DIsCoNTINUANCE-REso ADOPTED
WASHINGTON, February 5-The House
Committee on Coinage, Weights and Meas
ures this morning adopted, BY vote of six
TO two, the following resolutions, and in
structed Mr.. Bsliord to report them 10 the
House:
Resoiped, That it is inexpedieut 10 discon-
tinue the coinage OF silver under the existing
laws.
Resolved, That all coin now in the treas
ury, with the exception Of an amount not
exceeding twenty five per cent. OF the out
standing sreenbsck circulation as redemp-
ton fund, and also excepting all sums held
for the redemption of outstanding gold and
silver certificates, should be at once used in
the payment ef the outstanding interest
bearing obligations of the government,
which are subject to call and payment.
As it is the judgment of this committee
that it is inexpedient to suspend the coinsge
of the standard silver dollar under the ex-
isting law, and as in the judgment of the
treasury officials additional vault room tor
the safe storage of coins should be provided.
Resotred, That this committee recommend
that the Commiitee on Appropriations ap-
propriate such sum as they may deem ad-
visable and necessary for providing such
additional vault room, and we furt her rec
ommend that such additional vault roam
should be located in the Mi sissippi valley
at such point as shall be determined by the
Secretary of the Treasury.
Representative Fisher presided, and Rep.
resentstives Belford, Mcclure, Lacey. Pay

discussion preceding the fnal vote upon the
resolutions, Fisher and Lacey opposed tn.
twenty-five per cent. provision IS altogether
inadequate for the reserve fund. Burch ard,
director OF the mint, says that additioaal
vault room Tor The storage OF accumulated
| coin is absolutely necessary, whether tho
| coinage lis continued or suspended.
The following resolution, offered by Mr.
HsseltIue, Eas ruled out of order:
Resotred, That the Secretary of the Treas.
| ury be required TO psy idle metal money
now in government eaf-s and vaults to bond

payments be render at the present places
OF deposit of such me.sls, provided that the
Secretary of the Treasury may issue new legal

Col F. G. MoREHEAD, The spirited and
indefaligable president of the Cotton Plant
era Association, has secured the passage OF
an act of Congress which links the United
States government with the proposed Cotton
Exposition of 1884, and ssures it all the
strength Of It's influence and power at home
and abroad. 1t is TO be opened ard Gloss
BY the proclamation OF the President, all
entries by foreign NATIONS are 10 be admitted
free of duty, and the medals 10 be awarded
are to be made at the United States mint.
The government does not pay any subsidy,
makes no appropriation or subscription, and
is not in any way financially responsible for
the exposition. at which il will be repre-
sented by thirteen commissioners. This is
= great gaio, and ought to be an addi-
tional stimulus 10 Nsw Orleans, where
this fair Of right should be held.
The commercial metropolis Of The
South, the largest OF all the cotton
markets Of the world, the first cotton
port of the United States, and owing most
OF its wealth, population aud circumstance
to the staple, its press and people should, we
suggest, reconsider their refusal TO hold the
exposition. Accessible BY river as we'll as
rail, New Orleans might ssfsly couat upon
250Oo0 visitors. Every Southern State
would BE- represented, and nearly all those Of
the West, 80 that it would he sure to result
in not only success for the exhibitors and
for the cotton Interests OF the South gen.
orally, but p' cuniarily for The city and those
venlui iug their money in The enterprise.
We : hope New Orlesns will recon-
z slider her dtci.ion sod go to the assist
ancs Of Col. Morebesd, whose persisiency
and courage have been so promptly indorsed
by Congress throu.h Senators George, of
Mississippi, and Garland, of Arkansas, and
Mr.. Money. the welI-known representative
from Tue former State. Col. Morehesd Is
determined that there shall be an ezposi-
uop, and the APPEAL, warmly spplaudlng

THE PROGRAMME
OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE FOR THE WEE
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.

THE EAPPkOfhlA11On
WASHINGTON, February 5-The pro-
gramme Of business for the Senate this week
is extremely simple, the Intention OF the
IN ,iority being to press consideration OF the
Ftnance Committees tariff measure each
day, and generally until late hour in The
evening, to the exclusion OF all other than
merely formal legislative business. Some
brief e executive sessions will be held, and it
Is expected that an adjournment will be
taken st a comparatively early hour Tues
day afternoon, as a mark of respect to the
memory of two deceased members of the
House. But aside from these Interruptions,
the entire time will doubtless be devoted 10
an attempt to complete consideration of the
psndiag bill. Ii is very doubtful, however,
whether the bill can be returned to the
House by the end of this weeE, for regard
less of the many dispu!ed tar'f questions
| which remain uuacted upon, there may be a
renewal of the disc oussion OF last session in
regard TO various features OF the original
| framework of the bill, which, as 1t passed
| internal taxation.
Pretty much the same programme will be
| carried out in the House. With the excep-
iion of Tuesday afternoon being devoted to
| eulogi-s on the late Representatives Hawk
| aud Upde graf, and the consideration of sp-
| preparation bills, the entire time will be
| given up to the consideration OF the tariff.
The present condition of the regular au-
nual appropriation billie, briefly stated, is as
| follows: The agricultural bill has become a
law; the consular and diplomatic, military
acsdemv, Indian and pos,efice bills have all
| passed both houses, and are in the hands OF
conference committee; the army appro-
priatiou bill and pension bill are on the
calendar OF the Senate ready for action by
thai body; the District of Columbia, the for.
tiicstion and navy appropriation bills
are under examination by subcommittee
and will probably be reported to The Sen ate
| from the full Committee op Appropriations
during the present week; the legisialivs, ex.
eculive and judicial appropriation bill is
on the Hou-e calepd n; The river aud hsrbor
bill is in course OF preparation by the House
Cowmittee on Commerce, and the work of
preparing the suudry evil bill is we'll ad.
vanced by the House Committee on Appro-
prlations, who will probably inclnde in this
measure, as a matter OF convenience. thi.
| year, all items OF appropriation which are
usually combined to form the general de-
| 6cieucy bill.
