CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Feb 10.
Mr.. Voorhees, called up the resolutions
submitted by him yesterday in regard to
inquiry as to the Issue Of bonds by cer-
tain railroads predicted upon condi.
tional grants OF lands Of the indians of
the Indian nation.
Mr.. Dorsey submitted an amendment
directing an inquiry 10 be made as to the
expediency Of extending the territorial
form OF government over all parts OF
the country where the same does not
exist and whether rights Of life and prop.
erty can be maintained without such ter
Itorial organization.
After brief discussion the subject
was laid on the table until next week.
Confederation was resumed OF the all
yer bill aud Ingalls, spoke in favor there
OF.
Mr.. Ingalls, quoted from the speech o.
Hon. Jno. Sherman, delivered IN tn.
Senate, 10 the effect that single standard
gold was an American idea, and said that
the statement was void Of truth. The
original American idea was the single
standard Of silver. He spoke at length
a. 10 the history Of gold and silver as
money, and said that gold was the most
cowardly and treacherous Of all metals.
II had no friend or ally that IL did not
sooner or later betray. Referring to the
resumption Of specie payments, he said
that there WA not coin enough in exist
ence TO meet, in fact, thousandtll part
OF the commercial transactions OF the
world, and specie payments never would
be resumed. In fact, Americans were
not very much welded TO coin as
money. They believed that coin and
paper were created by law and had
precisely the value that the government
Issuing ,them declared they should pos
sesa. The Senator from Wisconsin Howe)
in his argument on this bill few days
ago, said that this was not the East
Ggainst the West, and he was right, but
iis was the East against the West and
the South combined. Il was the men
who owned the public debt sgAinst those
who were 10 pay II, il Il ever should be
paid. The bonds OF this country were
exempt from taxation, and they bore
none Of the burdens Of society. The West
anu tub oOutnt III Askiub tuc IhhsASo VI
this bill, were asking less than they
would ever ask again. In conclusion he
referred TO the people Of the West aud
their labors, and said when he reflected
upon the burdens they bore he was as-
tonished at their moderation.
Mr.. Allison, in charge Of the bill, look
the door to close the debate. He ex.
planned at length The provisions Of the
