The Mccormick Telescope.

The resolution offered by Dir. BoCoCK,
rendering the thanks OF the General AS
sembly to Mr.. Mccormick for the gift OF
the great telescope to the University Of Vir-
ginia, being under consideration, Mr..
FAUNTLERoY, Wednesday night, said:
ssMr. Speaker, as a son Of the University,
it will not be obtrusive for me to urge the
passage Of this resolution. It is drawn by
the polished pen and practical hand OF the
gentleman from Appomattox, and it ex.
presses gracefully and gratefully the due
sensibility with which Virginia accepts this
costly contribution to the astronomical de-
partment Of her great University by one OF
her noble sons, who, though resident in a
far-of and new State, yet, like every true
Virginian, still turns fondly to his ma
tive home, and drags at each remove
OF time and space q lengthening chain
of loving reverence for his old mother
State. The distinguished donor OF this no.
BILE benefaction to science has himself been
crowned with the rich rewards ofan inyen-
tive genius, which has greatly enlarged the
field OF mechanical usefulness, and he comes
now, Sir, with the tender devotion OF tilial
affection, and throws into the lap Of his
widowed old mother this bright illustration
of the beautiful. expression OF maternal re-
.compense-s Her children rise up and call
her blessedI' I hope earnestly that the
resolution will be adopted"

We blundered yesterday morning in say
ing that the BARBOUR bill was hurried
through the House, and. as amended there,
passed by the Senate Thursday evening.
The bill did not reach the Senate that even
ing. 1t was taken up in that body ycster-
day, and the House amendment adopted by
one majority. The error occurred from
reading in the Senate proceedings vote
upon the passage OF the bill after having
been reconsidered with the purpose OF get
ting constitutional majority for it, its
friends having conceived that such ma
iority was necessary for it.
The fact was, we were anxious to see il
disposed Of, and this desire inclined us to
the error. During the last fifteen years
there has been SO much that was disagreed
bic or distressing that could not be avoided
that long experience has imbued us with
strong desire to see such things hurried
and gotten through with. This BARBECUE
bill has much trouble in store for the PEG.
Pile. and that should occasion desire to
push it on to its destination.

The Silver Bin.

Taking the votes on the passage OF the
silver bill in the Senate and the House OF
Representatives as an evidence Of the popu.
larity OF the measure of remonetizing silver,
il must haYe hada greater degree OF popu'
lar favor than almost any financial bill in
Congress ever had. The indication was
correct. 1t was irresistibly popular. 1t wa:
sustained by practical good sense, and time
will show that its passage was the most
benetcent measure Of these times.
Silver was demonetized by stealth. Il
was reinstated by the overwhelming voice
OF the people. The rigid and exacting cap
i,alists raised the hue-and-cry against it,
and their means and appliances caused q
volume OF opposition and denunciation I'm.
exampled for its violent dogmatism and ar
rogance. The temper and iliiberality dis.
played by the anti-silver party were sure
sign of their weakness and OF the strictly
class nature OF their interests. The mea-
sure they opposed was national; it was in
tertwIned with the interests Of society in
the aggregate; it was interviewer with the
sympathies OF the people. 1t was irrepres-
sible, and Of course triumphant.
Now. we shall see who is hurt by the
measure. The people cannot be. There is
a world Of prophecies that must be unful
flied and forgotten: prophecies made for
etfect-to ..astonish the natives and demo-
ralize the silver army. In this mode OF fight
ing the gold.worshippers eycelled the hor-
rible regiments OF the Chinese war. But
the silver infantry were as ingenious in
shooting them in their yaulting caners as
were the English soldiers in taking of the
horribles when ..hying.' a vast amount
OF frenzied logic, backed by unnumbered
columns OF irresistible figures, is buried
beneath. the wreck OF the cosflict, @5 S.
Let our friends the gold-worshippers com
sole themselves that they have got an admi-
rable measure OF fnance-that silver Is to
be associated With gold in guarding the sol
yeney OF the currency they will bethe
sponsors for.the national media Of trade
that they will remain the firm and stationary
sentinels, while their aper representatives
will, with the speed and the permeating pow
err OF the winds, reach ali parts OF the land and
afford The highest facility to intercourse,
commercial and social. III this cannot con-

The Barbour Bill.

