Tha Refunding bill us nmended by the Sen- ate les on the Speaker's tablo in the Iouse. The Sennte nmendments have been consli- ered in the Ways and Means Commitiee, and It hos been determined to nceept the most tmportant thereof. ‘The one which was ex- peeted to exeite opposition—tie Inereuse of allowance for expenses from one-quarter to one-hinlfof 1 per cent—hingbeen passed by the Caommittee, and it may be presumed that is will not meet with any serlous objection fn the Ilouse. The more vrobable pro- cedure now s that the Ways and Means Committes will go to tho Speak- er's table for the bill, move concurrence in the maki features of the Senate mmentments, and propose such other amendments us have been agreed upon in the Committee. These new umendinents are not important, nor of o character to which the Sennte will refuse as- sent, Tho princival one I8 In the nature of n concession to tho National banks, tnnsmuch ‘a3 it proposes to extend the time from July 1 to Sept. 1, affer which the new 3 per cent Donds only shall be recelvable as security for their clrenlating notes, . ‘There were ritmors abont the Capitol yes- terday thut efTords would be made to obstruct the passage of the bill, taking advantage of the Senate amendment to do go. 1t I8 not probable, however, that the opposition to the biit Is strong enough Lo bring this nbout, nor would any such movement be defensible, T'he rate hag been agreed upon by s majority of both Honses, and proper ciforts should be made to negotints the loan upon the terms that have been fised, This experhment may certninly much better bo tried thun to pnss nu bill whatever and mako no effort whatover, 1f 1t falls tho country will know where to' place the responsibility, liven ndnitting that the banks have somo rightto complain at the compulsnry seetion fncorporated In the bill, Iteannot be denierll that the pressure they are now bringlng to béar to impedo Its passnge, or seeure i veto after It has becomo certafn that no other bill can b passed at tho present session, 13 based on purely selilsh motives, The Iniluro of tha bili would en- ably them to retaln the 225,000,000 of 58 and 03 which they now hold several months longer than they ean otherwise do, even If ah extra sesslon be catled to mnture unother seheme, In this way they would realize sbout §3,000,000 In interess on bunds subjeet to eall, aud the Govermment wounld Lo the loser to that extent, It 1s nlso proba- ble that much of the opposition from the hanks Is based npon misapprehension, It s certnin that tetters are reeclved tn Wushing- ton from baukers who uro under the hnpres- slon that the new law will compel them to exchange thelr £ und 4% per cents for the per cents after o certain dote, which Is, of course, ot the fuct. There may he somo efforts at delay in tho Ilouse through proposed nmendments, which with dritz the wensure along n fow days and thus ‘enable the Wall stzeet speculators to piny upon it. Fortunately the schoemes of the bulls and bears npon thisbasls ave Hmited to a very short thme, sinco the whole nffair must bo disposed of within n week, The Greenbackers and - soft-money Democrats mny further confuso the matter by proposl- tions for now;lssues of groenbacks to meet any reduetlon in the volume of Natlonal- bank curreney which shall be retived on ne- count of this bil, but thareisno prospect that any such movement wilt prevall, It would surely fail in the Senate, 1t the Demoerats shinll virtunlly accept the bifl ns It stands, and at tho same time pass the bl repenling the present tax on deposits, which the Senito passed unanimously, thers will be no trouble ubout the final adoptton and approval of the mensure,—the Influcnce of the bunkers and Wall street to the contrary notwithstanding. Tho dunger in vegavd to the tax on doposits is that an effort will be mado to adil to thy bilt the other spectnl taxes,—thosp ou bank- checks, capltal, matehes, ste,,~nnd thug ob- struet tho repeal of the one ltem which conld easlly bo passed by ltself, and whiteh would muteriatly modlfy tho opposition uf tho banks, ‘The tronble with the Democrats 15 that thoy never try todo the right thing at the right thue and in the ¥ . THE §TRUGOLE OVER REAFPORTIONMENT, ‘Cho silly and thesome dead-fock I the Tlouso of Representatlves over the subject of