SENATOR GRAY, of Delaware, now in

the returns begin to come in from the
cotton and wheat crop the demand for
gold will stop, but that congressional
legislation will be necessary before
there is any permanent relief. 81 do
not, says he, "yiew the situation as o
partisan, but think now as | did before
this administration was inaugurated,
that the evil must be corrected by the
divorce of the government from the
banking business, and tie reformation
of the policy established by the law of
1873, by which the government was
compelled to keep pile of gold from
which everybody was invited who had
greenbacks or treasury notes to helr
himself. The Sherman redemption acI
was no redemption at all. While il
provided for the redemption of the
greenbacks, it compelled their reissue
thus putting in operation the endless
chain, as it has been called. Until this
is suppressed there can be no perma
nent relief. The greenbacks have go
to be redeemed. 1t has been apparen
for years, but unwise Legislation wa
leading up to it, and it has got to b,
wiped out from the statute book to pu

KNOCKED OUT.
JUDGE SCOTT SETS IT ASIDE
Aud Declares II Is Not Binding-The Law
Has rBeen In Force for Two Years
But IL Now IL toYerative--It Was
Improperly Passed, says
Judge scott In Court
At Tecumseh.

In the district court at Tecumseh
yesterday Judge Scott decided that the
wrightsman gambling bill was i'm.
properly passed and imperative. The
statutes and the rules Of the House re
quired that the bill must be read by
sections and referred to the committed
OF the whole before passage and these
requirements could only be suspended
by two-third vote. The record show:
that the bill was not so read
nor referred TO the committ'
of the whole, but the
House tried to suspend the rules and
law by two-thirdss vote, but that
eight voted against suspension aud tf'
teen for IL, but that it required six
teen to suspend the rules by two
thirds vote.
The bill being imperative, the old
chapter on gambling in the 80 stat
utes not having been properly repeal
ed, is still in force.
