WASHINGTON, January 2S.-In the
Senate today, Morrill,, in introducing a
bill (Windom's) authorizing the issue of
Treasury notes on deposits of silver bull
lion, and having it referred to the COM
mittee on finance, said the committee
had addressed @ communication to the
Secretary OF the Treasury, asking him to
formulate bill in accordance with his
recommendations in his annual report in
relation to silver; that bill had been re-
ceived, and, without committing him.
| self or any member of the committee to
| it, he asked to have it printed and re-
ferred. The bill was referred to the
committee on finance as requested.
A bill to relieve the Treasurer from the
amount charged to him and deposited
With the several States was passed.
i A bill refunding to the States and Ter
ritories the moneys collected under the
Direct Tax bill of 1861 was passed, after
, vigorous debate.
. CHANDLER RESOLUTION,
: Discussed yesterday, was taken up again.
George continued his argument. He
: condemned the hanging of Secretary
Proctor in etfigy, and pronounced an
!, eulogy on Jefferson Davis as never hav-
: ing betrayed trust either for the United
I States or the Confsderacy.
Spooner replied warmly. He regretted
= that the Senator had taken occasion to
euloeize Jefferson Davis in the Senate of
the United States. The people of the
North believe, contrary to George, that
s Davis sat in the Senate daily
betraying the highest trust reposed
g in man. They did not exc.
s crate his memory for this, however,
q but because they held him responsible
e for the atrocious cruelties visited on
}, Union prisoners. Referring to the bru-
e tai whipping of Faunce because he acci-
> dentally dropped the rope which held up
;, the Proctor efiigy, Spooner spoke oi
o Faunce being laehed through the streets
q of Aberdeen, followed by a crowd of 800,
n not one of whom interfered. The Mayor
|. OF the city was appealed to in vain. The
@ resolution if it did nothing else, would
@ show that in the country was one com.
n munity (Aberdeen) where love of the
,s memory Of Davis was stronger than res
y pect for law.
l. Gray, of Delaware, offered an amend
r. ment, which was adopted, calling fol-
1t the letter to the Marshal, which brought
II the report. Several other amendments
were adopted, including one by Call
calling for information about the recen
hanging in effigy in Indiana of Presiden
>, Harrison, and of President Cleveland il
Kansas. The resolution went over.

s Dorsey reported bill from the com
"a mittee on banking and currency, for the
a issue of circulating notes to national
d banks, On deposit of bonds, etc.

g interest Of bankers.
