fay TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. !


lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRTBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The whole day was
spent by the House in voting upon the amendments
made to the General Appropriation bill in Commit
tee of the Whole with the exception of single hour
which was occupied in discussing the most inn
portant of these amendments. In this hour sharp
discussion arose on the subject of the printing OF the
bonds and currency. The bill as prepared by the
Appropriations Committee repealed the old law
under which percentage on the face value OF all
money and securities printed was allowed to be
pended for engraving and printing, and made q
specic appropriation for the portion of the work to
he done in the Treasury and another for the portion
TO be done by the bank note company. On motion
| of Mr. Kellogg an amendment adopted consol-
idating these two amounts, so as to leave dscre-
tlonary what proportion should be paid to the COM
panies To-day Mr.. Dawes attacked TINS amend
ment with great vigoT, on the ground that IL was
designed to destroy the checks and balances secured
hv the nresent system of having one side OF the
notes and bonds printed IN NewYOrk, and to center
all the work in WashngtOn-a portion TO DC done III
the Treasury, at present, and the remainder by
new bank note company recently organized here'
Mr.. Kellogg insisted that his amendment ana not
change the present law, and that It's object was
solely TO avoid putting the Treasury in the power
Of the companies by forcing it to give them work to
a specl1c amount III INC GNU MI h'ii'ee
his point If the House had known OF the lniuences
that are at work to take the printing away from the
old. stable and trustworthy New-York companies
and give il to the new concern organized by mem
hers of the Washington Ring, it would scarcely
have taken any action, apparently, II not actually
opepipp the way for such change to be made.
The appropriation for horses and carriages for the
DEPARTMENT of Justice was restored TO the BILL as
was but Just in view of the fact that such provisions
were made for all the other departments. All
salaries were left as determined in Committee of the
Whole, no correction being made of the anomalous
action of increasing the salaries of the clerks OF the
House to $500 while cutting down the salary of so
important an Office as the Commissioner OF the
General Land Office to $4,000, and adding $500 to
the compensation Of four other House clerks while
reducing by q like the salaries Of several OF the
chief clerks and heads of divisions in the Treasury

THE PROPOSED COMPROMISE on THE CUR
RENCY QUESTION.

A PROPOSITION GAINING FAVOR WITH BOTH PARTIES
CONTROLLER KNOX BEFORE THE SENATE FL
NANCE COMMITTEE.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WAsHlNGToN. April 2s-The proposed compromise
On the Currency question: the outlines of which
we're given in THE TRBUNE's dispatches on Mon
day, is constantly gaining in favor, and has already
a fair prospect of adoption. 1t is urged in its
favor that il gives TO both infationists and re-
sOmptionists the legislation they deem most
desirable without oblieing either TO abandon
the theories 10 which they hold so tenacously.
The former get as much currency under the free
banking provision as can be profitably issued, and
The latter secure the redemption of the greenbacks
bond worth nearly par in gold thus establishing
solid basis for the whole paper currency of the
country because as the bank notes are redeemable
legal tenders it will be possible for the holders of
either to convert them into a gold interest
bond. Speaker Blaine is generally csedited with
deysng this plan. OF it is not perfectly sat
isfsctOry to either faction, but as a compromise
measure it probably is as fair and generally ac-
eeptable as anything that could be devised. If it
should be adopted, and it's adoption should have
temporarily at least the effect of healing the
breach between the two factions and prevent the
baffed nfationists from carrying their quarrel
from Congress TO the country, everybody who Is
interested in preserving the Republican party from
disruption Will have cause for rejoicing.
The Finance Committee Of the Senate, at its meet
ing to-day, did nothing toward perfecting It's new
Finance bill the whole time being spent In examin-
iBg Controller Knox. in relation TO the probable
Eject Of the passage of the House Currency bill.

