OF his measure, aud said, by way of preface,
that he was reported in the papers rs being
willing TO strike out the last section of h's
BILL providing for the coinage of the bullion In
the Treasury purchased under the Sherman
law and remaining until coined. That state
ment was untrue. for he considered that the
most important feature of the measure.
The Secretary of the Treasury was of the
opinion that it would take about five years to
carry out this provision of the bill. Mr.. Bland
was surrounded by crowd OF members and
was repeatedly piled with questions. The
principal object of his BILL he said, WAS not TO
redeem the notes issued under the Sherman
law, but 10 coin the silver now remaining in
the Treasury. The proposed bill did not go as
far as the Sherman law, nor give the Secretary
of the Treasury such wide discretion.
Mr.. G. w. Stone. one Of the Republican MEM
bers on the Committee of Coinage, Weights and
Measures, who autagonized the bill. spoke mex t..
He went into legal description OF what con-
stituted seigniorage. holding that there could
be no seigniorage until all tie silver was con-
sumed. This view was Numerically opposed
to that held by Mr. Bland.

In the Senate, Mr. Sherman presented a me-

The resolution heretofore offered by Mr..

from the sale of bonds issued under that act
cannot be applied to any other purpose than
as specified in the resumption act, was laid
before the Senate. Mr.. Stewart modified the
resolution by adding to it the following clause:
"And in the opinion of the Senate there is no
present necessity for the sale of bonds for the
purpose specified in the resumption act"
Pending action the resolution went over.

Col E. T. Lee, Secretary of the Shiloh Battle

Committee, composed of Col. ID. b. Hender-
son, of Iowa; Gen. Joseph Wheeler. of Ala
bama and John c. Black, of Illinois; also the
Senate Committee, composed of Senators Isham
q. Harris OF Tennessee: John Sherman, of Ohio
and W. F. Villas, of Wisconsin.
The report covers the proceedings of the
association from its organ ization, and includes
the report Of the committee that visited the
battlefield and secured options on the land
which the association desire that the Govern
ment purchase for grand memorial park, and
the graves of the soldiers there be preserved
The association is meeting with great encour-
agement in their efforts. There is an universal
sentiment all over the country that this old
historic battlefield, where WAS fought the first
great open-fed battle III the West, should be
preserved. The old Army of the Tennessee
have none of their battlefelds preserved, and
they claim Shiloh.
Secretary Lee has received thousands of let
tiers from the old survivors from all parts of
the country urging that this battlefield be pre-
served, and hc has the names and postotfice
address of l. 900 of the survivors of that battle
Many of these will attend the Reunion on the
battlefield next April q and z, and assist the
association in marking the positions held by
their commands during the battle of the 9th
and 7th. 1862.
1t is requested that each command prepare
marker of some kind to place at these positions
1t has been suggested that for the present
one-inch board 10 by Is be painted white, with
letters and number Of regiment in black, to
nail to the trees until more permanent mark ers
can be placed there by the Government, the
States, or the various associations that took part
in the battle. All are invited to the Reunion
on next April aud to assist in this work.
