill the pre-
vious day. Mr.. Lamar expressed himself In
favor of applying in this case the time
honored policy of providing great generals
and admirals with competence, and referred
in teuos of admiration to General Grants
military achievements. He had also the frank
ness to say that the Civil War was regarded
"by the vast majority of the people as sacred
Gin its motive"-a remark which is open to
more than one construction, but at least admits
the sincerity of the "side," as MIR. Ben Hill
would say, to which Mr.. Lamar did not
belong.

An interesting decision was made 10y the
House Judiciary Committee yesterday upon
the right of the Senate to originate apprOpri-
alton bills. A report was adopted which points
out the difference between the right to Origi-
nate bills for raising revenue and the right TO
originate bills for spending it, and declares
that there is nothing in the language of tho
Constitution "tO indicate an intention on the
part of the trainers to withhold FROM the
Senate the power to originate bills for
1.-THE appropriation of money" This
is true Of course, as the Constitution simply
says that call bills for raising revenue shall
"originate in the House of Representatives,
"but the Senate may propose or concur with
amendments as on other bills" There is
close connection, however. between appro-
pIiations and taxes, and, whether for this
reason or some other, there has grown up
custom which may almost be defined as absO
lutte of leaving the preparation Of the great
bills making appropriations for the support
of Government to the House. 1t is
only within few years that the Sen
ate has had an Appropriations Committee.
the revision of the appropriation bills received
from the House having been intrusted before
that time to the Finance Committee. While
1t is not likely that any attempt will ever be
made to disturb the relations of the two
houses with respect to the important meas
ures for the support of Government, the
Senate has exercised the right alluded to,
though not often and by coincidence a
Senate appropriation bill, one of a minor
character, was called up in that body yester-

Mr.. Dwight attempted to push through the
House yesterday an amendment to the POST
Office Appropriation bill making provision Tor
the families of employees of the Railway Mall
Service killed while On duty, and applying it
to the cases of the four men burned to death
at Tioga Centre. The amendment provided
that in such cases an amount equal to two
years. salary for each individual should be with
held by the Government from the money due to
the railroad. This was ruled out, and being
renewed ill another form, was voted down by
the Committee of the Whole. The Justice of
making some provision for such cases is ap-
parent, and would hardly be refused if the
propositi on were submitted in general bill.

The lame and impoteut conclusion to which
the Irish trials have been destined almost
from the beginning arrived yesterday. The
jury were charged by Judge Fitzgerald, and
one important exception was taken by the
counsel for the trayersers. While his argn-
ment was in progress, Mr.. Parnell entered
and was received with great cheering
an exhibition upon which the Court
afterward commented with evident in
dignation. The jury were out about
six hours, and were discharged upon
their assurance that they could not possibly
agree A juror stated that they stood ten to
two, and it is not difficult to guess on which
side the ten were. This ends prosecution
which has brought the Government nothing
but the modification of a defeat, and has
helped to swell the popularity Of the Parnell
agitators by furnishing them with painless
martyrdOm.
