for consideration by the committee

Several Senators have bills and
resolutions before the House on
financial matters. Kelley, of Penn
syvania, Radical and Infiationist,
has a bill for repeating the resump-
ton act. Senator Hereford, of West
Virginia, one for its partial repeal.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, intro
duced bill authorizing the coinage
of the silver dollar of 10 grains of
standard silver, making it legal
tender for all sums in all payments
of debts, public and private, except
such as by contracts now existing
are payable otherwise.
The House is less disposed to en-
terrain financial matters, and it is a
question whether Randall will APP
point any committees besides those
necessary to consider the topics an
nounced for consideration in the

was vigorously opposed. We have
only to say that that effort will be
renewed whenever the rules of the
church deprive us of the ministra-
lions of our present excellent pastor !;
and should that effort be again frus-
trated, it would be a severe discour-
agement to the Methodist cause in
GAINESVILLE:
The Rev. j. B. West, d. D., has
been stationed at Shelbyville by the
Tennessee Conference of the NJ. e.
Church, South. DIR. West is one of
the most popular preachers and
ablest diVines in the State. AS an
expounder of the Scriptures he has
no superior and but few equals in
this section of country and wher-
ever he has been located, no matter
for how many years, the people love
| to hear him to the last. Like a
prompt and earnest worker, he was
at his post of duty the first Sunday
after Conference, and preached two
highly interesting sermons in his
pulpit last Sunday. In a few eX-
ceedingly appropriate remarks he
announced his intention to do the
work of a pastor for this charge
faithfully and efficiently in all things
to make only pastoral visits among
the people; to pray with them in
their homes, and like his Divine
Master, whose messenger he is, tC
devote his visits and conversation t.
his Gathers business"
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1877-10-27

The following we clip from the
Shelbyville Gazette. Need we say
how heartily we endorse the enco-
miums of the Gazette? If DIR. West
is popular in every place where he
has sojOurned, it is nothing more
than was to be expected from the
noble qualities of heart and head
which have been SO long recognized
in him by our people. But the pop
ularity which he may have achieved
by temporary sojOurn in this or
that place must not be compared
with the unbounded faith repOsed in
his integrity and goodness by the
citizens of GAINESVILLE, among whom
he has so long made his home, for
the best qualities of his moral nature
cannot be appreciated by short ac-
quaintance; it is only those who
have had a lifetime experience of
his character that can appreciate
them, and those men live in Clarks-
Vile and nowhere else.
And now we have a word to say

An Anxious Talk Over the RreSi-
dents POIicy-ThOrnbu
Disgust.
Washington Special to the Cincinnati Ga
Zette.
In accordance with an invitation
from Mr.. Foster, a number of Re
publicanS met on Friday night at
the residence of Secretary Sherman,
to consider the best course for Re
publicans to adopt in case the DEM
Ocrats should introduce a resolution
approving the Presidents policy.
No decision was reached in regard
to action in case of such Democratic
resolution as was expected. If the
Democrats should present it in the
shape of Endorsement of their Ohio
platform, where policy is claimed
as Democratic doctrine, all present
agreed that the way would then be
open for Republicans to vote sOlidly
against it. Only Gen. Cox and Mr..
Grape announced their purpose to
vote for it, in case it should prove a
simple and full Endorsement of the
were in favor of treating it as Dem
Ocratic buncOmbe, and of having an
understanding that all Republicans
were to sit silent.
The Interchange of views, after
the question of dealing with a Dem
Ocratic resolution was laid aside,
was general and very free. Only
two indOrsed both the Southern pol
icy and civil service. There were
few who Endorsed the Southern pol
icy, but only one or two were will
ling to vote unqualified approval of
it, though they felt constrained to
accept it as a fact. Those who OPP
posed it stated in strong terms their
desire to preserve the unity of the
party, and to act with the President
as far as possible, but they were still
UNIV illing to yield their convictions
or vote in opposition to them.
Mr.. ThOrnburgh, of Tennessee,
said that the Republicans of that
State and of the South were utterly
disheartened that there was no
longer Republican organization in
the South that they had no repre-
sentative in the Cabinet, and that
they were obliged when seeking
anything in connection with the
POstOtfice Department to go over
the head of that Department to the
President himself, and that South
ern Republicans would not confer
directly with the Postmaster Gene
raj.
At this point, Mr.. Blair, of New
Hampshire, inquired of ThOrnburgh
whether, when they had visited the
President, they had received any
satisfaction from him, and whether
they had been able to obtain what
they wanted.
Mr.. Thornburgh said that they
had always failed to obtain satisfac-
ton.

IN CONGRESS-.

Nothing has taken place in Con-
gress this week worthy of regular
abstract. The Senate has been busy
irving to block the admission of
Democratic Senators to their seats
where their claims are disputed
bv reference TO the committee ON
elections and then letting them stay
there. All the disputed seats have
been so referred, but vigorous effort
is made to compel an immediate ac-
ton upon them. Spotfcrd's case was
taken up for immediate considera-
alton, but Spofford asked for time
which was granted. Senator Hill
offered resolution that, "whereas
the State of Louisiana had affirmed
that the Nichols government was
the only legal government; and
whereas that government had le-
gally elected Spofford to the Senate,
it was the duty of the Senate to ae-
cept the action of the State and seat
Spofford. This resolution was set

The indianapolis Journal of the

by Senator Morton, endorsing Pres
ident Hayes Southern policy and his
civil service rules. On the other
hand, Mr.. Hayes himself has prom
Used a committee of Republicans,
who waited upon him at the White
House, that he would very much
modify the civil service orders be-
fore the elections in New York,

says that he never meant that Office
