Latest News from Washington.
WASHINGTON, February "a, 1874.
The Financial Question.

now in the eighth week of its discussion,
was renewed in the Senate to-day, and gives
every indication Of continuing for some time
longer. 1t is impossible to form any idea as
to what conclusion Congress will come
to, and leading senators admit that
they are in the dark themselves
as to the result. There was very large
audience to-day, it being known that 4Schur z
intended TO make speech, and that senator,
taking ground strongly in opposition to in
fation, made what must be considered a very
skilful as we'll as earnest oration, paying great
attention to the subject of increased specula-
ton and stock-gambling, which he asserted
would result from imitation. schurz does
not think, by that, the West and the
South would be benefited in the least by an
increase. He argued that the bulk of 1t
would be used in two ways-one, by paying
the Government expenses, aud The other by
the purchase of bonds in New York and
that the only way southern State would
get its share would be By purchase; and the
South would have to offer her products to
the markets where the additional cur
rency was. The capital of the South,
be said, had been diminished since
the war by very bad government in seye-
raj of the States, and the deficit there
could not be made up by promises to pay.
The whole speech, which was of three
hours length, contained the most emphatic
utterances against imitation. He based
much Of it on the financial systems
of Europe, even going to China fol
authority and was replied to by Nor
ton, who made a forcible argument, in
which he denied that the theories Of old
European countries could be applied to this
young and growing nation, now. being sc
rapidly developed, and argued that on ac'
count OF the increasing demands of business
the currency should be increased. He de.
tended the present financial system, and said
the country had prospered under 1t more
than ever before. He argued that specie
payments could not be maintained now, as
we owe about thirteen hundred mil
lions of dollars in Europe-nine hundred
millions in Government bonds, and fou,
hundred millions in railroad and Other
securities. The interest on these had to be
paid in gold, thus draining the country O
sixty or seventy millions of dollars ever,
wear.

By a comparison of the number of births
given in cur last statistical item for 1928
with the number of deaths in the same period,
it will be observed that there is an excess of
the latter over the former of 81 or upwards of
9 per cent, and although this was about 8 per
, 1874-04-22

cent less than the previous year 1871-72,
which was upwards of II per cent, yet it does
not shew any thing ike an actual increase, but
on the contrary, indicates too plainly a steady
decrease in the islands population.

CHRISTIANSTED, Aprj1 22nd 1874

RAINFALL in Christiansted from Ills April as
measured by DR.. Neumann for tie Meteorological In.
stitution, Copenhagen, in a gage furnished hin for
that purpose.
This gage, which is of very simple construction,
and almost completely preventing evaporation, makes
it possible to measure even the smallest fall of rain
and dew. The measure is given in millimetres, one
miIemetre equal to .O3937 inch, or IN vulgar fraction
aboat l-25 Of an English inch. The water is mea-
sured every morning at 8 o'clock.

Wednesday Night.
The Union, in a sarcastic paragraph, says it
has received a private warning to moderate its
discussion on the Septennat. The Chambord
organ objects that the prolongation Of powers
on November 20 was not the S%eptennat as
defined by the Due de Broglie before the Com
mitree of Thirty. The Septennat will not exist
until organized, and the precise object of or
ganization is to establish a power not indissolu-
bly, connected with the Marshai's person. The
Union is therefore still resolved to use the
right of discussion, and to speak its mind
freely.

Interesting Items.

New York, 81. The following card from
Mr. Tilton is published
l respectfully call public attention to the
fact that though the Plymouth Church com
mittee have this morning published eight or
ten columns of the irrelevant and desultory
conversation between Mr.. Beecher's counsel
and myself, in the committee room, yet this
volumnous report strangely omts the most
important part of my testimony, namely -
That the criminality which my sworn state
ment charged upon Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er and his religious victim was confessed to
me, not only by herself, but by Mr.. Beecher.
Furthermore, that it was confessed by her and
him to Mr.. Moulton, as the friend and coun-
selor of both; and still further, that Mr..
Moultons office as mediator for four years,
between Mr.. Beecher and me, was based on
the one sole fact Of this pre-existing crimi-
nality between Mr.. Beecher and Mrs. Tilton
This statement / made to the committee with
my utmost plainness of speech.
furthermore stated to the committee that
Mr.. Beecher's apology to me, instead of grow
ing out OF any circumstances with which Mrs.
Woodruff was connected, was communicated
to me by Mr.. Beecher nearly six months be-
fore l ever met, knew or saw Mrs. Woodruff.
The omission of these facts from the COM
mi,tee's report forces me to lay them before
the public as necessary part of my case.

houses in that favored spot; and still the
question Is asked by some who journey thith-
er, why don't some one build a hotel or
boarding.hous on the island2" just because
the stockholders in the purchase, had no such
design. 1t was intended as place of sum-
mer houses for families, where they might go
and build cottages and remain for few weeks
of rest, and not as place of summer resort
for the travelling public. ANY departure
from this rule will mar the design. There
are some forty or fifty cottages, and more are
building. Several are quite beautiful in their
design, and elaborate, costing some two
thousand dollars, but the most are cottages
that were built at an expense of from $50 to
$500. One or two families take boarders,
simply for the accommodation of those per-
