KesumnIIOn.

The Senate does not appear to be
in q great hurry to doctor the finsn-
ces. We clip the following from
its proceedings of the goth:
Mr.. Sherman called up the bill
recently reported by the Commitiee
message of the President TO sid in
the resumption of specie payment.
He said that he did not want TO dis
cuss the bill because he knew il
there was much opposition to it, il
would not be passed. He explain
ed the bill already published and
said he had been assured by gentle
men of both political parties that
the House would agree upon it i / il
should be passed by the Senate.
He urged the passage of the bill and
said he belieYd it would tend large
ly TO promote the public interest.
Mr.. Bogy said he had not had an
opportunity TO examine the bill
carefully, but he thought it was We
ry Objectionable. 1t might lead TO
resumption, but it would be in a
most destructive manner. He I'M
bdoN LIS
would soon be at the head OF the
Treasury Department. AS he was
to occupy that very high position,
it seemed to him (Bogy) that the
senator was not doing his future
fame Justice in placing such bill
before the Senate.
Mr.. Morrill, said the bill had re.
ceived the most unanimous support
of the Committee on Finance.
Mr.. Cockrell said that financial
matters were regulating themselves
very happily, aud II the subject be
let alone, no legislation would be
necessary to bring about specie pay
ment. He moved that the further
consideration OF the bill be post
pOned until the first Wednesday in
December next. Agreed-yeas "a,
nays %.
We think Ccckrell hit the mai
square on the head In his first sen.
tenee.

WAsHINGToN, March 9.
Representatives Ellis and Gibson
and Col. Burke, of Louisiana, to-
day called on the President, who
showed them two kilograms pre-
pared to be sent to Gen. Augur and
Governor Packard.
In the first, General Augur is in
formed that hereafter troops must
not be used for political purposes
in Louisiana, but for the purpose
of the civil authorities when the lat
ter are power1ess to do SO.
The telegram to Packard was to
the effect that the policy of main
tanning state government by feder-
al troops must be abandoned, as
such use of the federal forces was
against public sentiment, and unjust
to majority of the people.
And the following corroborates
the first:
Representatives Ellis, Gibson and
Levy aud Col. Burke, after an inter-
view with the President this morn
ing, sent the following telegram to
Gov. Nicholas:
WASHINGTON, March 3, 1877.
To Gov. F. T. NICHOLS, N. O., La. {:
The President says he sent a dis
patch 10 Packard Thursday, netify-
ing him that troops could no longer
be employed to uphold either claim
ant, and that he does not believe
Packard would attempt any often
sive operations. The President
sent the dispatch SO he might have
time to return his pretensiOns if dis
posed. The President says instruc-
lions have been issued which cancel
all orders for the preservation OF
the status quo, and that neither you
or Packard are longer bound to OBJ
serve it; that he means the people
of Louisiana are as free in their af-
fairs from Federal interference as
the people of Connecticut, and that
there will be no disposition to in
terfere with them any more than
with the people of New York.
The President concurs with Us that
you Immediately issue a proclama-
ton and urge protection amnesty
and peace.
Being asked if the posse execu-
ting the process of the Nichols
court would be interfered with by
the military, the President replied,
mo more than in any other State .
Being asked If the Nichols off,
GERS should take possession of the
offices in the State without mob vi
olence, would there be military IN
reference, he replied that: sThere
would be none; that the military
would only be used as it had been
once used in New York, and would
be in any of the states to overcome
mobs too formidable for the civil
power or state authorities
We haye submitted the foregoing
dispatch of yesterday to the Presi-
dent, who has revised it with his
own hand. and authorizes us to state
that in its present form it is abso-
lutelv correct.

paper currency, with its fuctus-
tons of values, is one of the great
est obstacles OF return 10 prosper
Gus times.
The only safe paper currency is
one which rests upon a coin basic,
and is at ali times and promptly
converted Iato coin. I advert to
the views heretofore expressed by
me in favor of congressional legis-
lation in behalf of an early resump-
ton of specie payments, and am
satisfied that not only is this wise,
but the interests, as well as the pub
lie sentiment of the country, i'm
peratively demand it.
Passing from these remarks spon

TO consider our relations with other
lands, we are reminded by the in
ternational complications abroad,
threatening the peace of Europe,
that our traditional rule of non-in-
reference in the affairs of foreign
