XLY. CONGRESS.

KEQUIiAR SESSION. SENATE. . WA8HJ5GT05, Jan. 20. J Darin the morning Mr. Beck called upa resolution submitted by him last week, declaring It unnecessary or Inexpedient 'to maintain or impose taxes at this time for the purpose of providing for the $37,196,015 01 asked for by the secretary ot the treasury for a sinking fund, and sppfce in favor of passing the resolution. Mr. Beck said he introduced the resolution for the purpose of obtaining the expression of the sense of the two bouses of congress upon what he consideredto be the most important question now before congress, and that was how could taxation best be reduced so as to relieve the people froru the oppression under which they labor, and at the same time meet the requirements of the government. He read from the late report of the secretary of the treasury, showing that there would be a deficiency at the end of the next fiscal year of $11,438,000 in the receipts of the government, as compared with ts expenditures upon the present basis; and continuing' his argument, Mr. Heck said his object was I .-atisfy the senate that congress was not trnijr obligations to maintain or impose taxes for the purchase of bond3fora sinking fund, lie thought he could show where $:W,000 000 could be saved from the customs service, internal revenue and the management of Indian affairs, but at present he wouM confine hiniselt to the sinking fund. He agrain quoted from the report cf the secretary of the treasury to "show that the sinking hind now contained $220,000,000 in excess of the amount required by law for that fund at the 1 present time. He argued that all pledges sand obligations of the government to ms-fce provision for a sinking fund had been practicallylcarried out; asked why should tViey be so anxious to pay the bonds in advance of our pledges and obligations. Our fcond3 were high enough now, the public creditors were not suffixing, neither waa their oecnrity diminishing. The property of the United States was increasing in value, and ihe public dbt was a mortgage upon the whole of it. The sinking fund was amply' provided for for at least five years to corns,' and it seems to him clear that it was the Hght and duty of congress now to reduce taxation. He next referred to the passage of tUe act of March 3, 1875, to further protect the sinking fund, and argued that if the same information had been before congress then in regard to the sinking fund as now, that act imposing the taxation it did would tiever have passed. He quoted from debates . on the bill, and sajd Mr. Dawes, who had charge ot the bill in the bouse of representatives, had been grossly deceived by the treasury officials. He (Reck) now lyid faith that the committee of the two houses of congress would reduce the taxation in the in'erestof the people; all that any country could do and that this country bad done was to apply its surplus revenues to the payment of its debts Messrs. Morrill and Rawes gave notice that they would have something to say about this resolution hereafter. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Beck's remarks the resolution was laid over and consideration resumed of unfinished business, being the silver mil, and Mr. Wallace spoke in . favor thereof. Mr. Wallace said: "Gold can not be subdivided to suit the necessities of the people, whilst gold and silver is just to all classes. Our policy as a people has initiated and maintained a double standard. The constitution and laws up to 1873 recognize and enforce this policy. The demonetization of silver by tbe I nitea States leads to it total disuse. The total disuse of silver as money reduces the measure of values, and increases th value of the money indebtedness. It will destroy its use as subsidiary coinage. It will give the world a scanty, instead of a full, circulating hie dium of intrinsic value. Tbe use of both metals j?ies a healthy progress and basis for confidence, value to currency in paper and a just measure of value. The use of but one strikes out of existence a lare part of the world's capital as a measure of value, and is prejudicial to progress of civnuition. mere is no foundation, either in the morals or in law, for enhancing tbe value of the debt, and it is neither lust nor ex pedient to do so. and exercise of power to adopt a gold standard awakens distrust .among the people, and lends di rectly to weaken the binding ob ligations ot public faith. Are my brethen on this side of the chamber deter mined to drive us, as an organization, into the vortex of unlimited paper inflation? w e do not want this in Pennsylvania, and we pray to be relieved from the inexorable fate to which your policy condemns us. Why is n mai we can not meet upon a -common ground of constitutional money of gold and suver: Are loose wno live east of the susouehanna so wedded to the policy of En land in a single standard that no unity of action is possioier is mere any saler ground for tbe best interest of the whole