they could be, Voorhees, promises in tie
West were not fulfilled. It now appears that
Senators Voorhees, and Jones are the only
members of the Senate finance committee
who favor reporting the House bill to
REPEAL THE RESUMPTION ACT.
Senator Ferry is represented as having
radically changed his views as TO the pro-
priety Of repeating the act. It is expected
that when the Senate finance committe takes
a final vote Tuesday, on questions related to
resumption, a majority of the committee
will report several propositions as substitutes
for the repeal bill, viz. That 80 much Of
the nationel banking act as authorizes the
SECRETARY of the treasury to reissue green
backs, and that all loans which have
been construed by the secretary Of the
treasury as giving him authority to cancel or
retire greenback circulation be repealed; that
after the first of July next, legal tender notes
shall be received
AT PAR FOE CUSTOMS DUES,
and for all private dues, where not expressly
stipulated otherwise; that four per cent.
bonds shall be exchanged for legal tender
notes at par. The substitute, of which the
above is an outline, is understood to meet
the views of all but two members of the
committee, and ,aSmber, states tonight
that he has no doubt it will be substantially
adopted and reported to the Senate. Sec
rotary Sherman reached Washington to-day

Debt purpose on the part of the members

which will stop agitation of the resumption

Senate, go as far as they dare to 60 in this
direction,
