Sam Wood, on the 18th, intro
duced the following financial reso-
buttons in the Kansas House of Rep
resentatives
Resolved, That the passage of the
law of 1873 demonetiziug silver was
an unwise and unjust act, adding,
as it does, two hundred millions to
the national debt and to the bur-
dens of the producing classes, and
bearing heavily upon the industrial
interests of the West, and our repre-
sentatives in Congress, in voting
tor said law, misrepresented the
people of Kansas.
ResOlUed, That the interests of
the country require the repeal of
the National bank law, and the en-.
actment of law, prohibiting the
establishment of any banks OF issue,
the gradual withdrawal of the Ma
tional Bank notes and the substitu-
ton therefor of greenbacks, redeem
able and interchangeable with gov
eminent bonds issued on long time
and bearing q low rate of interest.
RESOLVED, That the interests of
the country demands the remoneti-
cation of silver so as 10 restore the
old silver dollar, containing four
twelve and oue-half grains of stand
ard silver as . unit of value, and
make it legal tender TO any amount
for all debts, public and private.
ReSolUed, That we will not sup
port any man for United States Sen
ator who will not pledge himself to
sustain the above policy.

Col. Phillips, of Kansas, delivered
an able speech in the House, at
Washington, on the 9Th, upon the
question Of counting the electoral
vote. Mr.. Phillips maintains that
the President of the Senate is the
true constitutional authority to de-
clare the vote of the electoral col
lege. He denies totally the power
Of Congress to turn itself into q re-
turning board, to 60 behind the &C
ton of the States themselves,
through their own constituted au-
thorities. He gives brief but COM
prehensive history Of the declaring
OF the electoral votes from the be-
ginning of the government down to
the present time. The 22d joint
rule he afirms to have been purely
. war measure, justified at the time
OF It's adoption by the fact of war,
but not to be quoted as a precedent
In time Of peace. He thinks the on
~ thing to do is to go ahead strict
Jy in conformity to the constitution,

in its descent, and, striking
against the abutment of the

that Mr.. Guthrie is elected by from

not full, the weather being intense
