silver Certtfcates-- Coinaoe Facilities.

Stlver Certtfcates--COinaOeF Facilities,
WASHINGTON, March l1.-Secretary Sherman
was before the committee on coinage. weights
and measures this morning, and gave his views
about the proposed measure for issuing certiti-
Gates of deposit of silver bullion. In this con-
nection the question was discussed as to
whether such certificates should merely repre-
sent the bullion at its market value or whether
the government should buy bullion with the
certificates. It seemed to be conceded that the
certificates should be issued, but the COM
mtttee came to no conclusion as to the, details
The secretary said silver certificates issued to
deposit0rs of silver bullion were to be based on
the actual market value Of the silver on the
day of deposit, based upon London and New
York quotations of that day. If they were to
be based upon the coinage value of the bullion
they would never be presented for redemption
until silver was worth So pence per pound.
The secretary favored the issue of these silver
certificates, and the receipt of bullion on de-
post for them at but one point, and that New
York, as the great silver market Of the country.
He seemed to think that if deposits
were allowed to be made at San francisco
and Carson, city, the bullionists, would not sell
eminent, as they would have the use Of the
certificates, while they were still reserving their
silver. This could not SO we'll be done in New
York, with its supplies coming from Europe
Mexico, and this country. As question as to
the cost OF doubling capacity Of minis, he re-
| more OF delay than cost, and more of the sup
ply of bullion than the capacity Of the mints.
The secretary gave it as his opinion that under
legislation as it stands, from $4,000, 600
! to 100 1900 silver dollars can be
put in circulation, and kept al

the United States against Gen. o. Howard, late
commissioner of the freedmens' refuge and
abandoned lands, was taken up. This is an
action to recover $ls,464 found to be due on
settlement of his accounts, and it is alleged
these moneys came into his hands by virtue of
his being such commissioner and trustee, the
amounts being due colored soldiers, ETC., and
under an act of Congress a large portion of this
fund was invested. The defence was that the
subject matter of this case had been the sab

exculpated; that the funds in question were in
the hands of G. w. Ballock, a detailed officer,
and defendant was not responsible. Under in

WASHINGTON March 1.-THE secretary Of the
interior transmitted to the Senate to-day a COM
munication from the chairman of the govern
ment directors of the Union Pacific railroad
company, showing the total present investment
of the Union Pacific in other roads to be over
three million dollars. Attention is called to
the fact that the Union Pacific intends i'm
mediately to aid in the construction Of a road
from suitable point on the line to the Black
Hills, while the object of the above investment
was and is to bring business
to the line of the Union Pacific The
government directors invite attention to a
previous report in which they say s'the ability
of the company to make the advances referred
to shows that it could have returned more to
the government than it has, and raises the ques-
ton OF the power Of the company to divert it's

in addition to that at New Orleans. With those,
five or six millions month could be coined At
present, making all allowances for Interrupt
tions, two millions and half could be coined

Mr.. Hewitt said he was not making an attack
on the civil service reform of the President,
because he thought he had no civil fservice
policy. Among his other appointments were
those Of Wells, Anderson, Oaaasnave and KEN
ner in Louisiana, and Of Stems IN Florida.
The President had also broken his pledge by
appointing thyee personal fiends-Noyes, who
had put HAYES III nomination, a. minister to
France; Comfy, who had discovered Hayes,
as consul to Frankfort. str. Hewitt then sent
to the clerks desk and had read q letter from
Comfy to a private friend, in which he pictured
the duties Of minister as, principally going to
take another drink, (Which was read amid much
laughter).
Mr.. Hewitt resumed his speech, and pro-
ceeded to criticise the diplomatic appointments.
Having mentioned the name of Lee, consul
general at Frankfort, Mr.. Jones, Of Ohio, de-
Tended that appointment, and said that Lee
was man of culture, capacity and integrity,
and that no better selection could have been
made. e2 b
Mr.. Hewitt said that he was glad to hear it,
but he disclaimeds any intention of impugning
Lees character or abilities. His objection to
it was that the appointment had been made on
personal grounds. He asked Mr.. Jones whether
Lee was q German scholar?
Mr. Jones replied that Lee q i'd both trans

culture he was up to the Jeffersonian standard.
