THE SILVER BILL-RUAoRED CHANGE IN THE
gCABINET-IHE M'DoSALD B1LL--BRIEF NEWS
1TEHs-sENAToRs. AT THE RACES. -
49,. from Our Regular Correspondent
I, WASHINGTON, May 21.-I telegraphed you
last night that the silver bill was in effect
killed, because the Marsh amendment CAV
the Government the profit and the Secretary
OF the Treasury control OF the coinage Of
silver, which meant that be would keep it
at the minimum amount fixed by law. It's
leading friends. however, held conference
and determined to-day to vote down the
fourth section as amended, and then insert
a rree-coinage clause elsewhere in the bill.
They thought they were strong enough to
do this, and believed their bill was not yet
MORALLY hurt: To-day, when the vote was
taken on the section as amended, the friends
OF free coinage all voted against il, but to
their great disappointment, the House, by 4
vote of 113 ayes to 100 noes, adopted the
amended section. The Democrats voting
aye" with the Republicans were Messrs.
believer, Covert, Hurd, Morrison, Morse,
Ryan, Springer, and Fernando Wood.
General Joseph E. Johnston and all Of the
Virginia members present voted NO"
The flibuStcring on the silver bill con-
tinued until adjournment, and the feeling
tonight is that General Warner will have
to consent to debate on the committees
amendments to the 9Th section.
A RUMORED CHANGE IN THE CABINET.
The stalwarts, as long rs Mr.. Hayes adj
hered to "my southern policy cared little
about the constitution OF bis Cabinet, but
they now want stalwarts of their own Sc
lection to represent them in it. This fact
gives interest TO the runor that was widely
circulated day, and generally to the effect
that Mr.. McCrary will give up the Secreta-
ryship OF War and accept the Federal judy
ship for the district composed OF Iowa and
Missouri. Judge j. W. Dillon, who is to
make way for him, it is reported, will be
appointed to law proiessorship in Column
bia University, OF this city. Mr.. McCrary
left this evening with Secretary Carl Schurz
for Hampton to attend the Normal School
commencement and ascertain what General
Armstrong can do with coIored youths and
Juvenile Indians.
The news from the White House late to-
night is that Mr.. Hayes has reluctantly con-
sented to Secretary McCrary's retirement
in September, but has now no idea OF Sc
Letting n southern man as his successor, as
heretofore reported. He will confer with
General Sherman, among others, When the
time comes to ill the vacancy.
SENATOR N'DONALD's BILL TO Be INTRODUCED
TOMORROW.
Senator Mcdonald Will tomorrow intro
duce his bill to suppress domestic violence,
&C., the outlines OF which sent you last
night. The Republicans say it was endorsed
by n Democratic caucus and owes its patcr-
nifty to Senator Thurman. The truth, how
ever. is that Mr.. Mcdonald lis its author, and
will introduce it on his own responsibility,
after consultation with leading, friends.
UNITED STATES SENATORS AT THE RACES TO-
DAY.
Royalty goes to the Derby, and why may
not United States senators 90 to the Balti-
more races, as they did to-day? Agrowling
House employee who could not go himself
said Joe Blackburn has gone, and he will
get Bayard and the rest OF them to bet
on the Kentucky horse, and they will lose
their money. / went over to the Senate
after this outburst and found Captain BaS-
sctt and the pages occupying the chamber.
The little fellows were in high spirits, and
l thought they, too, were racc-struck, Dull
soon discovered that they were only happy
because the National Baseball Club had
beaten the Albany Club badly, and were
now prepared to beat any other club in the
land.
NO PROGRESS MADE TO-DAY WITH TOwNSlGEND' :
BILL.
The Republicans to-day commenced fill
clustering by refusing to vote on tic bill to
|
State to Federal courts as soon as it was
taken up, and by ro!l-calls and refusal to
vote, thereby preventing quorum, they
exhausted the morning hour. No progress
whatever was therefore made in advancing
the bill. They will doubtless pursue the
same tactics tomorrow, because they have
determined that no obnoxious law shall be
repealed and no relief given the solid
South. II the Democrats were guilty OF
such conduct it would be revolution in the
eyes OF GaI field, Conger Il Co.
