ALEXANDER ii. STEPHENS s FIRST SPEECH. =
A Washington despatch to the Boston Ad-
rerfiser SAYS there was great curiosity IN the
house on Thursday, as well rs in the crowd
ed galleries, to hear Alexander ii. Stephens
on the salary grab. lie stood in his place,
the first front seat at the right OF the nam
aisle. lie had specially arrayed himself for
the occasion in black dress suit, and this,
with black velvet cap, gave to his white
face an almost corpse-like appearance. lie
stood throughout leaning on crutch, and
spoke in a shrill voice. The entire house
swarmed close about him, and for halt an
hour there was scarcely n movement or
sound on any side. There were IN the crowd
men like Messrs. Dawes, Scofield and their
associates, who had labored here through
the legislation of the war. and those who
had worked in the Confederate Congress;
There were Generals Garfield, Butler and
many who fought for the flag, and more
than a score who had marched under the
Confederate banner, and all crowded to-
gether about this skeleton man. the second
officer Of the Confederacy. Every one pres
ent seemed to be running over the whole
history of the war rs it stood reelected IN
thepersonages gathered about Mr.. stephens.
1t was not his speech 50 much as his reia-
tons and surroundings that attacfed The

SENATOR SUMNER ON THE FINANCIAL QUEs-
TON Senator Sumner addressed the Senate
on Thursday in favor of his bill substituting
compound interest for legal tender notes.
He SAID he would support any measure
to secure an early return To specie payment.
lie thought our currency artificial rather
than natural. 1t could not travel abroad,
and the only remedy is to make our curren
CIV cosmopolitan, that it may lie aided by
the currency Of the world. lie thought
Wall street in its orgies and IN its saloons
of speculation, which were 50 many hells,
was quickened in health by oar national
policy. lie would make our currency as
good as gold, and the gold of the world
would come to our assistance. Imitation
was death to business; contraction was the
proper remedy. The bill he offered receiy
ed the encouragement Of prominent fnan
ciers and business men it had been approx
ed by the Boston Board of Trade and the lead
ing newspapers of the East and West. The
substitution proposed by his bill was in the
nature ofcontraction, but without taking a
dollar from the people money would become
more plentiful and the present enormous
rates of interest would fall to u normal con-
dition. Interest would cease to be oppres-
siye, and money would Aow in the regular
channels of business. The agricultural,
manufacturing and commercial interests
would receive NEW life. The ruling price
of agricultural products is fixed by foreign
markets, and while the farmer receives but
little more now for his products than he
did ten years ago, he has to pay from fifty
to seventy five per cent higher for boots
and shoes and other necessary articles. The
present disordered currency owed its origin
to Congress. The exigency of war has
ceased now and Congress should improve
our financial condition

Nave Towards Rctrenehmenf.

Mr. Willard of Vermont offered in the
House. ON Tuesday, a resolution which was
passed. instructing the civil service com
mission to inquire whether any reduction
can be made in the cost of civil SERVED, both
in number of officials and the compensation
maid to them, without impairing the
efficiency of the service. and also to the ex-
pedieney of providing that officials IN the
civil service shall receive only such a salary
as shall he fixed by law.
This resolution is aimed at the excess oil
officials, which undor btedly exists IN some
branches of the service above what the work
to be performed demands at the unwieldy
organizations in several of the departments,
and tn an increase in the hours OF labor in
all the departments atNW ashington, with &
view to A general reduction of the force OF
clerks The field thus opened for retreneh-
ment is, doubtless, pretty broad one, and
will bear working. The mead of the prae-
tiee of such wholesale economy is apparent,
and all practical measures having that end
in view will be popular with the masses,
though, doubtless. unsay0ry at the depart
