HARD CASH.

from the 81. LOUIS hepuDll0dH'
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Sherman sounded the first chink Of hard
money by a resolution, as follows:
Resolved that it is the duty of Con-
gress during the present session to
adopt definite measures to redeem the
pledge made in the act approved March
Is, 1869, entitled An act tosirengthen
the public credit, as follows: "And
the United States also sOlemnly pledg-
ed its faith to make provision at the ear
Hest practicable period for the redemp-
ton Of the United States notes in coin,
and the committee on finance is direct
ed to report 10 the Senate at as early a
day as practicable such measures as
will not only redeem this pledge of the
public faith but will also furnish cur
renoy of uniform value in gold or it's
equivalent, and so adjusted as to meet
the changing wants of trade and COM
merce,"
The resumption sentiment is very
strong in the present Congress as was
shown in the House yesterday by the
adoption of Kelley's amendment to the
Senate bill providing for the redemp-
ton of the loan of 1858; but there is
the widest diversity Of opinion as to
the method of resuming. No two
members seem to agree upon plan.

THE BOSS TWEED OF WASHING
TON RECONSIDERED.
from the 81. Louis Republican.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-There is re-
newed agitation at the White House.
In the Senate to-day, in executive ses-
sion. a motion was made to consider
the confirmation of Boss Shepherd. 1t
seems that there was much dissatisfac-
ton nj tie manner in which this con-
fmation was rushed through oR Mon
day, and in view of the strong feeling
against the nomination Of Williams it
is thought that at least a show of de-
liberation should be had in confirming
the other nominations. The prospect
now is that fight over Shepherd will
be added to the complication already
existing between the President and the
Senate. The motion to consider is said
to have been made by Republican
Senator.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ia motion
was made in the executive session Of
the Senate to-day, by Mr.. Johnston,
the Democratic Senator from Virginia,
to reconsider Mr.. Shepherds confrma-
ton. There is, however, no earthly
prospect Of accomplishing anything
more by this action than to delay the
confirmation for day or two. The
Senate will not attempt to investigate
anything, especially rumors, and no
charges have been formally prefer red
against him.

THE FARMERS, aOVEMENT-REPUB-
LUCAN ALARM
From the Chicago Times.


NEW YORK, Dec l0.-A Washing
ton special Of Dec. 8 says: sThe Re
publican managers are very much exer-
cised over the revolt of the farmers and
producers against middlemen and spec
ulators. This is especially true of the
West and South, in which SO large
number of oranges are beingorganlzed.
Iowa Senators and Representatives are
evidently anxious to lead off in some
action which may drive their party to
face toward the new issue. The spec
tacle of Wright's speech on the salary
reduction bill is proof Of this anxiety.
The appointment of Mr.. McCraryto the
Craftsmanship of the Committeeon Rail
ways, and the strong men appointed
with him, is an evidence OF
Speaker Blaine's sagacity, but still
more of the feeling in the country. Mr..
McCrary Will probably offer resolu-
ton directing his committee to make a
thorough inquiry into the economic
condition and administration OF the
several railroads which have been char
tered and subsidized direct by Con-
press. These roads embrace very
large amount of railroad mileage west
Of the Mississippi river. The inquiry
suggested will cover also an examina-
ton of the cost Of construction and
control, as a basis wherein to measure
the charges of freight and travel. There
are other branches of such inquiry
which will prove of Importance. In all
probability the inquiry will be ordered
The Senate Committee ON Transports
ton Routes will ask authority before
the holidays to go south, and while
there will make special effort to heal
the testimony as to the Georgia and
St. Philip and New Orleans canal pro
iects,"

TsEE DEMOCRACY.


