Mr.. Carpenter wal elected President
pro tenn of the U. S. Senate on the 18th.
Several new bills were introduced, and
after a speech by Nj. Sumner on the re-
sumption of speice payments the Senate
adjourned uniI Monday.
The debate on the bill to repeal the
salary grab was resumed in the House
of Representatives. Speeches were made
by Messrs. A. H. Stephens, Poland, Gar
field, Maynard, and others. At the con-
clusion of the DEBATE the House refused
to order the previous question on the
third reading of the bill. This kills Mr..
Hale's bill, and Mr.. Kasson, who had re-
ported the minority bill, now has charge
OF the subject.
The House. of Representatives on the
18th ordered an investigation into the
charges offraud brought against Gen. o. o.
Howard by Secretary Belknap. After
some debate the salary-grab bill was re-
committed to the special committee, with
instructions to report a bill repeating the
whole salary act of the last Congress, so
far as can be done under the Constitution.
The House approprlating $4,000 for extra
ordinary expenses of the Navy Depart
ment, and then ad Journed.

THIRTY-FIvE years ago Thomas H. Ben
ton, "Old Bullion" as he was called, de-
livered a speech upon finances in the UNI
ted States Senate, in the course of
which he made some remarks which
sound very much like the utterances
of to-day. One passage was as fol-
lows: One of the highest functions
of money is to measure values. That
Is a function which paper cannot per-
form. The measure of values must
itself be free from sudden or material va
r~iations of value. 1t must have a uni
versal value. As well might you attempt
to make a measure of lengths out of that
which has no length a measure of weight
out of hat which has no weight, a meas
ure of quantities out of that which has no
capacity to hold any quantity, as to en-
deavor to make a measure out of thai
which has no intrinsic value. The pre-
cious metals alone can constitute a meas.

the value OF nothing, not ven of Itself

Hon. Fernando Wood, member in the
House frsm New York for several years
past has repeatedly called attention to the
Freedmen's Bureau affairs at the head of

Howard was a defaulter to a large amount,
as the following dispatch, smoked out at
last, viii show:
WARRINGTON, December 2.-The Speak
er of the House laid before Congress to-
day an important letter from the Secretary
of War, accompanied. by volumInous OFF,
cial documents, arralgning General o. O..
Howard, late Commissioner of Freedmen's
Affairs, as a defaulter. These documents,
IN substance and detail, confirm the
charges against this christian patriot"
The letter of Secretary Belknap directly
accuses Howard of fraud and malfeasance
N Office, names the missing funds at $278-
600, and announces the Institution of Grim
NAL and civil suits against him. Mr.. Fer
nando Wood ~endeavored to have a reso-
luton passed by the House directing the
trial Of Howard by court-martial, but
some of Towards friends succeeded in
having it referred to the Military Commit
tee. A court.martial will doubtless be
ordered, and Howard severely punished
under the thirty-ninth article of war,
while by the bounty law he is liable for a
term in the penltentiary through a crimi-
nal prosecution. The evidence submitted
to-day is of extraordinary interest. The
prominence and zeal of Gen. Howard IN
religious works, his efforts to build q
church in Washington, and TO erect the
building of the Young Mems Christian
/ Association, and the active part he took in
a variety of moral reform movements, OBJ
tanned for him a largs number ofadmirers
and defenders, who denounced the reports
as calumnies.
Finally, in the XLIst Congress, Fernan-
do Wood made a number of damaging
charges against Con. Howard, and IN in
vestigation was ordered, but was put in
charge of a Committee on which were
three former Bureau agents and several
ether partisans of the accused. The testi-
mony taken went far towards sustaining
all of Woods accusations and clearly prov
ed several of them, but the Committee
made a withdrawing report. 1t was at
forwards discovered that Gen. Balloch,
Towards chief disbursing officer, had kept
600 of the Bureau funds on deposit In
a bank, and had been drawing interest up
on it, and disposIng of it, as he pretended,
to make good the losses of himself and
brother officers sustained by enormous pay
ments of bounties. Balloch had previous
ly resigned and could not be punished

Vincent was put in charge of its papers,
and finding reason for the suspicion that
all was not right, began the investigation

tary.

THE WORKING MEN OF N, 2.

Held a rousing meeting at Cooper's Insti-
tute on the evening of the l1tb. Around
the platform were numerous notices,
such as eve demand a Suspension
of Rent for Three Months" The Gen
eral hat Commands this Army is General
Distress" when Workingmen Begin to
Think Monopoly Begins to Tremble." and
others of equally significant character
Hand bills were circulated enumerating
the high salaries paid officials, and de-
mandiHg mo more salaries over $4,000"
The number of homeless men and women
in the city was given at ten thousand
those inzthe Station houses at $500 per
week; and out of eleven Trade Unions
20. 250 men are idle, and $3.50 employed.
1t was also stated that there are $780, 600
skilled workmer idle in that State, and
10000 of all classes idle in the city, and
$4,000 women earning only an average Of
So A per week. The salary of the Sher-
if was given at $3.50. 0OO-of Clerk $780,
600, &c.
An address was read on the duty of the
Government to protect the industrial clas-
ses: When the Government fails in that
duty it should be set aside or overthrow,
John Halbert read a preamble and reso-
luton, among which were:
"WHEREAs, We wish to avoid all out
rage on the persons or property of any.
and deprecate violence and injustice in any
form, and we only demand the neeessaries
of life for ourselves and families, not as
objects of charity, but as law abiding cIti-
zens, whose right it is to demand these Of
the Government which we have always
supported:
"ResOEved, That we will il this our time
of need supply ourselves and our families
with proper shelter and the necSssaries OF
life; and we will send all our bills for the
same to the City Treasury to be liquidat-
ed, until such time as We shall obtain
work and pay for all our work.
THAT We demand-Work now, and pay
tor work, and the abolition of the contract
system.
That to prevent money panics we de-
mand the enactment of a law that shall
limit the accumulations of any individual
that is, a law of graduated taxation
which shall prevent any or men being able
to lock up our circulating medium"
The resolutions were adopted, after
which a number of addresses were made
and the meeting adjourned. Workingmer
should demand and see hat Government
attends to its legitimate business and no
assume powers and become the robber o
the laboring men. Let Government keel
within its constitutional and just limits
and worklngmen in this country need no
ask or demand assistance from authority

NEAR twelve years have elapsed since
specie disappeared from circulation IN this
country, and in its place came government
paper irredeemable & deprecated. Since
the conclusion Of the war the Presidential
messages have annually recommended the
resumption of specie payments. The Ad-
ministrAtion desired no resumption, 9TH
erwise their detestable fractional cur
rency would have been redeemed and sill
yer change taken its place. This would
have been a step in the right direction.
Instead of this, however, the shinplasters.
have been issued continually. The fact
is this Administration and the policy of
the party in power is run wholly in the
interest Of the favored few. The labor
and business interests of the country are
sacrificed to their grasping desires. La

struck them. They tried to reach timber.
but the trail was lost In the drifting snow
and they went into camp beneath q rocky
blut. An attempt was made to kindle q
FIRE with dry weeds and willows, but the
wind was too fierce, and the party wrap
ped up in their blankets. leaving The
mules and horses to shift for Themselves.
Toward midnight the storm increased. the
wagon cover was blown away. and the

hrewood of the wheels. They croached
around the fire, but it was impossible to
keep warm without seorching the cloth
ing from the body. Breakfast was cooked
with the wagon bed, The food and wbis-
key were distributed, and the party scat
tered IN search of the stock, agreeing to
meet on the south fork of the Solomon
