WAsuINGroN. u. G., Aug. S.-Mr. I'd
mund-. from the Judiciary Committee, to-
day submitted 10 the senate an amendment
in the shape of a substitute tor the bin re-
ported bv Mr.. Eyars from the majority OF
the committee few days ago, to enlar-,
and make the crcuitcouri, of thc mied
states Courts OF Appeal, and t1 limit tne
jurisdiction Of the nited states supreme
Court in some directions.
The substitute proposes % make any
three iudycs Of the lni'cd states supreme
Court constitute a quorum tO hear and try
causes and render decisions. II also pro
yidcs that scparatc division, of tine court
may direct hearing before the iuil c"ufl

questions of unusual difficulty or import
ance. Causes pending and which may mere
after be pending i'm the United states Nu-
prcme Court in which are involved ques-
lion, arising under the Constitution ol ite
United states are 20 bee heard before tie
full court.
Accompanying the substitute is the -
port of tne minority. signed by senators ~
nuud-. INGALLS,. and Vest. in which, criti-
cising the provisions of the majority : bill'
they question the wisdom OF excluding from
review by the United states supreme Court
If all cases brought by citizens of dincrcnt
states. aliens. etc.
The Constitution, they say, puts suits 'oi
lnai character upon the same footing a-
suits drawing in question the Constitution
the United states. Every suitOr ia the
courts of the United states should nave an
equal right To take the Judgment OF the
highest court of the Union upon his parti-
ctiiar case, be il great or small.
Leaving final decisions 10 nine different
courts OF appeals as prospo,cd by the ma
'Oriiy, the minority think would produce Ie-
suits mlite different from and out Of har-
