Drift of the Discussion Yesterday. REMARKS OF MR. RANDALL, In the House yesterday afternoon after Mr. Morrison closed his speech on a revision of the rules Mr, Randall (Pa.) said that he had not intended to speak on the subject then, but some views had been expressed by the gentle- man from Illinois (Mr. Morrison) which he was unwilling to pass over without notice. He realized fully that his past relations to the com- mittee on appropriations would scem to Indi- cate In the mindsof some men that he was wedded to a particular control in this respect. Bat he was sure that those who knew him best would give him the credit In this matter of acting from a proper sense of duty as {t related to the public good. ‘The gentleman from TIli- nois had seen fit to allude to his views as expressed in the minority re In that report there was not a word which reflected on a human being. He had studiously in_and out of this hail, endeavored fo discuss and argue the question from 9 higher Jevel than an individual tevel. He had said with deliberation that the tendency of a divis- ion of the committee on appropriations was to increase the public expenditures of the govern- ment, and he believed that he was In possession of facts which would substantiate what he hud said. He instanced the river and harbor bill and presented a tuble to show that while that Dill had been in the possession of the appropri- ‘ation committee the average anntal appropri- ation for internul improvements had been 87,390,000, and that since the bill had been con- fided to the commerce and river and harbor committee the average annual appro- priation had jumped up to $13,591,000. This Statement, he thought, would bear him ont in the assertion that a separation of the appropri- ation bills would largely Increase expenditures, Mr. Randall sent io the clerk's desk and had read an extract from the annual message of President Arthur to the Forty-seventh Con- gress, recommending that no appropriation be Inade for internal improvement, and informing Congress that a sufficient amount remained from the appropriations of the previous year to carry on all the necessary works of improvement. Yet in face of tis mossae, and in face of the further tact that no estimates had been snbmitted, the 47th Congress had de- manded estimates and had actually passed a bill involving an expenditure of nearly $8,000,000. ‘With this statementof fact he was quite eo tent to leave to the House and the country the juestion whether there had not been a ten- lency to Increased expenditures under the plan of distributing appropriation bills. OTHER SPEAKERS, Mr. Hammond (Ga) antagonized the propo- sition to distribute the appropriation bills, He said that great confusion und a waste of time would result from such a changé Mr. Singleton spoke In favor of the resolution, declaring that the appropriation committee | was overburdened, and asking ‘he members not tosit like dummies and puss legislation from that committee. Mr. Scott (Pa.), though favoring any change | in the rules which would expeilite the business | Of the House, vigorously opposed the proposed Alstribution Of the appropriation pill Mr. Willis (Ky.) and Reagan (Tex.) spoke in favor of the resolution, and defended tne river and harbor committee against charges of ex- travagant appropriations, SHARP PASSAGE BETWEEN MR, GIBSON AND MR. RANDALL. Mr. Gibson (W.Va.) said he did not believe the appropriation committee held all the wis- dom and honesty in th: House. Nine-tenths of the members of the House, he said, were prac- tically disfranchised under the present system. | He favored the distribution of the bils. He had yet, he sald, to discover that either Mr. Holman’ or Mr. Randall_bad ever objected to an uppropriation for thelr own states. Mr. Ruudall retarted: “The genticnian is mis- taken ag fur ay Lam concerne Mr. Gibson.—ifI am, the gentleman's objec- tions havi been 90 slight andso went that: They have not made him as historicaliy promi- nent si his other actions, [Laughter aud ap- plause. Mr. Gibson contended that the appropria- tion” committee had no business to hold back the appropriation bills. Why was it, he asked, that the gentleman from Penn’ sylvania ‘and the gentleman froin _Indi- ana were the only members who could be | trusted with the appropriation bills? ‘They Were potent now to stop legislat transportation, but they bad had no power when confronted with railroad steals. Mr. Randall,—I never voted a dollar nor an aere of land for any rallroud, Mr. Gibson.—I did not a+k how the gentleman voted. It is well known that while he has had charge of these matters he has controlled legis- | lation, Bat I am Mr. ‘Randall.—Not in the least. glad to say that the democrats voted almost unanimously as I did, Mr. Gibson.—Itis not a question of how the gentieman voted or how he did not. Mr. Randall.—I thonght it was. Mr. Gibson—It is because the gentleman thrust himseif in here aud makes himself a personal feature in this discussion that he is discussed, [Langhter.] We want to amend the rules for the public good, not to help | or hurt the gentleman from Pennsylvania. Millions of money, he said, had been spent in subsidy. He chuilenged the uppropriations | committee to compare their bills with the | river and harbor bills and see which had the most Jobs in them, Mr. Randall thought that in view of the re- marks of the gentleman from West Virginia as toland grants and subsidy, it was proper for him to say that since the "House had been under democratic control there had not been an acre ot land or a dollar of subsidy appro- priated. Asto his thrusting himself forward here, every member ought to know that be had | done just the reverse. He did not deal in per- | sonalities in the House, and if anybody wanted to deal with Lim personally he ought not todo ithere,-* ‘MR. CANNON'’S REMEDY. Mr. Cannon (Ill,) made a strong argument in opposition to the distribution of the work of the appropriations committee. He said the true remedy for the evil which had grown up in delaying the reporting of appropriation bills was to let the committee on prrcenons make all the appropriations, and to take from it toe power of originating legislation. ‘Then it would become what it should always have been —a mere auditing committee. From amere temporary and partisan staudpoint he would preier that the rules sould be amended as pro- posed, because he believed that it would lead to Increased expenditures. He did not believe that the different committees would be dis- honest, ‘MR, REED SAID the House had teen allowed to transact no public business except at the discretion and by the permission of a small coterie of gentlemen, who, while they individually more wisdom than the rest of the members, did not possess at all the wisdom of this world. He, tor ‘one, believed that the safety of the country was not'in the hands of any one man or any one set of men, but in the virtue of the representa- ves of the people, bneked and watebed by the \e. ‘Morrison gave notice that he would en- deayor to close general debate this aiternoon, and then (at 4:30) the House adjourned.

Herrick, in bis home, in Peari street, Brooklyn, on August 10th last. At 5 o'clock Monday the case was given to the jury, and at 11 o'clock last evening the jury re-entered the court room, aiter having agreed upon a verdict. As the twelve men filed into the court room the b risoner sat look: ti is side sat his mother, widow, eagerly ing, yet dreading the disclosure tocome. She had upheld her eeen- tral figure during the trial. man ofthe jury answered “Not guilty,” in response to the usiial question of the clerk,’a shout burst forth from the crowd, which shook the walls and was beard in the streets, The mother, Mrs, Herrick, clasped her boy in her arms and beld him close, while cheers and wild shouts were lined, peal on. peal, people shox other's hands, and hugged both mother and son where -y stood—each in the other's embrace. The ring of the judge's gavel ouly punctuated the cheers of applause and the rar tn court and corridors, Justice Wm.

McMahon drew a check book at once, and while he wrote a check for his fine he said: “I would have paid $100: I couldn't help shouting.” The boy was dis- charged and the crowd struggled intothe street cheering all the way and out Into the strect. THE TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENSE was that Herrick came suddenly upon his step- son, who fled, seizing a pistol in his flight, and secking refuge in the cellar. Thither the step- father followed him, and when there was no escape the shots were fired. The evidence of brutality exereised toward the boy by Herrick could not be discredited. Herrick asked his wife to leave out one of the pistols belore she went to the country, and sbe did so. Hefore she leit she gave her son a night key, the first me he had ever had ove. On the day of the homicide Herrick returned home at 4:30 p. m., and ten minutes later was seen coming from the basement. He died on the area grating.
