! LATER.--The proposed resumption of
silver payment by the Treasury caused
many applications to-day for conversion of
legal tenders and fractional currency int o
coin, but the Assistant Treasurer has not
yetreceiVed any instructions frem Washing
ton. A prominent officer iu the Sub Treas.
ury said 100000 ounces OF fine silver were
purchzsedin this city early this week and
bad been forwarded to the mint at PhIla-
delphia, it would furnish shout Sl24,000,
the difference occasioned by lilo alloy go
ing to Offset the cost of coinage. The
Superintendent of the Assay Office said he
was unaware Of the purchase Of silver and
did not think it could have taken place
without his knowledge. From these state
ments some think it looks very much as il
the resumption of specie payment might
not turn out to be as greas farce as

WAsHIEaToN, Oct. 25.-The Secretary of
the Treasury, re.stive to the contemplated
issue of silver coin to take the place of cur
rency in making payments by the depart
menf, says be does not know exactly how
much viii be paid out and expects it will
be convenient for him next week 10 issue
about 100000 in the regular course of
business, but it will depend on circumstan.
ces; if gold should 60 up silver would not
be paid out nor will it il sold again to BAN
kers for speculative purposes. 1t is
not to be expected the Treasury will begin
the 1st of November to pay out silver coin
for every purpose and thus exhaust imme-
diately the entire amount held by the gov
ernment. One illustration Of the manner
of making such payments was presented by
| the Secretary o-day, who said that if a per-
| son should present check for $265.40, the
chances were that he would receive five
dollars and forty cents of the amount IN
silver. The determination of the Depart
ment is to issue silver to whatever extent
it eau be conveniently done, and IS there
is bullion sufficient to coin about $780,
600 within week, this will be used as a be-
ginning. Ao.taf -tCg
Some Live Questions.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-As to who will
be Speaker of the next House of Represen.
tatives, who win be chairmen of the prin-
cipal committees, what will be the COM
plexion of the committees, will those
re elected members who were connected
with the Credit Mobilier scandal be made
to take back seats, will the salary grab
section of the appropriation bill be repealed
| and ike subjects, there are as many ideas
and theories advanced by prominent men
and members of Congress as there are men
who entertain decided opinions, and who
have been heard from In relation to these
matters. 1t seems to be generally conceded
that no combination or set OF combinations
| that are likely to be gotten up will defeat
the election of Mr.. Blaine for Speaker; but
SIS to the Credit Mobilier men and their
chances to again obtain important chair
manships, there is great doubt in the minds
of nearly everybody.
General Butler is reported as having de.
MED the truth of the published statement
that he is trying to get the Republican
members of the next House to hold
caucus and declaIe against giving places on
leading committees TO any members impi-
Gated in the Credit Mobilier transactions.
| Nevertheless, be nor nobody else who
knows anything about it, denies that such
proposition will be made in caucus, and .
strong effort made to adopt it. A Apromi-
nent Congressman recently remarked that
candidates for the Speskership would be
glad if some such decision by caucus could
| be adopted, so as to .relieve whoever is
elected Speaker Of the trouble he would
naturally encounter If he were left to decide
