witnesses and examined into the facts Of the
shooting aud killing Of A. II. Blackstone by
Thomas Cook Buebey on the 30ih of August

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Mr. Robbins, from
the committee on ways and means, reported a
substitute for the bill to promote the deposits
of savings in the treasury and for refunding
the national debt, which was referred to the

Office, lawful money Of the United States, in
sums not less than dollar, and shall be en-

positor, and when such deposits amount to $50
they SHALL at the option Of the depositor, be
convertible into four per cent bonds.
On motion of Mr.. Springer to-morrow's ses-
sion was set apart for private business.
The contested election of Dean VS.. Field,

then considered.
After some discussion the speaker said: THE

painful one, to lay a communication before
the House, He then handed to the clerk and
had read a telegraph from the secretary of
State, announcing the death, in Havana, of

which showed they were not locked in.
Also, every chest, bureau, etc, was found
with keys in locks, which proves plainly that

DEPARTMENT OE STATE,
WASHINGTON, d. c., March IL, 1873.
SIR: enclose herewith copy of an act Of
Congress authorizing the coinage of the silver
dollar and restoring it's legal tender. You are
requested to bring the enactment to the notice
of the government to which you are accredited,
and in accordance with the provisions con-
tanned in the second section, to invite said
government in the name of the government of
the United States, to join us in d conference to
adopt common rate between gold and silver,
for the purpose of establishing internationally
the use of the bi-metallic money and securing
fxity of the relative value between those met
ais, such conference to be held at such place
in Europe or the United States, at such time
within six months as may be mutually agreed
upon by the executives of the governments
joining in the same.
As the President, in his annual message to
Congress, expressed his opinion in favor of
maintaining silver as one of the precious met
ais which furnished the coinage of the world,
and keeping up to as full a measure as possible
the value of the two precious metals our in
of Congress to which your attention
is called passed by very
great majorities Of both Houses, the policy of
this country in support Of bimetallic money
may be considered as decided. The position of
CLC CoNioAt wi AASi Aeo y"
western and eastern nations of other hemis-
pheres, gives to it a paramount interest in the
proper adjustment of the two precious metals
in their common service Of furnishing intrinsic
and universal money Of foreign trade, and be-
sides as the principal producer of silver, this
country has just disposition to
promote one of the important uses Of that
precious metal constituent part Of the
money Of the world, you will therefore prompt
ly attract the attention of the government to
which you are accredited to the great interest
which this government feels in the measure
now proposed for confirming the coinage and
proportions of the two precious metals in the
systems of the countries invited to participate
therein to the common advantage OF the corr
MERGE Of the world
You will observe that an early adhesion of at
least three European nations to this project OF
a conference is Of the first importance. This
being secured, it will be in the power of the
President to appoint the commissioners pro
vided for in such case by the act of Congress
You will communicate to me the wishes o.
preferences Of the government addressed on this
subject through you to time and place OF
the proposed conference, that a concurrence in
these points may not be unnecessarily delayed
and, if necessary, you may the telegraph
for the purpose.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,

Ne,r Mail Considerations.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The committee on
post-offices and post-roads Of the House have
nearly completed the bill classifying mail mat
ter and the rates of postage thereon. Mail
matter is divided into four classes: First, writ
ten matter; second, printed newspapers
and periodicals of two kinds, privi-
legged and ordinary; third, other printed
matter; fourth, merchandise. The rate now
existing will probably not be changed, but the
classification is simplifed. The bill will pro
hibit the carrying Of mail matter outside the
mails, and authorizes the postmaster general to
use return post cards and the combined letter
sheet and envelope. Sample copies of newspa-
pers, ETC., are to be admitted to mails at the
same rates as regular issues of registered
matter. The committee is divided
whether any distinction should be made on
rates on second-class matter, and the probabili-
ty is the law will remain as it is, making the
rates two and three cents per pound. The bill
will prohibit the carrying of second-class mat
ter outside the mails.

Hot Springs Commission.
HoT SPRINGS, Ark, March 15.-There is
general anxiety here that Congress should
legislate promptly to extend the terms of the
Hot Springs commission which otherwise
will expire on the LIST of April. It will re-
quire much time yet to settle properly the
conflicting claims of settlers on the govern
ment reservation, and until ttat is accom-
plished nothing can be done towards re-
building the recently burned district or
securing sanitary and other improvements
that are necessary for the benefit of the in
yalids resorting to these healing waters. If
Congress will but settle the land titles, the
revenue from water rents will fully refund
the federal expenditure here, and local taxa
ton and private enterprise will do the rest.
There are thousands of health seekers here
now, and the number nearly doubles an

sion's term before its work is complete
