WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Senator Bayards'
resolution for the abrogation of the legal ten
der quality OF greenbacks is quietly but very
certainly gaining among his Democratic
colleagues, and it now begins to look as if it
may pass the Senate.
The Southern Democrats of the Senate
very generally manifest a very strong ~inclina-
ton to wheel into line with it. A sagacious
political Senator, in article published here TO-
day represents Southern Democrats as saying
among themselves: "We have nothingto hope
from the West, either politically or finan-
cially. The Fall, election demonstrated that

section to help build up and develop the South.
All the capital is in the East, and we propose
to support the financial views of the section
hat owns the capital. If the Republicans ad-
here to their foreshadoWed purpose of oppos-
ing all kinds of financial legislation during
the present session, their votes, in connection
with those Of Western Democrats will be
more than sufficient to defeat or postpone any
action upon Bayard's proposition, even if it
should obtain united Democratic support of
the South and East"
Present indications concerning the Spofford-
kellogg contest, are that the Democratic
majority of the Senate committee OH privileges
and elections will report in favor of declaring
the seat vacant, OH the ground that neither
kellogg nor Spofford was elected by a lawful
Legislature.

to-day, and while the clerks were temporarily
absent, thieves broke open one of the inner
doors of one of the safes and secured from $500

New YORK, Dec. 11.-An officer of the
army writing from the Ute country in a let
ter received to-day says the Southern Utes
have been quiet from the first and remain SO.
The officers stationed among them have OBJ
served no signs of trouble, and all they have
seen or heard of war has been in the news
papers. He says that winter has set in
throughout the Ute region and that even in
the event of trouble it would be absolutely
impossible for troops to push through the
mountains. He says the Indian question in
Colorado is rapidly reaching solution through
the focking in of miners. They are crowd
ing along the borders of the Indian reserva-
ion and in many cases passing well within
these lines, and each succeeding company are
passing on ahead of the previous trespassers,
The Indian region is found to be very
rich in minerals, and this will surely lead at
an early day to the wrestling of it from the
Indians.
