Mr. MORRILL. I now ask the Senate to proceed to the consideration of Senate bill o. 449. The motion was agreed t;o and the Senate, as in ComWhole, proceeded to consider the bill (S.No.449) authorizing special juries in the DistCol. It provides that in any suit or action pending in the supreme court of the DistCol, and in any criminal prosecution pend:ing in that court, either party to such suit, and the district attorney of such District, or the respondent in any criminal prosecution, may apply to any of the judges of the court for an order for a special jury for the trial of such suit or prosecution; and if it be made to apear to the satisfaction of such judges that an impartial trial of such suit or prosecution cannot be had by a jury selected within the district, the judges are to make an order that a special jury be drawn for the trial of the suit or prosecution, to be selected from such county without the District as the judges shall direct. The order is to direct the number of jurors to be drawn, and name 2 persons to select the jurors, and upon the return of a certificate by the persons appointed of the jurors selected the court is to issue a venire to the marshal of the District to summon the jurors so selected to attend upon a day named in such venire, and the court may specially assign a day for the trial of such suit or prosecution. From the persons so drawn and summoned a jury is to be selected by lot, and the same right of challenge may be exercised as by law is given in other cases. The marshal, for summoning such jurors, is to be entitled to the fees now provided by law, and such jurors are to be. to obey such summons, and the court may compel their attendance as if they resided within the District. The jurors are to receive dollars for each day's attendance, and cents per mile for travel. The costs occasioned by the special jury may by the court be ordered to be paid in whole or in part by the party applying therefor, and may be taxed.!'. as costs, in whole or part, as the court may direct. The ComDistCol reported the bill with an amendment, in line 14 after the word “District” to insert the words “in an adjoining State;” so that the clause will read: such judges shall make an order that a specialjury shall be drawn for the trial of such suit or prosecution, to be ojo', selectedfrom such county without, the in an adjoining State, as irect. such judges shall
