WASHINGTON, Feb. IS.

AVN Ccs ~
To-day's action OF the House MEM
bers of the silver league, i'll deciding
to refer the Silver bill, with the Senate
amendments, to the Banking and Cur
rency COMMITTEES, excites some hope
among its opponents that it may fail to
become a law. This action has, I'M
doubtedly. exposed the bill to some
peril, but there is no reason to believe
that more than an extremely small
number of silver men will.hesitate to
concur in all the Senate amendments
in case they find that a two thirds vote
can not be secured in both branches of
Congress for n means more radical.
The number OF irreconcilable will not,
from present appearances, be nearly
large enough to deprive the Senate
amendments of a two-thirds vote for
concurrence, or to prevent the passage
OF the bill over veto.
After the adjournment of the House
yesterday about 60 members IN favor
of the reconciliation of silver con-
vened in the room of the Committee
on Judiciary, under the name OF the
Silver Union. Representative Eden
offered the following:
Resolved, That to morrow, immedl-
ately after the morning hour, a motion
be made by Buckner to proceed with
the business on the Speakers table,
and on reaching the bill to remone
tie silver, the previous question shall
be called, on concurring in the enate
amendments, and there shall be no
debate.
Bright thought there were serious
objections to the bill as returned. One
was to the Limitation of coinage and
another striking out the feature of free
coinage from the House bill. He
wanted to make some protest against
this, for this was a discrimination
against both persons and the metal.
The holders of gold were privileged
to have their gold bullion coined free
and citizens and foreigners could thus
be benefited alike.
Wright offered a resolution that the
bill be reported as it came from the
Senate. 1t had been a long time un-
der discussion and the President
would certainly veto any change, and
by adopting the Senate bill, which was
substantially as good and the same as
the other, they made sure Of its pass
ing the Senate over a veto.
In the Senate the bill to enable In
dams to become citizens was taken up
during the morning hour, and Whyte
spoke in opposition to it. AT h ex-
piration OF the morning hour the fur
Their consideration of the bill was post
poned till Monday next.
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, intro
duced a bill to reinstate certain officers
of the United States Army. 1t pro-
vides that all officers of the United
States Army, who have served therein
more than 20 years continuously, and
served also during the late rebellion,
and who we're wounded and breveted
for gallant service in the field of action,
and who were honorably mustered out
of service under Section II of the Act
of July Is, 1870, shall be reinstated and
retired AS of the date they were respec-
lively mustered out.
The Silver bill with the Senate
amendments was returned to the
House Immediately after the com
mencement of the session to day, and
placed OH the Speakers table, with
other accumulated business which has
the precedence. After the reading of
the journal, on motion of Ewing. the
Bland Silver bill, with the Senate
amendments, was ordered printed.

A murder was committed at Stanton,
Stanton county, Nebraska, Saturday

the Rustmeyer's, playing cards. A
dispute arose, when Speych invited
one Of the Rustmeyer's out doors and
gave him a whipping, and then started
for home. He was soon afterwards
found with his skull fractured, and
died in a few hours. The Rustmeyer
brothers were arrested for the crime.
