CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25.-Mr.
Bayard addressed the Senate, 10 day,
in behalf OF his resolution to destroy
the tegal-tender quality of the green
backs.
Among other things he said: Mr..
President, we have heard in this
chamber illusions somewhat vague,
but non the less alarming. to an I'M
seen. underlined but terrible ''money
power" What is meant, sir, by
these ominous warnings against this
invisible, entangible, unreasonable
power? suppose, the power of cap
ital is what is decryed against! II
this is what is meant, how shall Law
deal with it? Capital is the result of
labor and frugality. 1t is by the vir
tues of thrift, working under the in
s~truction of intelligence and an en-
lightened self-interest, that capital is
first created, and afterwards accumu-
lated. Wealth and property of all
descriptions ri but forms of capital.
Encouragement is given by the recog-
milton of property to induce men to
exercise their faculties to gain it.
Are the laws protecting it founded
upon failacy and wrong? Are dis
elimination, suspicion and assault to
be vested upon those who have been
more successful than others in the
accumulation Of property?-Is it not
this "money power that enables a
poor laborer to become the owner of

Reports reach US that the Green
hackers in congress are going to
make their last stand on Viewers
army and navy bill. We are not sur
prlsed at this. The full endorsement
given this measure at the Washington
conference, was well calculated to
lead to such conclusions. Whatever
may be the result, it is evident there
are many in congress that do not like
being recorded as voting against any,
thing the soldiers demand. The
Forty-tbird Congress passed the
Bounty Equalization bill, and the
Forty-fifth voted for the Pension
Arrears bill under similar pressure to
that now brought against defeating
the Weaver bill, with the advantage
in it's favor of a near Presidential and
Congressional election. The WASH
ington Capital openly declares "that
no party will dare to repudiate the
just claim of such 4 body of voters
The bill is little less than a bare
faced proposition for their vote, to a
large body Of men, and no doubt
many IN congress will shrink from
performing their share Of the duty in
killing it.
MI. Viewers bill provided for the
issue of five hundred millions more Of
U. S. notes, to be a legal tender fol
all debts, public and private, and ap'
propriates this sum, or so mucl
of it as may be necessary, to equalizt
the payments made to soldiers il
greenbacks to coin. Now, no ont
a deny that if it is justly imperative
in the government and people to re
lieve the soldiers, the same rule ough
to apply to the civic as to the militar,
service. Perhaps, then, the prope
stopping place would not be reached
Why not make good to all classes
