SENATE.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.
Senator Logan, who has been ill for some
months, appeared in the Senate to-day for the
first time this session.
Reports of the heads of the bureaus in the
War Department were received, showing the
inaccuracies and omissions which have been
found to exist in the revised statutes of U. s.
military.
Mr.. Sherman of Ohio presented 596 petitions
sigued by %, 1886 persons, praying for the aboli-
ton of the bauk check stamp tax. Referred
to Finance Committee.
Mr.. Morton's report in regard to election of
President OF the Senate was ordered printed
and lies on the table.
Mr.. Cooper of Tenn said that as a member
of the Committee on Elections he was unwil-
ling to let the report 60 out without placing On
record his dissent from certain portions Of it,
Mr.. Merrmon of N. G. also dissented from
SO much OF the report as favored the pc wer of
the Senate to remove the President pro tempore
at will.
Mr.. Boutwell, said that after consultation
with his colleague he desired to qualify the mo-
tice gwen yesterday in regard 10 Announcing
the death of the late Vice President. As one
OF his colleagues was sick, he could not now
name the day when the announcement would
be made
After transaction of morning business, Mr..
Morrill, of Vt called up the bill introduced by
him yesterday to further provide for redemp-
with existing law, and addressed the Senate
in support thereof. The following is an alb
stract:
The bill, he said, followed the original idea
that the issue of legal tender notes was merely
temporary war measure. 1t would be better
cheaper aud less likely to damage the money
market to sell or exchange or d per cent,
bonds, running 80 years or more, for legal ten
der notes, redeeming them in che manner origi-
nally proposed, than to TO have the treasury
exchange U. S. bonds for gold. II we should
allow this to be done currency would gradually
approach that volume required by the wants of
trade and of specie resumption in 1879 Nor
do we need to be compelled to keep in cireula-
ton any fixed amount of legal tenders at par
with specie.
Mr.. Morrill, thought by Jan. l, 1878, the diff
ference between paper and gold would be much
less than now, and as forerunner Of resump-
ton it would be well to provide that contracts
after January, 1873, shall be upon specie
basis unless others were specified This would
accustom people to the coming change and
bring specie into circulation. After comparing
the progress, tie future and the circulating
medium of our country with those of others,
he proceeded to denounce the project of re-
deemlng greenbacks with an intercOnvertible
: CD per cent. Interest bearing bonds declaring
that the scheme was unsusceptible of any pub
lie or private advantage. He also secuted the
position which thas been often preached that

Certain amendments to the constitution, proposed
by resolves Of the last legislature have been de-
clared by proclamation of my predecessor to be
adopted by the popular vote and to take effect and
become part of the constitution of the state on
the first day of January 1876.
1t is among the first and most important of your
duties to give full practical effect to these amend
ments by such enactments, and revision of existing
statutes as may be necessary to that end
The amendments relating to special legislation and
corporations necessitate much and the most careful
exercise OF your powers. They as follows, con-
sttung additions to article four, part third of the
constitution: "Secon 49, The legislature shall, from
time to time, provide, far practicable, by gen.
eral laws, for all matters usually appertaining to
special or private legislation"
''Section II. Corporations shall be formed under
general laws and shall not be created by special acts
of the legislature, except for municipal purposes
and in cases where the objects of the corporation
cannot otherwise be attained; and, however forped
they shall forever be subject to the general laws of
the state'
Section thirteen presents discretionary field of
action which your own honor will impel you to &C.
cupy to the fullest extent.
The title of Especial and Private Laws'' which
includes so large portion of the laws Of former
legislatures is obnoxious one, conveying sugges

Of suspicion that be removed, Other weighty
objections to special laws for private benefit that
they are obtained at the public expense and in their
passage distract the attention of legislators from
matters OF public interest. The opportunity is now
afforded, and the duty eDjoined upon you, by the
amendment, to restrict the necessity for such laws
to the narrowest possible limits. An analysis and
classification of the private and special laws upon
the statute books, will inform you of the objects for
which it is desirable to provide by general laws if
practicable.
Many objects have been hitherto specially legs-
lated upon, although they were amply provided for
by general laws. have distinguished authority for
