ton. Itwas manifestly the policy Of the
law TO give persons of limited means an
opportunity to subscribe for these small
certificates, policy in which Secretary
Sherman most heartily coneurs, and the
bankers as well. The circular issued
Yesterday gives notices of sixty days,
which ends June 18th, TO all persons
who desire these refunding certificates
TO apply for them in sums not
to exceed one hundred dollars TO any
perron at one time, and etfors Will be
made to place certificates in the hands
Of post masters and every officer OF the
United States who, under the law can
be trusted with public money. 1t Is
hoped that within sixty days the whole
amount of the refundlng certificates,
about thirty-fiye millions, will be sold.
II not, the offer made by the associated
bankers will then be accepted for what
NAV remain, as the refunding OF the ten
forties is mandatory and il will by that
time be absolutely necessary to provide
means in some way to meet the call for
the remainder Of the l0-+0s- A call Tor
the remainder of the l0-+0's will be
issued in few days.
Exciting Scene in the House.
WASHINGTON, April l9.-Quite an ex-
citing scene took place in the House
this evening. Frye read an editorial
from the OkalOnd States, compliment
tary 10 Blackburn for his anti-war meas
ures speech, and bristling over with
such phrases as Down with the devil
born amendments, Down with the pic
lures OF Lincoln and the scoundrels who
surrounded him. Blackburn made
vigorous reply, and Frye, in ike tone,

CONGRESSIONAL.
WAsHISGroy, April l9.
HOUSE.

The journal this morning embraced tor
the first time, petitions deposited in the
box. The question vas raised by Mr.
Garfield, who expressed the hope IT
would not pass into a precedent Ex-
PLANTATION was made by the Speaker as
10 the reasons why he had directed this
to be done, the principal one being
that under existing circumstances while
petitions or memorials are being present
ed, accompanied by bills, the question
as 10 which committee they should be
referred 10 became important and al
ready differences Of opinion had arisen
senting petitions, as 10 their proper ref
erence. II was, therefore, deemed
proper that the House itself should have
the opportunity OF passing on the ques-
ton. In the course OF discussion it was
suggested by Mr. Frye that 1t might be
found that there would be no objection
whatever 20 the introduction OF bills
next Monday, however absurd they
should be. The matter was finally re-
ferred to the Committee on Rules.
The subsidiary silver coin bill then
came up as unfinished business OF the
morning hour. Mr.. Warner moved to
amend the third section, which makes
silver coin a legal tender 10 the amount
OF ten dollars, by adding the words, 'for
all debts, public and private
After some discussion voting was
begun on the amendments.
Mr.. Garfield's amendment 10 increase
the amount at which coins can be pre-
sented for redemption from $40 to SO,
was rejected.
Mr.. Garfield's amendment 20 substi-
tute the words, lawful money OF the

Mr. Strphens moved % reconsider.
Before the final disposition OF the bill,

Hanlan on the River Tyne.

The progress OF Hanlan and Hawdon
in their training for the match on the
River Tyne May 5th, will hereafter be
read Of with interest The last number
OF Bells Life saws: with the return OF
something like decently fine weather,
Edward Hanlan Of Toronto and John
Hawdon of Delaval have been enabled
To vigorously push on the work OF pre-
paration for their great match over the
Tyne championship course on Monday,
Nav 5th. Both men have TO some ex-
tent suffered from the effects OF the re-
cent return of winters chilling blasts,
but they have now completely
recovered from the colds which
troubled them, and, although
Hanlan's neck is still little stitf from
the results OF boil, yet this inconye-
nience is rapidly passing away. The
Canadian is evidently strong believer
in plenty OF work upon the water, and
two four mile spins, in which he has
been occasionally attended by John
Bright of the Mushroom, has constituted
his rowing exercise per diem. That
Hanlan is a good sculler, most Tyne
and, though he rarely exceeds 3 strokes
to the minute, yet his boat giides along
with fine easy motion, and appears Ia
20 at fast rate. Hawdon, 10 lar, has
done more land work than sculling, but
he has not missed having a good run
at top speed for about two miles and
half or three miles each day,
and, as he does not carry much flesh,
this may possibly he found sufficient
exercise for the present Hanlan has
most comfortable quarters at Ms. Glib
sons, the Ord Arms, Scotswood, and he
is very carefully attended to by Heasley,
his trainer, while Hawdon occupies his
old lodgings at James Percy's private
house, and is being looked after by his
old mentor. A little incident occurred
on the Tyne on Monday afternoon
which has caused some talk in New
castle. Hanlan had gone down for his
usual pull over the entire course, and,
in returning, he was joined by Kemp
ster and Hogarth. The Canadian, strik-
ing 80 to the minute, showed the way
20 the top Of the Meadows, when
he was joined by w. Elliott of
Blyth, who was evidently anxious
10 have feeler at his possible opponent
in the futnre. Hanlan dill not appear
10 know who Elliot was, and for about
a quarter Of mile they rowed together.
The Canadian, however then appeared
10 tumble 10 the little game, and, easing
down considerably, he permitted both
Elliot and kempster 10 60 on before
him. Hanlan does not complain OF this
action on the part OF the champion Of
England, bat il would perhaps be better
il such treatment TO a stranger was not
repeated. Toward the latter end OF the
week Hanlan suffered severely fran
blistered hands, and thus, while the
stiffness Of his neck il disappearing,
he is now subjected TO another
source OF pain and discomfort