people for debtor and creditor, for the bondholder and tax-payer than a restoration of our ancient policy of constitutional money of gold and silver? If we return to a double standard how shall we regulate the value of " our coin? Shall we reduce the value of the gold dollar by decreasing its weight? This irecauuui uu wuuoui violating our contract made in 1870. Shall we increase the value of the silver dollar by adding to its weight, measuring silver bullion in gold coin to-day? This would be unjust to the people, . for it allows nothing for an increase in the value of; bullion resulting from its us and its legal tender function as money. If this be done and silver regains its place, it will fly from the country because overvalued. Shall a dollar of 412 grains be recoined? What ts ile status under the law? Will the demand for silver consequent on its recoinae under this bill and debt paving power conferred upon it appreciate its value, and to what extent? This bill is not the Bland bill. ' The free coinage feature is struck out. The government buys its own bullion monthy, not less than two nor more than four millions per month. The difference between the bullion and coin belongs to the government. This gives a regular monthly demand for bullion and will increase its value. Tbe law of demand and of supply applies to gold and silver bullion. Lrssen he demand and the prices Jecreae; increase the demand and the prices rise. Our demand for coinage must increase the value of bullion as a commodity. It is this law tnat has depreciated silver and appreciated gold. The legal tender function or the debt paying power adds to tbe value of coin. It is tnis that gives power and value to a paper legal tender. It is argued that the tue of gold in equity compels us to return to some metal practically. Notes and bonds were exchanged for bonds: srold or coin was rarely paid. The creditor who gave us gold took his option and paid in a cheaper metal. Before 1873 gold was cheaper; silver up to 15. J was above par. they baa an option In . payment and we gave them an obligation reserving our option to pay. An equity can not rise, if it must base itself upon a violation of the exprees contract On the face of the contract was the express contract to pay in either metaL Those who

bought since 1873 are on no higher ground.

The law gave no one the right to waive our option, but the very reverse. Tbe bond bought in J 875 expressed the contract in plain terms. Full notice was given. ro estop pel can arise on such a state of facts. If this doctrine is sound an equity repeals constitutional power to regulate the value of our coin; policy or expediency gives it no hieher standard; our first duty is to be just This does not Include a sacrifice of " . -.. .a. V a. the means of tbe people to pay a ciaim mat has no foundation in love or morals. Are we morally bound to so shape legislation as to increase the value of a commodity we need to pay our debt j?" . nfrrintr in the act of 1873 demonetizing silver Mr. Wallace argued that it was passed in a secret manner and in the dark, and the duty of congress now was to repeal it. Mr. Bayard said he aid not propose now to give any extended expression of bis views on tbe reraoneiizauon oi suver. no was not in favor of abolishicg silver as the com of the country. Should it be in his power without disturbance to the business ana credit of the country to restore silver as money the effort would not be wanting on his part, lie argued that this silver bill, in substance, proposed . that two fuen should approach the mint, one with silver and the other with gold, and that the government should stamp silverand raise it ten per cent, in value, and at the same time stamp gold but raise it nothing in value, lie couia noi sunport such a measure. . . . . , 1 A ? Mr. Gordon presented ine resolutions ui a public meeting held at Home, Ga., in favor of the remonetization of silver and the repeal of the specie resumption act. itsferrtd. Mr. Cameron of "Wisconsin submitted an amendment to the silver bill so as to provide that a dollar shall consist of 420 grains stan dard silver instead of 412 grains. Ordered printed. Mr. Burnside submitted an'amendment to the clause declaring that the said dollar shall be a legal tender for all debts public and private, so aa to provide that it' shall be legal tender for all debts public and private amounting to sums over $ouu. uraerea printed. Mr. Christiancy then took the floor to speak upon the silver bill, but yielded to Mr. Hamlin, on whose motion me senaiewent into executive session, and when the doors were reopened adjourned. WASHixoToif, Jan. 30. Mr. Voorhees submitted a resolution re questing the president, if not incompatible with the public interest, to transmit to me senate a statement as to bow many acres of land in the Indian territory have been surveyed into sections and quarter sections. for what purpose the saia survey has been made, and how much land remains