THE ARMENIAN RESOLUTIONS.
Subject of Discussion in Yesterdays
Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, ID: G., Jan. 81. The
meeting of the Cabinet to-day lasted
for about two and a half hours, and
it is believed that much of the time
was occupied in the discussion of the
eXpediency of acceding TO the request
Of Congress as set out in the concur
rent resolution relative to Armenian
affairs, and communicating with the
governments of Europe on the subject.
As the Secretary Of State declined to
say what course was decided upon, as
regards the resolution, it is surmised
that no decision has been actually
reached.
1t is known that some members of
the Cabinet are troubled with serious
doubts as to the advisability of meet
ing the request of Congress, and it
has been urged that by making the
representations desired in the interest
of these Armenian subjects of Turkey,
the State Department would deprive
it's arguments in favor Of the Monroe
doctrine, as set out in the note Of last
July, concerning Venezuela, of all
point, since it was based upon the adj
mission of the right of European pow
ers to regulate the affairs of Europe
free from our interference, as a cond-
tion for the free exercise by the United
States of similar right to control the
affairs of this Hemisphere, without
European interference. However, in
the shape it took the request of Con-
gress is in no way binding upon the
President, as it might have been had
it been embodied in joint resolution.

surplus of $4,000 600 in the Treasury.
there was no justification for another
tariff agitation. Mr.. Bate quoted the
assurances of the President and Sec
retary of the Treasury that the pres
ent financial embarrassments were not
due to a deficiency of revenue.
Mr.. Bate combatted the fiction of q
gold reserve. 1t had created a danger
signal' until corporations now placed
gold payments in their bonds. The
Senator referred to a recent loan by
a Norfolk, Va, corporation of 81 ,100,-
900 five per cent. forty-year bonds,
payable in gold" In conclusion. Mr..
Bate commended the pending silver
amendment as clearing away all clouds
of doubt and restoring silver to its SOY
ereign rights.
Mr.. Pasco Dem., Fla.), followed Mr..
Bate, in support of the silver amend
ment.
He said the great body of the Ameri-
can people are bi-metallists. and re-
ferred to the platform of all parties to
show that parties professions were for
both metals. The Senator reviewed
the many disadvantages of the present
mono-metallist policy, the increase of
the bonded debt, and the fluctuations
of prices. Mr.. .Pasco resented the charge
that silver legislation is in the inter
est Of the silver mine owners. The peo-
pie of Florida had no such pecuniary
interests. Their interests were such
as would accrue to the whole people.
The profit TO mine owners is merely
incidental. The Senator said his re-
turn to the Senate had been on a plat
form containing plank for 'unlimit-
ed silver coinage" and he expressed
the belief that a restoration of the
metal, establishment of bi-metallism,
would bring in its train business ac-
tivity and commercial prosperity.
At At o'clock Mr.. Pasco yielded for
the recess which had been agreed to
until 7:3O p. m.
When the Senate session was re
sumed at 1880 there were twelve Sena-
tors present, but this number gradu-
ally sWeIled to %, as the evening pro-
gressed. The galleries were well
filled Mr.. pasco concluded his speech
begun in the afternoon.
Mr. Caffery, of Louisiana, spoke in
opposition to the silver amendment,
and Mr.. White, of California, addressed
the Senate in support of the silver
amendment.

Greensboro, n. c., Jan. 81 tSpc-
cial)-Ten thousand patriotic people
greeted the Liberty Eell as it passed
through here to-day. The bell was
stationed under a huge evergreen arch
and for half an hour a steady stream
of humanity poured past it. The two
thousand school children and CGG col

cession.
Nearly all the children and young
ladies had flags and the scene was a
most stirring and patriotic one. \
thirty minutes stop was made here, af-
ter which large crowd accompanied
the bell out to the Guilford Battle

From the Southern the ear carry ing
the bell was transferred to the CT & Y.

TRANSACTEDROUTiNE BUSINESS
Most of the House Session Devoted to
District of Columbia Affairs.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The House to-
day confined itself to routine business.
Most of the session was devoted to the
District of Columbia Appropriation
bill. The regular attempt was made to
have all the expense of the District
government paid by the District, but
the motion made by Mr.. Dearmond
(Dem., MOI, to effect this was
ruled out on a point of order. The
District bill carries $5, ,417,960, 1858, ,423
less than the sum appropriated for
the current fiscal year.
1t was expected that 4. J. Rosenthal,
who contested Miles Crowley's seat
from the Tenth Texas, would address
the House to-day in support of his
claim, but he waived the privilege ac-
corded him, and the resolution of the
committee confirming Mr.. Crowley's
title to his seat was adopted.
Bills were passed to amend section
1855 of the revised statutes regarding
exemptions allowed distillers of fruit
brandies, so as TO extend the provis-
ions of that section to the distillers of
brandies from pears, pineapples, oran-
ges and berries; to authorize the Pres
ident to appoint John T. j. Ryan, John
u. Morris and Chester Wells, assistant
of the engineers in the Navy, and to ex-
change the time for holding district
and circuit courts in the Eastern Dis
trict of Tennessee.

monstration made in honor If the be-
loved old historic relic.

The decree has gone forth that it
shall never again leave the City Of
Brotherly Love, and realizing this
those cities through which the bell
was to pass prepared to meet it with
overwhelming oyations. The return
trip of the bell will be worthy trib-
ute TO its hallowed service in the days
OF the distant past. 1t will show that
there is in the South still a burning
patriotism and Jealous love for the
treasured relics of the great struggle
for freedom.
