Bailey resolution questioning the auth0rI-
ty of the secretary of the treasury to Isl
sue bonds and apply the proceeds to the
current expenses of the government
comes before the house, there is not like
opposition from the minority 81 judiciary

There were four votes cast against the
resolution ia the committee by Represen-
tatives Layton of Ohio, St0ckdale of Mis-
sissippi and Wolvert0n of Pennsylvania,

pOrters of the resolution, that its Opp0-
nents did not care to Impeach IT as q
statement Of the law, but We're disposed
TO question its expediency. This view
was cOrrObOrated this morning by mem
bers Of the minority, but they did not
care to frame their position for quota

right OF the secretary to use the cash
paid in for bonds for other purposes than

part in defense of the secretary S

moneys in the treasury, whether the
receipt of bonds. or not, not expressly
appropriated for other purposes by acts
of congress, might be absorbed in the
regular disbursements. Representative

report, but he said today that he would

the whole neighborhood will know
something is going on. One Guinea
hen is worth dozen watch dogs.