upportionment ouly hroke yestevday morning about 7 o'lock, Lrom 2 o'clock the prdvions day, or during a streteh of about seventeen hours, absolutely nothing was done, Not o slnglo membor was fined or otherwlse puns fahied for non-attendunee, though tho search tor nbsentees was the protext for the all- night sesslon. When tha physical oit- duraneo of both. sides was exhausted, as well as the supply of refreshmoents In tha Congressionnl restanvunt, a conference wis agreed upon, and five Ropublicans and five Dumocrats wers selected to pateh up some sort of compromise, Of course the wembers of the Confurence Committee on either sy weore seleeted from those holleved to be the most Iireconetlable and least calen. lated to pureo upon an acceptablo com- promlse, The plan adopted by this Come mittes 13 to take an expression of the individual opintons of membors on six differ- ent nutbers,—thres fixed by the Democraty and threo by Republicuns,—without, how- ever, binding anybody, and without prevent- tng subsequent filibustering or resistance ou eltber sllu. P 1t was understood last night that tho num. bers the Republicans will offer ure 824, 522, amd 410, Under the first number the North would galn one niore than the South; wler the sceond number the Novth would ain three more than the South; and utder the third mmuber, which Is the samo as was agreed upon by the Republlean mens bers of the Census Commlttee, the additionn! members would bo evenly divided between the North and Sounth, The threa numbers. lkely fo bo sub- milted by the Demacrats are 807, 811, and 815, The first, which is the same as Mr Cox's Tatest suggeation, gives tha South n gatn of four trembers In excess of the Northern galnd the second number, whieh was ovigle naliy reported by the Democratic majority of tho Census Conumfttee, gives tho South a maln of six nare than the North wonld gain; ! tho third number, ike the first, glves tha South a net ggin of four over the North, O cowrso the futerest of various States will con- trol tu soma extent the preferencs of mem- Lers, amnd may bs ox ed to divide up tho votes on both sldes among the different numbers proposed, whatever thoy fhay.be. 1f the Domoerats unita upon 807, amd the Nepublicans divido up among the three nusbers proposed on thelr side, this numbor will appear to have n gredt prepon- deranee of Cengressional preference, 8o, 1f the Republicans unite upon 819, and tho Demoernts scatter nmang-the varlous num- bers proposed on thelr shde, tho advantage will be apparently on the Republican’ slde, But nelther of these resnlts may be antiel- pated, beeause Congressmen of both parties are governed too much by personal awd loenl consfderations to agree for the common good. It Is very doubtful whethor this questlonof apportionuient will be resched ngaln to-day. The ouse, fagged out with thelr night ses- slon, adjonrned yesterdny In tho mildst of consldering the Sundey Civil blll, and {€ it proceed to-any o finish that bill, ay it ought to do, tho entire time may be consmned with thut business, 1t Is nlso obylous that the Tunding bill ought to be glven preference over tho Apportiomnent bitl, and it s under- stond that the Ways and Means Committeo willbe ready to-day to proceed wlth that measuro ws It eame back from the Senate, Even i€ Mw. Cox suceced, how- ever, in seentring conslderation for the Ap- portionment bill on the plan now nroposed, 1t may lewd to nothing, and even if his mens- ure prevall in the House there I3 1o assur- ance that it wiit become a law, I the Senate Republleans entertain the same sentiments In regard to the Damoeratic ptan for reap- * portiomnent which the Houso Republicans have exhibited, it willbe an easy matter to kil the measure in that hody, whero there Is no previous question, where the bUI ennnot be veactied till next weak, and where there s alvendy as wuch work of paramennt Importaunce as ean bo disposed of Vefore adjournment. lience there Is sinall prospect for the passage of any apportionmont bill at tho present session, and a3 tho fallura to puss. any bill of this klnd witl not be suMMetent provoeation for an extra session, such f vesult will not be de- plorable, though it might eanse conslderable Inconvenienco und some exponss to the States which have only blennfal sessions of the Luglsinture.

