The Republicans of the Greenvi!Ie

chagrined at the misrepresentation of
the condition of the State by Senator
Patterson at Washington. Judge
Cooke, DR.. Latimer. Republican can.
didate for Congress. and Mr.. Runion,
County Auditor and editor OF the
Greenville Republican, have all, in re-
ply to questions of the Greenville
Ne,Ds, deprecated the introduction of
troops to keep order. They say there
never has been since the war better
understanding than there is now be.

1t would be we'll if other Republicans
in this State of good sense and good
feeling, and who have the good of all
CLASSES at heart, would follow this good
example and speak out the truth,
which, in this emergency, is much
needed.

piece OF scantling and axe, Joseph aud

stealthily, and thus secured the ad-

FINANCIAL PROSPECTS

rRopApuIrY THAT FINAL VOTE WILL BE a,atp REAchhp
IN THE SENATE THIS wEEk-Ihh fhoDAD''"
ACTION OF THE PRESIDENT.
Ipy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuSE.l
1you,~,rov March CIT is hoped that the
son.o will vote ON the remaining propositions con-
ta;ned in the Finance Committees Currency DILL
,enorted last Monday, and upon all amendments
that have now or may be offered to 1t, during the
present week though nobody would be surprised IL
another month were TO slip away and the last DAYS
90 Anrl we're 70 find honorable Senators still laying
aoyn their fundamental principles of finance and
arpuine that the only way TO make money plenty III
every mans pocket, is TO print IT more
rapidly. But if the Senate stands by Its
vote of last Thursday, as it probably WILL and does
not reverse It's decision before gwen, IN regard TO
unrestricted free banking which is generally looked
upon as final, some general conclusions may now be
reached. The House, as it is well understood,ls 10
,mbued with wildcat" initiation theories that
there is no telling how far it would if it had an
opportunity Tho country must, therefore look to
the Senate as the more conservative body for pro-
lection The future amount of currency, whether
il be that issued by the Treasury or by the National
hanks will be Just as great the Senate Will agree
TO- The Senate by its vote on thursday last, hXlhg
the amount of legal-tendeT notes at 40OOOOOOO has
pronounced on that subject. No very large BODY OF
Senators will vote to add another dollar beyond TINS
10 the greenback circulation
What the Senate will do in regard to providing
for the future redemption OF any Of these legal
tenders il is now more difficult to say. The lniia-
tioniss are averse TO any provision OF TINS k1hd'
but few of them may consent TO 1t If the time is
long enough deferred. The Senate has also pro-
nounced as decisvely upon the passage Of an urre-
stricted free banking law. 1t is possible that the
pressure that has since been brought to bear may
cause change of one two votes, but still II is
hoped that the Senate will stand to its record on
this issue and vote down Mr.. LogaD's amendment
The next proposition is TO increase the amount OF Ma
tonal bank circulation by the issue of S4600000 of
new currency to new banks in the West and South.
This seems to have about the same strength as the
amendment passed last Thursday, and will, there
fore il is expected be agreed 10. This will give the
country S4OOOOOOOO of each kind of currency and it
is hardly probable that any provision will be made
for retiring greenbacks as the new bank notes are
put out.
The financial opinions of the President, as far as
he has expressed them, have already been given in
THE TRIBUNE. 1t is believed that he would sign a
bill the leading features of which have been indi-
Gated above but there is good reason FOR the pre-
sumption that he would veto one that looked to any
greater imitation.

THE DISTRICT INVESTIGATION.

EVIDENCE OF CORRUPT DEALINGS BETWEEN con-
TRACTORS AND DISTRICT OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
SION BY RING ORGAN THAT THE BOARD OF
PUBLIC WORKS WAS OPERATED UPON.
IBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUEE.l
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Peter Mcnamara was an
unwilling witness before the District Investigating
Committee yesterday. He has been favorite con-
tractor with the Board of Public Works, and did
not wish to say anything that would reflect upon
the members of that Board or upon "other good
mepp Mcnamara was one Of the first to get a con-
tract from the Board, having been ordered to
Grade and macadamize Pennsylvania-ave. from
First to Eighth-st., east in the Fall of 1871 lie was
very anxious to get this contract for it was prota-
BILE work at board prices and he left no stone un-
turped TO secure it. Joseph Carroll was member
oftbe lower house of the District Legislature and
told Mcnamara that he and George r. Quick, "a
member of the Upper House, could control the con-
tract in question He therefore agreed to pay Car
roll 81 OOO and through him, TO Gulick, $1,000 II
thew could place il in his hands Whether they dld
or not he got it. and Carroll his note at ten
days for $1,000, which he afterward paid ut the
bank
Before Mcnamara advanced far with his work
the Inacadamizng was taken away from him as the
Board had agreed with De Golyer and Mcclellan OF
Chicago TO put down wooden pavement on the
street-a contract that was purchased for SloO,oVo
bonus. About a month after this Carroll went to
Mcnamara and asked him for 81 900 more McNa-
mara thought that IA he he had lost part OF
hn contract he ought not TO pay any more
