SENATE.

Washington, April IS.
Mr., Withers called for the regular order, and
the Army bill was taken up.
Mr.. Randolph New Jersey addressed the Sen.
ate and said, the question presented in q simple
form, was this: As a condition of granting sup
plies to the army, has Congress a right to demand
a redress of what a majority of its members deem
grievances" He had grave doubts, not as to the
power of Congress, but as to the expediency OF
the use Of that power. He was proud of the army
and its achievements but he would be lost to all
sense of truth and remembrance of history If he
admitted for moment the monstrous and dan.
gerous doctrines that this Government held It's
power, far less its life in period OF peace, thro
the existence of its army, or that the total dis
bandment Of it would bring serious danger to its
life. An army must needs be force apart from
the people. Its composition ond usefulness COM
pei 1t to be so. Mr. Randolph said that in 1876 he
bore q message from Governor Hampton TO the
then President of the United States urging the
latter to withdraw troops from the State House.
You may imagine, sir said Mr. Randolph, my as
tonisbment and Indignation, when, in an angry
tone and uncivil manner, the President replied,
II won't withdraw the troops; | don't regard the
decision Of the Supreme Court Vt the state, and II
| had any message to send to Hampton, Il would
be that his message to me is an impertnenCe."
IAN impertinenCe," sir for the Governor of
State to communicate his wishes, not demand his
rights, ss he might properly have done to the
President of the United States. AN imperti-
nence," indeed. Upon what meat doth this, our
Caesar, feed, that he is grown so great2 No. Mr.
President, we cannot make too much haste to
guard the liberties of freemen everywhere in this
broad land from the chance of blOtting the pages
of our history with repetition of the usurping
act of a President less than three years ago.
Mr.. Groom cited instances where the military
had been used in Maryland He read from an
old number of The Boston Commonwealth, which
he believed was the organ of Charles Sumner to
show that that paper openly excused the use of
the military power to preserve the majority in
Congress of supporters of the Governments poll.
cv. h also quoted from letter from General
Grant to President Johnson, in which the former
expressed his hope that the use of the army wod
never be invoked on the eve of an election, Mr.
GrOOme wondered If this sentiment met the
views OF the party now generally credited with
the intention to trust their falling fortunes to the
prestige Of General Grants name and whether il
was an agreeable commentary upon their present
desire to retain the laws by which alone the ar.
my could be used to influence elections.
After an executive session, the Sepate adjourn,

as unfinished business of the morning hour
Mr.. Warner moved to amend the third section
which makes silver coin legal tender to the
amount Of ten dollars. by adding the words, "for
all debts, public and private"
Mr.. Stephens in brief speech, said the coun.
try to-day presented strange spectacle Of having
three distinct silver coins, no two which are Of
the same value, There was the trade dollar of
42O grains, the standard dollar of 4l215 grains and
the half dollar, two of which contained only 3s5
$40 grains. This was all wrong, and the evil fell
heavily on labor He did not however propose
to discuss that question now, but he wanted the
pending bill passed as the first step in reform.
After that other matters could be taken up.
Mr.. Mills offered substitute for the bill. The
nrst section II the substitute provides for silver
dollar Of 4I24 grains. half dollars of 2O6k grains
quarters Of 1885 grains dimes of AK grains, and
half dimes of 2O$ gralnsi and all Of them shall he
legal tender for any sum whatever. The seventh
section directs the Secretary of the Treasury lin
exchanging legal tender notes for silver) to nav
out one dollar and two dollar notes until he shall
have paid out fifty million dollars.
Mr.. Garfeld's amendment substituting the
word lawful money of the United States, for lie.
gal tender money" was agreed to.
