WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb 24-Tbo
speech of Senator Schurz TO-DAY on the
finances was one of the events of the sns-
sion, and, indeed, unless the balance of the
session shall develop greater interest than
the hrst part, 1t Will have to be the event.
lt Is not necessary to go into synopsis of
the speech. 1t sufhces to say that what
ever of financial logic, of the science of
political economy as applied to monetary
systems, and OF the philosophy of govern
ment as it affects the medium Of com
merce and the accumulation of wealth hv
people, could be condensed into a two
hours speech, was presented in clear. con-
else and often eloquent shape, by the Mis-
souri, Senator. He made little attempt at
replying cateroglcally to the argument of
the infationists He simply replied in
bulk by the preface with which he started,
which was that the lack of advanced logic
displayed by the inf1atlonists in their dis
cussions warranted him at this late stage
of the debate in beginning anew with an
exposition of first principles.
About the middle of his speech, to
which point he had proceeded without
much interruption, the senator discussed
| the lack of confidence in American securi-
ties that prevailed in the moneyed centres
of Europe. Apropos Of which he com
mented on the tendencies of speculation
| begotten by irredeemable and deprecated
| paper currency,i in this connection referring
by evident implication to the Northern
Pacific and other frauds. The senator
used the words 'swindling" and rascal
| ty." These expressions brought Cameron
to his feet with a display of indignation
accountable for only on the hypothesis
| that he considered the application of these
terms IN the senate necessarily personal to
himself. An animated colloquy ensued, in
which Cameron easily got worsted, Shurz' $
delicate allusion to the fact that Cameron
was an old and somewhat wonderfully sue
cessful fnancier himself, bringing down
| the house and galleries.
/ While SchurZ was speaking the galleries
we're crowded till there was hardly stand
ing room, and the floor of the senate was
| filled with members of the house and 9th
ers, who caliel from time.
C0nkling for the first time this session
refrained from writing letters or pairing
his elegant nails, and listened attentively.
Morton sat dryly at his desk, pen in hand,
IJOttlng down from time to time points to
which he intended to reply. Altogether
the scene and the occasion was far more
dramatic than one would think possible
from so prosalc an affair as a senate dis
cussion of finances.
1t is not probable, however, that Schurz
or his logic will ..vert an imitation Of the
currency TO the extent mentioned in last
night report OF my interview with Sena-
Morton. Morton unquestionably has a
clear majority of six or seven on q full
vote in favor of his plan of increasing the
volume Of currency to eight hundred mil
lion dollars, and somewhat larger major
ity with him against any measure looking
substantially towards resumption.

PI1CVeniee Correspondent New York POst.l
Ricciotti Garibaldi has lately made love
match of the most decided character. In other
words, having become attached to young
English girl, who reciprocsted his attach
ment, and the cruel papa having refused his
consent, he cut the Gordian knot by run
ming away with her. It is very unfor-
tuuate that GaribaldPs sons, like 50 many
Young Italians, were brought up to no bust
ness or profession. Riccioti could not live
in London or carry on his courtship without
money, and having none, he drew upon
his father, who could not meet the bills with
ont a decided sacrifice. Accordingly he de-
cided to sell the beautiful yacht presented to
him some wears ago by the Duke of Sutherland.
The yacht was sent to Genoa, but the friend
who concluded the bargain and received the
price of the yacht, some SIC, 900, decamped,
money and all, for Columbia's happy shores.
The bills, in the meanwhile became due,
and Garibaldi was obliged to borrow
the money from the Bank Of Naples, mort
gaging his house and farm at Caprera, the only
property he possesses, as security. The friends
Of the General instantly opened, at Genoa, .
subscription for his benefit, which, however, he
begged to have discontinued. The yacht was
bought by the King, and the money paid to
the agent chosen by Garibald himself. The
Government, or at least the King, has again
and again endeayored to come to the aid Of
the man whom he would delight to honor !;
but Garibaldi refuses positively TO receive any
thing at the hands of the King or his Minis
ters It is hoped, however, that means has
Teen found ofrepSying him the sum Of money
out of which he has been cheated, and ct the
same time Of respecting his preiudiees. A
bill viii be brought before Parliament early IN
the auproaehing session, making provision ior
bis support. This gift VIII be made By the
nation, and from his country he need not re-
fuse so small q payment on the great debt she
owes him. The General, who has several times
been elected to Parliament, but always re-
mad to accent the honor, consents to be re-
inrned this wear on condition that he shall
only take his seat when he considers Il neees-
sary. He has been elected.
