Brooklyn except at Wallabou suitable for this pur-
pose The lands which the city desires to purchase
or receive in exchange, he said, are principally
marsh and overiOwed, and not in present use; they
are Of little value to the United States, and be
disposed of without the least detrment to the bust
ness OF usefulness of the NavyYard.
Mr. Bliss said that since he introduced his bill he
had received a letter from ex-Mayor Hunter OF
Brooklyn, reminding HIM that Clnton-ave. the
westerly line of the lands mentioned in the bill and
the site nearest the Navy-Yard now inclosed, was
formerly the property of the city, together with
Vanderbilt-ave., which is still nearer, and that it
was great mistake on the part of the city to sur
render the streets named to the Navy Department,
while that surrender has been of perceptblc use
to the Government itself. lie said that the City of
BROOKLYN does not seek in this bill gift of these
lands but is willing to pay Just compensation. lie
was informed that the city authorities stand ready
either TO give valuable equivalent for the property
or exchange more valuable land adjoining the main
portion of the Navy-Yard. The city would, how
ever probably prefer TO pay for the lands IN cash.
While the people of Brooklyn are suffering from
burdenso of taxation, Mr.. Bliss said that in this mat
tor the need of public market has been so gener-
ally felt that all classes, all parties and men of all
shades Of political opinion in that city, unan-
mously in favor of the passage of this bill. The
market which il proposes to erect would not only
accommodate the people of Brooklyn, but also open
market facilities for a large population residing in
other portions of Long Island.
Another important consideration urged was that
while Brooklyn has a very extended line OF water
'front.' the greater portionof it is held by individual
owners so that the city does not possess sufficient
dock facilities to accommodate the numerous steam
boat lines which desire to land at its wharvcs To
meet the wishes of the people the officials of Brook
lyn opened negotiations with the Navy Department,
about year ago, for such exchange of lands be-
tween the Government and the city as il was sup
posed would be satisfactory to both parties, but the
negotiations finally failed for the reason that the
Secretary of the Navy refused to dispose of the
lands without the consent and authority of Congress
Mr. Bliss spoke at some length, in reply to the sug-
geston that the Navy Department might need the
land in question for the storing of surplus timber on
hand, OF as a site for new buildings and work
shops and showed the absurdity of depriving so
MANY citizens of the conveniences Of market
simply to retain place in which 10 float Govern
ment logs.
Mr.. Bliss closed his argument by producing copies
of the resolutions passed by the Common Council OF
Brooklyn and the Board of Supervisors of Kings
County favoring the passage Of this bill, and also
numerous extracts from the local papers urging that
Congress would allow the city to purchase the lands

10y IELeiFAPH The TRlBUNK.l
WAsuINGroN, Jan. 25.-SOme Of the most earnest
advocates of hard money in the House are already
beginning TO feel discouraged at the umdity OF the
majority of their associates They fear in the first
place. that a majority of the members of the House
are against them and that there is more danger that
some initiation measure will be passed, than hope of
LEGISLATION looking toward resumption. BUY many
of those who profess desire for honest currency
ard the adoption of some measures which VIII IN
fuse confidence into trade and remove the financial
depression are unwilling to do anything to bring
about the result they profess TO desire. Among the
Democratic majority is tins timidity especially ap-
parent Tie leaders on the Democratic side OF the
House especially those of them who are committed
in general terms to sound financial principles, seem
T. dread dssensions, which sure TO arise III their
party whenever this question is fairly opened for
discussion; and seeing very little chance of making
any political capital, and great danger of losing
ground they appear disposed to postpone the open
ing Of the question as long as possible.
Mr. Blaine, az is well known, has prepared n care
full speech on the currency question: and will proba-
bly, be one of tie first to speak on the subject.
vague fear prevails among some of the Democrats
that the tactics which were annoying in the Am
nesty debate viii again be resOrtcd to TO break their
ranks or at least to place the party III the majority
OH the defensive If he Is so disposed, Mr. Blame
can by his superior address and by his aggravatlDg
way of presenting subject. excite the different cur
rency factions in the Democratic party to such a
pitch that it viii require almost more than human
forbearance to refrain from replying to him; and
when the ball Is once started, and ordinations and
recriminatOns are made on either side, no can
tell where it viii stop, how much damaged the
Democrats will be by the encounter

have a great advantage. The record of the Admin
istration and of the last Republican Congress is III

this question has been made party question the
Republicans have been oftener on the right side
than the Democrats. 1t viii only be necessary,
therefore, for the Republican leaders, who nearly all
hold sound views this subject, to hold the debate
well in their own hands, and they can probably
keep their party well together Should the question
take the shape of the proposed repeal of that part of
the act of 1875 which fixes day for specie re-
sumption, caucus would probably solidify the Re-
publican vote against such BILL as it did III sup
port of the measure itself last year, so that, with
good management the Republican party can be kept
pretty well united against any initiation measure if
its vote cannot be thrown for the bill to hasten spe
Gle payments.

city suitable site for public market. He said
that, singular as 1t may seem, the third

for such purpose within its limits. Year after year
the residents of Brooklyn have been compelled to
suffer inconvenience and loss Of time to the
East River, and TO rely upon the accommodations
of New-York. The principal difficulty has been that
no point could be found In Brooklyn where the

settled, could be accommodated with the necessary
space and wharfage facilities, and to-day Mr. Bliss
