At cluous Of the Silver men. 10 the United

would buy all the silver that was coined 10 or
der to resume specie payment, and the country,
consequently, not get dollar of it. he would
not vote for the bill 10 its present shape. Cen
cral Butler also opposed the passage OF the bill
UPON the ground that under the provision max
iog silver legal teuder. except when other
wise provided, everybody would take advantage
of the exception. 1t was ioally agreed to refer
it to the Committee 90 Banking and Currency.
1t is By NJ means impossible that the Seoate' 8
amendments will not Do concurred 10, but,
whether concurred 10 or not. it is more than
probable the President will veto it, and, if he
doss, its passage over his vote is still doubtful.
Passed or defeated, however, thers is no diff
ference Of opinion concerning the ACCESSIBILITY
Of determining its fate Immediately, for the 10.
ju!ious Tests Of the uncertainty regarding it
are almost as great as those that will result
from its passage.
