ion was got rid of and the eection was |
opened to amendment. The1eupon Ewing |
moved to amend his amendment of yester. |
day by striking out the words " standard |
silver dollars" and inserting the words |
y, coin OF the same metal = 30 Is to provide
that certificates for gold or silver bullion |
she'll be issued at its average market value
in standard coin OF the same metal. On
motion OF Daggett and Magginnis, the words
&c Carson City, Nevada and government
assay officers" were inserted in the eighth
section and then that section was adopted
as whole-yeas 80, nays 72-without the
yeas and nays. The eighth section as it
now stands reads as follows:

required to receive deposits of gold and silver coin
and gold silver bullion with the treasurer any
assistant treasurer of the United States or to
ceive bullion deposits with the superintendent of
ntendent of the bral Oh mint at Carson City, and of

metal In New York and San Francisco for the
week next preceding such deposit; and provide
further that gold aud silver bullion which shall be-
come the property Of the government by return of
certificates to treasury In payment of dues there
money.
Warner then moved to amend the ninth
section, which provides that only coins of
smaller denominations than one dollar shall
be fabricated on government account. The
amendment is to make the section read as
follows:
From and after the passage of this act, except
as provided in section eight, only coins of less de-
nomination than 81 shall he fabricated on govern
ment account, but the secretary shall cause to be
coined up to the full capacity of the minis in
. % ana a." in
bullion into bars coin for deposiors precedence
shall be given in the order in which deposits are
| made. But this provision shall not prohibit thu
delivery of coin or stamped bars in exchange fol
bullion its value is ascertaned, provided
that in determining the average market value o.
bullion for the purpose OF ascertaiping the charge
for converting the same into coin as provided by
section 1924 of the revised statutes, amended by
the fourth section of this act, said market rate
shall be the value of the bullion rated in coin of
the same metal at its legal tender value in the
| cities of New York aud San Francisco for the week
preceding such deposit.
| Cannon therefore submitted his amend
ment as follows:
Provided that in the event that silver bullion
IL not deposited under the provisions OF this act
available for coinage to the extent of $1,000 900
month, then the secretary of the treasury shall
continue to purchase under the provisions of thu
law Of February %, 1873, sufficient bullion to coir
s., 000, 900 per month.

adopted-yeas 81, nays 88. Gillett ofere'
the following as an additional section
"All gold and silver certificates provide,
by this act shall be full legal tender 70
all debts, public and private, except other
yeas 49,: nays 1876. Mills offered the follow
ing as an additional section: "Nothin
contained in this act shall be construed t
authorize the coinage of silver except int
standard silver dollars" Agreed to withou
discussion. Opposition to the previou
question was made on the Republican side
it being understood that other amendment
to be offered would be cut off by tn
previous question. Fillibustering was in
augurated by the Republicans to obstruc
progress, causing an all-night session will
out accomplishing anything.
