ca question against further imitation and in favor
OF taxing initiatory measures Tor the redemption
OF the legal-tendsrs. He was committed to no
plan, but the proposition to authorize the convcr-
sion OF legal-tenders into some bond which was at
par in gold, the ten-iortles, for instance, which
we're now quoted at 99l!, gold, struck him as Ju-
dlcious. A bull was passed authorizing the plac-
ing in the Supreme Court room busts OF the late
Chief Justices fancy and Chase. resolution
was submitted by Mr.. Davis instrutting the at
torney general to communicate to the Senate all
information in his Office relative to the sale OF
government prope ty at llarpers Ferry and pend
iug suits in regard thereto. At the suggestion OF
Mr. Edmunds, who said it might not be expedlent
to make public some OF the iniormation the reso-
luton was reielfed to the committee ON Judiciary.
The Senate adjourned until Monday.
In the House, as usual on FridAy4, the business
was confined chiefly to private bulls. Among
those passed was Lili reported by MIR. O'Brien
granting a pension lo Mrs. Eliza McCncken,
widow OF Robert Met rackcu, late acting assistant

There are the best of reasons for believing that

Office He evidently has more confidence in
ths guns of the United States Army lhan in
Stale courts. The guns have usually been on
the winning side in these local disputes. But
the President aud Attorney General Williams
manifest no disposition 10 interfere. They
coolly tell Davis that there is no occasion for
the interposition which he Graves, and an anx-
ious L. 5. Marshal is politely told 10 mind his
business and keep his iiugers out Of this domes
tic QUARREL. The whole proceeding, 40 far a,
