THE RICHMOND DISPATCH-WEDNEsDAY. JANUARY 49, 1885,


the consideration Of the Presidents
message.
Mr.. Reagan took the floor with long
and carefully-prepared speech upon the
financial question, advocating tho double
standard Of value, condemning the ma
tional-banking system, and arguing in
favor Of applying portion Of the sur
plus in the Treasury to the gradual pay
ment Of the public debt. He earnestly
combatted the proposition to suspend
the coinage Of the silver dollar, main
tanning that such Q course would have
the effect Of making few more mil
lionaires and adding largely to the army
OF tramps and paupers.
Mr.. Bland, Of Missouri, said that he
had no doubt that the Committee on
Coinage, Weights, and Measures would
report some measure on the silver ques-
ton at an early day, and, if necessary,
give week for discussion. He there
fore moved that the committee rise, in
order that the debate might be post
poned until it came up in regular order.
Mr.. Symes, of Colorado, asked whe-
Their the gentleman could inform the
House with any degree Of certainty
whether the committee would report in
one, two, or three days, or in week?
Mr.. Bland could not say exactly
when it would report, or what it would
report, but he had no doubt that the
subject would come up in regular
order.
Mr.. Symes stated that he knew
number Of gentlemen on the floor who
desired to deliver silver speeches,
which were becoming somewhat cold
owing to the daily discussion in the
Senate. He therefore gave notice that
at rs early day as possible, provided
the Coinage Committee did not report
an appropriate subject for debate,
he would move that the House
go into committee Of the whole
in order to give these gentlemen an OPP
portunity to deliver their speeches. In
fact. he was willing they should have
an opportunity to-day. The question
was put on Mr.. BANDS motion, and
although it was solidly opposed by the
Republicans, it was carried by vote Of
70 to 70.
The House then, at 2:l5 p. NJ, ad-
iourned.

WASHINGTON, January l2.-The
Cabinet meeting to-day was attended
by all the members except Secretary
Endicott, who is out Of the city. The
session was unusually long, lasting for
about three hours and q half. 1t was
mainly devoted to considering the pol
icy to be adopted by the Administra-
ton with respect to applications made
by certain committees Of the Senate for
information in regard to changes made
in certain Federal offices during the re-
cess Of Congress. A general inter-
change Of views was had on this sub
ject, but so far as can be learned no
decided action was taken.

IBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l

PRINCESS ANNE, Nd, January IL.
Judge Holland to-day sentenced Cap
tain John A. Williams to eighteen
years. Imprisonment in the peni-
tertiary for the murder Of Otto May
her, Q seaman. on the schooner Eva.
The murder, which was particularly
brutal, was committed in November,
1884. Williams was convicted last
April, but the case was carried to the
Court of Appeals on some technicality,
when the ruling Of the lower court
against new trial was affirmed. May
her claimed TO be German count, and
the prosecution Of his murderer was
pressed by the German Society Of Mary
land.

course of all of his economic reading, he
said, from Moses to Sunset Cox laughter
he had never met case so weak as that
made now by the enemies of silver. lie
had heard many cases argued in school,
boy clubs and in crossroads debating
societies; he had heard pleas made
from the tail-end Of gingerbread carts
had read the endless platitudes in the
Congressional Record, but he had
never met or seen worse abuse Of logic
or a feebler attempt to outrage
common sense than the arguments used
by our bankers, bondhonders, and
eold.men generally in the discussion
Of this silver question. 1.-THE rapacity
of ayarice," he said, was so repug.
nant to the moral sense Of mankind
that it always sought to disguise its
ueliness by assuming the garb Of virtue;
SO bondholders and bankers told US
that they wanted silver coinage stopped,
not for their own advantage, oh, no
but for the sake of the poor working
man, whom they preferred to their own
chiefest 10y" Mr.. Vance ridiculed
this pretension, and said the war on silver
was in the interest, not of those who
labor, but of those who speculate in
money. In reply TO statement
that people would not take thu
silver dollar, and that wher
issued it had always come back to tn
Treasury, Mr.. Vance commended th.
the law required our officers to pay il
out, and il it came back to pay it Out
again. IL the officers OF the Govern
ment had done their duty and complied
With the laws there would have been NJ
