Government to Pay Interest on All tn G
District Bonds Issued by the Conn mis-
siAners.

Dfstrict Bonds Issued by the Com mis-
siOners.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Action was
finally reached in the Senate on the
3.G5 bond bill, and the result Is that
the Government will pay the interest
on all the bonds that the commission
ers have issued, but they must not do
so any mole.
When debate began to flag and ac~
tion seemed imminent, Senator Eaton
hurled thunderbolt into the camp of
the Ring advocates by offering an
amendment providing that the Govern.
mcnt shall not be made responsible
for the payment of either the principal
or interest of 1865 bonds issued since
January 27, 1876. Sherman sprang to
his feet at once with an objection and
a request for an explanation, which
he Immediately got, and presumably
fuller than he desired. Mr.. Eaton as
serted boldly that the board which is
sued these bonds had some time ago
passed a resolution not to issue any
more bonds until Congress shall have
taken action in the matter; but the
Speaker was informed that in viola
lation of the spirit of their own reso-
luton, and as he believed without the
knowledge of the full board, they
had issued bonds since that time
and were issuing them to-day, He did
not know positively of his own know.

to patcrnal dignity, sought to extin-
guish the Connecticut Senator by as
suring him that he would have 10
make good his very serious charges,
and was told in reply by the gentleman
in question that he was accustomed to
stand by what he said. Sargent sought
to frighten him by reminding him that
certain of his own party were implica-
ted by his remark, and earned for his
pains the retort that MIR. Eaton didn't
care what party was hit. In short, the
| shrewd, brave old gentleman from
Connecticut didn't either bully or scare
"worth a cent" but, on the contrary,
scared the Senate into adopting his
/ amendment The amendment of the
| Appropriations Committee striking
out the House provise which prohibits
the further increasing of the total in
debtedness of the District or the pay
ment of any illegally issued bonds
was agreed to, and after another half
hours haggling the joint resolution is
as amended In Committee of the
Whole was passed. AS passed the reso-
luton is startling example of the
way in which the Kings English is
used in the Senate, but the gist of the
whereas and resolution is that the
Board of Audit are abolished, so that
no more certificates can be issued by
( them; that the local debt is not to be
increased by issuing more bonds, under
penalty of fine and imprisonment and
that the Government is to pay the in-
terest on the debt represented by the
3.65 bonds as far as issued. The bill
now goes back to the House N. Y.

The most efIectual way of using the article
