THE PASSAGE OF THE BILL.
The House then passed-at 1880 p m.-to the con-
sideration of the Silver bill. Mr.. Warner withdrew
the demand for the previous question, and allowed
vote to be taken Mr.. Ryan's substitute, which
was rejected-yeas, 90; nays, 1877. The vote was
then taken on the passage of the bill, and 1t was
passed-yeas, ia; nays, 97. The result was
greeted with handclapping on the Democratic side'
Only eight Democrats voted against the bill on its
final passage. These were MessTs. Bliss, Covert,
Muller and Fernando Wood, of New-York; Hurd,
of Ohio; Morrison of Illinois; Deuster, of Wiscon-
sin and Poehler, of Minnesota. Four Democrats
who were counted against the bill were absent and
not paired These were Clark, of New-Jersey;
Gibson. of Louisiana; Martin, of Delaware; ana
O'Relllv. of New-YOrk. Five Democrats who had
been counted against the bill voted for IT, beng
Beltzhoover, of Pennsylvania; Ross, of New-Jer-
sew; and Kimmel, McI.ane and Talbot, of Mary
land.
Six Republicans-Belford, Cannon, Daggett, Fort.
Marsh, and Martin of North CarOlina-voted for the
bill One observation-disclosures, of Texas-voted
against the bill to the surprise of many. 1t appears
however that Mr.. Jones is the only slmon-pure
Greenbacker belonging to his party in the House.
He believes in paper money alone. and therefore
could not vote for silver bill.
The reasons why three Illinois Representatives
voted for the bill perhaps as well given by MI
Cannon as by anyone. He thinks that If the bill
should become law the coinage of silver would be
neither increased nor diminished; that holders OF
bullion would not deposit il with the Govefnment
In order 10 get certificates lat its market vaiuel
which could be used only TO pay duties ana taxes
and that "practcally, the BILL amended, would
amount to nothing either for good or evil, being a
mere aggregation of words intended to impress the
country with the belief that tho Democracy are
accomplishing something in legislation"
Representative BeltZhoOyer, of Pennsylvama,
who had opposed the bill all along and who then
voted for il, gave reason that the pressure OF
party influence too strong for him to resist ana
that the Democratic party, controlled, as 1T IS, by
Southern and Western men, must stand or fall on
financial measures for the relief of the people Rep-
resentative Atkins had not discovered up TO this
evening that the free coinage features OF the bill
had been eliminated by the amendments adopted.
He thinks the measure is certain TO pass the senate
and that the few hard-mOnev Democrats in thaIbody
Will not offer any very strenuous opposition TO 1t.
General Warner Is much elated with What ne
considers victory. He had prepared reply 70 the
charge that his bill was in the interest OF bullion
ists which he did not get opportunity to deliver
He saws that the bill ii finally passed the House
will result. by slower process than that OF free
conage) in the equalization of bulhon and coin, but
in the transition there will be profit in the nature
of seigniorage TO the Government"
