XLVIith CONGRESS.FIB8T SESSION.

SENATEConsideration of the Intermediate Appellate

Court bill was resumed, the question being

udou its passage. The bill passed finally

yeas, 32; nays, 18 receiving the support of allthe Bepublicans, and Messrs. Bayard, Cockrell,

Jackson. Harris, Pugh, and Walker, Democrats.The bill creates nine intermediate courts, orone in each existing circuit, and eighteennew Circuit Judges, or two additionalfor each circuit, who are to be appointed

the Supreme Court, allotted to that cir-

cuit three Circuit Judges, and two of the Dis-

trict Judges, the latter to be designated at eachterm for the succeeding term, and, if practica-ble, in rotation, and four of the Judges to con-

stitute a quorum. Appellate jurisdiction isconferred upon the new court over the decrees

the Circuit or District courts in causes in-

volving more than $500, or whero the Circuitor District Judges shall certify that the adjudi-cation involves a question of general import-ance. Decisions of the Appellate Court on ques-tions of fact are to be conclusive, but reviewsupon points of law may be had upon writs oferror to the Supreme Court, when the matterin controversy exceeds 10,000, the presentlimitation being $5,000. In criminal cases awrit of error may be sued if allowed by theJudge of the Appellate Court, but can not begranted after an unsuccessful application toanother Judge. If the Judges do not differ,and che case is within their jurisdiction, then-actio-n

is to be final, and a writ may be takenupon a question of jurisdiction, but not toreview the whole case. Exceptional per-mission to appeal to the Supreme Courtis also grantea in questions lnvoiviugthe construction of the Constitution on thevalidity of a treaty or a Federal law. The billprescribes the clerical force of the new courtsand fixes the following as the places at whichthe first terms of the courts in their respectivecircuits shall be held: Boston, New York,Philadelphia. Bichmond, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louie, and San Francisco.The termB are to begin the first Tuesdays inMay and November, beginning with November,1882.

ported favorably the bill to establish a UnitedStates Court in the Indian Territory. TheHouse bill for a public building at Jackson,Tennessee, passed. The five-per-ce- nt. landbill was taken np, and Mr. Plumb explained itsprovisions. Tne dui nnauy went; over.

Mr. Sherman presented a petition from Mrs.Betty B. Bassett, of Virginia, setting forth thatshe is the owner of the family bible of GeorgeWashington, and offering to sell it to theGovernment. Beferred. A bnl for an exten-sion ot a sftftxn grain shovel patent was re-ported favorably with the substitution of sevenyears in place of ten as the time of tho exten-sion. Discussion of the five-per-ce- nt. landbill was resumed, Mr. Garland supporting themeasure. After a general discueBion upon thequestion whether military scrip landB were en-titled to be considered as among those actuallysold upon which five per cent, was to be paid,the bill went over without action.

In discusBion of the five per cent, bill, Mr.Saulabury's amendment, prohibiting States re-

ceiving money from or applying any of it topay agents employed to procure it, was modi-fied by Mr. Beck adding the words, " exceptthis be in accordance with the laws of the Statepassed after the passage of tbiB act." Adopted.Mr. Vance advocated an amendment, requiringthe granting of lands donated for railroad andeducational purposes, in the States named, tobe ascertained, and opposed the bill. Discus-Bion was continued by Messrs. Conger, Allisonand McDill, and then Mr. Morgan offered anamendment, which was accepted by the friendBof the bill, requiring the payment of five percent, be made in cash instead of bonds. Mr.Morrill gave notice of amendments, and thebill went over.

HOUSE.The bill passed for the removal of the re-

mains of the late General Kilpatrick from Chilito the United States. The conference reporton the fortification appropriation bill wasagreed to, and the Houee resumed the consid-eration of the Geneva award bill. The substi-tute for minority was rejected by 46 to 109.The bill then passed yeas, 131 ; nays, 66. Theconference report on the agricultural appropri-ation bill was agreed to. Mr. Crapo endeavoredto call up the National Bank charter bill, butfailed to obtain the necessary two-third- s.

The bill organizing the militia of the countryinto a National Guard, authorizing conscriptionand appropriating a million dollars annuallyfor equipement, was defeated by a two-thir- ds

vote. A bill to protect innocent purchasers ofpatented articles was passed, also a resolutionacceptings with thanks Dr. J. M.

Mr. Blackburn, from Kentucky,was appointed one of the visitors to the WestPoint Military Academy. Mr. Thomas, ofHlinois, was appointed one of the visitors totho AnnapoliB Naval Academy.

The House resumed consideration of the na-

tional bauk charter bill, and Mr. Hewitt spokein favor of the banks, stating that the presentsystem is the best yet devised by the ingenuityof man. Mr. Buckner opposed the pendingbill as being wholly unnecessary. It was adelusion and a cheat, which would not ac--g

mplish what the country thought it would,and which failed to secure a safeand stable circulation. Mr. Butterworth,of Ohio, supported the bill, as requiredby public policy and by the businessinterests of tho country, but insisted the re-

serves of a National Bank should be kept incoin. He ridiculed the proposition that thebanks should be overthrown and the Govern-ment go into the business of publishing ragmoney. He was in favor of paying the greenbacks and placing the (Government onceagain within the harbor of the Constitu-tion, which limited the power of the Govern-ment to the right to coin money and regu-late the value thereof. It might be Baidthat he was a Democrat. He was heartand soul a Democrat on the subject oflimiting the power of the Government withinthe plain provision of the Constitution.
