being overheard and reported, formed
the romance with which the whole
country was regaled yesterday. Meth

The reports of caucus or convention
of Republicans where break of the
Republican line was organized, was
another great bugaboo, and reports
concerning it certainly looked far from
flattering for the cause of impeach-
ment. Republican circles were greatly
concerned about it, and several
of the managers deemed 1t the
most dlscouraging feature yet de-
Veloped. On calm inquiry the
story was discovered to be wholly un-
founded. 1t originated in the fertile
brain OF Mr.. Hawkins Taylor, who is
noted here for extraordinary discover
les of this nature. He had informed his
friends that on Sunday evening Mr..
Trumbull had all the doubtful Sena-
tors at his house. Gentlemen already
in panic grew worse and worse, and
instead of asking Mr.. Taylor how he
knew any of the Senators named and
whether they had attended such a
meeting, Joined with one accord to
repeat and of course to magnify the
story. After two days, 1t occurred 10
some one to ask Mr.. Taylor how he
knew IL, and after little cross-exam-
ination 1t was narrowed down to this:
That on Sunday evening he had passed
Senator Trumbull's house, and saw
Senator Henderson go in. After get
ting several blocks from the house. he
met Senator Grimes apparently headed
in that direction. Putting these two
things together, and setting his great
mind at work, he arrived at his dis
covery by the inductive method.

place about the proposal to issue fifty
millions of new currency. This
scheme is two-fold; one proposition TO
authorize more greenbacks, the other
more bank notes. Each plan has its
respective advocates, while a large
number of the inflationists care little
about details, and are Indifferent what
form the movement may take If they
can only get imitation of some sort or
other, and it soon. The prevailing
opinion among conservative, thought
full men is adverse to this mischievous
policy, but determined effort seems
likely to be made to induce Congress
to adopt it as soon as the impeachment
trial Is over. The New York Post
says:
"The late panic has suggested various
projects for imparting elasticity to the
currency. One of the plans, which is
regarded with some favor, is that the
Treasury shall be authorized to lend on
government collaterals at 80; the
amount lent not exceed fifteen to
twenty millions. The rate of interest
is proposed to be fixed at Z $40 per
cent. SO that when money Is easy
the loans shall be repaid to
the Treasury in legal tenders, and
when money becomes tight the loans
shall flow out again so as to relieve the
monetary PRESSURE"
