The Silver Dollar.

WHAT THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE COMMIT
TEE on BANKING AND CURRENCY SAYS.
from the Washington Star, November l9th.1
Judge Buckner, chairman OF the House
Committee on Banking and Currency, told
Star reporter this morning that no attack
on the silver dollar at the next session
would be successful in his committee.
Star: Would any measure to limit the
coinage OF silver pass?
Buckner: Never; no, never.
Star: Would proposition to increase the
weight of the dollar be approved:
Buckner: No, sir. We will tight for the
silver dollar, and will not entertain favor
ably any measure hostile to 1t.
Star: Do you think, then, that free coin
age will be secured by the silver advocates
Buckuer: Yes, we will very likely secure
free coinage at the coming session.
Star: What do you think OF the action OF
the banks in demonetizing silver?
Buckner: They are simply inviting war
against themselves and defeat. They cam
not maintain the stand they have taken as
regards the silver dollar.
Star: Will there be war on the banks at
the next session?
Buckner: They have invited war, and
will, no doubt, be hit at pretty hard. do
not, however, expect that much will be ac-
complished against them. We will get
through the House the bill to retire their
circulation and substitute grcenbacks there
for, but it will not pass the Senate. The
next Congress will, however, have the ma
tional banks in their power, and they may
have to go.
Star: What do you think OF the success OF
the bi-metallic standard?
Buckner: In view of the fact that most
foreign countries have taken a stand against
standard OF both silver and gold, and in
consideration Of the unsettled ratio between
the two, it may be doubtful whether the
double standard will be iudicious. In case
a single STANDARD must be adopted, am in
favor, decidedly in favor, OF single stand
ard of silver in preference to gold one.

The Congressman over Whose Eicc-
ton the Radicals Dragged.
From the Wilmington Start


In his speech Judge Russell declared that
when he took his seat in Congress he would
stand upon the platform OF the Grcenback
party, and that he would not act with
either OF the old parties, but with the men,
bers OF that body elected by the Green
hackers. who, he believed, would hold the
balance OF power. The general tone OF his
speech was decidedly anti-Republican, il not
pro- Democratic, and the RAIDS were conse-
quently bitter in their denunciations OF the
speaker and his speech.
His declarations in favor OF the payment
of all southern claims, whether the claim
ants were loyal to the union or not, and
the pensioning Of southern as well as north
ern soldiers OF the late war, each OF whom,
he declared, fought for their country, were
the weakest kind Of political clap-traps, and
as ridiculous and impossible OF accomplish
ment as they were transparent and insin-
cere.
The most disappointed men in this city
to-day are the Republicans who voted for
Russell.

Birds OF a Feather.

The Tribune Of last week furnishes
its readers with the information that
"Eph Holland, the notorious, who
"justly served Il term in states prison
81 for fraudulent voting, was dele
"gate to the Democratic State Con.
"yention in Ohio" and then pro
foundly observes that "birds of q
feather will flock together
Such Internal stuff rs this is charac-
teristic Of the common run Of radical
papers, and its appearance in 4 bigoted
sheet like the Tribune should not
excite any surprise. But compare ii
with the truth i'm the matter and see
the contrast. II is true that Epll
Holland was sent as delegate to the
Democratic Convention. But he was
not admitted to that body partly
because Of his vile character, and
partly because he lacked the neces-
sary credentials to cntitle INN to have
u voice in its deliberations. 1t was
understood that his constituents We're
not Democratic, but Republican, and
that he was sent there as Il Republic
can agent, it being hoped that he
would be admitted, to the disgust of
the public. And now Eph Holland is
IN the Republican flock, and announ-
ces that he will hereafter carry his
ward solid for the radicals Such is
news which was hailed with delight
by the New York Times Of an earlier
date than the Tribune which contain
ed the news of Epharim's being Il del
egate to the Democratic convention.
Now, as to Mr.. Holland serving Il
term in states prison, we would like
to have some we'll posted Republican
paper onSightcn us. III he was justly
convicted of ballot-boX stulling, why
did Hayes pardon him out? Was it
for services rendered or to he here
after rendered To The party of great
moral ideas2 Had Holland not been
pardoned he would not now be entitled
TO vote, and would consequently cut q
poor figure III political matters.

them was a Senate bill. Mr.. Eden, the
chairman, gave conclusive evidence
that this committee Of Confederate
Brigadiers adhered strictly to the
rule requiring proof of loyalty as a
condition precedent to the payment
of claims. The Cotton Tax Refund
bill, which was the bette noire Of the
campaign Of 1875, proved to have been
the creation of Republican, Mckee,
Of Mississippi. When Mr.. Dawes
moved to suspend the rules and Kill
the bill, in 1873, it was an almost
solidly Republican vote which pre-
vented this consummation The most
exhaustive speech made against the
bill was made by Democratic mem
Der OF the Committee Of Ways and
Means, the lamented Michael G. Kerr.
His speech made sue. n impression
