trolla;,le. These Inep were, there
fore. more Aindrarce tllan aid 10 the
officers IN charge. Two men were dead
drunk WHEN tie boats left the Europe
with the salvage crew. Back said IS he
passed under the stern Of the steamer

Washington, april 31-ln aIiusion
having been made 10 President Grant
about = compromise Of the financial
measures that would lie acceptable TO
both sides. he replied that he dld not
know what force was INTENDED! to apply
20 the term compromise, unless it was
an agreement 20 carry out the pledges Of
the country. That might be considered
a compromise 10y those who originally
defeated every proposition offered dur
ing the discussion in Congress, ard by
50 agreeing have reason to believe such
legislation wou!l meet his anproTal. 1!
has been said that lie promised, in his
last annual message, 20 heartily support
any measure tina: Congress might decide
upon. He did not intend any sach con-
to be put on his language. Ii he
bad not made himself understood his
more recent message would clear UP
Ike ambiguity. One thing he
TO make plain. During his
he had been for carrying
out the solemn pledges Of tie Govern
nent e: the earliest day possible, and a
return to specie basis and establish
ment Of our currency on gold and silver
had been uppermost In his mind when
ever he sent to Congress his annual
messages. He had not said what kind |
Of bill he would approve. 1t was his
earnest hope that Congress would dis
pose of the question Of the redistribu-
lion of the twenty-five million dollars
currency with FIVE million dol
lars Of notes belonging to broken banks
and banks in liquidation in the South
and West. These amounts ought
10 furnish for the present all
hat was asked for, and he had
been assured since his veto of the
nance bill that the New England banks
we're anxious to reduce their circulation,
nasmuch SIS bonds now held for their
circulation would then be released, and
vould furnish them with a larger cur
ency capital for loan than they now
rave. Our securities are worth in legal
enders I6 and II cents above par, and
rational banking notes were bound to
,e secured under the existing law. which
5 also much sacrifice to banking capital.
lie did not wonder that New England
avis nara arxiars fy cancel their notes
nd sc; other bonds; in fact, this sug-
estion came to him eaaly last Fall, DUR
ng the stringeucy in the money market,
nd he thought it worth calling the at
-ntion Of Congress to it in his last mes
age. Since then he had heard nothing
} change his opinion on the point.
