New York, December 18.-A Washington
special says Senator Jones is of opinion that
the silver bill will receive no injury, but on
the contrary will be benefited by postpon
ment over recess. Neither he nor others of
the leading silver advocate thought it best
that Matthew's resolutions should be dis
posed of before recess, because they want the
President to act upon them, and he could
have avoided action by pigeon-holing them
for ten days, which would have been as good
as veto. Jones predicts that the amend
ments put on BANDS bill by the Senate
Committee limiting coinage will be rejected
by a majority of from five to twelve in the
Senate, and that the bill will then be passed
as it came from the House by a vote of "a to
%, or in that proportion. This is the result
of careful canvassing. He has made repeated
canvasscs ard keeps vety close watch of
fluctuations of opinion in the Senate.

never been forgiven by the rebels for his dar-
ing conduct during the war, and especially
for his bravery in gaining possession Of Con-
federate craft, running her out of Charleston

horndcd by Confederates, and this case has
been pat up on him to destroy his usefulness
as a Republican, The only evidence on which
he was convicted was that OF j. Woodruff,
