WASHINGTON NOTES.
-
The Holiday Recess-TO Reasonable on
Wednesday, January 9Th,
The Currency Question Blaine and
Kelley 10 Lock Horns.
The Centennial o Failure Unless an
Appropriation Is Made.
Senators Bayard and Morton on the
Mississippi Investigation Project
wAsHiSGTos, Deem Der is, 1876

The House having agreed to the
amendment of the Senate, of yester-
day, setting the fifth instead of the
fourth of January as the day OF reas-
sembling, both houses adjourned till
the first Wednesday in January.
The currency question will be the
leading one of the session. Mr.. Blaine
said yesterday that he was not certain
when he should make his financial
speech, and that he may not make 1t
at all. Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
announces that he will Immediately
follow Mr.. Blaine, and endeavor to an
swer, without preparation, whatever
arguments he may advance. He Is on
the list of speakers next to Blaine.
"lf" be said, "a hard money Demo
crat replies to me, there will be a soft
money man ON the same side to an
swer him." Mr. Kelley believes the
currency question will be the leading
one Of the session, and so far as the
leading Republicans are concerned,
does not think that the men who were
known as Inflnti0nists year ago have
since been converted to hard-mOney
ideas.
The friends of the Centennial appro-
priation OF o million and a half dollars
are alarmed at the vote Of the House
yesterday, against subsidies of all
kinds, and fear that 1t will prevent
them from securing cent. Neverthe-
less, the President and most of the
Cabinet, the Supreme Court, two
thirds of the Senators and Members
will leave tomorrow Oh an excursion
to Philadelphia, to see what the Cen
tennial people have done. The latter
declares that unless Congress comes to
their relief the exhibition mnst be q
failure.
During the debate Oh the proposed
investigation into Mississippi affairs,
Messrs. Bayard, Morton and Thurman
took leading parts. The point made
against Morton was, that the investi-
CATION was an attempt to invalidate
the election of members of the pres
ent House, over which the Senate has
no jurisdiction. There was sharp spar
ring between the first named Sena-
tors.
Bayard. When asked why he Nor
toni would interfere with Louisiana or
Mississippi any more than he would
with New Jersey or New York, he an
swered, 1--WE claim the right to deal
with these Southern States" in the
Senator's own State Of Indiana there
had been great change in the popular
vote recently.
Mr.. Morton said: Yes, and there
might be change in the popular vote
In the Senator's State, Delaware.
Bayard. Yes, sir; but If my people
express their ballot against me at the
bailot-box, / will not come here to ask
the Senate to revolutionize my coun-
try. Applause in the galleries.
The Vice President announced that
II it should he repeated, he would di-
rect the Sergeant at Arms to clear the
galleries.
Mr.. Bayard, resun.ing, said the Sen
ate, by giving assent to the proposition
of the Senator from Indiana, would de-
clare that elections in that State were
to be judged by the Senate OF the
United States.
