AuTTLE WEAK on HISTORY.

WESTERN STATESMEN WHO ARE Evidently OF THE
OPINION THAT TIE STANDARD SILVER DOLLAR
OF 1873 HAS BEEN IN Use FROM THE MOST
ANCIENT TIMES.
by TELEGRAPH TO TEE TRIEUNEI
WAsHNGTON. Jan. 2O.-Ihe Legislature OF
Illinois has Just adopted resolution declaring that
"The silver dollar. coming to as from Colonial
times. and as it existed under the Republic
for nearly hundred years. should be re-
stored as unit Of value, with unlimited
coinage with the ISSUE Iof bulion certificates and
other prr, ilcgc> accorded 10 gold. This resolution
was adopted BY a vote Of 40 in Tie affirmative TO
in the negative The Secretary OF State OF Illinois
was also instructed to send atostcd copies OF the
resolution to each of the Senators and Representa-
tives Of the State in Congress, with request that
they present them TO their respective Houses as the
choice of the people of Illinois.
This resolution assumes that the standard silver
dollar of to-day contains the sane amount of pure
silver as did the dollar OF Colonial times, and the
same the legal silver doarof the United Saeshas
contained from those times to he present but such
j, not the fact. The dollar Of the British Colonies
IN North America, pieces Of eight" as they were
then called before the Revolution contained
3s67llOO grains 2559loJo grammes Of pure silver
as fixed by = proclamation OF Queen Anne in l70i.
The dollar Of the Congress of the Confederation of
the United states, aS hXed by the ordinance
October 10, 1856, and established as the
unit Of account bat never coined contained
7JGiI0o grains OF 2l33N coo grammes Of pure Sill
Yer. The dollr adopted under the Constitution,
Aprl 2, 1892, aud which Is now the standard sll-
Yer dollar, contains 3714 grains or 2i'GlO0O
grammcs Of pure silver.
If the Legislature Of Illinois desires to recStablish
the Colonial dollar, il ought to say and de> >gnate
its weight. The only silver dollar coming to MS
from Colonial tInles,' to use the language of the
resolution, is that whose weight was fixed byprocla-
nation of Qneen Anne, and the pure silver
of which weighed as per cent more than the
pure silver of the present standard dollar.
That even wOnld not now be worth 100 cents,
but il would be more nearly an honest dol
lar than the one TcnOnctlzcd year
ago. Supposug our present silver dollar 10 be
worth 100 cents, that Of the Confederation would
be worth 1Olls2lOOO cents and that OF the Colonies
IO4l0}IOOO cents.
The loose wording of the Illinois resolution shows
about how nnch progress the average currency
tlukcTS IN the Western Legislatures have made III
thclhnauca studies. Ii IS probable that there was
not member of the Illinois Legislature who voted
Tor the resolution who did not suppose that the
Colonial silver dollar and the standard silver dollar
Of to-day were identical III value

WAsuINGTON, Jan. 20.-ln tie recent letter OF
General Humphreys to the Senate, on surveys IN
the Territories an abstract Of which appeared IN
The lLIBUSE on Wednesday last the General
criticises the formation and denies the con-
uctcncy of the committee of the National
academy of Sciences which framed the Academy
report on the subject. Each ncmbcr of the com
mittce is mentioned by name, ard the conclusion
reached is that only one of them has had any such
experience in surveys would enable him to form
an authoritative opinion on the subject.
The attack Is So personal and direct that it has
been considered in some quarters that reply
should be made on behalf of the Academy but SO
far as the views Of members Of the academy have
brcn EXPRESSED, they arc adverse 10 any action
whatever unless called upon by Congress
The Ground taken bY them is THIS :
We have no occasion to take part IN contest with
the Engineer Corps or any other department oi the
Government To do 50 would subject us Ia the lI-
putation of having n personal or partisan IN
tercst in the matter. Congress referred 10 us
certain question respecting the Territorial surveys.
We gave if a most thorough and conscientious cX-
animation looking not merely at the present bnt at
the distant future Only one solution of the diff
cultv could be devised which appeared practical
and permanent, and TO that solution the agree
mcnt was unanimous. THIS solution was
submitted 10 Congress, and there our Guy as an adj
wiser Of Congress ends until further explanation or
light is wanted which, OF course, we shall be very
clad 10 give hut il would be going entirely outside
our sphere as advisers to take part unaskcd IN par
tisan contest"
Some misapprchcnsion seems to exist respecting
so much of the report pertains to the survey 0l
the public lands. The impression has been in
du>tfouSly disseminated that the complete break
ing up of the present land system is pro-
poScd. while in fact the report only proposes
that the surveys shall be executed by different
