oh the rippling and the ioaming,
Falling not from dawn till cleaning,
where the rapids are descending, as for ages
they have donei
On each downward platform taking
Just IL moments rest, then breaking
into sweet enchanting laughter nj tho-gleoful
triumph won;
All the latent echoes waking
With the fun
sweeping from their rocky portal,
ROBBED at once in light immortal,
BRINGING infinite revealings from tho silences
profound;
How the little eddies whiten,
And the longer reaches brighten,
A the showers OF brilliant dewdrops on their
slivery slopes rebound;
Falling into gems that tighten
All around.
When the sunbeams come unbidden
To behold the marvel hidden,
All the waters take them captive, to adorn
their uliment white;
But the rainbow tells the wonder
OF the radiance lying under,
And the sun in regal beauty stoops to claim
his own by right,
Till the ripples fall asunder-
Lost in light
On the brink the moses glisten,
And the grasses stop 10 listen
Al Of ha
flashing byi
Overhead tho elm-trees stately,
In their hearts rejoicing greatly
At the springs OF welcome GOODNESS that be-
meath their strongholds lie,
Spread their myriad leaves sedately
10 the sky.
When at night the stars assemble
In the iar blue heavens, and tremblc
At their own reflected splendor, on the torrent
borne away,
Then the laughing waves discover
How the moon-earths timid lover
Watches for the perfect mirror they have
broken in their play;
watches-with the stars above her
Till the day.
Through all seasons varied phrases,
Still the waters speak their puises
o4 the Power that sweeps them outward, in
their tullnes. 10 the deep;
All their rush and tumult guiding,
For each drop path dividing,
I'LL in iar-of breadtLs OF ocean each its des-
tined place shall keep,
And at last, in calm subsiding,
Fall asleep.

THE ELEVATED RAILROAD BILLS.
GENERAL sHARPEs BILL REPORTED FAvoRABLY-

THE SENATE RAILROAD COMMITTEE DEFERs
ACTION on THE FIvE-CENT BILL.
rBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRTBUNE.l
ALBANY, May 15.-The Senate Committee on
Railroads met to-day, and without any discussion
voted unanimously to report favorably General
Sharpe's bill excluding the elevated railroads Of
New-York from Nassau and all other streets south
of the City Hall which are not now included in the
rapid transit routes At the meeting of the Senate
in the evening Senator Wagner reported the bill
and Senator Wagstatf asked unanimous consent
that it be at once considered, but Senator Jacobs
Directing the bill was put regularly at the bottom
of the calendar It's friends will do all in therpower
to hasten its passage The bill has been amended
as follows:
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to
vent the exercise OF any rights that may exist 10 cross
e and westerly or to take away any right to run upon
Church-st
The amendment was made so as to protect the
Metropolitan Transit Company's rights if it still
has any. The amendment will render necessary,
however, the return of the bill to the Assembly for
approval
The Committee on Railroads reported favorably
at the same time a railroad bill introduced by Sem
ator Pierce, which is precisely similar to Mr..
Bramans one In the Assembly authorizing the st.
Nicholas Avenue Railroad to put tracks on Broad
way north of Forty-second-st. His bill evidently
has some vitality yet, and there may be a. an
ture during the usual confusion at the last
hours Of the session. The Railroad Committee
also reported fayoraby bill directing the
Metropolitan Transit Company of New-York to file
a map with the County Clerk, showing the routes
for an elevated road that it has selected. 1t has
been supposed that this company desires to secure
Legislative recognition from a fear that its charter
has expired. new section was. therefore, added
to the bill, affirming that nothing III it implied re-
cognition of charter that had legally expired.
Mr.. Galvin's bill reducing fares on the elevated
railroads of New-York to a uniform rate of cents
was not considered by the Senate Committee on
Railroads, as was anticipated. Mr. Calvin ap-
peared before the committee but was not heard, as
1t had postponed the consideration of the bill till
Tuesday next. This pOspOnement was sore dis
appOintment to the New-YOrk members, as the time
Of the Legislature is dwindling away so fast that
bills whose consideration is postponed are likely
not to pass.

OBJECTS OF THE BILL.

