Wasmnarox, D, C., March 27.—The Honse Committee on Appropriations has presonted the Legislative, Exccutive, and Judicial bill, which isthe most important of the great bills. The bill has been in Committes ever since the be- rioning of the seasion, and bas not been re- ported until after n very animated contest. Below aro somo of the more Important changes and reductions made o the bill as com- pared with the bill of last year. Postmaster- General Key recently suggested that, if Con. greas were really in earnest in their policy of cconomy, their carnestness should properly first manlfest ftsel! by REDUCING THEIR OWN SALARIES; that they ought not to try to reduce the salaries of clerks,—which were no greater than they wera twenty years ago, when living was very much less expensive here, and when the salary of Coungressmen was but €8 per diem,—and yet retath their awn salarics’ at $3,000. But Congressmen do not have any such conccptions of economy. ‘They nro willing that the clerk and his largo family shatl starve, and will cul off three or four barrels of flour & year from bis pay; but do not for a moment think of trenching upon their own handsome compensation. Indeed, the Henate has aiready ADDED TO TIIE M'ERQUISITES OF CONORRSSMEN Ly restoring the franking orivilege; and there is not much doubt that the House will concur in the restoration of this old abuse.

The principal ubject of the new bl {s thus defined by one of them: Tho great principle for swhich thin bill fs desgned 18 to secure uniformity. Tho three points that are »pecially made in this bill are: First, n uniformity on allewspaper and periodt. cal publications which are aathorized to be sont at pound ratew, or tho peivileged rates. ‘Tho second point is unlformity st all Post.

Tne Company owns 803 acres of fand In Will, Grundy, and LaSalla Countles, 605 acres ot which aru situated in the heart of the best part of the Wilmington coals field. At Braldwood are an office, machine-ahop, thirty small miuera® liouses, tools, two mites of railroad-track belonging to the Company, and two shalts and coal mines, with housés and all the necessary bollers, engincs, pumps, cars, ete., used In operating tho mines, 'The Company also owns 100 new gondola cars. The mines are In complete order, well ventilated, ete., and are able with the two shafis to proditce 1,000 tons of coal a day at the minimum cost possible in the Wiimington coal ficld. At Marsellles the Company owns the coal under 200 acres of land, but it s not worked. In Chicago the Company owns au ofllce, and conl wazons, hurses, ete., warth 81,700, At Joliet it hos an office and scale worth $500; and at Wilmington a stmllar outfit worth 873. 'Thero are opeyy accounts, mostly lonz overdue, to the face value of §8,41%.« 80 due the Company, ou which the Reeciver has collected 81,325.40. The remafnder ho thinks of lttle vaiue. The Euroka Company Is a member of the Wilmingtou Coat Association, a combination of the four principal coal-mining companles of Braldwood, and, under the con. teact with the other companics, had a vight to produce 23 per cent of tho coal purchased by the Assoclation, and, in consideration thereof, as- aigned all ita conl contracts to tho Assoctatlon, aud agreed not to scil conl on Its own account. For the last six months and moro the miners of the Eurcka Company wero on a strike, and the mines wero belng worked by miners from Vire ginia and other 8tates. These men wero very Ineficlent, and many only worked a short time} thus causing the Company rreat expense In bringing them here, and these trou- bles enbanced the cost of mining coal, ayd oven rendered the Assoclation uunble to 115 #ts con- tracts from its own inines and compelled it to buy vutside at higher prices. The_Association during tho strike ngreed to pay 15 cents a ton for conl mined, and In addition o sun equal to the acvtunl cost of the lator employed in pro- dueing It, thus assuming o large vart of the ex- penso of the contest with the striking miners, ‘The Receiver thonght it would be very advan- tageous mkcuprln tho Association for the follaw- fug reasous: The Bureka Company'a property in the present depressed condition of affairs would have littlo value It 1t were deprived of the outlet for ts product furnished by the As- saciation, nnd thus forced to bulid up a new and Independent business.

David A, Gazeand his botuamen was argued yesterday bofore Judge Nogers, aod vverruled by him, Mr. Jewott, on behalf of Gaze and his surcties. was the only onu who made any argu- meut, and the gist of bis remarks was that, first, the jury had neglected to fotlow theinstructions of the Judee in the metter of computation of fnterest; and, sccowl, that sumo new cvidence had been discovered which would waterlaly al- foct the case. My, Jewett first road the aflida- vitaof C.(.:\Viison, a former sttache of the Lity Law Departinent, to the effect that AMr. Tuley, the Corporation Counsel In 1878, his® osslstant, J.

Clyae, wasalso reud, in which sho stated that her husband, the assistant in theeity Law Department referred to above, hind told tier the bond was Invalid, Mr, Jewctt then went on with his argument, Hoe said it might be true the sult was tochnleal- 1y on a penal bond, but the bund wasonly given a8 sceurity, and the suit was roallv un onopen nceount, and, judging from tho way in which the suretics had detended the sult, ft appeared to banct so mmuch a qucation of money as of legal liablhity. + Even though sume of them dia uot oxpect to be ablo to rospond in dam- nges, they did mnot want & judmmnent of $500,000 hanging Jver their hoadd, Dut he did not Intend to reviow thy leal questions of the case. They had beea exhaustively argued on_the trial, "but the dofendants Lud boeu unfortunate [a not convincing the Court of tho truth of thelr position, Mr, Jewett then went on to argue that the jury, by returniog a ver- dict for the city for the auount claimed withe out interest, had disregarded the fnatructions of the Court, in which tuey wers directed to tuterest, Tho fnding of the jury, also, rard to the executluon of the bond was inly contrary to evidence. The weight of mony was -l.rnmzl{ in favor of tho defend- ' posftion that Mr, Tuley had notice the bond signed in blank, was very forgetful on b 1) ITrr was bue ut point, The counsol also fuslsted that the Court erred in refusing the instrucsion naked by the defcnso to thpeilect thatnutice to tho Asslstant- Attorney, Clyde, was niotico to the city, anda number of cascs woro cited to prove this. ‘The Corporation Counscl did not appear to be nuxloyl to inaku any argument, and the Judge then declded the motion. He sald that he uad thought a good desl over this Clyde matter, and felt woll satisfied that the instructions given were correct. 'U'ho prin- ciple on hmpartiog kuowledge to princivals vould not be extended so far, forif it could tnere would be no lmit to its extenslon. “The princlole that where an otflcer had kuowi- edge fa the liue of bis duty, that knowlodgejwas ta be imoparted to his priucipal, was reasousble, but it would bo dangerous tohold that, it an attorney’s vlerk, for lustance, drew a deed and kuew of some defect In it, such knowledge was the kuowledgo of his employer or the cident, ‘Tho evidence of Wilsun, sy set out §o the atlle davit, would have benclited the defcudaut's cuse naterially 1 Introduced, but It was not sufliclent slouc.
