MR. FLOOD SELLS TWO MINEs-FURTHER CHANGES
EXPECTED.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 2.-FOr some time past
rumors have been current that the Bonanza firm
was preparing to reduce its interests in the mines OF
the Comstock Lode Yesterday Mr.. Flood. on be-
half of the firm. disposed of the control of the Vel
low Jacket and Halo and Norcross Mines the
former going to Robert n Graves and the latter to
Alvinza Hayward
The consideration named in the transfer has not
been made public. There are rumors that the firm
will at an early day still further dispose of its in-
terests, but nothing definite can be learned as to
that.
Both of tho mines transferred were mentioned by
Coll Dean as containing bonanzas. The trans
action caused much comment, and various theories
arc put anoat to account for the action OF the Bo-
nanza firm (; but the most general belief seems to
be that they are tired OF controlling such great and
nnproductive property. and are perhaps SATISFIED
with the result of their mining operations. To-day
ali tho old directors of Hale and Norcross except
two resigned. and were replaced by men represent
ing the new owners. Some action Will be taken III

only slim attendance at that time. He, there

THE DEMOCRATS VERY MEEK.

THEIR REMARKABLE CHANGE OF MANNER ONE OF
THE STRIKING PHENOMENA or THE HOUR.
lBr TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE.]
WASHINGTON, Dec "A more striking contrast
cannot be imagined than that exhibited by the tenn
per of Democratic Congressman at the beginning of
the extra session last Spring and that manifested by
the same gentlemen now.
The evidence accumulates to show that revou-
ton of political opinion has taken place In the
party during the Summer. Ii was said at the extra
session ON the floor of the Senate. by Senator OF
the majority party. that the Democrats were will
ing and anxious to assume all responsibility for
legislation while the minority was distinctly told
in effect tina. law-making was henceiorth TO be no
part of its business. The Democrats rushed into
caucus night after night, adjournng the regular
session of the two houses if those sessions were
of minor Importance in order to give an opportunity
for more extended deliberation in the secret con-
claves of their own party. A caucus committee
was appointed and elaborate machinery for the
perfection of all important legislation in caucus
was established and maintained in operation during
the extra session, although unmistakabN signs OF
public disapproval were plainly manifested before
the end Of the session. .
AZ the extra session were formed the issues which
have formed the political stock IN trade oil Dotn
parties during the Summer. The issues have peen
submitted TO the people and have worked out their
fuli results. The representatives Of the two parties
return under very much the same conditions which
confronted them before. One who judged alone oy
the conduct of the party during the extra session
would have predicted that their first acton
would be to give attention TO political affairs, ana
more than ever King Caucus would rule the course
OF events Yet no Joint caucus has boon limited at.
No caucus of House Democrats has yet been held or
called ialthough IT is intimatcd that one may be
called for next Friday OF Saturday; and at the
caucus OF Democratic Senators this morning nearly
one-half the members of the caucns were absent.
When taken in connection with the tone OF OF con
versation among DEMOCRATIC Congressman. TINS IN
difference Is a remarkable development IN itseli.
Tie caucus was a tame affair.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-The Presidents Message
and accompanying documents will be distributed
Tomorrow TO the various committees. Mr.. Wood
chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, who
is intrusted with the preparation of the resolution
of distribution. found to be quite willing TO ex
press his views to-day the more important recon-
mendations of the Administration.
"As to the retirement of the greenbacks SAID
Mr.. Wood, II can frankly say that If it were upon

during the But now that they have been issued
they part of our currency, and upon the ques-
ton of retiring them shall vote no., unless, OF
course decision of the Supreme Court in the mean

says the increase in volume of the currency by viz
tue of the importation of European gold has not
operated as an imitation. Although a volume OF
$3.50. 600 900 would have been too much in 1870,
it is not enough in 1879 the business interests OF
the country have grown immensely in the mean
time. He would therefore leave the greenbacks
alone They are valuable, aud simply to agitate for
their retirement will have q disturbing effect on

AS to the other suggestion of the Secretary, ces-
sation of the coinage OF the silver dollars, Mr. Wood
says he can hardly help laughing every time he
thinks of the silver dollar law. In his 0plnion,i
