SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Mr. Davis, of H.,
presented petition of 400 bankers and bus
iness men of Chicago, H., in favor of retir-
ing gold as single standard of value, and
agairst the repeal of the sprcie resumption
act. He spoke of the high standing OF the
signers of this petition, but said in his own
opinion, their views were entertained only
by very small percentage of the popula-
tion Of that city. He also presented the
proceedings of a meeting held at Blooming
ton, ILL.,, his place of residence, in favor of
the reconciliation of the silver dollar, and
in presenting them, said he had no agency
in getting up this meeting, but he believed
its proceedings expressed the opinion of the
people of the whole county, which was the
fourth in population in that State. Referred
TO the Committee on Finance.
Mr.. EdmundS of Vermont, submitted a
lengthy amendment to the preamble of the
resolution introduced by Mr. Matthews of
Ohio, before the recess, declaring the right
of the Government TO pay its bonds IN Sill
yer, etc. The amendment sets forth that
the silver dollar of the United States has
been long obsolete when the existing lCand
OF the United States we're authorized, anT
that the gold coin has been the only lawful
coin: that Congress should not legi>late
to make money at the expense of its cred-
tors shat it was the highest obligation of
the United States to pay its debts in such
and that it would be unjust TO compel them,
or labOring men, either, TO receive silver
dollars or any debased money. Laid on the
table and ordered to be printed.
The resolution to which it is proposed as
an amendment is now being read before the
Senate.
The Senate resumed consideration o. the
resolution of Mr.. Matthews, declaring the
right of the Government to pay its bonds in
silver.
Mr.. Bailey of Tennessee, read a lengthy
argument as to the constitutional powers of
Congress regulating coinage, etc.
EXECUTIVE SESSION.
The Senate was in session about an hour,
and confirmed only half dozen tritling
Northern postmasters.
The following bills were introduced and
referred by Mr.. Hunt of Tennessee, for the
appointment of District Judge for the

POWERS PLENIPorENTIARY.

The Daily TetegrapRs correspondent at
Pera says that the Grand Duke Nicholas, in
his telegram to the Porte, very expressly
asked that two Turkish delegates be sent to
meet him at Kysanlyk, and that they should
have the fullest possible powers. The meet
ing of the Grand Ottoman Council held on
Sunday consequently appointed two pleni-
potentiaries.
The Telegrdm's Constantinople dispatch
reports that the Russians entered Kysanlyk
Saturday. The place was previously burn
ed by the retreating Turks.
