COLUMBUS, Feb. 19.-General Tom Ewing,
who is ell route for Washington, spent yes
terday here. Gen. Ewing expresses him
self freely as emphatically opposed to the
Bland Silver Bill as it passed the Senate,
and asserts with warmth that the amend
ments shall not receive concurrence in the
House if he can prevent it.

cially proposes to combat, and he thinks
the House will not sanction anything short
Of unlimited coinage He is also opposed
to the amendment providing for issuing GER
tifcates to depositors Of silver coin to be re-
ceivable for all public dues He says he
does not believe the President would veto
the Bland Bill, but even if he did exercise
his veto Mr.. Ewing says he believes the
silver men are sufficiently strong to insist
on the passage of the bill in substantially
the same shape as it passed the House and

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.
The silver song in the Senate has ceased
The concert closed in a manner that would
have been very edifying to the American
people if they could only have seen the an
tics of the grave and reverend performers
when the last notes were sounded. | know
that every one of your readers will say
impossible and cry ''shame" that an "ir-
responsible scribbler'' should be permitted,
10 so speak of the august rulers of the
country, when they read my statement that
a large proportion of the Senators were as
drunk as billed owls sometime before the
final vote was taken this morning at D
o clock. But they were nevertheless, as
every observing spectator will testify. An
all night session with plenty of wine and
brandy in the cloak-rooms, was too much
for many of them. Speeches were made by
men whose utteraEee was thick, and re-
piled to by men who had to grasp the backs
of chairs for support.
If any Senator questions this statement,
or any reader desires more specific infortna-
ton. the undersigned will painful as the
task may be, undertake tog give a list of the
names of the distinguished inebriates. The
bill as passed you have, OF course, received
by wire, so | will say nothing of its provi-
sions except to call attention to the fact
that my prophecy that the Senate would
materially modify the Bland Bill has been
verified. Whether the House will agree to
the Senate amendments is now the ques-
ton. l think it will, for fear of endanger-
ing the whole, by again placing it in the
hands of the Senate when that august body
is clothed in it's right mind.
THE HOUSE
has done nothing during the past week but
demonstrate the brilliant capacity of the
Democratic party to make an ass of itself
upon the slightest provocation. The row
between Hewitt and Aiken and the rest OF
the distinguished galoots was simply dis
graceful. The finishing touch to the pretty
picture was the appearance of the Hon.

,ational Associated Press to the Star.

OMAHA, NEB,, Feb. 1S.-Captain R. Nor
wood of the Second Cavalry, arrived from
Fort Ellis last night, en- route to Washing
ton. He confirms Major Walsh's statement
concerning the situation of Sitting Bulls
band. He says there has been no trouble
and will be none before spring. Friendly
Crows, to whom the Sioux are sworn enc
mics, have hunted off their reservations in
Northern Montana during the winter, and
have seen no Sioux. Captain Price, of the
Third Cavalry, has just arrived from Fort
Mckinney. He says of Sitting Bull: AS
long as buffalo remainn North Sitting Bull
will stay there. The Canadians will not
feed him when his supply runs out. If
these Indians want to fight in the spring
they can, | think, put six thousand men in
the field, as large in number as their force
in 1876 and make q campaign equally as
disastrous to the United States.

THE SILVER BILL.
WASHINGTON Feb. 18.-The friends of
silver reconciliation are exultant at their
triumph in the Senate. The debate and
struggle over the amendments were long
and exhaustng. There were no long set
speeches, and Senators could not afford to
retire for rest, as they could not tell at what
moment they would be called on to vote.
Considering all this, and the multitude of
propositions as amendments, that there had
been no conference of the friends of the bill
to arrange a policy, it is a matter of con-
graduation that the bill was put finally into
such good shape.
HARD ON HEWITT.
The idea of attributing to Tucker Gibson
and Lamar any indifference to Mr.. Tilden's $
Inauguration, is the merest drivel of malice
and sander. All of them had the closest
personal relations with Mr.. Tilden, and had
as much or more to expect from his acces-
sion to power than any public men in
America. Two of them, Messrs. Tucker
and Gibson, would probably have had
the offer of positions in Tilden's Cab
met. Mr.. Hewitt's conduct in undertak-
ing to quote, and yet msrepresenting their
confidential intercourse, is only another
proof how utterly unfit he is for the respon-
sibiities of public life. For some reason or
other, he seems to be unable to tell the
truth. His principal business in Congress
now seems to be the garrulous and egotisti-
cal statement of his unlucky career as Chair
man of the Democratic National Commit
tee. He is soured with Tilden, the South
his old associates, and everything and every
body but himself, for whom he has great
admiration.
