Introduction of the Postal Telegraph
Bill in the Senate.
What Senator Thinks of its Pros

Tender Question.

WASHINGTON CITY, April 10.--A member
of the senate committee on postoffices and
post-roads said of the committee bill, now
nearly ready to report to the senate: 1T fixes
the maximum rates at about what
the English rates are, and opens
to competition the whole business.
am assured by Dr. Green, of the Western
Union, that all the leading telegraph com
panies will compete for the contract Of fur
nishing postal telegraph, and that it would
take but a few weeks for the Western Union
to put 1900 offices in operation. The
rates the government and people will
get by the bill will be so far
below those of present rate that they would
lead one to believe it would be a ruinous busi-
ness, but | am told the increased business
the low rates will produce will more than
make up the reduction of the aggregate in
come to the company successful in bidding
"Do you think the bill will become lawg'
asked the correspondent.
"There is no doubt Of it," replied the
senator II told DR.. Green recently that il
is only question of time when the govern
ment will supply the people with telegraphit
facilities, and am satisfied the telegraph
companies realize this now | think the
bill will pass"

The Henuepin Canal.

WASHINGTON CITY. April 10.-5ecretary
Wright, of the Mississippi River convention,
is good deal puzzled just now to know what
ought to be done in regard to the Hennepin
canal He has been appealed to by the
friends of canal, especially the Iowa, mem
bers, to go before the river and har-
Dor committee and urge the insertion of a
clause in the river and harbor bill appropri-
ating half a million for the Hennepin canal.
They say finally that the Hennepin canal
bill, as reported from the committee on rail
ways and canals, appropriating sl,OOO,-
600 for the Hennepn canal, is SO far down on
the calendar that there's no hope of reaching
it this session, and so the only hope the
canal has is to get it into the river and harbor
bill. Members Of the committee in
sist that they have no power to in
sert canal appropriations in the
river and harbor bill, and that il they open
the doors to one canal they must load down
their bill with every canal In the country.
Mr.. Wright is undecided whether it is his
duty under the resolutions of the convention
to go before the committee in behalf Of the
HenueDin canal or not

WASHINGTON CITY, Apra 10 The sub
committee of the house committee on ju-
dietary has agreed upon joint resO-
luton proposing q constitutional amend
ment relating to the currency. The
proposed amendment is as fol-
lows: "The legislative powers granted CON
gress by the constitution shall not be con-
strued to include the power to pass any law
making anything but gold and silver coin
tender in payment of debts except after a
declaration of war, or in case of rebellion or
invasion, when the public safety may de-
mand it"
Comptroller Knox has recently completed
historical paper on the subject of United
States Notes." which will soon be given to
the public. The first chapter of TIE article is
upon the subject of Colonial Paper Money"
the second upon "The Issue of Continental
Paper Money" and the third upon "BiIls of
Credit in the Federal Convention" The de-
bate in the federal convention in reference
to emitting bills of credit is given in full,
and is important for che reason that the sub
ject of authorizing bills of credit issued by
the government to lie legal tender is here
for the first time discussed. This proposition,
though twice presented to congress, was not
subsequently considered until the legal tender
act of 1862 was introduced and discussed
in the house of representatives,. The
original clause in the constitution on
this subject provided that "the legislature Of
the United States shall have power to bor-
| row money an emit bills on the credit of the
United States" On the motion for striking
| out the words "and emit bills" nine states
| voted in the affirmative and two in the mega
tive-namely, New Jersey and Maryland,
Mr.. Martin, of Maryland, who was in favor OF
retaining the words in his address to the gis-
lature of Maryland soon after the proceeding
| OF the convention, said that the convention
| was willing to risk any political evil rather
| than admit the idea of a paper emission il
any possible ss-ss, refused to truss this author
| ity to government to which they were Law
| ishing the most unlimited powers of taxation
| and to the mercy of which they we-u
