Banking and Currency.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE house COM
mittee on banking and currency to-day had
read Representative Buckner's bill providing
for a stable and uniform paper circulation.
Mr.. Dingley offered the following:
ResolUed, That the interests of the country
will be best promoted by the continuance of
the national banking system either under the
act extending the corporate existence of such
existing banks as may desire to continue
business under the original articles of the as
ISOLATION, or by the organization of new banks
under existing laws, to take the place Of those
whose charters may expire, as may hereafter
appear to be a wise course.
The committee will consider the resolution
later.

Death of Ex-Gov. Bullock.

WORCESTER, Mass, Jan. lex Governor
Bullock dropped dead ON the sidewalk about
o'clock this afternoon of apoplexy.
The ex-governor was about the street during
the afternoon and was on his way home to
take the usual afternoon horseback ride
There was nothing in his appearance during
the day to lead to the inference he was not in
his usual health. He has suffered somewhat
lately of indigestion.
A letter was received to-day from ex-Gov.
Bullock by ex-Mayor Prince, declining to be
present at the dinner of the Webster centen-
NAL association of this city, tomorrow, on
account of illness in his family. The letter

WASHINGTON, jim. 16.-Representativ
Vance has introduced bill and preamble
which recites that much injury to the mai
service of the United States has grown out of
the custom of men bidding all over the coun-
try for carrying the mails. and then sub-letting
to parties who are often unable to deliver
them within due time for the want of means,
and that the mails are often stopped by sub
contractors suddenly giving up their contracts,
and the original contractors being, as is often
the case, in distant states, are not in a
position to remedy the evil at once
and as remedy has the bill instruct the post
master general not to recognize sub mail con-
tractors, but that hereafter when bid is &C.
cepted by the department, the contractor alone
shall be held responsible at the department,
and IN case of his failure, his surety or sure
ties on >his bond shall be liable. The con-
tractor who violates this act shall be dis
missed from his contract, and it shall be de-
clared null and void, provided that this act
shall not be construed to be prohibition of
contractors from employing persons in carry
ing the mail.

appointment of Committees.
Especial to Western Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The discussion in
to the rules, to increase tie number of the
most important committees, has had the effect
of considerably increasing the feeling that has
existed in regard to the composition, of COM
mittees. The question as itnow stands before
the house involves several matters of inter-
est. There are several different elements, each
having distinct object in view and each en-.
deavoring to attain it through these PROPOSE
tions. There is one element that is resentfu1
toward the speaker, and it is bent upon rebuk-
ing and embarrassing him if possible. There
is another element favoring the adoption of the
amendment, with the idea that it will tend
to strengthen the speaker by enabling him to
provide for members who have regarded them
selves as sighted. Then there are the Democrats
who are willing to use the question to divide
and distract the Republicans and make mischief
out of it in any shape possible. And besides
these are some members who are seeking to
tack an amendment on this amendment to
authorize the committee on improvement of
navigation of the Mississippi river to frame
and report appropriation bills for this pur-
pose. The fifty whine new committee places
e contemplated h.re in ,.en Ronssons am.
6nQu6nG nave De6Q prompted Dy
these considerations and of course members
who expect them are supporters of the amend
ment. The Democrats as body opposed the
amendment, but they voted against laying it
on the table to day, because they want to get
vote on Orth's substitute. To have tabled
the amendment would have killed the whole
subject, and this the Democrats don't want to
do. Ortiz moved as substitute to his propo-
sition to refer the appointment of committees
at the beginning of each congress to a COM
mission created for the purpose. He positive
ly disclaimed any idea or intention of interior
ing with the present organization, but at the
very time he was entering that disclaimer,
quiet conferences were being held on the floor
with regard to- the practicability of making
Orth's substitute apply to the present organi.
cation, in the event of it's adoption.
Orth was no doubt ignorant of
this part of the scheme, but there were mem
bers who maintained that Orth's substitute
once adopted would apply to the present Or
ganization, and would upset it. Their theory
was the present house did not formally adopt
any rule for its organization, that it followed
the precedent and organized under the rules
of the last house, and that this organization
would stand good if the rules of the last
house were adopted, but that to adopt rule
of its own governing the organization would
in effect be retraction. or would at least have
the effect of rendering null the present organ

Universal Indulgence in Tobacco.

