WASHINGTON, ID. c., !
October 29nd, 1877 {
Since my last there has been present
ed in the Senate several bills providing
for the coinage of silver dollars and max
ing them legal tender for all debts,
public and private, where neither cons
tract or express law made payment in
gold necessary. There is growing cons
viction that something of this kind will
become law Senator Jones, Chairman
of the Silver Commission created by the
last Congress, has presented an exhaust
i've report, and with it a bill directing
the coinage before mentioned. The TO-
port is strong argument in favor of re.
mopetiZation.
Senator Edmunds' resolution provid,
ing for committee Of seven, to which
the House adds, eleven members, to
consider the laws for counting and de.
claring Presidential votes was passed.
The committee is not yet appointed but
will be an able one from both Houses.
Senator Wallace introduced a bill di.

issue small bonds, running sixty years,
payable in coin, and bearing interest at
the rate of and 65-10O per annum.
These are designed as a safe investment

ninety three Representatives and eight
Delegates must wait week before they
bring in their ton OF bills.
The pressure Of a Congress present Is
found by Mr. EIaye. to be vastly differ
ent thing from the scattered supplica-
tons or ren1onstrances of the individual
members while'at home. The reform or
der is semi>oificially explained to mean
only that ofllce-holdcrs shall not inter.
fere with nominations. Senators and
Representatives are to be consulted as to
Federal appointments ~ long as they
prove safe advisers. There are indica>
lions that further concessions will be de-
mapded and made before the nomina-
tons pow before the Senate will be cons
firmed
But most wonderful of manifestations
Of the spirit of reform, Simon Cameron
is to be made Minister to England.
From the days Of Cameron to this time,
it would be hard to find one act which
appears to fit hun for the position. II
Forncy is to be believed, Cameron was
as terrible to the Indians, financially, az
the Frecdmen's Banks was to negroes.
His senatorial record is barren OF honor
able achievement. He was forced out
of Lincoln's Cabinet by an indignant
Republican Congress, and sent as Min
lister to Russia, where it is popularity un-
derstood, frauds in contracts for war ma
terial are as frequent as the contracts
themselves. Now he goes to England
Verify, as Cameron himself said when
Hayes Cabinet was announced, this is
HI ola time.n
The Army Engineers who examined
the Washington monument foundations
have reversed their former decision, and
now say the monument may be safely
completed where it stands. AS Congress
appropriated a large sum for the purpose
a year ago there would seem to be no
reason for further delay. Secretary
Sherman may refuse to allow the money
to he paid out. To be sure it was he, then
Senator who introduced the bill making
the appropriation, but he does not let
consistency govern him i'm these times.
Some member of the House has dis
covered that no mileage can be drawn
for travelling to and from Washington to
attend an extra session. A bill will be
promptly passed to remedy that evil.
There is great question however if II
would not be better to leave things as
they are. Most members travel on free
passes and the expense is light. Ifmile-
age is provided we may have important
business neglected at regular sessions for
the mere purpose of forcing the Presi
dent to call extra ones. Mileage is not
the abuse it once was, but there is subs
stantial profit in it. REX.

ETThe Baltimore election turned
out somewhat differently from the re-
suits expected by the members of the
workingmen's party and the Republi-
cans. Mr.. Kane the nominee of the
Democrats is elected by a majority of
10000. The leading Eastern papers
indulge in a good deal of sarcasm re-
speeding the management Of politics
in Maryland by the appointees of
Hayes. The Republican party is in
the throes of dissolution and eXcites
not much sympathy anywhere.

Rev. j. w. w. Bolton, the newly
appointed Presiding Elder Of Morgan
town District of West Virginia Con
ference NJ. +. Church, held his first
quarterly meeting in Morgantown
Station on last Saturday and Sunday.
He is about forty-two years of age, Of
fine personal appearance, and is re-
garded as one of the strong men Of the
West Virginia Conference. Our PEG
pie were well pleased with his work
Rev. s. Steele, tire new pastor Of the
station, is well known to our people,
and is regarded as an excellent man
and fail preacher.
Upon receiving the sad intelligence
of the death of Rev. William Hunter,
ID. d., formerly pastor of Morgan
town Station, President Thompson
suggested that a memorial service be
held in the church on Sunday even
ing The services were opened by
reading the scriptures and prayer by
Rev. S. Steele. The Presiding Elder
made some appropriate Introductory
remarks, referring to the deceased as
a poet of no ordinary character, and
asked the choir to sing piece of his
own composition. The audience sat
in almost btetthless silence while the
choir sang.
aJoyfully, joyfilly onward I move.
Bound for the land of bright spirits
above"
Hon. w. T. Wiley, college class
mate of the deceased, in touching adj
dress referred to his associations with
DR.. Hunter and Bishop Simpson
when they were all students in Madi-
son College more than forty-five years
ago. He referred to many interesting
feathers in the life and character of
the deceased, and closed by saying
that the church had never fully
known and appreciated the worth of
DR.. Hunter.
President Thompson spoke of the
Kindness of heart of the deceased.
He had known him intimately for
several years, but had never heard
him speak an unkind word Of any
man. He was modest and retiring,
and the church had lost much by fail
ing to push him forward His pro-
auctions Us poet are sung all around
the globe in more. than half the Ian
guages of Christendom.
Rev. S. Steele said DIR. Hunter
ought to have been made bishop. He
was n native of Ireland, and no Irish
man had ever filled the Episcopal
chair. He was great scholar, a
great preacher, and a great man.
The services were solemn and impress
sive.
DR.. Hunter at one time purchased
farm in the vicinity of Morgantown,
intending to spend ''the quiet of old
age at this place. lie planted an
orchard, which is now III its prime.
He, however, long since, on account
of pecuniary demands, disposed of
the farm. The trees which he plant
ed stand as a monument of his love
for rural life, yet they, like him, will
die, but an enduring monument has
been erected in the hearts of Christian
friends here that will live on through
the ages.
