v,su1yGrox. May 1s.-The fortunes of the
Warner Silver bin are to be,decided IN the House
ot representatives on Tuesday or Wednesday; and
e nresent indications are that if all those members
90 who are opposed to it their places
rbon the vote is taken it Will almost certainly be
defeated.
Very little progress was made with the bill yes
terdav although portion OF the debate was of an
exceedingly interesting character. General Gar
fields speech was clear and pointed, as all his
snoeches on financial topics are, and must be etfec-
five. since there are some men in the House who are
still in doubt
The most striking event of the day was the vote
of the Speaker in favor of the Ewing amendment
10 the Springer amendment. Mr. Springer proposed
that the certificates issued for the deposit of silver
bullion should only represent the market price OF
tbe metal at the time of its deposit. General
Ewing moved to amend this by ordering that
GO per cent of the bullion deposited, instead OF
beinr held for the redemption of the certificates,
shall be used to pay off the public debt The deleat
of this amendment and the adoption of Mr. Spring
ers would have been considered by the silver lnia-
tionists as equivalent to the defeat OF
the bill because if the most Objectionable
feature Of the measure should be eliminated, the
nresent advocates of T. would themselves vote
against it, When the roll called the vote stood
1O5 in the affirmative to 1O3 in the neGauye. lhen
MrMcI. .qne voted IN the negative. and MrMorTls0n,
who had not voted saw a chance to stab the
Speaker, and, with an insulting remark the point
of winch was that he would make
the Speaker show , his eoIors, ne also IS
voted in the negative. Mr.. Randall promptly de-
clared the amendment adopted amidstloud applause
from the silver ntatiOnsts
This is the second time within the last TWO OF
three weeks that Speaker Randall has come to the
rescue of the silver nhatOnists. He is fast making
record that Will not commend him TO the Democ-

AN EXPLANATION.
To the Editor of the Democrat:

To the Editor Of the Democrat:
My attention was called to an article pub
lished In your paper Of this morning, the fifth
instant, on Senator Landry, who requested me
to furnish your paper an explanation / feel
confident that 1t will afford you pleasure to
clear away all mysteries and render justice
to whom due. | only am the culpable party
therefore l feel it my duty to exonorate the
Senator who gave me his certificate, telling
me at the seIne time TO look up the law and
fill 1t out for him. After careful perusal of
the section relative to per diem of members
of the General Assembly, arrived at the re-
suit as seen in the certificate. The law does
not state the precise number of days before
and after the session that members could
claim, but contents itself with prescribing
members within q certain time | was under
the impression that members could exhaust
all the time mentioned in the proviso, which
reads: Provided the member does not con-
sumo more than five days each way" My
construction was that he could assume the
period mentioned without violating the letter
of the law.
will further say, that after this certificate
was signed by the Senator, it was handed to
the chairman, 'Ir. Mitchell, who said that 1t
was right.
Hoping that you will give the Senator the
benefit of the foregoing,
| am respectfully ETC., F. G. PERKINS.
