think with Secretary Sherman, as quoted IN a
recent conversation, that "the silver question:
"if let alone, would settle itself, like other
" troublesome questions
II becomes more pressing every month, TINS
same silver question, both in Great Britain
and in France British merchants and bankers
give much time to the discussion OF methods
for its settlement. The trade with India has
been so disordered by the decline in silver
and those interested in that trade have sus-
tanned such losses, that the question has be-
come one of the first Importance. decision by
the German Government not TO sell any more
silver at present, and some other causes nave
lifted the price of bullion little within the past
few weeks, but there is no general expectation
in England that the relief will prove lastihg
or sufficient. In France, the question taxes d
different shape. The maintenance OF specie
payments, it is now perceived, may depehu
upon a settlement of the question III ihat
country. There has been a steady aecumuia-
ton of silver in the bank reserves, while gold
has been flowing out, as the following COM
parison of the composition of the reserve at
three annual statements will show:
New-York tribune., 1879-06-10
The bank has lost $11o 100000 of it's gold

The bank has lost $110 100000 of its gold
reserve, not because its notes have been dis
trusted as yet, but because the policy OF France
has made the Bank of France the public sink
for the surplus silver of all nations, and that
metal has steadily poured in to the exclusion
of gold. In less degree the United States
Treasury has been in like manner overloaded
with the unavailable metal. 1t cannot force
silver upon creditors in the payment OF com
obligations without seriously impaiIing Its
credit. Nobody takes the metal of his own
accord Everybody pays it into the Treasury
in preference to gold or legal-tenders Ill order
to get rid of 1t. Thus, without any formal
depreciation IN nominal value of the coins,
but simply because they are incOnvenient and
people will not carry nor keep them, the
Treasury is steadily increasing its hoard OF use
less silver.
The proposal to consider the matter maturey
before taking another and more dangerous
step IN the same direction, is wise one. How
ever strongly a man may desire ultimate
restoration of the double standard, 1t is by no
means within the power of any man to say
confidently that the present attitude OF the
United States tends to that end. The ablest
advocates of Di-metalism believe that the chief
obstacle to a revolution in the policy of Great
Britain and Germany is the fact that this
country talks of opening its mints to the
unlimited coinage of silver.
New-York tribune., 1879-06-10
SJJYERJy TgE SENATE.

Senator Coke's resolution to discharge the
Finance Committee Of the Senate from con-
sideration of the Silver bill, III order that the
bill NAV be taken up at once, was postponed
in the Senate until to-day, on motion OF Mr..
Voorhees,. Apparently the advocates OF the 81
cent dollar were not ready for a vote. The
Senate has not yet fallen into the rough meth
DDS of the House, and there Is still maintained
some respect for the Committees OF the Sem
ate. The proposed resolution, as an act OF
discOurtesy to an important committee, may
meet with opposition from some members VINO
would favor the Silver bill itself. Political
reasons may exist, also, for such opposition III
some instances. The Democrats who are not
ouite prepared to abandon all hope OF sue
ceeding in either of the Eastern States, and who
know that the passage of the Warner
hill wonid be fatal to such hopes,
have whispered 10 their party associates from
the West that further action on the measure
Is undesirable. The records OF the House,
they say, can be quoted by Democrats at the
West TO prove that the Democratic party Is
fully committed 10 the unlimited coinage OF
cheap dollars. But, if the business goes no
further ut this session, the fact that Demo-
cratic Senate refused to act on the bill can be
quoted at the East with equal effect Those
Senators who want TO keep favor with both
sections and both sides, i'll this matter, VIII
be willing to see a direct vote prevented. by
the vote of Senator Ferry the committee
passed resolution to defer further consider
alton of the subject until next winter, ana
there are probably other Republicans who

changed their views on State Rights; that
they hold the same belief they did in 1861
and they believe, Notwithstanding all that has
happened, that a majority of the voters are
with them in it. 1t is that question which
we are shortly to vote upon and decide, ana
it is not likely that sentimental appeals VIII
greatly influence the pubM Judgment upon 1t.

