WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The Senate substitute
for the House bill repeating the Resumption Act
has laid upon the Speakers table since last Spring
The attempt that was then made either to
agee to it or to refer it was defeated.
This substitute provided for the reception
of legal-tender notes for customs duties and per
cent bonds after October 1, 1873.
The House Committee on Banking and Currency,
at meeting held to-day, concluded to ask the
House to consent to the reference of this substitute
the idea beng that it shall not be reported back at
present
Some of the members of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee who, last session, were most ear
nest in their efforts to repeal of the Resump-
ton Act, have returned this Winter i'll a much more
conservative frame of mind. Mr. Buckner, the
chairman said to-day that he, unlike some others,
did not desire the failure of resumption. lie was
convinced that it would now take place in accord
ance with the law; and once accomplished, he
should regret very much to have it fail.
There is" said he, "a stronger sentiment in
some parts of the West in favor of reputation
than you Eastern people think; have been fight
ing against it. The low prices of all kinds OF farm
products, the custom of the people TO attribute the
hard times to the action of the Government and
the belief that it is in the power of Government to
grant relief, have caused a dangerous sentiment to
grow up."
"Would the permanent success of resumption
tend to correct these mistakes and dispel these
roneous ideas p asked the correspondent.
81 think it would" said Mr. Buckncr: land |

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Some of the Democrats
are very bitter in their criticism OF Fernando
Wood for his maladroit attack upon the Presi-

resentatives desire more than anything else, is
that affairs in their States shall not be discussed by
Congress; and they are not at all pleased that

first to introduce the subject at the present session.

THE AUsTRO- HUNGARIAN CRISIS.
Hungary Making n Stand against Excessive
Military Expenditure.

LONDON, Oct. 2. - Various special de-
spatches agree that negotiations are progress
ing at Vienna to prevent change OF the entire
Administration. and that the difficulty is in
creased by the growing dissatisfaction In Hun
gary with Count Andrassys whole policy in
connection with the Eastern question. Herr
Won Sell. the Hungarian Minister OF Finance.
who 10 man OF vast knowledge and astonishing
power Of work. has declared that he could not
take the responsibility OF contributing TO the
expenses Of the occupation Of Bosnia after Nov.
l. After a Cabinet council at Pesth. on Sun
day last. Herr Tisza. the Hungarian Premier.
visited Vienna TO report on the condition OF
affairs. He informed the Emperor that the
whole Hungarian NJ nistry must resign unless
some limit be fixed 10 the military expenditure.
and that the expenditure be reduced to what is
quite unavoidable. In consequence OF this
communication. Herr Won Szell was called 10
Vienna. and was received by the Emperor in
an audience lasting nearly two hours, at nich
II may be supposed helnot only gave fully all the
reasons which led him To resign but likewise
the conditions on which he might be induced TO
withdraw his resignation. The Emperor re-
served his decision and conferred with the
Minister Of War and the Chief OF Staff doubt
lated by Herr Won Sell could be complied with.
Vienna despatch 10 the Tunes says: " The
crisis Is undoubtedly very serious, for il can
only be interpreted as a stand made against ex-
an enectual control over this expenditure and
the policy connected with it, But although the
