A Journal Washington special says
| Some Treasury officials are q good dea
disturbed over the action taken by the
Ohio and Illinois Legislatures making
the silver coin of the United States
q legal tender to any amount for debts
public aud private within these States
They do not believe that this law is
constitutional, but they are chiefly con
ceined because they regard the action
taken by the Legislature of these two
| States as indicative of change in public
sentlInent,t the existence of which will he
felt at The extra session. A prominent
| Treasury official, who is very decided
in his opposition to the silver move
ment, said to-day that he was YER
much afraid its advocates would press
action at the extra session of Congress,
and that they would succeed in getting
some measures through in direct an
tagonism to the policy laid down 5y
the Treasury Department.
Some Eastern Republican Senators
are in correspondence with leading
Democratic Senators endeavoring to
bring about if possible an agreement
not to consider anything at the extra
session except appropriation bills.
Southern members of Congress now
here assert that those from their sec
llon OF the country will not be simply
content to pass appropriation bills.
NEW YORK, May 8.
A Times Washington special says:
Recent advices received at the Treasu-
ry Department from London state
that the sales of Az per cent. bonds is
improving, and the indications are
thai another call for $4,000, 900 of five
twenties will be made this week. The
Secretary thinks the fact that United
States bonds have been less affected by
the war than English consols, presents
the strongest evidence of the character
and stability of American credit
abroad. The Secretary believes that
by the time the Syndicate has pur-
chased 500, 900 900 of Al per cents he
will be able to cancel the contract for
placing those bonds, and will be able
10 negotiate for the issue of 500, 900 ,00C
of the 4 per cents authorized by the
Funding act. Sherman thinks he will
be able to commence the issue of 4 pei
cents prior to December l..
Organization of National Union
League.
CHICAGO, May 8.
A Joint meeting Of the Union League
Association and of the National Union
League was held here to day, in re-
sponse to a call from Hon. q. III. Har'
low, of Springfield, the Grand Secreta
nv of the Union League. About 81
prominent persons were present.. Mr..
Harlow said that the object of the
meeting was to discuss the proposition
to revive the association, which did
such powerful work for the Union dur.
ing the late war, in order to assist
President Hayes in carrying out his
Southern policy. He said that the
National Union League was formed
about four years ago, under the sup
position that the Union League OF
America was dead. He was averse to
giving up the present organization.
Alter several speeches, a committee OF
five from each body was appointed to
consider whether the two should unite,
and how. The committee, in a subse.
Quent session, brought in resolutions
thai the National Union League of ii
linois should recognize the authority
of the National Grand Council of the
Union League OF America as the SUI
preme authority of the Order, and
should change its name to the State
Council of the Union League of Amer
lea for the State OF Illinois, and should
recognize the State Council of the Ma
tional Union League of Illinois as the
State authority for Illinois, AS also the
subordinate councils; and finally, that
the present officers of the State Organi-
cation be retained until a new election.
These resolutions were unanimously
adopted. Speeches regarding the pres
ent Southern policy were made, and
little opposition thereto was developed,
but the speeches generally favored the
policy. In the evening, at a secret ses-
sion, proper arrangements were made
for the working of the Council under
the new name, and State and National
Executive Committees were formed.