The hysterical Democracy were badly
fustered III the House yesterday. They
framed and submitted the new Army
Appropriation bill in the expectation
that the Republicans would oppose it.
When, therefore, Mr.. Ryan, OF Kansas, Re-
publican member, rose yesterday. aud moved
that the rules be suspended and the bill
passed, there was a yeritable panic among
the Democracy. 1t was evident that the Re-
publicans meant to vote for the bill, and if
they voted for it, it would be passed.
WHY tins should have stricken the Dem
ocratic hosts with CONSERVATION only
those who have made a psychological study
of that organization can say. But 1t did /;
there was a huddling together of disconnected
leaders, and a successful motion to adjourn
relieved them from the OveTpOwering danger
that their own bill would succeed. SO tar as
Yesterdays vote can be sad TO have any
direct significance, it is certainly vote Ill favor
of the use of the United States Army "as
"police force to keep the peace at the polls"
When the Democracy come to appreciate that
fact their pitiaby nervous condition is not
likely to be much altered for the better.

Mr. George w. Childs, who is known as one
OF General Grants most intimate friends, has
given some authentic information respecting
the Generals plans, which will be found in
Philadelphia letter on another page. Mr..
Childs is not a stakeholder in the projected
"grand excursion" to welcome General Grant,

Our staff correspondent at Leadvile gives,
in the. letter printed on another page, what
may be called an elementary survey of the

more famous mines, and something of the
geological formations in the silver hills. The
important conclusion is drawn that the Lead

The Government survey of the Everglades
of Florida, in order to determine the validity
of the claim of that State TO the lands, re-
wives the question of the future availability
of these millions of acres of swamp land for
agricultural purposes. A letter, printed on
another page, states that this region can be
drained, and transformed into a vast sugar
plantation. No such change can be hoped for,
however, until the State is invigorated with
a new and more energetic population.
New-York tribune., 1879-06-10

There was a vote of some significance in the
House yesterday upon the passage OF
the Legislative Appropriation bill. The
measure having been freed from all
political restrictions, its passage was
assented to by the Republicans, the
motion being carried without division. Two
Democrats, however, Mr.. Cox, of New-Iork,
and Mr.. Cabcll, of Virginia, then called for a
division, and were gratifed. 1t is curious that
on the yea and nay vote there should
have been 21 votes in opposition to this
bill-21 votes, in other words, against all ap-
preparations. Among these members were
Messrs. Cox of New-York; Finley and Hurd,
of Ohio; Knott, of Kentucky; Whitthorne, OF
Tennessee, and other noted hot-heads and rev.
olutionists. Evidently these men are discon-
tented with the bill because it does not con-
tain political restrictions, and they may
be regarded as infexibly opposed to the con-
tinuance of the Government on any terms.
New-York tribune., 1879-06-10

The name of Robert COlyer has been so long
associated with the city of Chicago that it is
a little difficult to realize that this famous
preacher has been practically naturalized as
New-Yorker. But such is the fact Mr.. Coll
yer has promised to accept a call from the
Church of the Messiah, if it should be given,
and last night the call was formally made and
the salary was Professionally fixed. TO less
able man this termination of the ties and asso-
Citations of twenty years, and the beginning
anew in middle life, might prove a serious
ordeal. But If Mr. COllyer suffers at all by the
change, it will be only because his great repu-
tatiOn may cause greater expectations to be
raised than even a preacher of his eloquence
can satisfy. He is probably, however, one OF
the last men in the American pulpit of whom
such q fear need be entertained. The general
interest attached to this step on Mr. Collyers
part will attract much attention TO bis pleas
ant autobiographical talk reported on another
page, in which be describes, with much famil-
lar detail, his transformation from a Method
ist into a Unitarian, and from a believer in
gradual emancipation into a Garrison Abo-
litionist.

It is ALWAYS pleasant to know just what a
good reputation is worth, and now we have
obtained the exact Louisiana quotation. Mr..
Murray, one of the SpOfford troupe, explained
Yesterday his previous remark that he ex-

ton. II was to be done by coming to Wash

ton by telling the truth
The advocates of a free canal have beeh
heard at length; now comes MI. Thomas
Golden Ruggles, civil engineer, VINO mas
long shown an interest i'll the canals Oh the
State. and declares that the true Key 10 New
Yorks commercial supremacy is in deep as
well as free canal. He submits some inter-
estipk figures to show how the speed of boats
would he accelerated by increasing the depth
of the canal, say three feet giving enough
room under the propeller-wheel to prevent
one-lalf the force from being wasted, as IS
now the case, in churning up the mud from

would be- calculating on partial estimates OF
the State. a little over $3,000.OOO-Or less
than the New-YOrk Central Road spent in the
two years of 1875 and 1876 for depots, en-
gines, ETC.; and Mr.. Ruggles estimates that
the average time of the trip from Buffalo
would be reduced for steamers to four days
and a quarter.
