! concur with the secretary of the
treasury in recommending the immedi-
| ate suspension of the coinage OF silver
dollars and the issuance of silver
certificates. This is matter to which
in former communications have more
than once invoked the attention of the
national legislature. 1t appears that
annually for the past six years there
have been coined in compliance with
the requirements of the act of Februa-
ry 2S, 1873, more than 27,QOO,OOO of
silver dollars. The number now out
standing is reported by the secretary
to be nearly 100000, whereof but
little more than 10000, 900, or less than
% per cent. are in actual circulation.
The mere existence of this fact seems
to Inc to furnish of itself cogent argu-
inent for the repeal of the statute
which has made such fact possible,
but there are other and graver comsid-
erations that tend in the same direc-
ton. The secretary avows his con-
viction that unless this coinage and the
| issuance of silver certificates be sus-
pended, silver is likely at no
distant day to become our sole metallic
standard and the impairment of the
national credit that would be thus occa
stoned can scarcely be over estimated.
| hope that the secretary's suggestions
respecting the withdrawal from circu-
laIion of the one and two dollar notes
will receive your approval. 1t ia likely
that Il considerable portion of the sill
yer now in the vaults of the treasury,
might tind its way into currency, while
trade dollars have ceased, for the pres
ent III least, to he an element OF active
disturbance in our currency system.
The same provision should be made for
their surrender to the government. In
view OF the circumstances under which
they were coined and of the fact that
they have never had legal tender
quality, there should be offered for
them but a slight advance over their
bullion value. The secretary. in the
course of his report, considers the pro-
priety OF beautitying the designs OF our
subsidiary silver coins, and of so in
creasing their weight that they may

been 4S hours in the State Library

been in the State two weeks at a

it, did net want any salary. yet did
several very peculiar things to get
full pay and now asks to be further
honored by being sent as delegate
to Chicago The party does not

THE BUNCOMBIsTs.

Ever since America has had .
Congress the buncombists have
been in the majority in both
Houses. The matter is there re-
vert4d to because of the importance
now attached to the Lasker resolu-
ton. Introduced for the veriest
buucombe, it has now become the
subject of a grave National dispute
and may possibly result in war
with Germany. Congress of late
years has become . perfect stamp
ing ground of buncombe resolu-
tions, which are not meant for any
thing except to pull wool over the
eyes of the deluded constituents of
Congressman. One of the bun
oombist of all the buncombe pieces
of Congressional work was Hewett's
O'Donnell resolution. intended
solely as sop to the Irish, and sup
ported by every man who expected
that his Irish constituents would
throw Up their hats over it. Half
y dozen of this class of resolutions
are introduced every day. A favor
lite dodge is to introduce bills call
ing for appropriations which are
never made. but if a notice of such
a bill is telegraphed back to the
section from which the Repre-
sentative halls, the only object Of
the bill is attained. If Congress
men wonld cease this sort of child's
play and go to work on some really
important question, Congress
would be viewed by the public as
something distinct from the big
masquerade it now is.

David Degnan, the cattle drover who is accused
of shooting Robert CaTman on Monday night in the
beeI shop at Seventh-avc. ard wenty -second-st.,
was IN the jefferson Market Court yesterday
charged with homicide. CaIman had died in St.
Vincent's Hospital in the morning Degnan pleaded
scf-defence Elmer T.. Ihorne, witness. said that
Carman and another man were fighting and that
Degnan took the weapon ard shot its owner IN the
neck Coroner Levy with jury viewed Carman's s
body at the hospital. An autopsy was also made by
struck Carman. 1t had entered the body at the
neck passing downward into the left lung and
thence ranging to the back where it lodged Just
as a wound made by second bullet was
only an incison made by the surgeons
in order that the injured man might breathe more
freely. THIS does away with the story of thId
shot having been fired, and also wcakens Degnans r
defence which was that he fired IN self-defence.
Both shots were from Degnan's pistol Coroner
Levy will hold AN Inquest Tomorrow.
