Are you a clti- zen of the United States, a resident of the Dis- trict of Columbia, over twenty-one and under sixty-five years Of age, ever convicted of any erime involving moral turpitude? Alter this proceding the Jury was conducted by the marshal before ‘Chief Justice Cartter, in the Circuit Court room. They there filed into the Jury box and Chief Justice Cartter admin- istered the following oath: ‘ou and each of you do solemnly swear on. the Holy Evangely of Almighty God, that you Will, without iavor or partiality to aby one, to the ‘best of your judgment, decide what dum- age, 1f any, each owner of land in squares 729, 7830 and 731 respectively, in this city, may sus- tain by reason of sald squares being taken by the United States as a site for the library of Congress, so help you God.” INSTRUCTING THE JURORS, Chief Justice Cartter briefly instructed the Jurors as to their duties. He said that they should investigate the value of the property with the light and understanding they might obtain and the Information they could gather. He thought the jury could, under the statute, take testimony to aid them’in reaching a satis- factory valuation. In assessing the damages the jury must cousideronly the value of proper- ty and improvements, leaving collateral in- Juries to be determined’ in another way. They must decide as to values through the instru- mentality of thelr own observation and judg- ment. They must work together, and when- ever one is absent the jury should adjourn until all could be present. ‘Tuecourt would be pleased to udvise the Jury at any time. It wasexpected that the work would be done and the jury must set early and late until they had periormed the duty for which they had been selected. ‘The Jury then retired to oue of the rooms at- tached to the marshal’s office for consultation. During the proceedings in court, there were present Messrs. Ordway, Lincoln, ‘MeMenanin, Valker and others, owning property in thé squares in question or representing owners, THE JURY HELD A BRIEF SESSION In the marshals office, and elected Mr, Willard foreman and Mr. Walker secretary Some of the property owners present questioned the legality of the proposed proceeding, but the jurymen stated that they bad nothing to do With that. ‘The jury. will meet at 11 o'clock to-morrow in the old Circult Court room, which will be turned over to their use. Tomorrow they willobtain and examine the plats and papers relating to the property and draw up rules lo govern the jury. ‘It will probably be several days belore they will go upon the ground and inspect the property. Then they Will, in charge of the marshal or his deputy, go over each square carefully in tur: A member of the jury said to a STAR re- porter that until they had decided upon the figures on their own observation, their pro- ceedings would probably be private: as to Hold. puble sessions would only delay the work. Alter that they would probably hear what the property owners or their representatives had tosh.