UNLIMITED REMONETIZATION OF sILvER-THE GOV
FRNMENT TO BE swINDLED OF ENORMOUS
SUMS OF MoNEY-ALL THE SILVER IN THE
WORLD TO BE EMPTIED INTO AMERICA.
IRON THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRTBUNEJ
WAsHINGToN, May 15.-The most important fea-
lures of this Warner bill and the only ones which
have provoked debate are as follows:
l. 1t makes the silver dollar weighing 41212
grains unit" as well as the gold dollar weighing
25s1O grains.
. Ii authorizes the free coinage of silver bullion
into standard dollars for the benefit of the depostOr
g. II provides for the redemption of subsidiary
silver CONS in legal-tender money
j. 1t requires the Secretary of the Treasury to re-
ceiye silver coin and bullion deposit ana to is
sue certificates therefor on the same terms on
which he is now required TO receive gold coin and
bullion.
8 1t stops the coinage of standard silver dollars
on Government account
G. 1t directs the President TO reopen diplomatic
negotiations for the establishment of common
international mint ratio between the values of gold
and silver
T. makes no further provision for the coinage
Of the trade dollar.
What the author of the bill means by proposing
T. enact that the gold and silver dollar shall each
be a unit " be alone probably knows. The law as
now stands in the statute book declares that the
gold dollar shall be the unit of value" and is in
tcgible but to declare by statute that one OF the
Of the United States shall be gold or silver
dollar, or unit" is about as sensible as to enact
that there shall be in certain division OF the Post
Office Department twelve clerks, "or Dozen"
Congress cannot make silver or gold dollar
either more or less than unit" but
II may make either both unit OF
value" although to attempt 10 make two things
Of unequal value, like 25slO grains of gold and
4l2l2 grains of silver, each equivalent to third
OF dollar violates one Of the fundamental axioms
Of geometry. The object of the author Of the bill
PROFESSIONALLY was to remOnetize silver, and this
he las efectually done in other sections Of his bill
Dut the declaring dollar of either or both metals
u be unit by DO means does 1t. These features
Of the bill were adopted by the House to-day.
BLACK INIQUITY PROPOSED.
The second and fourth features Of the bill must
be treated together. They open the mlnts of the
United States 10 the free coinage of silver bullion
into dollars, each Of which is worth l5l2 cents
more than the metal it contains, and lest the
Spectator in silver shall not be able to get his re-
turns promptly on account of the ncapacity of the
mints TO manufacture the coins, 1T directs the
secretary of the Treasury to give them certificates
ior the silver bullion which shall be receivable at
'her face value for all dues 10 the Government In
ether words the bill directs the Secretary OF the
treasury to pay TO any owner OF silver bullion,
s'iIen or foreigner, one dollar for every 412i2

his audience. Mr. Thurman struggled at great
length to prove that the deputy-marshas

There Is room for a wide difference Oh

Of the Government has passed upon It, there cannot
be found In the assumption of unconstltutlonahty
any reason why Congress should repeal such meas

in an offensive and coercive manner.
Mr.. Thurman's assault upon Johnny Davenport
was neither funny vigorous as that OF sew
era previous speakers, although 1T was carried 10
great length, and was made the crownng feature vi
his speech 1t consisted chiefly In reading from the
printed testimony taken by investigating commit
tees and in comments which were conspicuously I'M
fair. Mr.. Thurman asserted that very large sums
of money drawn from the Government by
Davenport had never been accounted
for and had been retained by him. He essayed 10
bring some proof Of this and read from the testi-
mony to show that in 1871 Davenport had been
borrowing money to pay his personal expenses
while in 1876 he was living in nice house In q
good neighborhood and keeping q carnage
He was about to show something still more
hepous on Davenports part, but couidh
lind the place. He gave detailed statement
of the sums expended for deputy-marshals In sew,

with the same expenses in the South. ana assumed

When he mentioned Jersey City, Senator KAN

Mr. Randolph thereupon told with indignation
how by means of the expenditure of money Tor dep

years given good Democratic majorities was turned
into Republican district

Mr. Thurman then said the cOlloquy had better
come to an end He paid his respects TO the Presi-
dent not In the way of argument, but in sheer de
nunciation characterzing the logic OF the veto 9

his party into sad dilemma, and evidently does
not enjoy the distinction which is accorded him as