Mr.. Blumenthal protested against the bill as an
outrage on the people of New-York 80 far as there
had been any expression of the wishes of the people
in regarl to it. No one had asked for 1t, and
there was at least well-grounded suspicion that
the bill was never intended to achieve rapid transit

Father Burke on Gothic Architecture

In sermon delivered in the Cathedral
at Enniscorthy, Ireland, Father Burke re
marked
"When the church was established, pa
gan architecture was symbolical of false
religion spacious coonnades, large courts
! and great buildings, with lines running level
with the earth, and as little as possible
! raised above the earth. There was nothing
in them looking to Heaven nothing lead
ing the imagination to God. But when
society improved, then the church of God
rose to the height of her sacred mission
once more; and, inspired by the highest
Christian ideas, that which before was but
beautiful corpse received its living spirit
from the inspiration of the church OF God.
"Slowly, bnt surely, under her care came
forth from the church-consecrated by her
Notwithstanding back into the light-the
arts which barbaric armies had spread over
and destroyed. Forth came science with
new rays of beauty in her face and from
her mind came forth the magnificent insti
tuition of Gothic architecture. 1t was no
level, horizontal line, spreading ont and
taking in large portions of soil the new
idea was to take in so much of the earth
only as was necessary to raise up struc-
tare which would be thing of beauty and
a joy forever; structure sufficiently broad
to take a strong hold of the earth and
gradually narrowing to point, as if it
were an hTIOW SaOt from Cne cuQrcn ana
destined to meet the skies.
"That silent preacher, the cross on the
spire, would proclaim to them every day,
pointing away into the skies, the great and
mighty truth that, as man aspires to
heaven, in the same proportion he must re-
cede from the baseness and sinsulness of
his fallen nature. They saw what a hold
that spire had taken of the earth-going
down to the rock on which it had firmly
fixed ITSELF raised by inches into solid
squares, and from the tower springing an
editce which tapered gradually to a point,
as it proceeds towards heaven, rising beau
tifully, diminishing in weight, diminishing
in thickness until it reached the point, and
then, and then only, touching and uphold
ing the cross. Thus it was with the true
Christian, who must aspire heaven ward,
leaving earth and its cares and sins behind
him"

that your chains may soon be removed, that
the eyes of yonr prosecutors may be opened,
I States of the Church, to which the Holy See
has the most perfect right, and the title to
which has been sustained by the sword of
Pepin and Charlemagne.
Inasmuch as our country is especially con Sc
Grated to the Immaculate iIgin, we have
deemed it proper, as preparation to our visit
to your Holiness, to prostrate ourselves first at
the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes who did
not style herself the " Imm &C u late Conception"
until your definition of tn at dogma went forth
to the world. Our Blessed Mother seems to
have had three objects in view in styling her
self the Immaculate Conception to confound
nnbelievers, to render homage to the truth of
the Immaculate Conception proclaimed by the
Church, and to prove to sceptcs your own in
fallibility as head of the Church, since it is in
consequence of Your proclamation that this
dogma forms to day part of onr Credo.
In that continent which has lately sprung
mp, as it were from the ocean, and from which
we come, the Catholic religion has increased
so wonderfully that it may be considered mi
raculous.
Do not be astonished, Most Holy Father, at
our love for you. You are the first and the only
Pope whose sacred feet ever touched our soil.
When from all parts of the orld such demon
strations of love and obedience spring up, we
may trust that the hour is not far distant when
there will be but one flock and one shepherd.
We, the first American pilgrims, have come to
| this holy city, not to offer you rich presents,
but the sentiments of our love and obedience,
WHICH AEcz uoie precious. L OF our QOly
| religion we are ready to make every and all
| sacrifice. May God long preserve you as the
| head of our Church. You have seen the years
| of Peter-may God deign to preserve you, that
you may witness the triumph of our Holy
! Church. And now, Holy Father, prostrate at
your feet, we ask your love, and humbly beg
you to bless our country, our families and our
| selves; and we hnmbly beg you to accept the
small presents, which we lay at your feet.
After the reading of this address the mem
bers of the committee of management of the
pilgrimage were permitted to kiss the slipper
and ring, and offered to the Holy Father the
gift provided by the filial love of tho pilgrims
and other presents, amongst which was q cane
with solid gold head, which was filed, from
the head to the ferrule, with coined gold.
The respect which the journal of Florence has
| for the words of the Holy Father does not
| permit me to trust to memory for the re-
production of the admirable discourse which
he addressed to his visitors. I will hasten to
transmit it to you soon as shsll be author
lied to do
I now liuit myself to recording the text
which the Pope principally interested himself
in explaining: "Children have come to me
from distant countries, bringing gold and con-
Tossing the name of the Lord" Tenerunt tibi
fill de longe, aurum amferentes ct nomen Domini
conftenteS." "y."
