The Ring Of silver.

On Friday last the concurrent reso-
luton of Senator Matthews passed the
Senate by vote of 43 to q. The fol-
lowing is the text of the resolution,
without the preamble:
ResolUed, By the Senate (the House
of Representative coucurring therein)
that all the bonds of the United States
issued, or authorized to be issued, un.
der the said acts of Congress herein
before cited, are payable, principal
and interest, at the option of the gov
ernment of the United States, in silver
dollars of the coinage of the United
States, containing 4l2X grains each of
standard silver, aud that to restore to
its coinage such silver coin as legal
tender in payment OF said bonds, prin-
cipal and interest, is not in violation
of the public faith, nor in derogatiOn
of the rights of the public creditors.
Party lines were not regarded in the
vote, as there were twenty y-three DEM
ocrats, one Independent Davis, of H.
and nineteen Republicans, voting in
the Affirmative. and fifteen Republicans
and seven Democrats in the negative.
The silver men feel confident of their
ability to pass the Bland bill even over
the veto should the President inter-
pose that obstacle.

Washington special dated the 27th'
says: "Buckner, Chairman of the
House Committee on Banking and
Currency, has prepared an important
bill bearing upon the financial prob
lem, which he will introduce In the

calling in of National Bank circulation
and substituting therefor Treasury

gold bond, the face Of the note to bear
the inscription: sThe United States is
Indebted to bearer - The bill
further provides for the issue of these
notes to an amount equal to the sum
total of National Bank notes now In
circulation. which is about $316, ,O0O,-
600. Under this bill National Banks
will be relieyed of one per cent. tax on
circulation, and the controvertibility
of the notes, for which 1t provides,
gives such notes a double advantage
over legal tenders in making them re-
ceivable for four per cent. gold bonds
at par, as well as for the payment of
duties on imports. Under the opera
tions of this bill the six per cent. bonds
are to be called in and four per cent.
bonds substituted, which will result
in q saving of $4,000, 600 year in in
terest. 1t is believed the measure pro-
posed will be generally acceptable to
the country. A circulating medium
will be afforded superior to legal ten
der notes, since it will be receivable
for customs duties, which legal tender
is not; and the feature of intercOn-
vertibility for fourper cent. gold bonds
at par, gives it value above that of
the tegai-tender note. The National
Banks will also be relieved of all res
possibility for their circulation, and
the present tax of one per cent. there
on, amounting to about So. AGO, 600 per
annum, and this, it is brlieved, will
commend the measure to their favor"

be looked after at some time not in
the remote future. But the great
speech of the caucus was that of Ben
Butler, occupying twenty-five min

suggestions, prominent among which
was the one, that if the Silver Bill
passed both Houses by respectable
majority, aud Mr.. Hayes should dare
to veto the will of the people, then 1t
was the duty of the lower House, to
attach the silver Bill and repeal of the
resumption act, on to all appropria-
tons for money, and then it would
have to go through and become q law
or the bloated bondholers would not
get even as much as the interest on
their bonds. After further desaltory
remarks the causes adjourned to meet
again upon the call of its chairman.

made dearer, just as wheat would be

silver really impairs the obligation of

the National Government do that
