the Democratic Caucus Committee
Subioined is a full copy of the bill

cratic caucus committee, and reported to
the caucus by Mr.. Payne:
Be 10 enacted, ETC., That it shall be the duty
of the secretary of the treasury, during each
and every year from and after July l, 1876,
and until the legal-tender notes of the United
States shall be appreciated at par value with
gold, and shall be convertible into coin, to
cause to be set aside and retained in coin
an amount equal to three per cent. of such
legal-tender notes outstanding, and from the
date of such convertibility, aforesaid, the
amount of coin set aside and retained, as
aforesaid, shall be held as a resumption fund
in respect to said legal-tender notes. and
shall at no time be less than thirty per cent
of such outstanding legaltender notes; pro-
Yided, however, that the coin so set aside and
retained as above provided shall be counted
as a part of the sinking fund for the purchase
or the payment of the public debt, as required
by section 3694 of the revised statutes.
Sec. 2. That it shall be the duty of each
national banking association, during each
and every year from and after July 1, 1876,
| and until the full and complete resumption
| of the payment in specie of its circulating
notes, to set aside and retain from coin re-
ceivable and interest on the bonds deposited
! with the treasurer OF the United States as
security for its circulation, an amount equal
| to three per cent. OF its circulating notes
| issued to such association and not surren-
| dcred, and from the date of its resumption
| of specie payments as aforesaid, the amount
| of coin to be held and maintained as a re-
| sumption fund shall at no time be less than
! thirty per cent. of its outstanding circuIa-
| ton; that the coin by this section directed
| to be set aside and retained shall be a part
| of the lawful money reserve which said assO-
citation are by existing laws required to
maintain.
| Sec 3. That so much of section 3 of an act
entitled An act to provide for the resump-
ton of specie payments" approved January
| Il, 1875, as required the secretary of the
treasury to redeem legal-tender notes to the
amount of eighty per cent. of the sum Of
national bank notes issued to any banking
| association increasing its capital or circula
ton, or to any association newly organized
as provided in said section, and also so much
of said section 3 as relates to or provides fol
| the redemption in coin of the United States
| legal-tender notes on or after January 1
| 1879, and all other provisions of law incO I
sistent with this act, are hereby repealed.

The London Press on the Belknap
Scandal.

The Times says, editOTially, of the
Belknap scandal: This event is more
grave because it is confrmatOry of sUspi.
cion which has lsng prevailed among
American people Even we Europeans
cannot but be struck with the altered
tones in which Americans speak, if not
of their institutions, at least of the men
who have present direction of them"
The News, alluding to the same sub
iect, saws: American political life
seems to be in anything but a healthy
condition" 1t refers to the whisky
fraud trials, the Emma mine scandal,
and the downfall of Belknap and says
that these scandals lift the veil from a
class of society which 1t was hitherto
pretty generally supposed had as yet es-
capped the impurities of the social strata
below, and they lead one to fear that
some of the worst vices of the municipal
government may be percOlating into the
federal administration"
The Telegraph says: Disclosures
after disclosures, charge after charge
varying i'm degrees of truth, but with
the same ugly and untOward character,
have lately darkened the commercial, re-
Iirious. judicial and administrative insti-
tutions of the United States Some have
proved false, others true, and more await
evidence. But the general effect beyond
denial has been and is to bring the blush
Of shame and anxiety to the faces Of all
honest Americans, and to make the
countless friends Of the republic in this
country silent and sorrowful when It's
enemies rejoice over these recurring reve-
/ lations."
The Standard says: Happily, the
/ countries are few where 20 gross an abuse
/ Of trust would be possible"

How Mrs. Belana2 Looked and What
She Wore.

HOW MIS- Besa nap Looked anu W nat
She Wore.
Says the New York World: This lady
has been the object of general admiration
since first she came to Washington SIX
years ago to visit her sister, the former
wife of Gen. Belkuap. Her handsome
face and figure and witty conversational
powers at once made her a central figure
in any assemblage. She Is tall, has
well-develOped and rounded form, and
graceful carriage. Her features are reg
ular, her complexion clear and fair, while
her hair Is black and her eyes black and
very bright. When first she came to
Washington, Mrs Belknap was the widow
of a Mr.. Bowers, who had died some
months before in Cincinnati. Her fam
/ ilv name was TOmlinsOn, and she was a
native of HarrodsbuTg, Ky. Her father.
DR.. TomlinsOn, was an eminent physl-
clan, and highly connected. lie had q
large family of sons and daughters. All
of the latter were noted for their beauty
and were reigning bellies of their native
state The mother of Mrs. Henry Clews,
Of New York, was one of the sisters, and
/ the second and present wife of Gen. Bel
KNAPP another.
All shades and colors are becoming to
| Mrs. Belknap's style, and she INDUCED in
| WOrth's most effective combinations. At
| the many entertainments she has at
/ tended this winter, she has looked equally
/ beautiful, whether attired in pale rose
/ ColOred silk, with soft, creamy lace, or
/ turquoise blue silk. with long garlands
| of flowers trimming the low COrsage and
very short sleeves, as well as the tabier
and trains of ivory-tinted silk trimmed
with fringe and lace, or even her car
riage costumes-One of black velvet and
| lace, another of blue velvet trimmed with
bands of pheasant's feathers. She has
many other toilets of the richest mate
/ rial. Mrs. Belknap is dainty frOr, head
/ 10 foot Hats and boots match each cos
tune Her foot Is the smallest in Wash
! ingtOn. She wears a number one and a
! half shoe, though she Is five feet six
! inches in height. Slippers and boots OF
satin for these dainty feet come from
Paris, and are always enough seen to be
admired. The Jewels Mrs. Belknap most
| frequently wears consist of string OF
! large pearls around her neck, with beau
| tiful pendant of diamonds. Her ear
rings are two solitaire drops for each ear.
| An aigrette of diamonds Is the only Orn-
ament she ever wears on her shapely
head, amid the puffs of dark hair that
are always arranged to suit the contour
of the handsome face. Prior to her mar.
riaze with Gen. Belknap she spent
eighteen months in Europe, ard brought
i her wedding tTousseau with her on hel
return.
