TRADE DoLLARs.-The Secretary oil
the Treasury on the 18th inst, sent to
the Senate . statement of the circum-
stances under which the coinage of the
trade dollars was stopped. He enclosed
a letter from the Director of the MINIS
stating that Che coinage Of these dollars
was SUSPENDED for the reason thatit was
in excess of ihe demand for export, and
also Cor the reason that owing TO the de-
cline in the value Of silver and appFe-
citation Of United States notes, trade dol
lars were being placed in domestic cir
culasion, contrary tn the intention Of the

subject that could possibly be brought

Of the first duties oil the hour, as demon

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL PRos-
PEcT.-It is safe TO say that after the
fourth Of March the Democrats will
have at least forty Senators, and the
Republicans iwenty-six, certain. OF
the remaining ten Senators in doubt, il
is probable the Democrats win get more
than halfofthem; but should the Republic
cans carry them all they would still be
in the minority by four. As to the
House, there are fifty close districts,
where msjorties run below 1000, thirty
OF which are held by the Republicans and
twenty by the Democrats, and Of these
the Republicans will have tocaEry thir-
ty-six, or six more than they now hold,
10 order TO get majority. That "un-
known quantity"-the National party
may have considerable to do with the
complexion of the next House, bot il is
not probable it will draw much strength
from the Democratic ranks. Indeed.
there is bright probability that both
Houses win be Democratic during the
last half Of President Hayes admins
tration.

Court House, which have been needed for
long time. The work is now progressing and
the interior Of the building presents an improved

which attracts the eye Of strangers, and gives
them an opinion Of the energy Of a people, more
than the neatness and appropriateness Of their

He maintained that 30 far as the title Of
President Hayes was concerned Il was
Absolutely impregnable: that NO power
existed In the federal governmental as
sail that iilles that the constitution had
left the election for President and Vice
President entirely in the control Of the
States, and all that the federal legisia-
tive branch had to DO with the matter
was TO count The votes sent Up By the
States and declare the result.
"The President, be said, wasa co-or-
dinale branch of the government, and
Congress could no more undertake to
assail his tile than he could undertake
TO assail theirs. He dismissed as un-
worthy of consideration the pretense
that Congress could establish tribunal,
or delegate any tribunal already IN exis-
tence, 70 pass upon the tile Of q Presi-
dent after be had been declared elected
in the mode provided by the constitu-
lion. He declared that there could be
90 conceivable combination Of circum-
stance under which his assent could be
obtained to any proposition attacking
the title Of Mr.. Hayes. There was but
one way by which President Hayes or
any other President could be reached.
and that was by the constitutional meth
cd OF impeachment, and the very act OF
a resort 10 impeachment was, Of course,
full and complete acknowledgement
Of the validity Of the presidents title.
"Senaior Ransom, of North Carolina,

Ransom said that as Senator he felt a
deIicscy in addressing himself to this
subject, because in the possible contin-
gency Of an impeachment be held that
IL would be proper for Senators TO have
expressed no opinion in advance on any
of the collateral branches ofthe subject.
But he desired to say that he was fixed
and immovable in the opinion that no
power existed anywhere TO assail or
question the title by which President
Hayes holds his Office, and il was i'm
possible that be could be party to any
movement looking to such an end. He
believed that in thus speaking he rep
resented The voice of the South; that
the South would view with distrust and
alarm the indication of any purpose to
reverse the verdict which placed Mr..
Hayes in the chair Of the chief magis-
trafe. While this was the case he
agreed that the frauds which had been
practiced should be exposed.

Mr.. Pierce, OF Massachusetts, both spoke
in discreet and conservative style, and
