| sJifS;iI st5Fs SENATE. IA
Mr.. Morrill,, Of Vermont, called up his bill
| dntrodueed yesterday tofnrther enable the
Secretary Of the Treasury to provide for the
redemption of. United States, legal -tender
| notes, &C., and made an elaborate speech !,
a long debate ensued. Mr.. Bogy, Of Mis-.
souri,, asked for q postpon ement, as he wished
to speak on thetbill. He said the bill pro-
posed by the Senator from Vermont, which
| Intended to lead to specie.resumptiop, in
his judgment did not resume at all. Its
effect would be to cancel and destroy
all the legaltender notes now In existence
and substitute bonds for them. The bill did
not provide for the accumulation Of gold for
return to specie-payments. The President
in his recent message saidtthe resumption
bill Of the last session would not effect its
purpose unless it be modified. The Score
tary Of the Treasury said so, and now the
senator from Vermont says so.
Mr.. Morrill, said he hoped the Senator
would not misrepresent him. He (MorrilD
| believed the power given by the legislation
Of the last session was abundant, but the
passage of the, bill introduced by him would
make resumption. easier. @
MFR. Bogy said, be was in favor of specie
resumption. He was not an iuhationist, but
would continue to oppose any attempt at re-
sumption which could in the remotest degrea
bring about contraction in the paper
money We now have. He was not In love
with paper money, but the business of the
!
looked upon the bill of the Senator (MorrilD
as one Of contraction. He (Bogy) looked
upon 1t as something terribly bad. BE moved
that the subject be postponed till the first
Tuesday In February. ...-.tI 4aE &
Mr.. Morrill, said he hoped the Senator
would not ask for postponement to that
Itime. a senator so ready as him (Bogy) to
leap into debate, and aequit himself so hand
somely on any subject, would not take a long
i time to prepare himself. He moved to
amend the motion so that the further con.
sderation of the subject be postponed till
next Monday. IND go ''@-',s,.,..3 II
Mr.. Thurman. of Ohio, said the matter
had better go over till February, He did
not think lie would be very wise thing for
the Senate to enter upon the. financial debate
before February Some lime would be re:
quired to study the reports Of The, Secretary
Of the Treasury, the Controller, Of the
Currency, and the suggestions Of the Presi.
dent, as we'll as the suggestions from the
/ Finance Committee. Two years ago, three
months or the time Of the Senate was taken
up in speech making. he, hoped no such
exhibition would be witnessed again. l..5
The bill, against the wishes Of Messrs.
Bogy and Thurman, was finally referred to
the Committee on Finance; which ends it

DIR. New, of Indiana, offered a resolution
declaring that the fr,aernal feeling and good
i will now existing in all sections of the coun-
try, and the msnifes. disposition and purpose
of the men who ba.tled against each other in
the late civil war to join hands as one. people
in the future, is a most suspicious usheripg
/ in of the centennial year, and that while the
people are thus making an honest effort to
live together in peace and to uphold the same
! flag of an undivided country, their represent.
. atives in Congress should do no act which
! would necessarily disturb the patriotic con-
cord now existing and increasing, nor wan.
TONY revive the bitter memories of the past.

yeas and nays and it was accordingly so
taken, and resulted in The resolution being

f. Mr.. Rea, Of Missouri, offered resolution
declaring it, the opinion of the House that
the contraction of the currency in the man.
ner and to the extent that 1t has been done
has been detrimental, to the business of the

| ton of the country no further contraction
of the currency ought to be bad.
Mr.. Cox suggested that the resolution
should be referred to either of the two COM
mttees having charge of the subject, but Mr.

adoption Of the resolution. The House re-
fused to second the previous question-54 to
