Washington, May 3.-Some Treasury
officials are a good deal disturbed over
the action taken by the Ohio and Hi
nois legislatures in making the silver
coin of the United States o legal tender
to any amount for debts, public and
private, within those states. They do
not believe this law constitutional, but
they are chiefly concerned because they
regard the action taken by the legisla-
ture of these two States as an indica-
ton of the change in public sentiment,
the existence of which will be felt at
the extra session of Congress. A prom
inent Treasury official, who is very de-
cided in his opposition to the silver,
movement, said to-day, that he was very
much afraid its advocates would press
some action at the extra session of
Congress, and that they would succeed
in getting some measures through in
direct antagonism to the policy laid
down by the Treasury department.

sition protected by the Notifications of

Gen. Melikoff, on May LIST, after

to assist President Hayes in carrying

National Union League was formed
about four years ago, under the suppo-

up the parent association, which was
ready to work vigorously, if necessary.
After several speeches, a committee of
five from each state was appointed, to

This committee, in subsequent ses-