Now, when A persun brought up for telal in the Criminal Court hefore Judgo A wishes to get a change of venue to some othor Judge In the conunty, all that {s required Is for him to file his petitlon, nccompanled py tho afldavits of two reputably eltlzens, who swenr that thoy belleve tho Judge 13 prej- udiced ngninst the petitioner. And fhe Judge I8 required to giant the petition. ‘I'he tact that ho does not know the defond- ant mut that ho has no prejudico cuts no flgure In the case. Nor s the Judge per- mitted to brine tho dilinnts before him in order o satisfy himselt that thoy are reputa- blo eltizens, nnd to question them as to the reasons which led them to sny ho s not afit person to hiear the case. The afilants may be disreputnble raseals, who, under n searching Inqulry, would admit that the use of thoir names had been bought for a dollar or o, drink, But itis not perintssivle to show thls, and tho Judgo hns to subniit with what patience he mnyto this libel on his charne- ter. Perjury does its perfoct work, and tho cuso hns to bo heard before another Judge, Inviting a delay of from ono to three months, Under this @11, when the petition for o changs of venue on the ground of prejudice is necompunicd by the wfldavits of at least two reputable persons, who are not of kin or counsel to tho defendant, §s presented to Judge A 1t is his duty to noilfy two or more of tho other Judges authorized to sit in the Criminal Court, and the Judges so notified, together with the oue to whoin the applica- tion Is innde, decide the motion, and, it granted, seleet, In such manner as they mny deem best, one of thelr own number to hear tho cnse, I'hly, it will be seen, glves the Judges an opportunity to examino the afil- auts, and to inguire into the truthfulness of thelr statements, whilo It relieves the Judgoe against whom prejudlea 1s ulleged from the necessity of declding in his own case, which was ono of {ho rea- sons for holding that tho. right to a change of venuo under such clreumstances coukd not bo challenged. If there be uny prejudiee, oven though unconselous, on the part of the Judge, his assoclates will not per- mit him to sit In judgment on the petittoner; but if Investigation shows that the aflidavits submitted are made by parties who do not kuow eithor Judgo or defendant, amd who Iiave been bribed by some shyster Inwyer to commit perjury In owder that his cllent may sceure o Jittle time, then the applleation will bo rejected, and the Judge who has been fulsely eharged with vrejudico will presido over tha trtal. Then such aflidavits will not bo mndy, save In ex- ceptlonal cuses, for the danger of detection and punishment will bo too great, ‘T'here 13 anotbor excellent provision in this bil which should long ago huve been on our statutes, Itis tho one giviug the Stato the sama tlght to n change of venue that is ac- corded n defendant. 1f u Judge mny Lo prejudiced against o man, o may atso be vrojudiced for bim, and (E the prisoner Is en- titled to n trial before a ditferent Judge In tho one cnse, the State's Attorney should have the snmo privilege In the other. ‘Tho bill having now gono to the House, after Its nearly unanimous Indorsement by the Senate, It 1s greatly to be desired that that body will act promptly upon it and put it through without delay, 1t is & measure in the interest of Inw nnd justice, and it Is Im- vossiblo to sco what reason there can be for fightlng it, except tho objectlon on the part of some pettifogeing lawyers to the passnge of anything which interieres with their ille- githuate practices, b JUDGE FOLGER'S ‘‘CLAIM.

Without entering furthor into tho legnl merits of tho controversy, we offer the fol- lowlng extracts from tho opinjon of tho Court, which was dellvered by Jhdge J, C. Daneroft Davls, & jurlst of acknowledged reputation: tho nct of Atg. 0, 1848, the &niary of the Asslstant Treasurer it Nuw York was fixed, and it wag not only provided that o should not bo permitted to chirgo or recelve any commisston, pay, ar perquirit for any offlulal service of any churnoter or description whutsover, but It wad mdo a misdemeanor punishable, an conviction, hll (hxe et imprisonment, or Loth, even to lay i thereto. .« + Tho sorles of stringont statutos for- bidding extra compensation 1o oflicars In Goy- ernment servieo s been tho subject of Judle einl eonstruction fn o number of cisen too well kuown to require detatled refevence.

Itesulting from this genoral and gross neglect, the inspection of grain in this city has long since ceased to have any: uniformity, or to command confi- dence of graln dealers.
