pointed to present to tue President tho petition
signcd by about $500 banlscrs, capitalists, and
scnnto Finance bill, Or my other bill tonding to

tay. Resides tho COMMITTEE thoro were present

A. Low, III Lila address, said TINT thoy wautcd
veto to avert what they regard as Il 1noHt disas-
trouB blow to tho interests Of tho country. 1Ie
was followed by 8. 5. Chtttondon. The Prosi
dent, IN his reply, said ho Ind watched tho
progross Of the. bill through Congress with moro
interest than he Ind any other measure bofore
that body Bnce llo Ind hoeu President. He hRd
ut all tinnoB been entirely
FREE IN TIE ExpnEssIoNs or 1t1B VIEWS,
and wae always opposed to expansion without
redemption, mud III favor Of free banking, accom-
panied with such Legislation as would carry out
tho Pledges OF tho Republican party in the diroc-
tion OF tho resumption OF Rpecio payments; but
he lad to look at tbfs matter uttin different
from the views Of this Committee. They show
worry veil whnt they want, and mny Imagine as he
might, wcro ho citizon Of Now York, that the
whole country wants what they do. President
Grant continued tint tho Chairman OF d similar
committee from Boston had called on him ycster-
dry. II ho ever could bo in favor of in1lation 1t
would be from the effects Of such arguments as
that gentleman advanced against It; but Tint
position was unlike tho OH, Of this Committdb
THE GENTLEMAN. FROM nosroN, :.
In behalf of those whom he represented, started
out with Q condemnation Of what he (the Proni-
dcnt) had always believed to be right, speaking
as II ho wero wrong. They opposed tho pur-
chase Of Unitel States bonds with tie Burp1uB
from tho United Statos TronBury, and II be Ind
acted ns tho Boston Committee wanted him to do
he would have kopt such surplus In the Treasury
until there WAS not groenbaok in circulation.
These bonds Wero purchased at hia own diroc-
tl0n. Another argument was usod in tho BoB-
ton memorial, that the issue Of ,groenbaoks WIZ
OF doubtful legality. and was to be leporod. and
had to be sustained by baro majority Of ono iii
tito supreme Court nB a ar.lnoa6uro. In coll
clusion tho President repeated that his views On
this question woro already known as against in
tho redemption Of pledges.
Tho President related to tho Cabinet tho par-
ticulars OF tho Interview. In this connection
the Senate Finance bill waB discussed, tho pres-
dent explaining bis ylews at; length, but what
they Were cannot he nsoertnined. It Is tho be-
lief goneralty TINT the President will approve the
bill.