in said territory not surveyed. Also, what amount of lands were owned by the several tribes of Indians previous to the treaties of I860, and whether the Indian title to any such land has been relinquished since the said treaties were made, and if so to what extent and for what consideration. Agreed to. A favorable report was made on the senate bill appropriating $275,000 to purchase the Freediuen's bank building in this city. Mr. Windom, chairman on appropriations, stated that the clerical force of tbe surgeon general's office in 1376 was 1C0, and it was then cut down in the general reduction that year to 135. Last year, however, the force was increased by detailng twenty enlisted men for duty in that office. Tending tbe discussion the morning hour expired, and consideration was resumed of unfinished business, it being the silver bill. Mr. Christiancy submitted an amendment in the nature of a substitute providing for the coinage of silver dollars of 434 grains, nine-tenths pure silver and one-tenth alloy, which shall be a legal tender for all debts, except when otherwise provided by law or contract. It also authorizes tbe secretary of the treasury to purchase monthly not less than $2,000.00 worth of silver bullion to be coined. It further provides that the amount shall remain in force but one year. Any gain arising from such purchase and coinage-shall be accounted for and paid into the treasury as provided under the existing laws relative to subsidiary coinage, provided that the amount of money at any one time invested in such silver exclusive of such resulting coin shall not exceed $5,000,000. Ordered p inted. Mr. Christiancy then spoke in regard to his amendment. Mr. Christiancy 'read a lengthy argument in support of his substitute, and said that he was not opposed to the introduction of silver coin into our currency, neither was he opposed to making it a legal tender so as to be just to both creditor and debtor, but be did not want to have tbe recoinage of silver so that it would repel other coin from the country. lie could not approve of tbe remonetization of silver in homeopathic doses of 412)4 grains, but was willing to have it in allopathic doses of 431 grains. Tbe question as to what amount of silver should be put in a dollar to make it equal in value to a gold dollar, to fix the standard of a silver dollar at 41214 grains, worth but 91 cents, would be grossly unjust. The passage of the bill now before the. senate was. in plain English, debasing our coin, and all such expedients had, by a verdict of history, debased the debaser more than tbe coin. Mr. Allison gave notice that he would in sist upon a disposition pf this bill to-morrow or next day. Mr. Saulsbury said the bill was one of greatest importance, and he was in harmony with its rcneral features. There were several senators, however, who desired to discuss it,v and be was not willing that it should be pressed to a vote without the fullest discus sion. The senate then went into executive session, and when the doors were opened adjournea. Washixoto, Jan. 31. W hen the question postponing the silver bill was being discussed Mr. Oglesby said the public feeling was as much aroused on this question of the remonetization of silver as it had been on any question since he had been in the senate, and tbe people were growing impatient at the apparent studied delay in disposiyg of it. The American people bad been for more than three lears in despair, roverty had been on every hilltop an over tne country smiling at their distress. Congress had given expression to no plan that could be considered an honest attempt at relief. The time had come when congress could say, and ought to say, what in its judgment should be done in regard to the silver question. Nothing could be ' gained by postponing further consideration . of this bill until Monday. No new arguments could be Croduced. Some senator might prepare imself to speak more intelligently, but no light could be given. He was opposed to any delay. At the expiration of the morning hour consideration was resumed of the silver bill. ' Mr. Morgan submitted an amendment to allow free coinage of silver by permitting any hoMer of bullion to deposit it in any say office or mint in sums of not less than $100 in a single deposit nor to exceed $10J, 000 during a calendar month by same depositor; bullion to be valued at its market price for legal tenders at the date of deposit; certificates to be given to the owner, to be paid by the secretary Of the treasury In not less than 30 nor more than 90 days, in legal tender notes or silver dollars, at the option

of tbe government After one year the coinage silver to be on the same footing in all

