This SURPRISES the record Of the first

and received the severe condemnation Of
tho people.
The Democratic House must receive its
fuu share OF the blame for this reckless
extravagauce. TO has been false 70 the
pledges upon which 10 was elected. 1t has
discredited Democracy.
This criticism is harsh to the point OF
being unjust, as the World subsequently,
Acknowledges:
Nearly every appropriation as passed
bv the House, I'm which these bills must
originate, was Increased by the Repuoli-
can Senate. The aggregate Of these addi-
lions is not yet figured out, but 10 will,
Judging 5v the past, more than equal the
amount by which the total exceeds a bill

did not, we believe, In single Instance
iuterpose his veto 90 protect the taxpayers.
in addition TO this, the increase Of perma-
ncnt appropriations made by the Fifty-frst
or Reed COagreSs, which the late Congress
was bound % provide for amounted 70
nearly $7O, 600, 900.
The Republicans are therefore directly

total appropriations ami STARE the respOu-

The Democratic end Of the late Con-

should have been in view Of the condi>
ton Of the treasury, considering the
latter day tendency TO extravagar &c
and the fact that it had no restraint W dat
ever put apon it by the executive and
was urged 10 lavishnesS by the Republi-
6an Senate, made a record that is ad-
mirab'e compared to that Of the Reed
Congress.
However, we now have an executive
who is not afraid to say No aud it is en-
tEely safe 20 say that we Ia seen the
last Of billion dollar Congress- or some

Examined b5 the COMMITTEES ON Privii-
eyes ana Elections.
WASHINGTON, q. c., March 9.-Im-
mediately after the reading Of Mondays
journal the credentials of W. Leo Man
tie, appointed oy the Governor OF Mon
tana as Senator from that State in place
OF A. e. Sanders, were presented by
Mr.. Teller and read.
Mr.. Vance asked Mr.. Teller what was
proposed to be done with those creden-
Iials. Mr.. Teller replied that he
wished the credentials laid on the table
to be referred to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections when such
committee shall have been formed. He
did not propose TO ask the Senate to
take any action on them now, as he IN
derStood there were several other cred
entails OF like character to be pre-
Sented involving a question OF law
which would have to be decided.
Mr.. Vance-That is satisfactory to
this House. The credentials were,
therefore, laid on the table.
On the motion OF Mr.. Gray it was or
dered that when the Senate adjourn TO-
day il be TO meet on Monday next.
Mr. Mitchell introduced joint reso-
luton, TO amend the constitution so as
TO provide for the election OF United
States Senators by the votes OF the
qualified electors Of the States.
Mr. Henderson hoped that the reso-
luton would be allowed TO lie on the
table without any order as TO reference
TO a committee until it should be deter
mined whether at the extraordinary
session which was for executive pur-
poses any attempt would be made TO
perform legislative business.
Mr. Mitchell sand that he was willing
TO have that course taken.
Mr.. German said theNniiorm prac-
tice had been thai in executive session
matters of legislatiq% should not be in
PRODUCED. 1t was true that there had
been some exceptions to the rule.
Mr.. Sherman said that he had looked
into the precedents, and had found that
in nearly every called session running
back at least forty years. the Senate
had received petitions, resolutions and
other legislative matter, although usu-
ally it did not act upon them. Follow
ing the general precedents, he should
feel inclined not TO take up any matter
that could not be acted on definitely by
the Senate.
The Senate then proceeded to execu-
tive business, and after few minutes
adjourned Till Monday.

rNrLE JERRY,s PROPuECY.

Uncle JERRY RUsK in an article in
the North American ReUielC gives free
rein to his imagination regarding the
future Of the American farmer and a
beautiful picture is the result.
A hundred years hence he believes
there will be almost everywhere smooth
and well-kept roads, bOrdered with
handsome shade trees, available for
travel at all seasons; electric motors
will penetrate several miles into the
country from every town Of any i'm
portance; every farmhouse will be pro-
vided with a telephone, and there will
be a free delivery Of mail to every farm
house in the land; the rural population
viii vie with the urban in culture and
education, and men in the city will
have but one object in accommodating
wealth-that they may buy farm in
the country and settle down TO enjoy
their declining years.
It will be seen at once that Uncle
JERRY is Of the opinion that the Dem
ocracy will prevail for the next cen
tury.

