Morrill, called up his bill, and made an
elaborate speech, which was followed by
long debate
Bogy asked for a pOstponement, as he
wished to speak on the bill. He (Bogy) said
the bill proposed by the Senator from Yer
mont which was intended 10 lead to the re-
! sumption of specie payment, IN ElS
| Judgment did not lead to resumption at all.
| Its effect would be 10 cancel and destroy all
| the legal tender notes IN existence, and sub
! st. tute bonds for them. The bill did not
nroyide tor the accumulation of gold for a
| return to specie payment. The President,
| i'm his recent message, said the resumption
| bill of the last Senate would not effect
! IFS purpose, unless 1t be modified. The Sec
! reCary of Treasury SAID SO, ana the Sena-
! for from Vermont says So. Morrill, SAID he
homes that Bogy would not misrepresent
| him: he (MorrilI) believes the power given
/ by the LEGISLATURE of last session was abund-
ant: bat the passage OF the bill introduced
Bogv said he was in favor of specie re-
sumption; he was not an ln1iationist, but
would continue to oppose any attempt at
! resumption, which could, IN the slightest
degree bring about contraction IN the
naner money we now have; he was not IN
love with paper money, but the business OF
the country would not suffer contraction.
He looked upon the bill of Senator MOrrlll
as one of contraction. lie looked upon 1t
as something terribly bad; ne moved tha1
the subject be postponed until the lst Tues
day in February.
Morrill, said he hoped the senator would
not ask for postponement until that ii e.
A senator so ready as he (BOgy) TO Ieap
into debate and acquit himself so hand
sOmey on any subject, would not heso
long time to prepare himself. He moved
to amend the motion so that the further
consideration of the subject would be post
poned until next Monday,
Thurman, of Ohio. said the matter RaC
. better 90 over until February; he did no
- think it would be a very wise thing tor the
. senate to enter upon this financial debate
= before February. Sometime would be re
:. ouired to study the reports OF the Secre
- tary of the Treasury, the Comptroller o
;. the currency, and suggestions from the IL
;. nance committee. Two years ago, thre
- months of the time OF the senate was takei
5 up in speculating. He hoped no such eXhl
H. IXnnlH he witnessed again.

Thurman spoke was referred to the com
T. mittee on Finance, which ends it for til
