Small fayors arc very thankfully received
from the Democratic Congress-, becauge the
country had about given up all hops OF uny
legislation in the real interests OF the country.
Tho present session of Congress- having been
expressly SGT aside in CAUCUS to rim Demo-
cratic campaign for the Presidency, thore
has been O systematic avoidance Of ali lee;s-
lat!on which might in tho least Interfere with
this plan. We presume that tho Democratic
managers concluded it would be eafo md
non-colnmtttal to pass tho two Silver bills
(Mr. PAyxEs mud Mr.. RAsDAL1's), and
therefore vouchsafed that much to the coun.
try, i'll spito Of tho opposition Of tie infa-
tionists, which must be based mainly on tic
fear that silver will bo too effective as m

for the fractional currency, there was an i.n-
mediato boarding Of the fractiouals TO he tlsed
