Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan.

Mr.. EdmuudS submitted "A long
amendment to the preamble and reso
luton introduced by Mr.. Matthews
before the recess, declailning the right
of the Government TO pay bonds IN
silver. The amendment sets forth
that the silver dollar of the United
States, was long obsolete when the exist
ing loans of the United States author
lied that gold coin had been The only
lawful coin, and Congress should not
legislaie I q make money atthe tx pense
of Is creditors; that it was the highest
obliga ion of the United States to pay
its debts iii such coin as its creditors
expect would he paid, and that it would
be unjust to compel them, or lshoring
men either, to receive silver dollars or
any debased money Laid on table
and ordered printed. The resolution
to which this is proposed as an amend
ment, is now before the Senate
Voorhees, expects to address the Sen
ate o-mnrrow on the questions OF eur
rency, resumption and the public
faith. The speech will excite much i'll
terest, because of the conviction that
he speaks for Hendricks, as Presiden
tial candidate. Those who know, say
his speech will be very strong in sup
port of initiation and in denunciation of
bondholding supporters OF our tinan-
cial system, which he characterizes as
an organized crime against the labor
ing classes. He holds greeniIacks tn
be the best money the country eve
saw; denounces the act of 1869. for the
of ali Government bonds in
coin as legalized robbery; favors the
reconciliation of the old silver dollar,
with free coinage and unlimited legal
tender power.

There is a growing conviction here
that Edmunds' letter on Senatorial pat
ronage was the result of several con-
versations with the President, in which
the l~atter's Civil Service views and
pledges were discussed. OF course,
the letter, which expresses the Presi
dents sentiments, is conclusive in plac-
ing its author squarely On The Pre-i-
dents side; consequently 1t breaks
down the Senatorial palronsge practice
of late years, and lakes the lite out OF
the practice knnwn as the courtesy oil

Administration leader in the Senate "a
is probable since this letter, his success
in attacking these abuses "a hardly
be doubted. The tone of the letter in
dictates hat the President, in return iof
Congressional abstention from solici
tation for appointments, is disposed TO
yield the immaterial point of volunta-
rily seeking Senatorial Information as
part of the evidence upon which tc
judge the fitness of appointments,
without accepting such information as
conclusive. Edmunds' proposition is
the same in substance as that which
Trumbull, when in the Senate. en-
braced in the form of a bill. frequently
urging its passage. This bill was ali.
solutely prohibiting upon members o.
Congress, against whom penalties were
provided, for voluntarily soliciting or
recommending the appointment OF any
person to the Civil Service. A goud
understanding is established between
the President and Edmunds. followed
by Nav Hampshire settling down
upon VIM. Chandler, which has prob
ably put an end to the danger OF the
Republican cry of Republican REVOLT
against the Administration. Among
signs of this is Conkling's disavowa,
to day of his purpose In assist In dis
erediting the President title.
The debate on the silver question
will be resumed in the Senate to NOR
row on Matthews resolution for the
payment OF bonds in silver. and Rau
dolph will open it with a speech against
the resolution and a bill Tor the re-
mnnetizstion OF silver dollars. II is
probable the discussion will last all the
week. and q portion OF next week.
