the Sundry Civil Bill.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-The Appro-
priatlon Committee of the House has
acted upon the amendments of the Senate
to the sundry civil appropriation bill,
non-concurring in nearly all those of i'm
portance. 1t recommends concurrence
in the clause relating to silver certificates
with an amendment SO az to make 1t read
as follows: "And the Secretary of the
Treasury is hereby authorized and re-
duired to issue silver certificates in de-
nominations of 81, 81 and 50, and the
silver certificates herein Authorized shall
be receivable, redeemable and payable in
like manner and for like purposes as pro-
yided for silver certificates by the act Of
Feb. %, 1878, entitled an act to authorize
the coinage of the standard silver dollar
and to restore its legal tender character,
aud the denominations of 81, 81 and 50
may be issued in lieu of silver certificates
OF larger denominations in the Treasury
or in exchange thereof upon presentation
by the holders, and to that extent said
certificates of large denomination shall
be cancelled and destroyed" The object
of the amendment made by the committee
is TO make clear the purpose OF the clause
that certificates OF large denominations
may be exchanged for smaller denomina-
tiOns.
The deficiency appropriation bill, as
passed by the Senate, shows an In
crease of 81, 1872, 195 over the aggregate ap-
preparation made by the House bill, max
ing the total appropriation for defcien-
cies $7,S07, 1853.
