the debate was continued.
The bill to re establish the fractional cur
rency bureau, striking out the clause Tor tae
resumption Of silver coin, was passed.
The House of Representatives was occupied
With the call 90 States for bills and JOINT reso'
lutions. The following were presented from
Virginia:
By MIR. Cabel: Bills for the survey OF Ger;

stood that the friends of Blaine in the CouVen-

State for the ex Speaker, but the Office holders
and those opposed will fight this attempt,
and it is thought successfully, and will oppose
any instructions, but endeavor TO have dele