In the Senate to-day Mr. Harris asked to be excused from service on the special committee appointed to investigate the matter of appoint- ment of Indian traders. Mr. Harris remarked that the commissioner of Indian affairs had been from boyhood one of his most intimate personal friends, and while he (Mr. Harris) flat- tered himself that he could impartially per- form the duties of such committeeman, yet he did not think it proper for him to act on the committee at all, Mr. Dawes suggested that Mr. Harris might move to lay on the table the whole subject of the proposed investigation, He (Mr. Dawes) thought it evident that there was a disposition on the part of the Senate to decline to go into the investigation, Mr. Harris was excused from serving on the committee, OLEOMARGARINE. Mr. Miller moved the reference of the ole margarine bill to the committee on agriculture. Mr. Morrill said if the motion should not pre- yail he (Mr, Morrill) would move to refer it to the committee on finance. If it was to be con- sidered as a revenue bill the finance committee was the proper committee to consider it. Of course if it was to be considered as a biilon agriculture it would properly go to the commit- tee on agriculture. ‘Mr. Vest and Mr. Beck thought the bill ought to go to the finance committee, and Mr. Miller insisted that the bill should go’ to the commit- tee on agriculture. That committee had been considering the subject many weeks. Alter'some further debate, during which it Was charged by Senators Miller and Van Wyck that the imitation butter interests were seek- ing to send the bill to the committee on finance in order that nothing might be done about it, a vote was reached giving 22 for Mr. Miller's mo- tion and 21 against. So the mea-ure was re- ferred to the committee on agriculture. After reierring the oleomargarine bill the Senate, on motion of Mr. Conger, took up and passed several bills to establish light-houses, THE DIPLOMATIO APPROPRIATION BILL. The Senate then passed the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill. House of Representatives. A SENSATIONAL OPENING SCENE, The session of the House opened quite sensa- tionally this morning. On Friday night Mr. Wheeler (Ala.) made a long speech attacking the late Secretary of War Stanton, There were but few persqns present at the time, and it did not attract much attention until it appeared in the Record for Saturday. The first thing after the reading of the journal this morning, Mr. Kelley (Pa.), rising to a question ot privilege, cited the rule under which the House meets on Friday nights for the consideration of pen- sion bills. He found in the Record of yesterday twenty-five column speech on Edwin M. Stan- ton, delivered by the Representative from the eighth district of Alabama (Mr.Wheeler), when avowedly there was no pension business betore the House, The sessions which had been set apart for the consideration of meritorious busi- ness were being perverted to the basest of ends— the slander of the illustrious aead who died tram devoted services to their country, [thls greated quite a commotion on ihe floor, Mr. Hetbert (Ala,) calied attention to the tact that his colleague was absent, and suggested that it would be eminently proper tor Mr. a to wait until Mr. Wheeler should be in the se. Mr. Kelley expressed his willingness to do so, and entering a motion to expunge the speech from the Record, stated that he would call up tha; motion for action to-morrow morning. Mr. Henderson (Iowa), also rising to a ques- tion of privilege, stated that in the report of Mr, Wheeler's speech aremark made by him- self had been misp! but he also deferred taking any action until to-morrow. MR. CRISP AND HOLMAN BURY THE HATCHET, ‘Mr. Crisp (Ga.) rising to a question of personal privilege, said: “On Saturday, during the debate in the House, I was betrayed into a warmth ofexpression which I regret. The dis- tinguished gentleman from Indiana, (Mr. Hol- man), whose long service and whose years en- title him to the respect of the public was, and is, in fall possession of mine. An expression used by that gentieman, or;which I understood him to use,excited # feeling which Lynas at that warmth of expression that I now say I re- gret. I have had no communication with Ue gentleman on this subject, and I make this Statement to the House here and now because I reully feel that I regret it, and I know of no other manly thing to do than ‘to give public expres- sion of what my teeliag is in this regard.” [Ap- plause.} I accept, very cheerfully and ‘Mr. Holman.. earnestly, the expressions which the gentieman. hus dropped from his lips, and wish to recall any worus I may have said which might be con- sidered as unkind to him or unjust to the House. [Applause.] NEW BILIS. The Speaker then proceeded tocall the House for the introduction of bills. Mr. Bland (Mo.) manitested a disposition to filibuster, and by calling for the reading of every measure to ‘consume the duy and prevent the passage of the Missouri judicial bill under a suspension of the rules, but finally an amicable arrangement was made among the members of the Missouri delegation and the call was permitted to proceed without interup- tion, fenlig following bills were introduced and re- ferred: By Mr. Morrow (Cal.)—To protect the rights of homestead and pre-emption settlers.