Our contemporary of the Petersburg
Post. q very eonsiderate and sagacious gen
t,emaa. IS well known as fayoring the idea
OF readiusting the public debt. He makes
some prudent remarks touching the BAR
BouR bill, from which we extract the foi'
lowing words:
we think now, rs we have heretofore re.
neatefiv remarked, that 4 uniform rate OF
interest Of four per cent. would be the Dest
medium upon which to permanently settle
the whole debt question, and make 1t salts
factory and equitable between both debtor
and creditor. We could pay that without
more embarrassment, and what a creditor
can reasonably pay he should pay. Such
bill, too, properly framed, would get rid OF
all future conflict OF interests, and perma-
nentlNremove the debt question from the
realm OF politics. Mr.. Barbour's bill, we
fear. will fail to accomplish these essential
ends, and to that extent we consider lt,oB-
jectionable. The old sore will remain open,
and will break out with renewed violence
in future elections.
But the misfortune OF the whole matter is
that the bill does not settle anything and
opens wider the gate Of continued contro-
versy and strife.
u6 Il OSt 10 CuihSiy WI ASSts u = VIZ f,SA
cent. can be paid with regularity. We think
for that interest the debt might be arranged
with the public creditor. But the BARBOUR
bill leaves the matter loosely, with grave
questions Of law to be settled that may take
time and involve losses and njuries we little
dream Of. These losses and injuries must
fall upon the State as wellsas the bondhold-
ers. Who can set any limit to them? Then
the "receiyabilities" and the "peelers"
are left in condition Of uncertainty, and
how are their claims to be disposed OF
A bill that meets the necessities and the
expectations Of the people must be one OF
a character far more comprehensive and
just-far more practical and statesmanlike-
than the BARBOUR bill. With material to
build noble edifce, the trainers have con-
structed building that is disiointed, un-
slightly, and marred by openings that expose
its interior, and whose fapping windows
and creaking doors give neither rest nor
comfort to its occupants. The builders
should have secured rest and quiet to every
body; and they have failed.

The Silver BiIl.

WASHINGTON, February 21.-After tie.
diUus struggle Of the extreme silver and
reenback men to prevent it, the House at
late hour this afternoon reached vote on
the Senate amendments to the silver bill,
and they were all concuTred in by MAORI
ty much greater than tWoShirds. The bill
will now go to the President. During this
week number OF the advocates OF the bill
have had interviews with the President and
have. besought him to sink his objections
and sign the bill. They claim that they have
made great impression upon him, and that
he viii be induced in the end to yield TO
their wishes.
One argument which has been used with
the President by persons who depend largely
for effect upon their ability to get up an eX-
element is that IL the bill is not signed by
him the popular discontent may reach sucn
dangerous proportions as to threaten the
pntI;c peace. A Pennsylvania member said
that, whether we'll founded or not, the
whole vast miningand manufacturing popu-
lation.. OF that State, who readily become
a prey to any deiuslon IN when they
see, Z, counterfeit presentment OF better
times. were imbued with the idea that
the t,e siiyerlbill would afford them relief. Ii
fine President refused to sign the bill he
Thought outbreaks among them would be
irnminent.a He said, further, that if the
President would siga the bill he thought it
could be promised that "a halt would be
called in any further Legislation on the
linances.!so that it might be seen what the
effect of the silver bill would be. These
arguments may have some effect on the
President. The silver men said to-day, also,
that they think they seesome signs of weak
.ening5 in. Secretary Sherman. He said to a
senator that IL the bill was passed and be-
came q law he would not attempt TO thwart
its operations, but would carry out all its
provisions faithfully. ana eonscientiously.---
