The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1879-01-23

Mr.. TILDEN desires the Potter COM
mittee to visit his residence in New
York to hear his testimony in the ci-
pher telegram inquiry. When there he
can wine them and dine them, you
know, and it would be positively awful
to be severe with the good, simple
hearted old man. Were not the re-
quest he makes one of innocent good
heartedness, it would look like very
foxy scheme. The republican members
of the committee believe in serving a
subpoena on him, and treating him the
same as any other witness. But Pot
ter and his colleagues are disposed to
trot off to New York and beard the
sage of Grammercy Park in his palace.
1t would be like taking the mountain to
Mohammed.

during the first and second sessions of the AL'th
Congress convinced him that nothing short of con-
stitutOnal restraint will save the country from
continued and excessive issues Of lcgal-tenders IN
the future, and that it ia hopeless to expect the
next Congress to relieve the country from this great
peril to its renewed prosperity. In his opinion
there is thus a necessity for bringing the question
to the final test under the Constitution, by case on
which the Supreme Court will be compelled TO de-
eide whether legal-tender paper money in time OF
peace is constitutional.
In seeking TO bring such case before tho courts,
Mr. Chttcnden says he thought il best to seek for
prominent believer in egal-tender notes to support
that side. 1t will he seen that General Butler
handsomely shoulders the responsibility OF the
legal-tendcr side of the question.

WAsHINGION, March 1.-The contest over tho ap-
Preaching reorganization of both Houses and con-
nected matters bids fair to cause such political
excitement as has not been witnessed here for
many years.
Candidates for places about the Capitol, es-
pccially those in the Senate wing. are already ap-
pearng in shoals. II If estimated that there VIII
be between 5000 and 10000 candidates for
positions on the House and Senate rolls by the
time Congress meets; and the number Will un-
doubtedly be nearer the latter than the former.
ASIDE from the question of the spoiIs, strong
feeling is already beginning 10 manifest itself over
the sharp antagonists which are inevitably TO
exist between the Democrats in the Senate and
many Of those in the House 1t is accepted as GER
tam that the Senate Finance Committee will be
under the lead Of Mr.. Bayard as chairman, and that
1t Will be decidedly hard-money committee.
The House on the other hand, will contain large
soit-money element, independent Of the more eY-
irene Greenback men. 1t is admitted by many
Democrats that the two Houses will differ quite az
sharply on money issues as the Republicans and
democrats have differed on general issues between
