Il SILVER SURPRISE.

The Passage of the Silver Bill Sends Bonds
Up in the London Market, Instead of
Down, AS PrOphesicd.
LONDON, Feb. 16.-The Times saws j:
United States funds have surprised many
people by advancing, instead of falling, on
the news that the silver bill passed in the
manner that will insure it's becoming a law
in much it's present shape. We have always
said the public was not selling the stock to
any appreciate extent, and the weakness
which has now and then characterized
the bonds was due as much as anything to
the passing fears of dealers and to speculat-
i've selling, which only made the market
harder. Hence on receipt of New York
prices and the worst became known the
market naturally rose by the mere efforts of
those who had sold to buy back. Besides it
has been noticed that the limitation put on
the quantity of silver that may be coined in
given time is itself tantamount to max
ing silver subsidiary coinage, at all events
for some considerable time, so that there is
little alarm felt and holders stick to their
bonds. The only thing that will lower the
prices of these Or any other high class stock
just now is dearer money"

sad anticipation is that they are pretty nearly
controlling this government. But he conld
not say that the old veterans south of the
Potomac, who fought and bled IN the war of
1872, should be excluded from the generosity
of the government.
Senator Oglesby said it was wise states
manship to remove the political disabilities of
those engaged in the rebellion who asked to
have them removed. Some of the men who
had disabilities removed were now
rendering valuable service in the government.
Ninety-nin hundredths of the men who
were in the rebellion had come forward and
frankly asked to have their disabilities re-
moved, but there was another class of per-
sons in the South who would not ask to have
their disabilities removed. These very per
sons who were pensioned could be restored
to the rolls by coming forward and having
their disabilities removed. In reply to
Blaine that the pensioners were too old to
render active service in aid of the rebellion.
he said age did not affect patriotism, age did
not affect courage.
Senator Elaine said he had in his eve now
men who came back after the war, and Con-
gress, looking at the fourteenth amendment,
said these men intend to be citizens. and we
will give back to them that which is above
prlce-we will give back their citizenship,
and open to them every honor of the repub-
ic Was it possible the man who had taken
active part in the rebellion against the gov
eminent should have all restored to him; but
the poor old father, who did nothing more
than sympathlze with his son, could have
nothing back The widow of Gen. Zach.
Taylor was on the pension roll. Her son
took an active part in the rebellion. Was
her name to be stricken from the roll be-
cause she bound up tbs wound of Dick
Taylor, her son.
Senator Kirkwood said he, for one, was
perfectly willing to take his share of any obi
UNI which might come from restoring these
old men to the pension rolls. He thought a
great government like ours could forgive past
offenses.
Senator Blaine said if Congress was going
to legislate SO as to exclude old men and wild
oWs from the generosity of the government,
it was taking ground which disfavored the
magnanimity of the government.
Senator ingalls, said the attempt to array
the American Congress against few old
men, was indicative to his mind of a spirit
which would lead q man to strike woman
OF kick baby.
The motion of Senator Oglesby to strike
out the 9Th section Of the bill, was rejected,
yeas z, nays so. The affirmative votes were by
Senators Anthony, Cameron. Wis, Edmunds,

The bill was then read third time and
passed. Yeas, ~ nays, %, Hamlin voting
