TIE SILVER QUESTION.

A discussion Of the silver question oc
cupied considerable time in the senstl
yesterday. Mr.. Jones spoke at length a
to the power granted congress by tbs
constitution to coin money, regulate it
value. etc., and argued that at the time
the acts of 1869, to strengthen public
credit, and Of 1870, to authorize the
funding Of the national debt were
passed, the silver dollar was the Iega'
tender coin of the country, and con,
gress had no power to exclude it from
the coinage Of the country. If any coin
should have been abolished on account
Of being unstable in value it should have
been gold. He spoke Of the advantages
Of silver money, and said there was q
large channel in the business Of the
country which silver alone could fill. 1t
was emphatically the money Of the peo-
pie. In conclusion, be advocated tie
adoption of the resolution of Mr.. Mat
theWs, because he thought it was for the
true interests of the country. Mr.. Cock.
rell said be proposed to review the law
and facts embodied 10 the resolution Ct
the senator from Ohio, and argued
that the bonds were payable in both gold
and silver. He had prepared, to submit
to the high court Of national honor and
public faith, about which he had heard
SO much, a petition on the part Of the
~bondholders as plaintiffs, against the
United States of America as defendants,
demanding payment in gold alone and

ca, setting up their right to pay the bonds,
principal and interest, in silver cola Of
4l2l grains to the dollar; also, q replica
ton by a b~ondholder denying this right
and giving s for demanding gold
alone. Mr.. Ceekrell then quoted extern
siyely from various financial acts of con
gress to show that the government had a
right to pay the bonds in silver, and also
reviewed the argument in behalf Of the
single standard alone; but before be had
spoken long yielded to Mr.. Edmunds, on
whose motion the senate went into ex-
ecutive session.
