The Senate took up the bill
making subsidiary coins exchanged

United States, and to make such
coins legal tender in sums up to
$50. The committees amendment
to substitute SO for $40 was dis
cussed. The bill was supported by
Messrs. Bayard, Booth, Terry and
Herman, and opposed by Messrs.
Edmunds and Sherman.
The morning hour having ex-
pired, the bill went over without
action, and the Senate took up the
Contagious Disease bill.
After remarks from several Sena-
tors, it was reported back to the
Senate, and the amendments made
in Committee of the Whole were
agreed to. 1t was then read the
third time and passed.
The Senate then took up the bill
relative to the transportation of
animals, but, without action, went
into Executive session and after
wards adjourned until Monday.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Atkins, of Tennessee, from
the Committee on Appropriations,
reported back Senate amendments
to the Legislative Appropriation
bill, and stated that he was in
structed to move concurrence in all
of them. 1t was hardly necessary,
he said, to give a reason for that in
struction. There were some of the
amendments in which the Commit
tee would not, under other circum-
stances, concur, for instance, an in
crease of salaries of Senate officials
from 20 to 100 per cent. more
than the salaries of some of the cor
responding employees of the House.
This increase amounted to over
$4,000. He stated, in reply to
Mr.. Conger, that the Senate had
made no amendments In the pOlltl-
cal features of the bill. The amend
ments were concurred in.
The Speaker is now calling COM
mittees for reports of private ma
ture.
The Silver bill was resumed, and
up to q late hour is still under con-
sideration, and animated filibuster-
ing practices are in operation by
the Republicans.

VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND, May 22.-What are
known as the gold cases were taken
up for trial here to-day in the
United States Circuit Court, before
Judge R. w. Hughes. These cases
embrace about a dozen suits on the
part of the United States Govern
ment against ex-State officials who
were in authority at the time of the
evacuation of Richmond, for
amounts ranging from one to five
thousand dollars, and aggregating
about twenty thousand dollars. It
is claimed that the insurgent Gov
ernment of Virginia had in the
treasury on the Ind of April, 1865,
quantity of gold and silver, with
which the officers of that Govern>
ment paid themselves and their
soldiers in advance, Gov VIM. Smith
taking five thousand dollars, most
of it in advance. By the public
law the conqueror is entitled to the
property OF the conquered, and to
the rights of action of the conquer
ed power, due fromi is debts. Mr..
U. S. Gaut brings suit, as the
conquering power against these
officers, but does not claim ANYTHING
that belongs to the State of Vir-
ginia as aState. The United States
Government only claims what be-
longed to the insurgent Govern
ment of Virginia, at the time it was
overthrown by its arms in April,
1865.
This specie belonged to the in
surgent Government of Virginia,
and as such, the officers of the gov
ernment took this money, and the
United State Government sues them
IS debtors of the insurgent Gov
ernment overthrow by the Union
army. The case against ex-Gover-
nor VIM. Smith was first put upon
rial. The Government put in all
.he proof deemed necessary to esS
.ablish its allegations. The ex-

Our readers are awsre that the
ROaue Iron Company has recently
commenced mining iron orc in Blouut
county in the vicinity Of Maryvile.
In company with Hon. w. E. Kim
drick, who has had considerable ex-
perienee in iron mining, We visited
Maryville last week, and witnessed
the mining on the farm Of Mr.. Joseph
Matthews. Tie ore is brown hema-
tite, of superior quality, said to be
remarkably free from phosphorus, and
therefore valuable for manufacturing
steel. Already several tons of the ore
have been shipped. II is all right as
to quality, and, if the quantity is
found sufficient, it will come into ex-
teusive use.
On this subject the Blount county
Democrat of Thursday, says:
We have been informed that the ex-
pectatiOns Of the ROaue Iron Com
pany have been fully met, In making
an excellent quality of steel frOm the
one hundred tons of iron ore shipped
two weeks ago from the Wilson ore
