There was important vote 10 the

cy not n little. Judge Loughridge, q
Republican member. offered preamble
reciting that the business interest of the
country demand moro currency, and fol-

port a bill providing for.addiiional issue,
not to exceed $4,000 900, of legal ten.

tern member once jumped up and moved
to table the resolution, and the House
voted without debate. The result was
73 for to 90 against. showing clear ma
jority of l9 votes for the resolntion.A.
Just as the House was aboIt to come to
a vote on the main question the morn
ing hour expired, and the matter was laid
aside till next Monday. The non in1a
tionists. however, stated that they should
have finally succeed in modifying it, so
as not TO have made it peremptory, and
then allowed i: to be referred to TO the
committee. The vote of 10 TO lay on
the table was composed in bulk of New
England, New York, and Pennsylvania
members, and included, also, Mr.. Bur
chard, of Illinois, Messrs Beaman and
Blair, Of Michigan, Messrs. Sawyer and
Washburn, of Wisconsin, Mr.. Garfield,
of Ohio, and for votes from the South.
The votes of SO not 10 lay on the table
was composed of western and southern
members with the above named excep.
tions), also Messis, Greene, GriswoId.
Mayham, Reeves and Wood, (ail Demo-
crats). Of New York. Mr.. Armstrong,
(Democrat). Of Pennsylvania, and Messrs
Myers, Packer aud Phelps, (Republi-
cnns), of Pennsylvania. Of the twenty
five voted to lay on the table; Blaine
was in the Speakers chair, and Butler
is not recorded.
This vote clearly indicates detsrmin-
alton on the part Of the House not to
contrac. the currency, and we do not
think the Senate viii allow an increase
IN tie present volume. We wish Con-
gress would leave this question TO the
people. The business men know how
much currency they want much better
than Congress does.
Why can we not have a banking law
that will allow any one to issue bills who
will deposit proper securities, and hold
coin reserve enough to redeem oil the
bills that are likely TO be presented
This is Judge Howe's plan and it seems
to be good ono.-.State Journal.

II. Teachout from Wisconsin, dropped
in on us yesterday. He likes Burling-

6ngton (Kan. Patriot
From private letter we learn that
HENRY has sold his farm near Central
City, Iowa, realizing handsome profit,
and emigrated to Kansas, where he
has acquired large tract of railroad
land few miles from Burlington. He
speaks highly of tho fertility of the soil
and the healthfulness of the climate. At
the date of the letter, the 9th inst, far.
mer, were blowing for spring sowing.
Timber is scarce but coal is abundant,
and there is no danger of scarcity Of
fuel. Railroad land costs from 81 TO 81
per acre according to quality and loca-
ton, buyers having ten years time to
make the payment. drawing 10 per cent.
interest per annum. Building stone of
excellent quality is plenty and easily
quarried. Lumber is delivered by raj
ia Burlington, and sold at fsir prices.
Stock requires about one ton of hay per
head-the winters being mild and graz
ing good nearly all winter. Breaking
costs from SO to 81 per acre. Fruit of
all kinds grows TO perfection, especially
peaches, grapes, and variety of small
fruits. In fact we should Judge that
HENRY had found an agricultural Ell Do
RADIO, and was in a fair way to profit
thereby. His many friends here will be
pleased to learn that he is so happily ST.
uated.