WASHINGTON. Dec. IA promi-
nent Democratic Senator said to-day
that the Democrats, in nominating
Fernando Wood for Speaker of the
House and Mr.. Thurman as President of
the Senate pro tenn, had a definite object
inyiew, and that was a preliminary move
ment towards the thorough organiza-
ton OF the Democratic party for the
future. At consultation between
leading Democrats some days ago
it was decided, after proper consider
alton of the subject, that an earnest
effort ought to be made to reorganize
the party, and that no more opportuHe
moment could possibly present itself
than now, at the organization Of new
Congress. 1t was agreed that an East
ern man should be nominated for
Speaker. and one from the West for
President pro TEN of the Senate, and
this was carried out by the selection of
Mr.. Wood for the first position and Mr..
Thurman for the second. The same
authority says that the Democrats in
Congress are determined henceforth to
be united, and endeayor to build up
their party to its former strength, be-
iieving that as a Democratic party sue
cess can be achieved in the next Con-
gressional and Presidential elections.

CnNYERTIBLE BONDS.

The scheme Of accommodating the
volume Of currency to the wants Of the
country, 10y making greenbacks con-
vertible into bonds bearing 3.65 per
cent per annum, finds place in most
OF the financial bills brought before
Congress thus far. MIR. Morrill, of Yer
mont Incorporates it IN his bill under
the name Of loan certificates" Nheth-
er it would work well in practice, ana
effect the elasticity desired, isan untried
problem. for which we have few prece-
dents. or even analogies beyond the
ebb and flow of gold itself according to
the laws of demand and supply. The
aim Of the project is to reduce the vol
ume Of greenbacks during the idle
months Of summer, by their conversion
into bonds. and the reconyersion of
these bonds into greenbacks again each
fall as the busy season approaches.
The question that confronts us on
the very Threshold ia: VIII the thing
work at all? VIII 1866 per cent inter-
est he any inducement to retire the
greenbacks? VIII not the greenbacks
be tempted to Wal street as usual, by
rates Of interest much higher than 800
per cent? VIII not spectators and
gamblers continue as heretofore to out
bid the government rates by three or
four to one? Under present clrcum-
stances there has been nothing to pre-
vent any individual or banker from IN
vesting his greenbacks whenever he has
a surplus. in government bonds at five
or six per cent; and practically he can
at present reconvert them into green
backs by open sale whenever he wishes.
OF course there is some little loss in
this double transaction, but
not enough to reduce six
Or even five per cent interest to the
proposed 3.G5 per cent. Money always
can do better il this country; and that
is the reason why the vast majority Of
our securities are held in Europe. where
the interest rates are lower. Congress
may attempt to obviate the difficulty
by prohibiting the National Banks
from paying interest on deposits, but
Spectators can readily organize their
own banks without circulation and
which Congress cannot interfere with.
So this favorite project might after all,
fall to the ground AS fat as Secretary
Richardson's fve-dollar silver re-
sumption.

An EnUCATIONAI. SCmEME.

WASHINGTON. Dec. lO.-The House
Committee on Education and labor will
tomorrow report bill which passed in
tbe House and failed in the Senate last
Congress, providing for the appropria-
ton Of the proceeds arising from the
sale of the public lands, to public
school purposes. The plan is that one;
half the amount annually realized shall
he divided between the States, and that
the other half shall be funded in the
five ner cents, the interest to be divided
annually. If the sales average in the
future as they have in the past, the
amount to be paid to each school dis
trict in the United States will be about
twelve dollars annually, which, 1t IS
calculated, will infuse new life INTO the
cause Of public education. The bill
will doubtless pass in the House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-Inhuential
men from all parts of the country are
Joining in a common effort to induce
the President to remove Secretary
Richardson. They are free to complain
that he is utterly unfit for his position;
that he knows nothing whatever of
finance; that his every act since he has
assumed the duties of the Office has
been mistake; that he is running the
finances of the country; and that unless
he is speedily removed, he will do more
damage than can be repaired in many
years. The President, who has I'M
shaken confidence in Richardson, hears
all that these gentlemen, who comprise
the leading and successful business
men in the country, have to urge, in
silence, and makes no sign, while Rich
ardson is serenely confident.
