Ar. Buekner, OF Missouri, viii introduce
to- o-uorrow bill to prevent undue contrao,
tion Of the cerrency; also bill providirg g
thai only 20 per cant. of the
old coinage of the mints shall
20 in $50 pieces and that tbs
remainder shall be il denominations of
los, 80 and 2115 pieces. Il provides that
hera shall be 40 further issues OF paper
either greenbanks Or bank
notea, of denominations less that $40, and
that as rapidly as the SO, S. and ST bank
notes and greenbecks come into the treas
ury their PLACES shall be filed by issues of
tbs same amount of $40 notes. The effect
of this would be to call in $20,000.000 of
ones, $27,000,000 of twos, and nearly $685.
100000 Of fves in greenbacks and nation
