Washington, Sept 2-This morning

li,a called on the President to satisfy
himself of the condition of the Presidents
health. he thinks the alarming reports
recently published are absolutely false

Carolina delegation for government relief
for the sufferers from the recent storm

and navy departments for relief
COSTLY CLERK HIRE.
On Monday Mr.. Paynter, of Kentucky
will introduce the minority report from
the committee of accounts, opposing al
lowing clerks to the fifteen smaller COM
mittees He has Investigated the matter
and says the committee on expenditures
of the agricultural department made one
Il report in eight ye,.rs and has paid 81, 200
Il clerk hire; committee expenditures of the
& war department, two reports in eight
n years; expenditures of the navy depart
n ment, one report in the same time; and
+ expenditures in the postofice department,
E the same, and so on.
Messrs. Lester and Turner are in sym
pathy with this report. Since every mem
Der is allowed a clerk, they see no reason
why these smaller committees should
have them.
MR.. TURNER'S VIEWS APPLAUDED.
Mr.. Turner spoke to-day, opposing that
rule which allows 100 to constitute quo
rum of the committee of the whole. He
said democrats under the operation of
this rule in the F'ifty-first congress
squirmed and kicked against it one whole
session and now he asked, what has
changed our condition. Why should we,
who denounced Reed four years ago. now
adopt his methodist The speech was
loudly applauded by many.
Mr.. Whitesides of Chattanooga, has
been appointed pOstoftice inspector in
charge of the division embracing Tennes-
Alabama.
REPEAL ASSURED ON A VOTE.
The vote on repeal in Senate is expected
in three weeks, and if it comes to a vote
there is no doubt of its passage. The
silver men are very much discouraged.
Come are still determined on filibuster
ing, but their number is too small to war
rant the hope of success. They cannot
Hold out against continuous sessions which
the repeal men will resort to, if, indeed,
they do not attempt to force cloture.

THE SILVER BULLION.
There is very decided opinion
among many members of the House,
including some of the most prOmi-
heht leaders, that the silver bullion
now IN the treasury should be coined
Inc amount of this bullion is something
over !53,OOO000 ounces. At the present
valuation of silver, this would make
something like hundred and eighty mil
non dollars This bullion, as it is now in
iuc treasury, does no good, but much
