A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT OF SILVER HALF Dou.ars-—The secret service division to-day received from New Orleans the most perfect counterfeit of silver coin ever executed—a halt dollar. All the work on it including the milled €dges, ts perfect. The color of the metal is ex- actly that of silver. It weighs something less than the genuine coin, however, but that is the only way in which the general run of people can detect its yee character, and thea only by comparing it the genuine coin. THE KHEDIVE SUCCEEDED BY HIS 80N.—The Department of State has received a telegram from the consul general of the United States at Cairo, stating that the Khedive, in accordance with orders from the Sultan, has abdicated in favor of his son Tewfik, who will be proclaimed Khedive at the citadel at 6 o'clock to-day.

Among them was an appropriation of $1,122.22 to pay the salary of Judge ft the Distric , 1879—he ict Cor up to June vs having been appointed after the last judicial Dill became a law, and hence his salary was not provided for in it. ‘THE HovsE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS met this morning, and, after consideration of the propositions agreed upon by the democratic caucus yesterday, various amendments offered by republican members in accordance with their views were rejected by a strict party vote Mr. Atking, chairman of the committee, was in- structed by the majority to report to the House the two bills providing for the judicial expenses of the government and move that they be im- mediately printed and referred to the commit- tee of the whole House. The bills are substan- Oath will be first considered, and it is thought there will be no delay in disposing of this mea- sure. The second bill, however, which contains the restrictive clauses, will cause debate, and arrangements for an hourand a quarter on eac Side are being made tn the House. Mr. Garfield if these arraugements are perfected, will occupy an hour of the time of the republicans in a 1e- view of the situation. THE RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES OF TH: GovgRNMENT for the fiscal year, to end Jun 30th, are as follows, five days being estimated, but which cannot change the total more than $200,000 either war: Receipts, $265,500,000; ex. penditures, exclusive of sinking fund, but in- cluding interest on public dedt, $256,900,000; leaving a surplus of $3,600,000. During the current fiscal year the Treasury departmeat has been distressed by extraordinary appropriations by Congress, in addition to the 23,900,000, loss through ‘the tobacco reduction. Besides that loss, the Secretary of the Treasury was obliged to pay extraordinary amounts through his cir- cular, paying six per cent. bonds and interest ‘without rebate, that need not have been paid until after July ist, under the law and the calls.

Tue REFRIGERATING SuIP.—In a letter to Dr. Cabell, president of National Board of Health, on the subject of the Gamgee refrigerating ship, Secretary Sherman says: “The law and the practice of the department require that the Plans and specifications for the proposed fol and machinery shall be publicly advertised, and be opened to competition by all proper parties. It is proper to state further that pro- lests have already been filed by persons profess- ing to know the proposition of Dr. Gamgee, protesting that his plans infringe on the pat- ents of which they are the exclusive owners. For these reasons your recommendation of Dr. Gamgee’s plans can receive no consideration under the conditions imposed.” NAVAL ORDERS,—Chief Engineer Thos.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE JOINT CAUCUS YESTERDAY. The democratic members of the Senate and House of Representatives heid a joint caucus in the hall of the House yesterday afternoon, to receive the report of their advisory commtt- tees on the subject of making further provision for the next year’s judicial expenses. Senator Thurman was confined to his residence by sickness, Senator Kernan presented and ex- plained the committee’s report. stated in yesterday’s Star, the advisory ci Ittee yes- terday morning decided to recommead the pas- sage by Congress of TWO BILLS in lieu of the judicial appropriation bill that has just been vetoed, but distributing its provisions in such manner as to concentrate in one meas- ure all those to which the President has made objection. Mr. Kernan stated that the commit- tee recommended, first, the passage of a bill ec identical with the vetoed dill less its tem of $600,000 for fees “of United States marshals and their deputies,” tts second sec- Mon and the lastsentence of its first. section. ‘This sentence declares that no part of the money hereby appropriated is appropriated to pay any salaries, compensation, fees or expenses under or in virtue of title 26 of the Revised Statutes. The second section of the vetoed bill provided that “no department or officer of the government should during the next fiscal year make any contract or incur any lability under apy of the provisions of title 26, authorizing the appointment or payment of general or special deputy marshals for service on election days, in advance of an appropriation sufliclent to meet, such contract or pay such Habllity.” He also eee that the second or Sup plementary, bill framed by the committee consists simply of the $600,000 and the second section above summarized, together with a clause pre- seribing a penalty of a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars or imprisonment not ex- ceeding five years, or both fine and imprison- ment, at the discretion of the court, for every violation of this section, or of any One of sev- eral similar jeanne now contained in the Revised Statutes, which prohibit making of contracts in advauce of Spuropiations; the diversion of any appropriation to a purpose different from that for which tt was specifically made by Congress, or the payment of money or the assumption of unauthorized responsibilities by Creager | officers of all kinds, of course including United States marshals. Mr. Kernan called special attention to the fact that the Jarger bili embodied, without alteration, the Lo place sections by which the vetoed bill bad provided for the essential amendment of the een method of drawing jurors, and for the total abolition of the jurors’ teast-oath. In the course of an earnest h advocating the adoption of the report Mr. Kernan said that although there had been a serious diversity of counsels in the joint committee as to the line of action that should be pursued, the majority were firmly of opinion that the plan reported was the best, the wisest and most expedient in every po:nt of view, AN ADJOURNMENT RESOLUTION TABLED. At this point in the proceedings Representa- tive Finley, of Ohio, offered a resolution nrovid- ing that in the event of the President’s refusal to approve either of the bills above indicated, the dominant party in both houses should ad- journ Congress immediately thereafter, without, making any further appropriations, and that if reconvened, both houses should again adjourn Wwitbout making any appropriations, and con- Unue to pursue this course indefinitely. The Presiding officer ruled that this resolution was Bot in order at this time, but announced that it would be taken up for action after the report of the advisory committee was disposed of. The debate on the question of adopting the com! 's report was continued by Represen- tative Blackburn, of Kentucky, and Senator Wallace against it, and Representatives Young, of Tennessee, Singleton, of Mississippi, and Hunton, of Virginia, and Senators Hill, of Geor- gia, and McDonald, of Indiana, in favor of it. ‘The question then recurring on Representa- tive Finley’s resolution, Representative Cove: of New York, moved to lay it on the table, an on this motion the vote resulted as follows: Senators—yeas 91, nays 3; Representatives— yeas 37, nays 40. e Chair ruled that Mr. Co- vert’s motion was carried, although a majority of the House members of the caucus had voted against it, and although the general rule ts that & proposition in joint caucus requires for its adoption a concurrent aftirmative majority of each branch. THE COMMITTEE PLAN ADOPTED. It was then resolved that the bilis should be brought before the House through the comuit- tee on appropriations, and they will accordingly be reported from that committee to-day. ‘The debate in the caucus was very animated, and at Umes considerable excitement prevatied, but after the first vote had been taken several of tae Most ceterminea opponents of the committee plan (including Representative Blackburn) an- paunced: that they would make no further oppo- jon. ‘THE ALAska, which was overdue from Sitka, arrived at San Francisco June 24th.
