oARFIELp SAYS soMErnINo.

Mr.. Garfield said that the law in refer.
ence to gold certificates had been passed
at time when the Government was
anxious toget by every means 1t could all
the gold possible into the Treasury. II
had invited the people who had gold bul.
lion to come into the Treasury and deposit
it in order 10 strengthen the Government,
II the 90 per cent arrangement had been
made in consequence OF the necessities OF
the Government at the time when there
had been very small outstanding volume
Of paper money, now when there was q
vast volume Of that money when financial
affairs of.the country were adjusted on
basis OF maintaining that volume at par it
was proposed to re.enact that old clause OF
1858, injecting into It silver bullion and
coin.
What were the certificates to be issued
for? The bill did not say they should be
called gold certificates or silver certificates,
or even coin certificates. 1t was absolute.
ly and hopelessly indefinite and uncer-
tain. 1t did not say whether a man de-.
posting bullion could get certificates at
4l2! grains TO the dollar, and he hoped
that his colleague (Warnerl would not de-
mand the previous question until he had
taken three or four days to explain his
financial views. The amendment Of tho
gentleman from Missouri lBuckner) made
the section less utterly and absolutely bad,
but the only safe thing to be done with
the section was to strike it out entirely. 1t
was not even necessary to the general
scope Of the bill, except that the bill was
now so absurd that twas male more per.
feet ss specimen Of absurdity BY leaving
It inIthan by striking 1t out.
Mr.. Warner SAID the law now provided
that coin and bullion deposited for or rep,
resenting certificates, the deposit should
he retained in the Treasury for the nav.
ment OF same on demand. Any man who
had any sense knew that meant that bull.
lion was represented by a certificate, and
no man could claim gold for certificate
for which he had deposited silver. His
colleague, Garfield, had better look at the
law before he went of in a rage about the
insanity Of the eighth section. No man
was more responsible for the vicious leSis.
lation OF which that law was Q part than
his colleague, and be ought to be the las

The previous question was then sec
onded on the motion pending the amend
ments thereto. Mr.. Ewing offered al
amendment to Mr.. Buckner's amendmen
providing that certificates OF deposit shal
be issued at the average market value o
bullion IN standard silver dollars in Ney

Mr.. Goode introduced bill authorizing
the Secretary OF the Navy to place vessels
and hulks at the disposal OF the Commits
sioners OF Quarantine or other persons at
ports OF the United States; referred. The
House then resumed, Us business OF the
morning hour, the consideration OF the
bill TO repeal and amend laws relating TO
the transfer OF cases from State to Federal
Courts.
THE REPUBLICANS FILIBUsrRR.
The Republicans refused TO vote on the
demand for the previous question, thereby
blocking business. Various propositions
were suggested on both sides, but were
not aCceded to-. Mr.. Frye wanted the bill
referred to the Judiciary Committee, and
Mr.. Harris wanted the Republicans, In
case that motion was voted down, towith.
draw all dilatory motions and filibnster-
ing. Mr.. Conger took exception to the
use OF offensive epithets, and objected to
any further statement by Mr.. Harris. Mr.,
Garfield declared that all that was wanted
for the Republican side was to have fair
chance for debate, but that was cut Oft by
demand for the previous question. He
thought It better to have the time used In
debate than wasted in such attempts.
Fernando Wood suggested that there
were other committees that desired ia
make reports in the morning hour, and
that they were prevented from doing so by
this bill blocking the way. He was willing
there should be a full debate, and wanted
To know how much time would satisfy the
other side.
Mr.. Garfield replied that he could moi
fix any time.

shall have 1t,

day OF January. Laughter).
j Mr.. Frye remarked that the bill affected
every large corporation in the country
and should be considered by the Judicier!
Committee.
Mr.. Cox was willing to have vote takes
on that motion, but with the understand
ing that in case Of It's being voted dowt
there should be no more dilatory proceed
ings.
The Republicans declined to enter into
any such arrangement, and Mr.. Cox OK
claimed, Then We can't trust you.
Finally, as all efforts at compromise fail
ed, and as the Republicans declinel Il
vote, there was a call Of the House.
The call OF the House consumed tn

TOLEDO, O., Oct 1.-The weather is fine
and the city is well filled with visitors to
participate in the reunion of ex-prsoners
of the late war. Large numbers arrived
this morning and a reception 10 such was
given at the Railroad Bethel, where they
were provided with badges and escorted to
the various hotels.

touching, some being here who had not
met their old comrades since they sepa-
rated in Southern prisons during the war.
Sangerfest Hall is beautifully decorated
by the ladies Of Toledo with flags and
evergreens.
The names Of all the Southern prisons in
gilt letters appear at the corners of the hall,
and large column draped in evergreen is
placed in memory of the prisoners who

Board has not adjourned since noon yester-

pointment of all the Republican and one
Anti-Tanmany Inspector for each District,
did nothing. c
BY pairing off for meals the Commission
ers are able to continue the session indefn-
ately. The law demands four Inspectors
for each polling place. Only three have
been appointed, and if the Republicans do
not ooncede the right of the Democratic
Commissioners to name the fourth the dead
lock will not be broken until the Supreme
Court acts. ...t a.q...
The question is now raised as to the valid
lty of an election in case the fourth In
vpector is not appointed. Three form a
quorum, but it is contended that unless
the fourth is actually appointed the cleo
lion will be illegal October Z is the first
day OF registration, and it is possible the
dead lock will not be broken until then.