MIR. ALDRIca's OPINION
As to the Power of the Secretary of the
Treasury TO Issue Bonds.

Treasury TO Issue Bonds.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 6.-Some
time ago when the question of the pow
er of the Secretary of the Treasury 10
use any part of the 500, 900, 900 gold
reserve was under consideration Solicit
tor General Aldrich was instructed by
the Attorney General to look up the
matter. Mr.. Aldrich's opinion in brief
is:
Frst-The Secretary Of the Treasury
has the continued power to issue bonds
to redeem the legal tenders OF 1862 ana
1863 and re-issued under the act OF May
81, 1878, but l am of the opinion that it
is not at all necessary.
Second There is no requirement in
the redemption of legal tender to be
made in gold. As 10 the policy OF using
silver, am not prepared 10 urge this
action. 1t might cause panic, but it
could undoubtedly be done.
Third-The Secretary OF the Treas
ury has 10 power to issue bonds not re-
deemable in gold or silver. The law
stipulates that they shall be redeemed
IN coin, which means either gold or
silver now and did so mean at the time
OF the passage of the law"
This opinion while asked and pre-
pared was not delivered, owing TO the
Tact that occasion did not demand it.
Mr.. Aldrich says: The belief that
there is no positive provision Of the law
requiring that 500, 600, 900, is in my
opinion correct. IL is also true under
the law, as l understand it, that all
legal tender notes may be redeemed in
cOiu.
This was the case at the period fixed
for the resumption of specie payments,
to-wit: January l, 1879, under the law
Of 1Ss'5

TREASURY IN BETTER SHAPE.
Considerable Gold Came in at Various
Points Yesterday

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 9.-The
Treasury to-day received gold at sew
eral points. In New York the gain
made in gold was 500. 600, while at
New Orleans it received $4,000 in gold
in exchange for like amount in silver
certificates. No intimation has yet
been received that any gold will oe ex-
ported on Saturday from New York,
and at the present rate OF exchange
it is not thought that any will
be taken out OF the country. The
Treasury has more tina So. 600, 600 in free
gold and, in the usual condition OF
trade, this is likely to be Increased rath-
er than diminished II was quite plain
ly intimated in the Treasury Depart
ment to-day that rs between the issue
Of bonds and the use of a portion Of the
500, 600, 600 gold reserve, if necessary
to maintain the parity Of gold and sill

latter plan, but that be does not antici-

The Naronic Now Twentysix Days Out
"maritime Regis ter still Has Faith

HMaritime Register" stlil Has Faith'
NEW YORK, March 9.-The Naronic
has been out 90 nays and has not been
spoken once, nor seen since she left the
Mersey early on the morning OF Feoru-
arv IL for this port, Her agents are
still hopeful that she may be heard
from. The Maritime Register has this
TO say editorially:
The non-arrival OF the White Star
steamer Naronc is causing much alarm.
although it is probable she will be heard
from either at Fayal, or in tow with
machinery damaged.% That she has not
been sighted proves nothing as against
either of these chances. Fayal is port
in the Azores about 800 miles west OF
St. Michael and there is not, it's said,
frequent communication batween the
two islands. st. Michael is a coaling
station and nearly all steamships out of
coal obtain fresh supplies there. 1t is
not possible that the Naronic may be
heard from at Fayal, but that she will
be sighted in tow seems to be unlikely.

TO Preserve the Parity.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Secretary
Carlisle this morning authorized the
announcement that he would exercise
all the power and discretion vested IN
him 20 uphold the credit of the govern
ment aud maintain the parity of gold
and silver. This statement was made
TO brush away the rumOrS that have
gained circulation about what he con-
templated doing as 10 maintaining the
gold reserve Intact, as TO the issuing
bonds or as TO paying United States
notes and United States treasury notes
In silver when the free gold was, eX-
hausted, etc. The example of Denver,
Colorado, in Offering $1,000, ZOO in gold
Yesterday for treasury notes, has been
followed by Chicago bankers who to-
day offered 100000 in gold for United
States notes. At the Treasury Depart
ment it is thought the bankers in other
cities will do likewise.
There is feeling of relief as to the
gold in the treasury and unless the ex-
ports of gold on Saturday are unusually
heavy, of which no information has yet
been received, the treasury will have
ample gold to supply the demand.
