annum, so that specie payment may be
brought without oppression to the debtor
class or arrangement of the business OF
the country. Should the theory of the
bill not be realized, Congress will De III
session when the time arrives for the con-
version of the notes into bonds, and can
by legislation relieve the country or banks
from any contraction, arrangement or evil
resulting from this enactment. The bill
was proposed in the spirit of compromise,
having in view such an expansion of the
currency as may be necessary to meet the
demands of the country, and at the same
time bring the currency, by a gradual pro-
cess, up to par value.
Mr.. Morrill, of Vt. said he could not
vote for the report, as he did not believe
the bill proposed to be perfected by it
would satisfy anybody in its practical oper-
ations. He argued that the bill was on
the side of expansion, and said it provided
for the conversion of legal tenders into
bonds after January !, 1873. That clause
would no doubt appreciate the legal ten
ders to some extent, but at the same time
it would depreciate the bonds of the United
States.
Mr.. Jones of New. said it seemed to him
this bill bristled all over with imitation.
He dill not share with the Senator from
Ohio (Sherman) his confidence that legis-
lation would not be changed before JAN
uary, 1873, in such manner as to entirely
ignore every feature of this bill. He did
know that initiation under the bill would
be immediate. There had been great talk
about the resumption of specie payment.
but it was utterly impossible to resume
specie payment and have it permanent,
with this great volume of greenbacks in
circulation. Tie bill proposed to make
the greenbacks redeemable in bonds and
then reissue them. He laid it down as a
proposition which never had been disputed,
that specie payment can never he main
tanned without a contraction of the volume
of the currency. The bill would have the
effect to raise the price of greenbacks a
few per cent, but it would also depreciate
the bonds to small extent. He denied

WATER VS.. COMFORT.

1t would seem an outrageous thing, in the bright,
burning days oisummer, to enter protest against
the use OF water. AS Sidney Smith would say the
thing, however, must be done. Those In charge OF
the arrangements by which erratic dust is kent
In its place and receives its quietus have been far
too liberal In the adaptation of means to the end
The ordinary pedestrian In q narrow street, like
William street, Is in danger OF seeing his pants
receive an Involuntary baptism; the lady with q
new MORE antique or grenadine shudders as the
aspersory venlcle approaches; the gamin delights
In the bath which laves his dirty shins unsolicited
and everybody, save the driver and the gamin Is
impressed with the fact that even in the
dog days there may be too much water
But 1t Is not merely by pedestrians that
this exuberant aqueous generosity Is felt as a
nuisance. Those who have to drive valuable
horses along the pitched avenues OF this city can
very readily say how enhanced Is the danger to
their teams when the dust is converted, BY the
excessive zeal or the water cart into a kind OF
buttery mud, and the driver has to tighten his
mold IN order TO prevent momentarily Imminent
downfall. word Is enough to the wise. The
rose OF the water carts should be reduced by one
half In the apertures; then there would be no

OOONEY'S DOGS.

Mr.. Jules Cooney, who lives in Wooster street,
near BleecKer, owns two dogs, and they are
bloodhounds. He thought he would take them
out for an airing yesterday afternoon. Ere
they had gone far spaniel, belonging to
Barney Mccarthy, OF the Same neighborhood,
darted from the basement and confronted the
hounds. Mr.. Cooneys dogs were lively. but
muzzied with leather straps. Mr.. Barney
McCarthy's spaniel had his mouth untrammeled by
the bandage ordained by law. McCarthy's favorite,
seeing his advantage, took piece Of flesh from the
haunch OF the bloodhound. First blood for the
Mccarthy Cooney was determined but cool. He
took OF the muzzle from the wounded hound. and
thereupOn ensued scene worthy to be recorded.
The huge animal released from The leather straps,
Immediately took the head OF McCarthy's spaniel
In his reeking jaws, ana for q moment there was
watlng and ''gnashing OF teeth" Mr.. Mccarthy
wished to interfere to save his dog, but CoOney
pointed to the bleeding haunch Of his savage pet,
thy's neighbors had gathered and brought to the
scene dozen or more NANCY, ii-mannered
ours. who. directed by their masters, set
upon the remaining muzzled hound. Mr.. Jules
CoOney Was master OF himself and his mas
tin. He coOly unbuckled the muZzle OF
the other hound, who took out terriers eye with
his iangS here, and made brindle bulldogs back
resemble an Egyptian locust there. When the re-
porter left Mr. COOney's dogs were again muzzled
with q nonchalance worthy OF true Taneau; out
Mr. McCarthy's dog seemed TO be good candi-
date for Barren Island as he lay IN the ignomin-
t0us gutter, and the friends OF Mr.. Mccarthy were
weeping over their dismembered pets, as did

BOARDING HOUSE KEEPING AND
POPULAR MUSICAL ENTERTAIN
MENTS.

Mrs Abigail J. Saddler keeps boarding house
at No. &c West Twenty-iourth street John ii.
Casey at No. 3ss Sixth avenue, the rear oi which
adjoins the house occupied by Mrs. Saddier,
has a lager beer and concert saloon. Mrs.
Saddler complained that the noise Incl
dental to the musical entertainments given
at Mr.. Casey's place had caused about hall her
poarders TO leave and that tor the same reason
she was in imminent danger OF losing the rest
Upon application OF her counsel. Messrs. Doolittle
4 Bachman, Judge Pratt, holding Supreme Court,
Chambers, granted a temporary injunction against
Mr. Casey and an order TO show cause why the
same should not be made perpetual sub
sequently this order, however was modified so as
simply to compel Mr.. casey to close his place at
midnight. Upon this order TO show cause there
was lengthy argument yesterday before Judge
Dononue, holding the same Court. Mr.. Bachman
read voluminous ailidavts, including prin-
cipaly those OF Mrs. Sadder and her
boarders, showing, as Claimed, that
the music was a nuisance and kept everybody in
the neg lDornood awake till u la'e hour. IL was
also alleged that the place was the resort OF dis
reputable characters. The opposing affdavits,
read by Mr.. J. q. Gray, showed tnat the music was
OF the highest order; that no disreputaoe char
acters were allowed there: but, on the contrary,
that It's patrons are among the leading business
men OF the city and men OF highest repute IN pro-
fesslona life. Judge Donohue, OH hearing the am .
davis and the argument, ordered dissolution OF
the Injunction. Mr.. Casey added. however, on his
own account that IN order not to give any OF his
neighbors offence he should hereafter close MS
place promptly at midnight.

BISMARCK As A FARMER.

The following tale is told of Prince Bismarcks
doings at Kissingen:-
One day the Prince was proceeding on foot from
the springs to the town, and was obliged to cross
q meadow which was just being moved. The
Prince Is, as ia we'll known, owner OF an estate
himself, and takes great interest In agricultural
affairs; so he commenced q conversation with the
mowers, who did not recognize him, and at last
requested one Of them to give him O scythe, which
he used with apparently great skill. The Bavarian
peasants were astonished at this proof of skill on
the part OF a gentleman who appeared to them to
belong to the upper classes, ana expressed their
admiration accordingly. AS soon as the Prince
had left of moving the grass one OF the country.

What Becomes Of the Refuse Blood from

At the foot OF Fortieth street, North River, lies
the hulk Of dismantled gunDoat, which, when
she belonged to the United States Navy, bore the
name Algonquin. She was one OF the two gun
boats built by the Navy Department during the
war to run up the Southern rivers, and was desg-

the bow OF an ordinary vessel, and having double
steering gear connecting with the rudders at each

for the purposes for which they were intended,
had them dsmantled and sold the hus. The

wears an odd appearance, having housings over
