C., Feb. 14.—Several fmportant smendments to existing laws were agresd upon by the House Ccmmittes on the Judiclary to-dsy, and Mr, Frye, of Maine, thomember who propased them, was suthorized to report them to the House when reports from the Judiciary Committes ara called for next week. It ia proposed toallow criminals o teatify in their own bohalf ; also to amend tho law PRESCRIBING PUNISHMENT FOR MANSLAUGHTER, 80 that in the discretion of the Julzoa Couct may scntence persona convicted of manslaagater to twenty year' imprisonment, the limit being at prescat threo Fears. It is Leld that fn many cases juries Tejurn verdicts of manslsughter when - they aro convinced that tho crime committed was really murder, though the jury hesitates about bring- ing in a verdict {n zccordance with its convictions, be- cause of ita Lellef that punishment by death 18 t00 se- vere 3 punishment for tho crime perpetrated. The object of the proposed amendment, therefore, is to enable the Court 10 preseribe moro severs punishment for criminals of the class mentioned, when thus lenfently dealt with by juries, Another amendment agreed 10 18 intended to defing WHO ARE PEDEEAL OFYICIRS, and to include in the category of Federal officers all Surgeons, etc., not now subject under tho law to yun- ishment for extortion, By another amendment the limitation of time within which all offenses, except capital offenscs, must b tried, is extended fzom three years to five years, ——— THE ARMY. Epecial Dispatch to The Chicage Tribune. PATMASTEDS DO NOT ISLIEVE LY BETRENCHMENT. WasnryeToy, D, C,, Feb, 4.~Tbe House Military Commitieo closed the investigation they havo been making into the question of reducing the army by ex- amining the Judge-Advocate General, tha Psymaster. General, and the Commissars-Genersl to-lsy. Eachof these gentlemen exftertams views which zre not favor- able o reduction, The Paymaster-General says ho must have at least ien alditional Paymssters to per- form the servica of his buresu, which would bring the full number up to fifty. In answer to s question, he stated that each Paymaster received from the Gov- eroment anoually’ at least $4,200, and that he did not think private contractor would clear any proft by taking 3 contract 10 pay 25,000 men for the 210,000 per annum which . the Government pays the Paymaatere. In this estimate the fact is not consider- ‘e that the transporiation of. the Paymasters and their money is AT THE GOVERSMENT'S IRvEIsE, -Members of the Committes seem inclined 10 the belief ‘thint & contractor with the 3sme free transpdrtation fu- cilities would be eushled to make quita s snug little amount of money annually oat of an sgreed remuner- ation of $210,000 for doing the work. e SPEECH DAY.
