tive session after an agreement had
been effected postponing his speech

In executive session Senator Hill
opened the fight against the confirma-
tion of Hornblower for associate justice
of the supreme court, speaking in be-
half of the majority report of the ju-
dietary committee. He spoke in a
moderate manner, basing his opposi-
tion and tho opposition of the commit
toe on thu legal qualifications OF Horn
blower.

speech Senator Villas, of Wisconsin,, the
only Democratic member of the judici-
ary committee who supported Mr..
Hornblower in the committee room,

his profession to entitle him to such dis
tinction.

throughout theafternoon, Hornblower's

of six.

When my annual report was pre-

sd p ply such deficiencies as might occur
IN the revenues. The estimate then
made was based upon the assumption
fhat the worst effects of our financial
disturbances had already been realized,
and that there would be substantial
tincrease in the revenues for the re-
smainder of the year. While it is not
believed that the deficiency then ac-
inallv existing would be supplied by
Increased revenues in the future. it was
hoped that no additional deficiency
Mould occur but the receipts and ex-
fpenditures during the month of Decem-

Authority to issue and sell bonds for
the purpose of maintaining specie pay
ments was expressly conferred upon the
secretary OF the treasury by the act
OF January IA, 1875, but it has not
been exercised since 1879, aud on ac-
count of the high rate OF interest
provided for, and the length of time,
such. bonds would have to run,SI have
not been satisfied that auch an emer-

clearly justify their issue. But the ne

government, is SO problematical that,
unless authority to issue and sell
shorter bonds, or other obligations,
bearing q lower rate of interest than
that specified in the existing law is
granted by Congress at very early
day, I shall feel constrained by sense
of public duty to exercise the power al

OF providing an adequate coin preserve.
If this action should be taken, Congress

Yours very respectfully,
J. G. CARLISLE,
Secretary.
Section 3,7O1 OF the revised statutes
provides that Cali stocks, bonds, treas
ury notes, and other obligations of the
United States, shall be exempt from
taxation by or under state or municipal
or local authority"
On account of this general statute, it
was not proposed in the bill which the
secretary of the treasury laid before
the senate finance committee in the
early part of last week to make any pro-
vision concerning the taxation OF the.
bonds, which he is asking Congress to
authorize him to issue.
The house of representatives., by a
rule adopted some time ago, has dedi-
Gated all its time until the Goth of the
present month, to consideration OF the
Wilson tariff bill, and therefore, it
would have been impossible for this
reason Secretary Carlisle, thought it
necessary to make the application, first
to the committee on finance OF the sem
ate, which he hopes will act upon the
measure in time to provide the neces-
sary means for the governments.
