ENGINEERS ARE UNEASY.
More Talk of Trouble on tho Plant
System,

1t was reported in the city yesterday
that all the engineers who composed the
board Of adjustment, which urged the
claim of the Plant system engineers for a
contract, had been discharged.
Supt. Durham and several of the minor
officials are out of the city, and no in
formation could be obtained as to the
facts. There seems to be little doubt,
however, of the truth of the report. En-
glneer William Cahill is the only one OF
the discharged engineers residing in Sa-
Ndhhah. Englneer Hazel of the Charles
ton and Savannah railway makes his
headquarters here, however. Both men
are well known and well liked here, and
nave hrst-class records in the service. No
cause is said to have been alleged for
the discharge of the engineers. Their
services are simply dispensed with.
These changes, following upon that of
Engineer Futch of Brunswick the chair
man Of the adjustment committee evince
a Well-denned intention on the part of
the officials of the system to get rid Of

oinclals to terms, and who intimated their,

Makes Humorous Speech.
Washington. Feb. Reconsideration Of
the agricultural appropriation bill in the
House to-day gave opportunity for re-
vival Of the attacks upon Secretary Nor
ton OF the agricultural department begun
by Senator Vest. in the other branch Of
congress. for refusing to execute the pur-
pose Of congress to distribute seeds among
the farmers Of the country. The bitterest
speeches were made by democrats
8fessrs. Moses and Livingston of Georgia
and Boatner of louisiana Messrs. Liv-
ingston and Boatner included Controller
Bowler in their scathing denuciations and
insisted that the time had come when it
was necessary that the line between the
legislative and executive departments Of
the government should be definitely and
finally settled. Mr.. Livingston said he
was willing that the legislative branch
should be required TO attend to it's bust
ness and he wanted the executive branch
to learn TO attend to its business. When
the House adjourned at o'clock the ag-
ricultural bill was the pending business.
Before the bill was taken up, the judi
ciary committees substitute for Mr.. Boat
ners resolution regarding the refusal of
Controller Bowler to certify the sugar
bounty claims for payment was adopted.
1t reads:
Resolved, That the committee on the ju-
dietary be and hereby is, authorized and
directed to inquire as 10 the condition OF
the law on the subject of the right of the
executive officers Of the government, in
the several departments thereof to refuse
to enforce, execute or comply with the pro-
visions of any act of the congress of the
United States on the ground of its alleged
unconstitutionaliy or for other reasons,
and to report to the House by bill or 9TH
erwise.
The Senate amendments to the bill in
cooperating the Society of the Daughters
ed in.
The House then went into committee of
the whole upon the agricultural appro-
priation bill.
Mr.. willis stated that the bill was the
natural born child of a company of far
mers. QLaughter.) 1t carried a total apprO-
priation Of 50 15S. 1872, which was S145, 35S less
than the total of the bill for the current
year. THAT bill" he said, was passed
while the famous Holman of Indiana, was
a member of congress- The reduction from
a standard which passed his scrutiny and
approval should commend itself TO the
economical spirit of the House. 1 believe
