THE SUPERVISING ARCHITECT OF THE TREASURY
CONDEMNED AT MEETING OF THE WORKING
Weekly Chillicothe crisis., 1878-12-12
XLVTH CONGRESS.

The Senate on the 3rd received batch
of appointments from the President, includ-
ing the New York custom appointees. Several
more bills were introduced to provide for the
recoinago of trade dollars into standard dol
lars, and for making the trade dollar legal
tender. Mr.. Beck introduced resolution,
which passed, asking the secretary of the
treasury for information as TO what amount
and denomination Of silver coin has been re-
ceived in payment of custom dues since the
beginning of the current fiscal year, and wheth-
or or not he has applied silver coin so received
in whole or in part to the payment Of interest
on the bonds or notes of the United States;
what kind Of silver coin has been used, so we
may know If there was subsidiary coin paid.
Mr. Matthews called up the Texas Pacific rail-
road bill and made speech in support of IL
of considerable length. hIr. Matthews argued
that il the government would merely guaran-
tee the payment of interest on the bonds of
the Texas Pacific road to the extent of nearly
two million dollars per anpnm it was mani
fest that the indemnity of the government
was perfect. An ultimate loss to the govern
ment was rendered impossible unless it should
turn out that after the completion of the
road II would not be worth accrued interest
but such a supposition was not. to be enter.

The "re-coinage" fever struck the House also

The Future of RilicrIa.

The Moscow correspondent of The Co.
ioJno Gazette says that an extraordinary
development of industrial activity has to-
ken place in southern Siberia since the re-
cent acquisition by Russia of Scmiritchmsk
Kuldia, and the Iii Valley. The frontier
between Siberia and China is very ;ndet-
mite, and the adjoining territory is inhab'
tied by races which used nominally to be-
long to China, 6ut now openly proclaim
their allegiance to the czar. Taking adj
vantage of this state Of things, the Rus
slams are working the goldfelds of Munis'
sink, which are really in Chinese territory
with considerable success. Another event
which will probably he of great impor.
tancc to Siberia, both from political and
industrial point of view, is the discovery
of the northeastern passage round the
| lchelusllin prOmontory, which has mther'
to been considered inaccessible both ioi
steamers and sailing vessels, and has on
ly once been passed in slcdge, by boat
man named Theluskin, in l742. This pas
sage greatly facilitates the communica'
ton ut European Russia with the Pacific
ana it is expected to atiord great advanta.
ges to Russia in the event of a war witt
England. But it is chiefly for tho devel
opment of the Siberian trade that the dis
c6very will be valuable. 1t is only three
years since connection was discovered
with the Oh and the Ycniscl, and already
Siberia has sent within the present yea
three ships laden with corn, hemp, llax
etc. to Europe. A return trade will prob
ably soon take place from European portI
to the mouth Of the Lena, which woult
place Europe in direct commercial commu
nication with Siberia. Siberia would, th,
correspondent adds, be capable of supply
ing considerable portion of the Europe
an markets with its raw products, if 1t
agriculture were developed and its labor
ng classes increased by colonization.

These figures show an increase Of exports
over 1871 of over 90,00000); the imports
have decreased $l5,O00OO0. In fact the
