The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1877-11-10
A Disagreeable Fact,

The vote taken in the House of
Representatives on the motion to
table the report of the Committee on
Banking and Currency, providing for
the repeal of the third section of the
Resumption act, conclusively shows
that the anti-resumptionists have a
good working majority in the popu-
lar branch of Congress. 1t is we'll
that the country should thus early be
apprised of the purpose of the paper
money men to indefinitely extend
the reign Of the "greeback." For
tunately, the Republican majority In
the Senate will prevent them from
precipitating the ruin which would
inevitably attend the attempt to
carry their theories of finance into
practice.
Mr.. Randall was not ignorant of
the fact that the anti-resumptionists
were in the majority in the House,
and he accordingly gave them a ma
jority on the Committee of Banking
and Currency. By a vote of six to
five the committee instructed the act
ing Chairman Mr.. EWING to report
bill repeating the third section Of
the act of 1875, which fixes the 1st OF
January 1879, as the day for termi.
mating the legal-tender quality of the
greenback. Mr.. Ewing, who stands
second on the committee, and is the
leader of the paper money faction in
the House, reported his bill and
moved that it be printed and recon-.
mitted. This was agreed to, mas.
much as it left the matter in stat,
quo, and gave the anti-resumptionist.
no advantage, beyond that to which
they were entitled under the rules O.
the House. But this motion was
only ruse, and no sooner had it beer
adopted than Mr.. Ewing moved tc
reconsider-the purpose being to give
the committee an opportunity to cal
up the bill during the morning houl
on the succeeding day. Mr.. Conger
on the Republican side, Immediately
moved to lay the motion to reconsid
er on the table, and the yeas and nays
being demanded, the test vote was
taken, which showed that out of %:
members of the House present anc
voting, 1856 were anti-resumptionists
| Of the l16 members who voted to
| Law Mr.. .EWing's motion on the table
20 are Republicans ana u are Demo
Gratis. OF the 1873 who voted in the
negative, l07 are Democrats and 81
are Republicans. The anti-resump
tionists could only muster 81 r..
publicans, and the resumptionists
could only muster q Democrats
These are suggestive figures. The
Republican party, as represented in
Congress, is the "hard money" par.

a First Class House.

There is no hotel in the west that IS so
popular nor any that so we'll deserves it's
reputation as the fremont House, Chicago.
This magnificent palace of luxury il un-
questionably the best hotel this side Of
New York, and for comfort, appointments
and bill Of fare is unsurpassed anywhere
There is something more needed in first
class house than a good room and board,
and that is courteous treatment The
fremont combines all these qualities, and
not only are guests given all the comforts
that modern improvements can gi We but
there is that about the house that snakes
one feel at home always. This has bean the
secret Of success at the fremont. Jewett
Wilcox, the gentlemanIy manager, and
Frank Wentworth the head clerk seem t.
vie with each other as to who shall add most
to the comfort of the guests, The house
is the most elegantly furnished in the west
and has lately been reftted and renovated
throughout, making it what tits name i'm
plies, the Palace Hotel" of the country
The ARGUS takes pleasure in commGnding
its readers and the public generally to the
fremont, which stands without superior
in the hotel line.

Lumber Business in this Vicinity.

The Davenport Gazette says ''the saw

are Just rushing things down there, too.
The other day, just for fun, the hands
agreed to beat the average cut of from
$1,000 TO $4,000 feet in a day. Result:
$4,000 feet" What Davenport would do
it it had such mills as Ke-tor & Sons,
which cuts IS, goo to $4,000 feet, or Dirnock,
Goul & Co. :, which cuts $1,000 to 10000
feet daily, it Is hard to say.-MOline Re

And wha Moline would do if it had such
mill as Weyerhauser Il Denkm an 5,
which cuts from $4,000 to 10000 feet

The R.iehings-Bernard Troupe.


On Monday next MAY 2lst,l the cele-
brated Richings- Bernard Troupe will
appear at Oats Hall in the charming
opera of II Trovatore. The company is
one of the most popular in the country and
wins deserved praise from ALL We clip the
following from the Dayton (O) Journal.
The standard opera II Trovatore was
last night rendered in Music Hall by the
celebrated Richings- Bernard English Opera
Troupe. 1t was considered by many mu-
slciaDs that this opera was rendered more
powerfully and evenly than the Kellogg
Lucia in January last from the same stage.
Mime. RiehingsBernard early won and
still retains proud prominence for her
varied culture and energy, not only as a
singer, but as star in the dramatic frma
ment, The play goer and lover of music
does not have TO go back so very many
years to recall the celebrated Peter Rich
ings and young Caroline, who last night
was before us in the full, mature posses
sion of extraordinary powers of song.
Her foster father will be readily recalled,
with his wondrOus resemblance to the
great Washington, actually performing as
such upon the stage on account OF this
peculiar presence. The young Caroline
under his paternal care won her laurels
early and well, and still wears them. 1t
was gratifying to recall in the noble ma
iron still in the full exercise of her won
derful powers, the bright young sister as
she appeared in John Howard Payne's
CLAIR, the Maid of Milan. They who
saw her in the prison scene in Ii Trova-
tore last night remember how she APP
peared, with the same surroundings, and
sang the Marseilaise at the time when it
was prescribed air ID France, but doubly
dear to the American heart.
