in an interview the other day, attempted to

the Committee on Banking and Currency,
and Mr.. Bland, Of Missouri, as chairman
OF the Committee on Coinage, Weights and
measures-two OF the most rabid opposera
Of our present systems OF banking and
coinage-there Is not feeling Of content
ment among the bankers oil the country.
This is evidenced by the number ot letters
that reach the Senators aud Representatives
now from men who are opposed TO tinker
ing with the National banks further than
to provide more bonds upon which to Issue
circulation. There is decided protest
against the proposition OF Mr., Buckner to
have the Government issue all currency,
thus doing away with National banks, un.
less they are authorized by system Of
State or Government deposits to operate.
With the present shaky condition ot the
stock markets and tho doubtful and.prob.
ably inflated state rf value Of real estate, it
is feared any decided move on the
national banks, or even a cessation OF
the coinage of,the standard silver dollar,
which Is threatened, may precipitate
panic. A vigorous protest sgainst 0 change
Of the national banking system will prob
ably have the effect Of leaving il as 1t is.
1t Is doubtful, however, ifa bill changing
the national banking laws could be gotten
through the Senate by any means.

ing Of the tragedy which deprived him Of
liberty. On other subjects he talks freely
and enjoys the visits Of bis friends. Mrs.
Mutt sees her son every day, and Miss
Mutt is also regular in her visits. Mrs.
Mutt said to friend the other day that she
felt much annoyed at publication in
one OF the Pittsburgh papers. II was a re-
porter's interview with Judge White, in
which the latter Is represented as saying
that he believed Mutt legally guilty, and

Mr. CARLISLE and Tue Irish Question.

WASHINGTON, December 27.-The Irish
question will be likely to give Mr.. Carlisle
some concern before Congress ends. There
Is an impression smopg some Of the en-
thusiastic representatives OF the Irish
cause that Mr.. Finerty, for instance, was
kept off from Foreign Aftairs because oihis
very pronounced position on the Irish
question. Mr.. Cox, another champion oi
irish rights, Is left OF that committee,
chiefly because young Belmont is lett on
the committee. 1rishmen look At young
Belmont as holding the proxy Of his father,
and one need but to mention the name ol
August Belmont in an audience Of Irish
Americans to learn in what esteem he Ia
held. The Irish-Americens will be pretty
certain to say that Mr.. Carlisle, as to the

THERE is in the West and South strong
opposition to the passage Of q National
bankrupt bill. The agricultural interests
in those sections think they are getting
along well enough under State laws, and in
the South particularly there is disposition
to resent what is regarded as National in.
reference. This opposition, II persisted in,
will be strong enough to defeat any bank
rupt measure in the House. On the other
hand the friends Of a national bankrupt act
are not sgreed upon any specific measure
and show no great determination. It is
very evident now that 1t was a blunder to
repeal the bankrupt act and put nothing
in its place. Itshould have been amended

it had required an entire new measure to
amend it. Congress should have unmade