The London Globe says: The smoke which
most forces itself upon the attention = travellers
in Russia is neither the smoke of IT,. peasants
isba nor the vapOr from flaming towns 1t is
the smoke caused by the burning of tobacco in
the debatable and much-debated fashion pursued
in the countries of western Europe. Here, how
ever. lack of power or want of will to smoke is
we-nigh unintelligible. man who objects to
smoking is much more insufferable nuisance
than the man who insists upon smoking. To tell
the truth. however neither OF these two classes
exist in this country. The Russians do not divide
society into smokers and non-smOkers; they de-
cline to make railway carriages a sort of
battle-ground for those who love the weed and
those who do not: they refrain from suggest
ing. either by word or deed. that mans social
qualities or responsibility be at all correctly
inferred from his attitude towards tobacco. The
reason Tor this is that in Russia everybody
smokes. and provision IS made accordingly.
Save the church, no place is here sacred from
the weed. The papyrOs is no respecter OF dOlnes-
tic sanctitieS. Every chamber OF every Well-kept
house has its pepenitsa for the reception of cigar
ashes Hotels have similar cOnyenienceS. smoking
being practised as we'll as permitted in
every accessible apartment in these buildings. In
England the railway traveller is left to dispose
/ of his cigar ashes either 10y depOsiting them
on the floor OF the compartment or by diSpOSinG
of them through the window. In the former
/ Ease the result Is always uiictcdnliHeSS-i tne
latter the wind sometimes interferas with the
smokers project. not always to the conve-
nience of his fellow passengers. Here railway
authorities provide small box or receptacle
in each carriage for the use OF those who smoke.
The tobacco question is all the more easy to
deal with in Russia, for the reason that women
smoke well as men. The Russians themselves
| am here giving Il masculine opinion of the
masculine seX-are inclined to diSparage femi-
nine Indulgence IN the weed. and to regard the
women who smoke as socially fast" 1t is true
enough that one sees few women smoking here in
the street. Public use of tobacco in the daytime
is confined among the female sex to the peasant
classes. At the same time disinclinatiOn to be
considered fast is no proof of a wOman's in
capacity to consume large quantities of tobacco
As matter of fact. the middle and the upper
classes in st. Petersburg are all of them, will
rare exceptions, inyeterate smokers. The silver
or gold papyros case is much more indispensa-
bic than a fan to a lady mixing in society. TIC
be without cigars is to be careless of ones rep.
utatiOn. For a guest, lady or gentleman, &c
/ decline a papyros, is one of the most seriou:
| social Ofenses that can be committed.

DEXTER,S LUCK.
A story Of the Discovery Of the Rober
Il. Lee Mine i'm Colorado.
From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
Last evening a reporter met Mr.. Richard
Knowles, prominent miner of the Gunnison
country, in Colorado. He said: "While was
yet in Leadville man came up there from Den
yer named Dexter-Jim Dexter they called him
and he was full of life and hope, and had some
money. Dexter looked about him for a while,
and finally bought claim on Carbonate Hill,
which had, at that time, not been prospected
very well. He paid think, about s15, 900 for
1t, and set to work putting in machinery and
sinking the shaft, which was already down
some 100 feet or more. He worked away on
the mine. people laughing at him good deal
but he never once lost heart. The mine
had not shown upa single thing In the way of
mineral, and the shaft had been sunk by that
time several hundred feet Dexter did not
know what to do. He Rad now spent nearly all
the money he had and nothing was coming in
One day in the early part of the year 1879
party came to him and asked him what he
would take for his mine. Dexter told him, and
bargain was made between them. The price
paid was, think. S30, COO some $1,000 more
than Dexter had spent on it altogether He
was mighty glad to get the $4,000. and
thought himself well out of a bad bargain. He
rushed out to Carbonate Hill and ordered the
miners to drop their toOlsRnd quit work. This
was about o'clock In the afternoon. He said
Boys. / have sold this Id hole and | don't
want you to work another minute in it for me.
i will pay you off right nov and you can quit
Well, the miners had just finished a drill and
were going to place blast and uncover some
rock. and they asked to be allowed to finish it
before they quilted work. No. said Dexter,
come out. don't want you to work any more;
there is nothing in the Id old hole The men
reluctantly quilted and departed. Dexter got
his money and was happy.
"Wel, the mine had been bought by a stock
company. and i'm short time they began work
on it, Now. young man, what am going to tell
you is the solemn TRUTH said the miner
Those fellows went up there to that mine and
laid fuse to the blast left by Dcxter's men and
touched it Off After the smoke cleared away
they went in to see how much rock had been
lOosened. when what do you think: There
before their eyes they saw the richest body Of
silver ore which has ever been seen since the
world began. At that time hundreds of
thousands of dollars met the gaze OF the de-
lighted owners. of the richest kind of ore. Well
young fellow" continued Mr.. Knowles, that
mine was the celebrated Robert E. Lee, which has
made everybody rich who has had anything to
do with it since Jimmy Dexter sold it. Millions
OF dollars have been turned out of it. and it is
the greatest silver mine in the world"
