The Silver Dollar.

Every grecnbacker in congress is of the
opinion that he knows more about finance
than anyone else and consequently his first
effort Is directed at the innocent silver dol
lar. In the discussion 10 the house on Mr..
Kolly's bill Mr. Chitteuden took the position
that the bill would injure the very ones
it was calculated to assist, would break
down resumption and force the nation
back to deprecated paper currency,
would drive gold out Of the country, that
it was in the interest of capitalists aud
owners Of bullion; and the position of such
apostles Of finance as Wright, De La Matyr
aud Weaver was sLcre nonsense, especially
was the conclusions of Weaver, whom it
vii, be remembered aired his ignorance Of
finance in this city last fall, rank heresy.
Viewers speech being in effect that the
accumulation Of wealth by temperance
frugaiity and business tact, was tho device
Of ihieves aud robbers.

Rail and River.

Our shippers and travelling public will
be interested in the proceedings of the
convention at Chicago on the 5th inst,
looking to arrangements for bringing into
connection the river aud railroad lines of
the upper Mississippi valley. The Times
OF Chicago states the doings
Representatives of the steamboat lines
operating on the upper Mississippi met
with representatives of the Chicago and
Northwestern, Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul, and Illinois Central yesterday,
in this city, to try and arrange a summer
tariff that would bo satisfactory to all par
ties. The rail and steam boat lines have
hitherto found it to their mutual adyan-
tage to work in union during the season of
navigation, and every spring, until this
year, satisfactory arrangement has been
agreed upon, and in every instance main
tanned until cold weather closed the river
This season, however, the steamboat lines
formed an alliance with a short railroad
running from Peoria to Rock Island, which
is operated by the Chicago, Koch Island
~ Pacific company, and owned IN great
part by Mr.. Gable. BY this arrangement,
'hC ''"lAO CASIaLgiUR DelWeeu the east
and southeast and the upper Mississippi
river country is being diverted from the
Chicago roads in great part. Such a
scheme as this could not be permitted
without a protest. The Chicago roads
accordingly called meeting of the lines
interested. The steamboat lines seem
very eager to renew the old summer ar
rangement, as experience has demonstra-
ted that they cannot live outside active
cooperation with the railroads leading to
Milwaukee and st. Paul. The meeting
adjourned until to-day. in order that the
Peoria q Rock Island road might be rep
resented. The conference will no doub,
result In an agreement for an interchange
OF Tathc,, as heretofore, between the Chi
caso roads and the Mississippi lines.
AT the meeting the next day the repre-
sentative OF the Peoria road defended hi
position so admirably that it was concede,

VIII Hayes Veto the New Bin9

There is only one hypothesis on which a
conclusion can be based that Hayes will
veto the new bill prohibiting the use of
Federal troops at the polls. and that is
that the stalwarts possess the positive
knowledge of his direct connection with
the bargain under which the great fraud
Of 1876, was contaminated and will use it
to coerce him TO veto the bill. The de-
bate has demonstrated the determination
Of the republican managers to retain this
dangerous power, as only by its use can
they hope to retain the executive. Should
he veto the bill he will commit his party
unconditionaly to the odious principle OF
using troops at elections and make it the
leading article Of republican faith. The
bill as il will be submitted to him will
leave him no way out of this commitment.
1t obyiates all his reasons for refusing tC
sign the Army appropriation bill and
only prohibits the use Of the army and
navy at the polls for political reasons, and
in no way interiors with the right of the
civil authorities to use armed
force to execute the laws. Hl'
message on the Army bill hal
taken away every ground upon which e
base objections to the new bill, and conse
quently veto will Internationally com
NIT his party to measure that is distaste
full to every American citizen and will con
clusively demonstrate the correctness o
the hypothesis above stated.

Still Talking.

1t was expected that the republicans in
congress would allow the bill prohibiting
the use of troops at the polls to pass with
out debate aud 60 to the president this
week, The republicans acting on the as
sertion of Mr.. Frye, of Maine, that the
president would sign the bill in its present
shape, let it go through the house. They
did this also as they saw that the senti-
ment of the better element of the party is
opposed to the use Of troops at the polls,
and they would gain nothing by debate.
The judiciary committee of the senate
reported the bill as early as Tuesday, but
for some reason the action on the bill has
been delayed, and up to this time, Friday,
a vote has not been reached. In view OF
Edmunds' speech to day, it is not probable
the bill will reach the president before
Monday or Tuesday of next week. There
seems to be belief in we'll informed re-
publican circles that this delay is to give
Hayes time to frame excuses for vetoing
the bill
Whatever he may do is of but little in-
terest to the people here in the north, as
his veto and the debate has committed the
republican party to the issue Of keeping
troops at the polls, and demonstrated the
fact that if they had the power they would
not permit any interference with this right.
The great struggle Of the session, and one
which will prolong it far into the summer,
and one in which the north is equally in,
terested with the south, will be upon the
supervisors and deputy marshal clauses Of
the legislative bill.

"A female herring lays about 10000

allowed without restriction to multiply
their kind for period of seven years the
