tue BLAINE COMMITTEE.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The bad luck oi
the Blaine committee continues. They held
a brief session to-day, three members being
absent. There was some difference of opin.
ion as to Comptroller Porter's decision
cutting off supplies, but all agreed that the
decision was binding, and, u he would not
change his mind, no money could be had:
Therefore they adjourned, subject to the
call of the Chairman, after directing that .
resolution be prepared for presentation i'm
mediately upon the meeting Of congress ap-
propriating $4,000 to carry forward the
investigations. The democrats are elated
at the turn affairs have taken, and freely
predict that the investigation will be . re-
diculous fzzle. Senator Garland, a member
of the committee, remarked tonight that he
believed that affairs would peter out without
taking testimony or making q report. H.
thought many republicans would antagonist
an appropriation of money and thus afford
an easy and not overly dishonorable death
for the investigation. Many of the demo.
tion with Potter's, and suggest, as they are
both about ia fzzle out, the account stands
even. The modification they feel over the
Potter fzzle is somewhat neutralized by the
anticipated failure of Blaine's committee.
In view Of the fact that the democrats on
the committee asked Senator Blame for spe-
cifc allegations Of fraud, he has procured a
file Of the Charleston News and Courier, 4
rampant democratic newspaper, from the
columns of which can be proved all that
Mr.. Blaine or any other republican has
charged,

The Minister'S Wedding Fee.

The Hamilton IN. Y. J Democratic Re-
publican has the following account of q
wedding at the residence of the clergy
man in that village on New Years Day:
The reverend gentleman was at home
to all callers, and curing the day %
gentleman and lady called. They sat
down and accepted the attentions of the
minister, who, well kno wing their GRAND
before they announced it, was trying to
make them feel at home. After con-
siderable skirmishing, the candidate for
groom managed to tell the secret They
wanted to be married. The clergyman
could do that for them, and do it he did,
then and there, in approved style. The
newly-wedded pair desired certificate,
and that WAS dull made out, executed
and delivered. Then came the fee.
How much do you ask for the job?'
asked the youth. The clergyman re-
piled that the amount was always left
to the generosity of the groom. Well
said the groom, times are very hard
and money scarce, but [ guess [ can find
50 cents So he fshed in his pocket
awhile and finally produced what he
called so cents and handed it to the pas
tor. Then the happy couple took their
leave. On looking at the change re-
ceived, the pastor found that one piece
which had evidently been taken for 10
cents was a Scent piece, and, therefore,
his fee had been reduced to the magnif-
cent sum of 43 cents. Yet there was
consolation even in that. The certif-
cate had cost but rs cents, so it left him
a clean profit Of Is cents on the trans
action

IT is reported from Washington thu

IT is reported from Washington that
the Secretary of the Treasury will ask
Congress to enact a law authorizing the
deposit of money in any sum in any
ELECTROMAGNETIC Office in the United
States, for which the postmaster shall
give certificate Of deposit. bearing 3.65
per cent. interest in gold. The certifi-
cate may be exchangeable for 4 per
cent bonds In the sum Of $50 Or its null
tiples. He also desires that Congress
shall warrant sales of these 4 per cent
bonds for currency at the usual gold
premium when the actual gold cannot
conveniently be obtained Under the
law at present, person desiring to buy
a four per cent bond must exchange his
greenbacks for gold, and pay the gold,
making two transactions. Secretary
Sherman also wants to be allowed to
issue bonds of as small denominations
as SO and $40, which are not now per
mitteu by law. The Secretary thinks in
very short time the entire amount of
money intrusted by the people to savings
banks, aggregating nearly 100000, 900,
and belonging to over 100000 persons,
will be invested IN United States securi-
ties, and the Government could refund
all its 5 and 6 per cent. bonds, which
would result in an immense saving of
interest, and would necessitate a steadi-
ness of values, as the greater portion of
the public debt would be owed to It's
citizens. Secretary Sherman declines to
talk about the present condition OF the
syndicate contract, except to say that
funding operations have been paralyZed
by the silver agitation. Just what the
syndicate will do or say about this new
idea of a popular loan is not known,
but, as far as can be learned, the Secre-
tary will not confine their sale to the
syndicate and their agents, but will au-
thorize any bank or banker to dispose
of them for commission OF per cent.
which is the same as allowed the syndi-
cate.

The Postal Savings Banks.
Inter OCEAN

The views of the secretary of the
treasury, as set forth in the letter of our
correspondent published yesterday, up
on the subject Of savings deposits with
postmasters and the issue Of small
popular bonds, cannot be too soon acted
upon. In our judgment they are of the
most Immediately practical character,
affording safety Of deposit, and available
ity of use, to the great mass of the
people, which they not been able to
have heretofore. This is proposition
upon which all should unite 1t will
aid most those needing aid, without in
juring others. It will bring our indebted
ness home, and in case Of need afford
a tangible substitute for deficient cur
rency.
