laughter).
Mr.. Brosius, of Pennsylvania, op-
posed the measure, while Mr.. Hemp
hill, (Democrat) from South Caroline.
favored the bill, saying be was
opposed to the present law
which authorized the purchase Of
S4,5OO,OOO and thought the present
bill was preferable to it. No nation
on earth could hoard in it's vaults the
bullion from which the coinage of the
world was made. He would move
that at the proper time, two amend
ments, one to increase the amount of
silver put in the silver dollar to 522
grains so as TO make it equal in
market value to the gold, another
authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to increase or diminish
the amount of bullion in the
silver dollar to make it equal in
value to the gold dollar
Mr.. Walker, of Massachusetts, op-
posed the measure and said it was alb
surdity itself for Congress to enact
such bill into law. Mr.. Abbott, of
Texas, favored the bill and said that
the law Of 1873 was an outrage upon
the people of thss country. Mr..
Townsend, of Colorado, said every dol
lar should be as good as any other dol
lar. He favored bi-metallic currency
and the payment offoreign balances and
exchanges with silver bullion as we'll as
gold bullion. Mr.. Hayes, of Iowa,
opposed the bill and said that the pur.
pose OF the party in forcing the meas.
nre at this time was suicidal in the ex.
treme and the most obnoxious incident
in connection with this question was
the attempt of the Republicans to put
the Democrats in dilemma. Mr.. Gies

opposed the bill and said that depre-
citation of thirty cents on the dollar by
an act of Congress was unworthy of tht
American people. Mr.. Bunting (Dem

ure and was followed by Mr. Layton
of Ohio, who spoke in favor of tn,
measure. The House then adjourne,

The Raleigh CHRONICLE has been
sold to Mr.. T. r. Jernigan. Mr..
Josephus Daniels retires. While we
have not always been of the same mind
with the retiring editor, we have been
glad to see his growth and success. He
made better editor of a daily than We
expected, end we hope he vii! not cut
short his editorial life. So tar as we
recall he made the Giro .ICLE the
friend and ally Of morality aud religion
and sought to help North Carolina in
several ways-educ4ionaiIy. indus
trially. politically and SO on. The
Messenger wishes Mr. Daniels pros
perity, happiness and much usefulness
He was certainly one of the most tai
ented of the young editors of our
State. Mr.. Jernigan has had experience
both as the editor of q weekly and a
daily. We have never met him, but
hold him in high esteem as man of
pure character, sound Democrat
who knows what Democracy means, a
gentleman, man of scholarly tastes,
judicious editor, an unfal,ering advo.
cate of morality in politics and honor
among politicians, the steady friend OF
all that concerns the intellectual, DO
litical, material, educational and reli..
ious welfare of North Carolina. and q
good writer as well as an able man
We say this, that if we were to eve,
see Mr.. .Jernigan on the wrong side O
any moral question it would be sur
prise and shock to US. We nalurall,
look tor some men to take the wrong
side of all mora! questions. They
seem to be ''made that way" But no
Mr.. Jernigan. The Chronicle through
out its existence has been of service t,
North Carolina. 1t has made man,
warm friends and admirers, and ha
reached an unusual circulation for
North Carolina daily. We look 70
it to continue its growth in publ
favor, and its best standard will nc
be lowered by the new owner and ed
tor. Success to him and the CHRoN

WASHINGTON NEWS.
LORD SALISBURY'S REPLY.

LORD REPLY.
The correspondence on the Behring
sea matter, which went to the Senate !
this afternoon did not comprise the
full text of Lord Salisbury's reply to
the note of the 8th inst, but a synop-
sis of it, containing the principal
points, and the counter propositions
respecting a modus vivendi which his
Lordship offered, in full. This text,
it is understood, is coming by mail
and will doubtless confirm Lord Sails
bury's fondness for controversialism,
which, it is said, is really
responsible to great degree
for the 'dilly-dallying" of the subject
which he has shown. Response by the
Pres dent, which was considered and
approved by the cabinet yesterday, ac.
companied the synopsis of Salisbury's
reply. The latter puts forward sew
eral counter propositions on the sub
.ject of the modus uirends, which, when
read to the Senate, were heard with
the same sense Of indignation that
moved the members of the cabi-
net yesterday. President Har rison's
response-earnest and forceful, it is
said-elicited approval as its contents
were made known to the Senate.
The Senate determined to keep the
letters from the public. Copies had
been made at the State department for
the press with the expectation that the
Senate would order them to be made
known, but they are still being sacred
ly guarded. President Harrison's re-
sponse is said to be firm and emphatic.
1t reiterates the contentious made by
this government in the correspondence
and accuses Lord Salisbury of not
dealing directly and frankly with the
questions involved. And at the close,
it is said, he plainly informs his lord
ship that if necessary all the resources
of the United States, naval and mill
tary,will be called upon to maintain the
, rights of the United States in the Beh.
ring sea and protect the seals The con.
Guiding paragraph is described by one
who has read it, as ''a ringing snap.
per-" The communications were re.
ferred to the committee on foreign re.
lations AS to the probable action
upon that document, Senator who
has taken prominent part in the dis.
, cussion over it. said that it would most
, likely be ratified, although there is a
wide diversity of opinion on the ex
pediency or necessity of ratifying the
treaty under the present conditions
Another Senator confirmed this pre-
, diction.
Commander J. D. Graham has beer
relieved Of the command of the United
States Monitors at Richmond, Va
and Commander Pigman placed il

been made against Commander Ora