ALIVELY TIME IN THE HOUSESATURDAY AFTER- NOON. The House failed to reach a vote on the Pacific railroad debt extension bill Saturday. In the course of the debate Mr. Henley com- plained that there had been no investigation of charzes made against. the m rs of the road. He said that if the allegations in the resolution he introduced in the House were true Charles Francis Adams and his associates should be wearing the stripes of convicts in the penitentiary. Mr.Long sharply resented this,and said Mr. Adams wanted an investigation, A savage tilt occurred between Mr. Holman, who was Opposing the bill, and Mr. Crisp, who was. dn charge of ft. Mr. ‘Holman quoted from tt report of the commissioner of railroads to show that. the net earnings of the Central Pacific were $7,820,371, Mr. Crisp charged Mr. Hol- man with trying to mislead the House, and said that the very same book from which he quoted showed that the net earnings of the road within the meaning of the Thurman act amounted to only $1,212,000. Both were given the privilege to print their tables in the Record. Mr. Crisp tried to get a vote on the passage of the bill, but its opponents resorted to iilibustering, and the House finally ad- Journed. Mr. Crisp will try to put the bill on its passage to-morrow. THE CHARGES AGAINST PENSION EXAMINER curr. Representative Butterworth has withdrawn the petition of Mrs. Eliza Rodde, of Cincinnati, presented to Congress by him, charging Pension Examiner Rodney Chipp with conduct unbe- coming an officer and a gentleman.

The commitice proposes to make a sufficient appropriation to pay for fitting up suitable rooms in the building. The rooms which it 1s proposed to occupy for this purpose ‘fare those in the old part of the west wing of the court house, The rooms in the basement of this Part of the building are now used for store- rooms and for a lunch room. The main floor is occupied by the auditor of ‘the court, and the upper floor is practically unoccupied.

It is thought that the wing canuot be made ready for the occupancy of the commission before September or October. ee Oe Civil Versus Military Court. THE DECISION OF JUDGE CARTTER RELEASING TWO SOLDIERS REVEKSED BY THE COURT IN GENERAL TERM, ‘To-day, in the Court in General Term, Judges Hagner, Cox and James, the latter delivered the opinion of the court in the case of the two soldiers of the third artillery—Edmunds and McGurl—reversing the Judgment of Chiet Jus- tice Cartter discharging the petitioners. The two soldiers had been tried by the Criminal Court and acquitted on the charge of larceny and receiving stolen property, respectiv and were then tried by court-martial and seu tenced to the Albany Messrs. erce Bell, tor the pris- nitentiary.

The court holds that there were two offenses committed—the larceny, over which the civil courts have jurisdiction, and @ breach of military discipline, which was within the province of the court‘martial—and the order discharging the prisoners was ordered to be revoked. An appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States was prayed. Held for Murder. THE LATEST MONTGOMERY COUNTY TRAGEDY— ‘RESULT OF SATURDAY'S INQUEST. ‘The coroner's jury in the case of Arthur Tol- liver, the colored man whose remains were found near the “four corners,” or “cross roads,” on the 7th-street road, in Montgomery county, Md., reconvened on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Drs. Josiah Harding aud Charles E. Stone were heard as to the condition of the body. The theory of suicide was abandoned, as the surroundings did not justify it. The po- sition of the bullet hole in the skull showed that the shot must have caused instant death, which would have rendered it impossible or the wounded man to have afterwards crawled under @ thick pile of brush and young trees. Mr. K. H. Perry testified that he heard tw shots fired on the 2a day of April last, the day on which Tolliver disappeared, and the sound came irom the direction in which the body aud head of deceased was found. ‘Coroner Condict cross-questioned the accused parties themselves. ‘Their hesitating manner dnd contradictory statements went far tocreate an Impression that they were guilty. It was shown that both were well supplied with change about that time. ‘The jury gave a verdict as follows: That the Jury believe the body to be that of Arthur Tolli- ‘ver, Who, in April lust, worked for Allen Bowie, in sald county, and that he came to his death by being shot {n the hed on or about the 2d day of April by Daniel Brown aud Larkie Bowie. ‘The parties accused were ten haudeutfed, taken to the Rockville jail, and committed gor the action of the grand jury in November net Sheriff Miller, of Rockville, who attended the inquest, brought with him a'warrant sworn out upon the affidavit of a colored woman in the Rockville Jail to the effect that Daniel Brown hud contéssed to her that he, with Larkie Bowie, had “settled” Arthur Tolliver.
