TnE r1NANcR QUESTION.


WASHINGTON, April 8O.-The Senate
Finance Committee at special meeting
this morning had the House currency
bill under consideration. The Commit.
tee agreed that 1t might be amended by
omiung the section which proposes TO re-
peal the present law graduating the pro-
portion Of the circulation to the bonds
deposited according the amount Of the
capital OF the various National Banks.
An interchange Of views disclosed to a
certainty that the Committee will recon-.
mend that all reserves for circulation
should be abolished. The other impor.
tant questions involved In this bill and
the general finance subject are yet 10 be
acted upon by the Finance Committee.
Aa = THR STEEL DUTY. = & +
Arguments were resumed today before
the Committee on Ways aud Means By
the manufacturers Of edge tools and other
workers in steel In favor OF a specific duty
on that article instead Of the advalorem
duty now imposed. One gentleman sug-
gested that this was the only way oil get
ting rid OF the annoyances Of the New
York custom house, where reapprsise-
ment is required on nimportations at cost
often dollars, and there was no chance oil
getting the money returned. Another
said the manufacturers interested would
be satafed with . specific duty Of 81
per cent per pound on all kinds. ol
steel. A New York manufacturer said
the cost OF production was one.half on
labor. A reduction Of duty was asked
that American manufacturers might COM
pete with the Sheffield manufacturers
At the close Of the arguments the com
mittee went into private session.

President Grant Becomes Explicit,

FteSIuent Grant Becomes EXplIClts
NEW YoRK, April 8O.-A dispatch
from Washington says that allusion hay.
ing been made 10 President Grant about
. compromise finance measure that would
be acceptable TO both sides, the President
replied that he didn't know what force
was intended to apply to the term COM
promise, unless It was an agreement TO
carry out tho pledges OF the country.
That might be considered compromise
by those who originally defeated every
proposition offered during the discussion
IN Congress, By so agreeing, they have
reason to believe that such legislation
would meet his approval. It has been
SAID that he promised In his last annual
message to heartily support any measure
that Congress might decide on. He did
not intend any such construction to be
put on his language. II he had not made
himself understood In his recent message,
he would clear up anything like ambigui.
ty., One thing he had endeavored TO
make plain during his administration,
viz: that he was for carrying ont the sol.
emn pledges Of the government OF the
earliest day possible, on a specie basis.
The establishment Of our currency In
gold and silver had been uppermost in
his mind whenever he sent 10 Congress
his annual messages. He had not said
what kind OF q bill he would approve
but 1t was his earnest hope Congress would
dispose OF the question. The redistribu-
tion OF twenty-five million dollars oil bank.
ing currency, with five millions In the
South and West, ought TO furnish for the
present all that was asked for, and he had
been assured since the veto Of the
finance bill that the New England
banks were anxious to reduce their
circulation, inasmuch as the bonds now
held for circulation would be released and
furnish them with q larger currency cap
ital Tor loans than they now had. While
our securities, were worth In legal tenders
16;and II cents above par, and national
banking notes were bound TO be secured
under the existing laws at so much sacri-
fce to the banking capitalist, he didn't
wonder now that New England banks were
anxious 10 cancel their notes and get their
bonds. In TACT this suggestion came to
him early last fall, during the stringency
inisthe money market, and be
thought 1t worth calling the attention Of
Congress to In his last message.
Since then he had heard nothing 10
change his opinion on this point,

In the Country Gentlemen of Jan. 19.
E. NJ. Williams gives his experience
with this clover. He considers it a
very superior grass, and gives several
reasons why he thinks it 30. Now 1 do
not doubt that all Mr.. W. says is true,
but his trial is not long enough. He
sowed the seed with oats In thespring,
and the following year Cast summer)
had the fine crop he describes; but let
him wait till next summer, and if he
sees anything of his Alsike clover, then
his experience does not agree with
mine. / have sown it twice with oats
as Mr.. w. did, in each case getting a
good crop next season. 1t was not,
however, large enough to be very valu-
able for hay, but was much frequented
by bees. / then thought it would per-
petuate itself as white clover does and
be an improvement on that variety, as
1T is much larger, but notwithstanding
the fact that it seeded freely, l have
not in either case seen anything of it
after the year succeeding that when
the seed was sown. / have therefore
made up my mind that if it will give
only one crop before retiring from the
field, then it is not a profitable grass
for me to grow.-C0untry Gentleman.

FOR CONGRESS.

To-day we announce the name of
Col, n. N. Cox, of Williamson, late
Greeley elector, candidate for Con-
gress from this district. Five or six
other gentlemen from various portions
of the district are spoken of in connec-
ton with the same position. We have
heard the names of two of our own
fellow-citiZens mentioned, but have not
been authorized by either to announce
him. We allude to Maj. B. F. Mat
thews, whose political proclivities are
well-known to be Democratic, and Hon.
Noble Smithson, State Senator from
this district, whose political tendencies
are equally well-known to be the re-
verse. Should the latter become a can
didate, he will probably be the only
Republican aspirant from this district,
while there viii be no less than four or
five Democratic candidates. This will
necessitate Democratic convention or
a defeat. We hope every aspirant will
announce himself subject to a conven-
tion.-Pulaski Citizen, March 5.
