Bowles. Rev. NJ. NJ. Benton ia an enthusiastic member of his com. mittee. He served in the confederate navy.

In 1861 confederate sailorp were still in the service of the United States, and the momentous decisios must be made whether to go home ta fight for their native states, or remoip where they were. Many sent in theii resignations, and yet had to fight in the United States service five monthQ after having done so.

SECRETARY CAGES STATEMENT.
The Secretary of the Treasury Explaines
 the Biii's Provisions.


 Washington, March 15.-Secretary Gage made the following statement in explanation of the provision of the financial bill which passed the house Tuesday:
 Fixes the Standard of Value.
 The financial bill which now awaits only the signature of the president to bee me law, has for it's first object what its title indicates, the fixing of the standard of value and the main taining at a parity with that standard of all forms of money issued or coined by the United States. It reai- firms that the unit of value is the dol lar, consisting of 25 S10 grains of gold, 9-10 fine; but from that point it goes on to make it the duty of the secre- tary of the treasury to maintain all forms of money issued or coined at a parity with the standard. It puts into the hands of the secretary ample power tc do that.
 Bureaus of Issue and Redemption.
 For that purpose the bill provides in the treasury bureaus of issue and re- demptIon, and transfers from the gen eral fund of the treasurys cash $150- 0O0,000 in gold coin and bullion to the redemption fund, that gold to be used for the redemption of United States notes and treasury notes. That fund is henceforth absolutely cut out of and separated from the cash balance in the treasury, and the available cash bal &nce will hereafter show a reduction Of Sl50,000,000 from the figures that have heretofore prevailed.
 This $50. 900 redemption fund is to be used for no other purpose than the redemption of the United States notes and treasury notes, and those notes so redeemed may be exchanged Tor gold in the general fund or with the public, so that the reserve fund is kept full with gold to the $50, 100000 limit.
 Secretary May Sell Bonds.
 The secretary is given further power. II redemptions go on so that the gold Tn this reserve fund is reduced below SiO0,00C,0 ,000, and he is unable to build It up to the $150.0O0,00O mark by ex- change for gold in the general fund or otherwise, he is given power to sell ponds. and it is made his duty to re- plenish the gold to the $150,O00,000 mark by such means.
 ''rhe Endless Chain" Broken.
 The endless chain" is broken by provision which prohibits the use of notes so redeemed to meet deficiencies Tn the current revenues. The act pro- Vides for the ultimate retirement of all the treasury notes issued in pay nent for silver bullion under the Sher- man act. As fast as that bullion is colned into silver dollars treasury notes are to be retired, and replaced with an equal amount of silver certifi- cates.
 May Issue Gold Certificates.
 The measure authorizes the issue of gold certificates in exchange for de- poslts of gold coin, the same as at present, but suspends that authority whenever and so long as the gold in the redemption fund is below $100,- Voo'uOo, and gives to the secretary the upton 10 suspend the issue of such ceruheates whenever the silver certiii- ea'es and United States notes in the general fund of the treasury exceed $60.O00,O0O
