son and Mr. Morrison is said to have remarked that
but for the peaceful influences of the day. the con
ference would have broken up in row. Senator
Bayard and Mr. Randall were especially cOmbati-
tive, and Mr.. Randall received from the young Della
ware statesman some pretty earnest words. The
latter spoke of the obstnacy Of the House cOnfrees
eS mere political clap-trap and unworthy OF the
House. He said il was not Democratic principle to
be so trivial and he knew the sentiment of the
party quite as well as Mr. Randall.
lhs bill has been an enigma from the start. Com
mlttees have been the point Of agreeing on sew

GOV. TrIDFNs SAYING THAT 1T is PAYABLE IN GOLD
NOT sUsTAINED-THE WORD COIN USED IN
THE STATUTES.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON Aug. 7.-Attention has been di-
rected to the declaration in Mr. Tlden's letter OF
acceptance that the interest on the public debt is
navable in gold. The statutes have been carefully
Examined by Senators and Representatives, and no
authority is found by them for any loan the prnci-
pal or interest of which is payable exclusively IN
gold Coin is the term used all occasions. SEN
ator Sherman, the Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee who has been consulted saws that no law
has ever been passed binding the United States to
nav in gold but the contrary, both principal and
interest of all the bonded indebtedness were orlgl-
pallv made payable in coin. The Funding act OF
Julv. 1870, under which the new bonds have been
issued makes them payable in coin of the standard
value of the date of that act.
