Washington.
A Washington correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune states that sit is more than ever
probable that the law converting Congress on
the 4th of March will be re-enacted, since it
is understood that many Democrats are in
favor Of it. By its re-enactment they viii be
enabled to proceed at once to the work of re-
pealing or attempting to repeal such measures
as have been passed by the Republicans as
are obnoxious to them. Anticipating proba-
bic opposition from the Republicans, the
advisability Of preventing the passage
of one or two important APP
preparation bills, with a siew to forcing
the success of the desired bill, is being dis
cussed. On the other hand, the Republicans
are devising legislation which will make the
Democratic House powerless for mischief,
such as q measure to authorize the Secretary
of the Treasury to borrow money for current
expenses in case Of failure in Congress to
appropriate, and others Of the sort. II such
| q bill should pass at the next session, the
Forty-fourth Congress could not repeal it, as
the two branches would be entirely different
| in political complexion. and Republican Sem
ate would be in existence to defend and pro-
tect the work of Republican majority in the
Forty-third Congress"
Fernando Wood, Gen. Banks, s. s. Cox and
ex-Gov. Walker, of Virginia, are prominently

of the next House Of Representatives.
| At Cabinet meeting on the 7th inst. the
President expressed himself more at length
on the "third term" than ever before. He
in the different States showed conclusiyely
that the people were not influenced by
the wild cries on this subject. He
pointed to what he considered two notable
instances in proof of his assertion. The
South Carolina Republican Convention had
emphatically pronounced for him for third
term, and its candidate for Governor had
been triumphantly elected in the face OF
enormous odds against him. On the other
hand. in the Uti district, in New York,
where the Republicans had always bad an
overwhelming preponderance, Ellis II. Rob-
erts insisted upon the Congressional Conven-
ton which nominated him pronouncing
against third term, and Roberts was de.
feated.
Gen. Spinner. Treasurer Of the United
States, has completed his annual report. BE
again advances arguments in favor of issuing
interchangeable bonds bearing 3.65 per cent
interest He thinks that the chief objection
to metallic currency is its lack Of elasticity
He believes the rate of interest Of the pro-
posed bonds will be high enough to sell them
to the absorption of any surplus currency a
any time, while it will be enough to force
return of the bonds in exchange for Iegs
tender notes when the business Of the country
demands more currency. The rate of interes
at one cent day on the hundred dollar
because it is easy Of computation. He argues
that the conversion of the IS and 6s int
low rate bonds in the event of the condition
of the currency demanding such conversion
would result in the material reduction Of tn,
interest on the public debt, and make it pay
able entirely in national currency at home ant
not in gold to foreigners.
