THE Bland silver BILL with the
Senate amendments, was rushed through
the House, on Thursday. A leading
New York daily says: The manner of
the concurrence was worthy of House
of Representatives which passed the
Bland bill, free coinage and all, without
a word of debate, and by an over
whelming vote. To be consistent, il
voted, on Thursday, to send the bill to
the President, with the Senate amend
ments, after just one hours rot-it
cannot be called debate-and again bv
an overwhelming vote The spirit in
which it approached the subject could
not have been better illustrated than by
that one disorder y hour, in which mem
bers danced around the chair Of the
Nice-President Of the late Confederacy,
begging for two minutes, one minute,
half a minute, in which to express their
views, and then rushed to their desks
to gabbie off a paragraph or tNo from
their piles of manuscript, thus wedging
the whole mass into 1.-THE Congress
sional Record" But the result is of
more Importance than the method. The
moderate advocates of silver and the
defenders of the public faith joined
hands to defeat the three-score and ten
regulators, and the Silver Bill goes to
the President 1t is not doubted that
he will veto it. He will be right. The
bill, in its present form, can be inter-
preted and executed in entire harmony
with the Resumption Act Neverthe-
less, it is an essentially dishonest and
dishonorable measure.

A MOVEMENT is on foot to ask the
Legislature to make an appropriation to
defray the expenses in erecting a monu-
ment to the memory of the Union sol
diers and sailors, who died in the SER
vice of their country, and who are
buried in Maryland soil. The move,
ment originated some time ago with the
Grand Army Of the Republic in this
State. 1t is probable the proposed
structure will be placed in one of the
public squares of Baltimore. The fol-