respects with the coinage of gold. Ordered printed. Mr. liootn submitted an amenameni to allow tbe owner of silver dollars to deposit them with the treasurer or any assistant treasurer of the United States, and receive certificates of not less than $10 each, the cer tificates to be engraved as money and to cir culate in place of silver. The design is to obviate the inconvenience of silver in com mercial transactions. Ordered printed. After some discussion on the motion of Mr. Bayard, further consideration of tbe silver bill was postponed until Monday next, with the understanding that debate should then be resumed and continued from day to day until a vote shall be reached. The senate then adjourned until Monday. house. . ' Washixgtojc, Jan. 20. Mr. Hayes introduced a bill prohibiting any further destruction of legal tender notes, and making such notes a legal tender for custom duties. Referred. The house went into a committee of the whole to consider the bill extending the time for the withdrawal of distilled spirits now in bond until July 1, 1S78. . Mr. Butler's amendment, providing that when spirits are withdrawn from bond the tax shall be collected at tbe rate required by law and from the time of its entry into bond, was adopted by 108, against . Mr. Davis, of North Carolina, introduced a bill repealing section 4,716 of the revised statutes, forbidding tbe payment of pensions to any person, or to widow, children or heirs of any deceased person who in any manner voluntarily engaged in or aided or abetted the late rebellion. Mr. Foster's substitute for the original proposition, declaring a reduction of the tax on whisky as inexpedient, was adopted by a votrl34 tol)5. The house sustained the action of the com mittee in adopting the substitute by a vote of yeas 14G, nays 112, and the title was changed accordingly. Adjourned. Wells Still at JLarge Tbe Anderson Trial T1i Cam for Contempt. New Obleass. Jan. 29. The hiding place of Wells has not yet been discovered. An derson's case is progressing. In regard to the case for contempt against United States Commissioner Lane, Deputy Collector Tomlinson and Deputy Marshals Wnrzburger and Steele, on motion it was ordered that this matter should go over until after tbe termination of the Anderson case. At 8:15 p. m. the last jurorwas impanelled when the jury was locked up for the night, Anderson was remanded to the pariah prison, and tbe court adjourned until to-morrow. The jury is composed of ten. white and two colored men. The colored men are young, and comparatively intelligent mulattos, who stated that they bad never taken any part in politics. A bill of exceptions was taken by the defense, when Judge Whi taker excused a colored bricklayer from the jury duty, whom the defense would have accepted . as a juryman. There were also a number of bills of exception taken to the court s ruling in cases where jurors had sf a '.ed that they had an opinion formed which would require considerable testimony, to remove, but on being ques tioned by the court stated, that they could go on and try the case impartially, notwithstanding previously formed opinion. In case of a conviction the case will go to the supreme court on a-large number of exceptions.! (The following jurors were impanelled: O. M. Bailey, Jr., J. K. Bayly, N. E. Bailey, E. W. Herrick, John K. Renaud, W. II. Converse, Jr., II. Dumestre, Conway Boyle, Jeremiah Lincoln, James Prince (colored,) L. L. Montraiser (colored,) Richard Murphy. When the state during the empanelling of the jury had exhausted its six peremptory challenges the defense had three left, having only used ten. In the company of Sheriff Hudson, General And?rson, special deputy collector of customs, visited the custom house to day. He is treated courteously by his prison keepers. New Oreeans, Jan. 30 The trial of Anderson was resumed this morning and the court room was tilled with spectators. At 11 o'clock the jury entered the court room and occupied their seats. The clerk read the information against the prisoner, to which he had pleaded not guilty. The first witness, W. H. Smart, being sworn for the state, said: I am clerk of the district court of Vernon parish. I "was deputy clerk before. The document shown me contains my official signature. It is the election return Mr. Ity objected as the document the latter speaks of was the original returns of the election, signed by tbe supervisor of election and registration, when the docu ment otlered Is a consolidated -tatementof the returns, and under the law there is no such officer known as the supervisor of election and registration. Mr. Kay ottered an additional objection that the document must have been signed by the clerk of the court instead of by deputy clerk, and that as they are charged with uttering a forged document forgery must first be proven before uttering. The assistant attorney general contended that he did not purport to set out a fac simile of the documents presented. The law does not require a document to be described accurately. It was certified to by the clerk; that was sufficient. Mr. Castelleanos said that the objection was not as to 'the form, but is to the sub stance of the information. Judge Whl taker said the objection was purely