The credentials of Senator Frye for
the new term beginning March 4th
next were presented and placed on file.
This will be Mr.. Frye's fourth term,
his first having been for two years to
ill the unexpired term of Mr.. Blaine
when he resigned to enter Mr.. Gar,
fields cabinet.
Mr.. PETER introduced a bill to re-
plenish the treasury and to provide an
abundant and safe currency, and ex-
planned its provisions which are, in
brief: Repeating all laws authorizing
the issue and sale of bonds; the prep
aration of 500, 100000 of legal tender
treasurynotes, to be used in paying
current expenditures reviving sections
8 and ii of the act of 1887 in regard to
silver coinage and for the payment Of
gold and silver coins from The Treas
ury in the proportion in which they are
held there. H. was referred to the fl
nance committee.
The consideration of the army ap-
preparation bill was resumed-the ques-
lion being as 10 the abandonment of
certain frontier posts-Mr. Mitchellis
amendment being provision that
nothing in the bill should be construed
as authorizing the abandonment of mill
tary posts at Vancouver and Walla
Walla.
Mr.. Cockrell, chairman of the com.
mittee on appropriations, accepted the
amendment and it was agreed to.
The bill was then passed.
Mr.. Hawley asked unanimous con-
sent to take up and pass the bill to re-
vive the grade of acknowledgement in
the army.
Mr.. Allen objected.
Mr.. Henderson appealed to his COL
league to withdraw the objection, so
far as to let the bill co ne before the
Senate for consideration. He said that
unless the bill was passed very soon,
the necessity for it would pass away, as
Gen. Scho6eld would be retired under
the law soon after the close of this
ST ssioD. Many Senators believed, he
added, that the proposed recognition
should be given to that efficient officer.
Mr.. Allen declined to withdraw his
objection, not on account Of hostility 10

disposition of the strikers about the
barns of the Atlantic avenue railway

unruly and attacked the police ard

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

The introduction OF a financial bill
by Senator Sherman yesterday has ex
cited the Indignation of democrats O
both houses of Congress. For several
days past it has been whispered that
the President was making a deal with
Senator Sherman to lead the republi.
cans to support such financial scheme
as the administration approved. Mean.
time the democratic senators framed q
bill and through Senator Jones, of the
Finance Committee, asked the endorse
ment of the President. Senator Jones
made three visits to the President, but
failed to procure his endorsement of the
proposed BILL The prospect of fuan-
cial legislation in the House has gone to
pieces. Yesterday Senator Sherman
introduced bill to provide for temper
ary financial relief. This action of the
Ohio Senator astounded the democrats.
They have reached the conclusion that
the President has finally appealed to
the republicans to afford the necessary
legislative relief. This has provoked
democratic ire all along the line in both
houses, and it can now be safely pre-
dicted that no financial legislation will
be passed.
Congress does not seem any nearer a
solution of the financial problem.
Chairman Springer, of the House COM
mittee on banking and currency, states
that new bill will be introduced next
week.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is.
State Department officials cannot
understand why Governor Evans o.
South Carolina should worry himself
over the fact that the Italian consul al
Charleston declines to mix himself in q
purely local affair beyond his jurisdic-
tion. An Italian bark in South Car.
nor, IA port is amenable to the local laws
and if liquor was sold from the bark in
violation of law, the remedy is wholly
in the hands of the local or State au-
thorities. A warrant for the arrest oil
any one on the bark does not need the
cpnsuls approval; in fact the consul's
Office is confined exclusive to CONNER,
cial matters and he would have exceed
ed his functions had he taken any part
in serving a warrant. Why there
should be any hesitation on the part OF
coDstables to arrest violators of the
dispensary law cannot be conceived
here. 1t does not appear that the con-
sui has protested against serving the
warrant on his countrymen, and until
he does, he can not be considered OBJ
noxious.

CoNGREssIoNAL.-As stated in the
GAZETTE of that date the pension bill
appropriating s141, 100000 was passed
in the Senate yesterday with two i'm
portant amendments, one making Sc
the lowest rate for pension disability
and another repeating the present law
cutting off the pensions of non-resi-
dents. In presenting report on a
pension bill, Mr.. Gallinger took occa-
sion to criticise severely the past utter
ances of Mr.. Cleveland as to the fraud
existing in the pension system. The
bill served as text for sharp criticism
against the administration of the pen
sion Office. The army appropriation
bill was considered, but not completed,
owing to spirited opposition to the
abandonment of army posts in the far
northwest.

Court Of Appeals Yesterday.

SOuTt
The new Court of Appeals handed
down its first batch of opinions yester-
day.
The most interesting decision was
that of James G. Field vs.. the county
of Albemarle. from the Circuit Court of
Albemarle. In this case General Field
alleges that in October, 1890, he permit
ted one Peyton and a force Of hands
who were engaged in working the
county roads to occupy his barn and
stable. That the buildings so used
were afterwards destroyed by fire
through the negligence of the county,
It's agents and servants. That his loss
from the fire amounted to Sl,lS7 and
this sum he prayed the Board of Super
visors to pay.
The court decided, Judge Keith de-
livering the opinion, that this case is on
all forms with case cited from Seth
Virginia, that of Fry VS.. county of AL
bemarle, in which Judge Lacy then
held: "That counties being political sub
divisions of the State cannot be sued
except in cases where by statute such
suits are allowed, as in cases growing
out of contracts with them, but not for
injuries resulting from the negligence
OF their officers or servants" The
judgment of the lower court is there
fore affirmed.
In the case of Blanton ct ais VS.. Com
monwealth of Virginia, from the Circuit
Court of Amelia, Judge Keith deliver
ed the opinion. The judgment of the
lower court is reversed and it is direct
ed that the notice by which the proceed
ing in the lower court was commenced
shall be dismissed. P. 3. Crowder was
treasurer of Amelia county and gave
bond with Blanton and several others
as surety. The Commonwealth brought
suit against the sureties to recover
something more than four thousand
dollars, the amount of taxes in default
by Crowder. The defendent bondsmen
held, however, that the bond was void
by reason of the fact that by some over
sight the name of one of the sureties
cited in the order of the court was not
signed to the bond. The Court of APP
peals sustains this view.
Other cases decided were as follows:
Cash VS.. Commonwealth from the
County Court of King George county.
Affirmed; Judge Cardwell delivering
opinion.
Campbell vs.. Commonwealth, from
the County Court of King George. AT
irmed; Judge Cardwell delivering opin-
ion.
Duliu VS.. Lilliard, sheriff, from Cir
cult court of Rappahannock county.

opinion.

ion.
