the most unsatisfactory day OF The Presi-

signs OF less hope for the Presidents re-

officials, and others OF more or less import

indications. With few exceptions, official
bulletins have been referred to as answers
to interrogatories as 10 the patients cOndi'

to say.
While the number OF callers during the
day has been small, the evening being con-

have been here have shown the most intense
anxiety, and, II not by their conversations,
have by their &C ions manifested that In their

YEsTERDAH Senator Dawes, inti-
mated in the Senate that the Demo
srats had offered to buy Mahone's vote.
This created tremendous sensation
and led to the disgraceful scene that
followed. When Dawes was appealed
10 by all the Democratic Senators to
name the Democratic Senator who
had tried to buy Mahone's vote he said
ne did not say SO. There has been a
studied effort among the Radical Sena-
tors to bring about fight in the Sen

REFUNDING THE PUBLIC DEBT uu-

course. The N. Y. Herald approves

while it denies his power to do legally

he may succeed in his object. But it

GREAT hopes are entertained by
some Of our citizens that gas will be
furnished very much cheaper by some
OF the new companies that were char
tered last winter. We hope they will
not be deceived in their desires. But
we have no knowledge of any process
by which gas can be manufactured
cheaper than is now done by the VIII
mington Coal Gas Company. That
Company has offered to supply gas for
cooking at $3.50 a thousand feet and
gentlemen who are able to use it for
this purpose will find it a great con-
venience in their houses.

THE BAYARD AMENDMENT

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says:
The wisdom of the Bayard amendment
to the Sundry Civil bill, inserted in the
closing hoars of the last session, of Con.
gress, is now fully realized In the
Treasury Department. When it was
known that the Funding bill would fail
the Assistant Secretary thereupon called
Mr.. Bayard's attention to the large
amount OF surplus revenue which would
have TO remain idle for MANY months
unless some authority was given for its
use, and he submitted the following.
which was enacted into law and without
which the programme announced by the
Secretary would have been impractica-
BILE If not impossible. The section is as
That the Secretary of the Treasnrv
may at any time apply the surplus money
In the Treasury not otherwise appro-
priated, or so much thereof as he NAV
consider proper, to the purchase or re-
demption of United States bonds; proyi-
ded that the bonds SO purchased or re-
deemed shall constitute no part of the
sinking fund, but shall be cancelled.
The Secretary can anticipate In his
purchases of the skies the entire amount
required for the sinking fund for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, on that
should $50,0OO,000 of the SKIES be nre-
sented for payment the Treasury would
not pay one dollar more than the law
requires should be maid durino tha e.,
year beginning July next. After the
sinking fund Is provided for the surplns
can be used IN the redemption of bonds.
1t so happens that the surplus on hand
at the end of this fiscal year will meet
The entire payment required for the next
fiscal year, and thus the Secretary is able
to count on large cash balance with
which TO carry on the funding operations
without drawing dollar from the re.
sumption fund.

SETTLED AT LAsT.-A decree was
made in the United States Circuit Court
yesterday with reference to the dispute
over the Junction Railroad. The decree
directed that the tolls charged by the
Pennsylvania Railroad over the disputed
track shall not exceed those named in
the charter. In regard 10 freight in cars
the Court fixed prices at cents per
ton, 2 cents for each four-wheels when
loaded and 2 cents for each four-wheels
when empty. The receipt of the charges
named, the decree says, s,does not pre-
judice the right of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to claim otherwise
