An Congress. would respond promptly to the chal-

NR. HAYAKD's RESOLUTION.
There vas a report this evening that the caucus Of
acrocrstic senators held this afternoon had con-
siderud the Dayard resolution and had agreed to
support n. Eat this report is false. The financial
issass were not mentioned in the caucus. Mr.. Bay
ard ~i almost certainly get the consent of his
salttss 10 report his resolution to the Senae but
there is some business which has precedence of it,
and 10 10 not probable that it will be reported
before the aolidays.
PRESIDENT HAYES MISREPRESENTATION.
General Hswicy and Mr. Ellis II. Roberts con-
verssd with the President to-day at some length
the hnanc, issues and the reports they give of the
Presidents talk show that there has been persist
snt and malignant attempt by republican imitation
rats To place him In tho wrong before the public for
th~ir own purposes. is rot true that the
President In hts latter conversation with Mr..
Fort. OF Illinois. in any way modified the tone
or sense Of his Message expressed himself in any
way in the slightest degree having changed his
opinion ON the currency question. He would re-
new his recommendations to morrow. IL there were
occasion. concerning the repeal Of the legal tender
act and the withdrawal OF the greenbacks. he told
these gentiemsn. and no far from approving nom
action by Congress he desires very strongly to
IL tako up and adopt his recommendations. He reit-
ersted all that he had said In his letter of
last Thurdav. and while he. OF course.
that he cannot control the action OF Congress. he
not only wishes It to accept his recommendations.
hai,~
that Il should do so. All reports to the contrary
are false. and inexcusably and purposcly misrep-
resent him. and simply prts. ~ It now
seems. Of very unscrupulous game OF bluff.
which republican soft-money mon playing to
influence their party and persuade it to oppose
the Presidents recommendations for the
peal of legal tender and tho Withdrawal of
the greenbscks. Mr.. Fort himself tho suthor of
tho false report telegraphed from here last night
discreditng the Presidents sincerity. It Is the
ond time that he has thus msrepresented tho Presi
dent giving the press false and garbled accounts of
conversations held with him. Mr.. Fort has now
gone West to bury Congressman Lay. There
seems to be nobody else here to take bis
place and spread false rumors concerning the sent
ments OF the President aud Secretary Sherman. SO
that until he returns It is probable that these at
tempts to deceive the public will good deal
of indignation Is Expressed here this evening by
sound money republicans st Forts sttempts to
mislead public sentiment and compromise the Pres-
dent. General Hswley. OF Connecticut. said tonight
that "if the constitutional money men get chance
they will show In both houses that the republican
party has not lost the courage with which tho ma
jority of its members have usually dealt with this
subject"
PRACTICAL RELIEP FOR IRKLAND-How CON-
GREssMEN REGARD THE PARNELL AGITATION.
Congressman. Kenns. Of West Virginia. to-day gave
expression to very general feeling Of pity for the
suffering people In some parts Of Ireland. and Of
contempt for the agitstors who have by their revolu
tionary violence alarmed capital and deprived
many poor lsborers Of employment. by starting
subscription paper in the House to raise fund for
the relief Of suffering among the laboring
poor in Ireland. The subscription paper recites -
1--WE do this in political spirit. but solely
to aid people who in actual distress
in their country. and whose energy. undaunted
pluck and brain have contributed much to tho
advancement and history Of our own" The amount
which each member Is asked to contribute is S. and
up the close Of the session to-day seventy men,
bors both sides Of the House had signed their
names to tho MIST. Including the Speaker and the
leading democratic and republican members. There
ia no doubt that every member of the House will
subscribe S. and in that case the fund will amount
to nearly $1,000. No one hero sympathizes with the
Parnell agitation. which is regarded mere wild.
inexcusable revolutionary attempts but the accounts
which the HERALD cable dispatches have given Of
suffering among the Irish poor. greatly increased by
the foolish and wicked attempt of the Parnel dema-
gogues have aroused pity for the Irisn poor which
manifests itself in the way which the HERALD has
advised-in q subscription to supply them with
food. Mr.. Kenns's subscription. in fact. means.
Not cent for Parnel. but hundreds to give food
to the honest poor"
