The action of the Senate committee on appro
priatiOns in striking out the appropriation for
continuing the work upon the Capitol terraces
and delay ing that Improvement until the plans
for their construction shall be changed, seems
to be indeiensible from every point of view.
The effect OF the measure il IL be approved
not reversed by Congress, will be not only to
throw out of work large number of men at
season when other engagements cannot easily
be made, but it will lead TO the waste of money
and loss and deterioration of material which
always follow suspensions of this class. The
course of the committee is commented upon as
the more singular because il rests with Congress
20 make such changes in the plans as ii pleases,
and at any time, and because the desired modi-
ncations OF the original plans are slight that
they could easily be made, If authorized, with
out interfering with the general progress of the
Improvement. The act directing the erection
of these terraces provided that the work should
be done in accordance with the plans prepared
bs MIR. Olmsted, and these plans contemplated
no windows i'll the rooms the west front
The appropriations committee seem to think
or at least desirable, and therefore propose to
withhold the funds necessary for continuing
the work until their views shall be conformed
To. This sort of heroic treatment is all we'll
enough u. an exhibition of power, but it is not
craftsmanship, nor is it good business economy.

The Supreme Court OF the nited
States having declared unconstitutional
the act OF Assembly requiring Lawful
money to accompany each application
for a License, bill has been passed to
provide that when the applicant for a
license tenders coupons to the treasurer
Of county or city, or to the Auditor,
as the case may be, the coupons shall
be verified according to the provisions
Of Coupon-Killer No. before the Ii
cense can issue. If the applicant pro-
poses to pay in money he must deposit
his money as has been required for the
last two wears. If he proposes to use
coupons they must be verified and
shown to b. genuine; and then, and
not till then. the license will be given
in all proper cases.
A bill was passed weeks ago re-
quiriDg that coupons to be receivable
for taxes must be attached to the bond,
and the bond must be produced as eyl.
dence Of the genuineness Of the cou-
pom.
Another bill amends the rule Of evil
dence so as to require as proof Of en-
graved instruments direct testimony {;
evidence of experts is not allowable.
Other bills tighten the law with re-
ference to barratry and champerty, with
the object of putting a stop to the
alleged practice Of lawyers encouraging
citizens to sue the State and receiving
therefor part of the values recovered.
Another bill creates a board to in
demnify collecting officers for any losses
they may suffer in the proper execution
Of the laws Of the State.
Most members Of the General
Assembly, while regretting that more
radical legislation could not be accom-
pllshed, feel satisfied that with the above
laws on the statute books it will be
impossible for the Treasury to be
flooded with coupons this year, and it
is agreed on all hands that in the fall
there will have to be an extra session
Of the General Assembly to consider
the report Of the revisers Of the Code.
