WAsn1NaroN, D. c., Mar 21.-Ihe Silver men
were disappointed again io the House to-day.
There has seldom been 10 close contest. Tic
supporters Of The b!lt 1t different times seemed
to haye victory within, their grasp, when by
somo parliamentary movement they we're de-
foascd by two or thfee yotcs. That was the
result Of the vote to-daEp all vital points, and
tho indications at the adjournment were that
the bill would either ultimately be defeated or
recommirtcd to tho Committee. Mr.. Warner,
tho author and managcF of. the bill, who ut lltat
claimed that there would bo lIttls difficulty in
paAsing it iu two days. r..

ne'is very much III tie same position a. Gen.
ro.n Ewing, who n1adnhls cutry into Congress
with the pledge. whlcillhe subsequently mado q
boast upon the floor Oh the uousc, that the Re-
sumption act would DO repealed III ten days
from the beginning Of the last Congress. Tliat
net has not yet been repealed, and resumption
Ia accomplished, the Treasury having rcctIvcd
demands for only s4,000, ,0o0 of eo1d to redeem

When the House. renewed the batt1e over tho

Of tho fourth section mado provision Tor the dc.

amendment provided that "The chasgcs for

which would provide that tiie charHe for the
coinage Of both gold mud silver should 10 tho

substitute was to seek 10 restore the relation
between rold and silver, which tho Marsh
amendment had destroyed. But The parlla-
mcntary difficulties iu the way Of submitting
this new section could not be overcome. Tic

following report, which, on motion, was

10 the Board Of Supervisors of La Saile
County. \ our committee appointed at
the September session of this Board to
receive propositions for site for new
courthouse and Jail, having advertised
for propositions, met at Ottawa on the
18th day of November last for the purpose
of receiving any such propositions as
might be presented Present. Martin
Flaherty, chairman, Samuel Wiley, John
Miller, Nelson Cooper, Ransom Palmer.
Allen Stevens and Samuel Grove. Upon
a close examination of all the PROPOSE
tons presented 1t was found that five
sites had been presented, ranging in price
from fourteen To twenty-five thousand
dollars. Your committee. after thor
Ough examination of all TIE advantages
claimed for the different sites. came to
the unanimous conclusion that the peo-
pie OF Ottawa do not want new court
house very much, if the prices placed up
on their property Is any indication of
their feelings on this subject, and that
little addition, the best and most econom-
ical site for the purposes mentioned, pro-
yided there is no better proposition made.
Your committee would therefore recon-
mend that when the people of La Sale
county wish to build Il new courthouse
and Jail that it be built upon property
now owned Icy the county.
