The crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1877-1878, 1878-04-11

Keepers place is not flt for him. The only
reason why have to believe that II Is not flt
for him is. bee ause its last two predecessors
were not at for it. | should think the place
might have been fairly fit for him because
his case seems to be answered by the test,
Better doorkeeper In the house Of the
Lord. than to dwell in the tents Of the wick
ed" LLaughter.l The gentleman from New
York says that he shall vote according TO
the orders of his party. Inever vote ac-
cording to the orders OF anybody under God,
II believe my party to be wrong, whether
/ am Democrat opposing the extension OF
slavery. or whether am Republican op-
posing any wrong, stand with those who
stand by me, and see the light as God gives
me to see 1t. and not otherwise, and the
party may go to the place where most par
ties do.
Washington Notes.
PROSPECTS FoR SILVER.
The Secretary Of the Treasury was
lnterrogated as to his opinions on the issue
Of silver, n few days ago, and said: be-
lieve We can maintain at par In gold, n
certain amount OF silver dollars. Precisely
what amount should not like to say. be-
cause that is n question OF opinlon but
would have an idea that we can maintain at
par in gold. no less than 5O000,0 600. per-
haps more, say from $50 OOO, 600 to 500 .C0O,-
900; but whenever those silver dollars be-
come so abundant and so burdensome that
the people would not have them. l would
not circulate them. Undoubtedly they
would gradually be sunk TO the value OF
the bullion in them, in my opinion, but do
not think 1t wise for either this committee
or myself to discuss this question much,
because the silver bill is a law and what
ever we may think of its effect the public
mind will not be satisfied until that law is
fairly tried, the effect OF silver is not going
to be very rapid. or will the fall in silver be
anything like so rapid rs is probably feared,
and long before silver dollars can sink to
the value of silver bullion Congress will
undoubtedly correct the law II 1t was to
have that effect.
PRESIDENT HAYES SERENE.
Several gentlemen who called on the
President on Monday, having incidentally
alluded to the position of the Republican
Senators toward him. he replied that he
supposed there was now better feeling
among them, as from what he could hear
they have recently given expression to their
views concerning him, and, especially, he
thought Senator Howe felt better after the
delivery of his speech. The President does
not seem In the least disturbed by adverse
criticism, placing himself on the ground
that he is acting in accordance with his
sense OF right.
SECRETARY sHERMAN's VIEWS.
Secretary Sherman was before the
committee on banking and currency on
Monday by invitation and in the course Of
his statement he claimed that after the re-
sumption Of specie payments he will have
the authority to REISSUE three hundred
million dollars of United States notes un-
der the authority of the existing law Of
1873, and contained In the revised statutes
relative to REISSUE.
