A small boy, with very sharp nose,
halted before bakers window the other
day, and took long look at the cakes
He finally entered, and leaning over the
counter, remarked
IF you was boy, you know, and was a
man and kept this shop, do you know what
I'd do ?"
The baker confessed his ignorance.
"Well, if you was a boy, you know, you'd
be hungry, and if you came into my shop,
you know, I'd hand you out cake for moth
ing, you know, and when you got to be a
man you'd buy all you could Of me, you
know, and you'd git everybody else to trade
with me, for you'd remember how l gave
you cake, you know, and you'd want to
pay me back"
No lawyer could have put the case better
and the boy got the cake.

WASHINGTON. ID. C, January 10 After
the expiration of the morning hour Mr..
Randall got the floor of the House and
moved to suspend the rules and consider his
amnesty bill. This was agreed to. He then
moved the previous question. Mr.. Blaine
wanted to know whether it wds the inten-
ton of the majority TO pass the bill with
out amendment or discussion. Mr..
Randall replied that he would allow one
hours debate but declined TO allow Mr..
Blaine to offer his substitute, excluding
jeff Davis, as an amendment. The
motion for the previous question was adopt
ed. the democrats voting in the afirma tive
and republicans in the negative. Mr.. Ran
dali then demanded the main question, and
said he would allow the republicans half an
hour for debate. Mr. Garfield made point
of order that as this bill did not come fro IN
a committee no debate was in order under
the rules. This was sustained by the speaker.
This raised laugh on the republican side
and led to sharp q, bate between Messrs.
Randall and Blaine during which the latter
told the former be could not put this meas
ure through under the gag law. Mr.. Banks
said that the minority had the right to the
yeas and nays on ordering the main ques-
ton. and he made this demand which was
ordered. The roll call WAS ensued. The
house having ordered the main ques-
ton, Mr.. Randall asked for the unanim-
Gus consent for une hours debate.
Mr.. Garfield said he Lad no objection. pro-
viding a unanimous consent was given to Of
fer amendments. This Randall declined
and Garfield then objected to any debate.
Randall asked that the bill be put on its
passage. Blaine said that if this bill was
defeated he would Immediately offer it
again with his bill as a substitute and then
the House could consider the whole sub
iect. Randall's bill being defeated. not two
thirds voting in favor Of it, Mr.. Blaine then
moved to reconsider the vote just taken
and addressed the House at great length.
He showed that the republican party had

worthy to Ell any office up to the Presiden-

of any great good to discuss it; but at the
same time it is rysingular spectacle that
the Republican party, in possession OF the
entire government. has deliberately called
back into public power leading men of the
South, every one of whom turns on it, It's
bitter, relentless and malignant foe; and
that to-day, from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande, the very men who have received
this amnesty are as busy as they know how
to be in consolidating into one compact poll

as before the war, and we see the banner

is the animus and this the intent. | do not
think offering amnesty TO the $50 men who
are now without it will either hasten or re-
tard it, hear it said that We are going to |

RKxARKs FROM OTHER SENATORS.

R0ARKs FROM 0THkk IMMATURE.
Mr.. Thurman desired to call the attention
of the Senator from Vermont (Morrilll TO
the third section of his bill. which required
national banks to bold one-fourth OF their
money reserve in coin; after January lst,
1877, one-half; and after October. 1878,
three-fourths. He (Thurnsn) thought these
banks ought to prepare for specie payment,
and it would be no more than Just for
Congress to require them to keep the coin
interest the government paid them on the
bonds deposited until they could resume
specie payment. but he would not divert
the security which depositors have, IS pro-
posed by the third section Of the bill now be-
fore the Senate.
Mr.. Morrill, argued that by compelling
the national banks to have portion OF
their reserve in coin, instead eff legal-tend-
ers. there would be no diversion OF the Sc
curity which depositors had.
Mr.. Edmunds said that the Senator from
Missouri (Mr. Bogy) had said that the bill
introduced by the Senator from Vermont
did not provide for accommodating coin IN
the treasury. He begged to call the atten-
| ton of that Senator to the original act oil
January IA, 1875, which did provide for
such accumulation. 1t was true that this
act did not receive the votes OF Senators
belonging to the Democratic party and
be was forced to believe that it did not
meet their approval. lie then read from
the act of January last. and said that alb,
solute power was given to the financial
officer of the government to take the neces-
sary steps to pay the legal-tender notes IL
coin all the surplus revenues from thl:
time forth were to be applied to it.

senator Morrill,, on the Currency.

Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont, in his speech Oh
last Thursday, brought to the discussion OF
the question of resumption the sound sense
and clear Judgment which We have long since
learned To expect from him, on such mat
tiers. lie believes in the possibility ana
duty of a speedy return to specie pay
meuts and that the time now fixed BY law,
the first of January, 1879, is none too
early" The plan he favors is by rcdemp-
ton and funding of the legal tender notes IN
SO-year or u per cent bonds, and the bill
introduced by him, and in support OF which
hi> speech was made, authorizes the issue
Of such bonds for such purpose, and provides
that on and after January lst, 1873, all con-
tracts shall re payable - in accordance with
the legal-tender standard Of gold, unless
otherwise provided in the contract.
Mr.. Morrill, shows the folly of the - in