techenical. The information could be amended under the statutes. Mr. Castellanos read a bill of exceptions. He said he had been referred to section 1,047 of the revised statutis by the attorney general as to the amendment of the information in the forging. Like some other crimes there were well settled rules. A variance between the indictment and the offense was always fatal: also the omission of any words. The document alleged to be forged is defective, if cot in form, in substance. The indictment is null and void Attorney general Agden replied that the court was right in the position-it took originally. He had propose dimder the statutes to amend tbe indictment. The rights of the defense would not suffer by it .Tbe matter was to be decided by tbe sound discretion of the court Assistant Attorney General Ean support d the allegations made in the information. He said the amendment's variance was not material, Mr. Castellanos objected to the amending of the information which, however, was overruled and the district attorney amended the information by inserting the words "supervisor of registration" instead of ''supervisor of election." At the evening session Thomas Franklin, supervisor of registration of Vernon parish, testified: After identifying tbe returns shown him, to the alterations made after he had signed them, that only at poll No. 8 were any republican votes cast, and there only two for Souse, of the Hayes electors, several of them receiving none at all. Looking over the returns from poll No. 2, the votes were altered in giving each Hayes elector 97 votes, while they had received none at the poll The number 931 votes were given the Hayes electors, while tbe j had re caved none. .This after he had signed the returns consolidated the return of all tbe votes cast in the parish. Wuere tbe republicans had received two Totes,

178 were given to Kellogg, Beech and Joseph, and 180 to Marks, Sheldon, Jefferson, Brewster and Levisse. The democratic electors had received C17 votes, which was altered to 4C9. The question of returns for other officials had been altered was opposed by the defense as tbe charge was only as to the electors for president 'and vice president Tbe objection was overruled and a bill of exception taken. At 9 o'clock the court adjourned until to-morrow when the witness will be called again. No news of ex- Governor Wells. New Orleaks, Jan. 31 Attorney General Ogden and Assistant Attorney General Egan appeared for the state in the trial of Anderson to-day. and John Ray, H. C. Castellanos and E. North Cullom tor the defense. Mr. Franklin, supervisor of registration for Vernon parish, was recalled, and said that all otlier alterations on the consolidated statements, besides those relative to tbe presidential electors, were at poll 2 and pll 9. All votes cast at poll 2 were for the constitutional amendments, and none against them. .The returns produced in court showed OS votes against tbe amendments at poll 9. As- to the amendments, a similar change of 81 votes is taade, when the entire vote there was for tbe amendments. Franklin testified that the returns he forwarded showed that Elam, for congress, and Nicholls and tbe other conservative candidates for state offices, received the entire vote cast at poll 2, while the return in court shows 97 votes for the republican candidates for the same offices at that poll. He said the record had been changed in the second and ninth polls, and the total amount of votes cast The totals for the electors have been changed as follows: The democratic electors received G47 votes; the republican total wa3 2. Also for member of congress, Elam G40, and 1 for Smith. These figures have been changed. . By Mr. Castellanos: The information charges that 391 votes were deducted from the Tilden electors. You have the consolidated returns. Will you please explain how this Is?

A. I really can't say. Cross examined by Mr. Ray I complied with all the requirements of tbe law mi that election. I appointed the commissioner of election. There were .10 polling places in that parish. There waa a list returned to me of all the votes, tolly sheet, and state ment showing the votes cast for each candidate. Being asked whether he had observed the act of 1S75 in appointing the commissioners, he asked counsel to read the law to him. After being read, he answered: Yes; I did not comply with the law in appointing representatives from the different political parties because there were none. I am satisfied there were 60 or 70 registered colored voters in this parish. I don't think there were more. Amongst that number I could not find ten. I did not appoint any republican or colored commissioner of election. There were two republican votes cast- It was the second day alter the election that I made out the consolidated returns. I was assisted by two of the commissioner?. My assistants did the writing, and I signed it after it was revised by me. I don't think I compared it with the tally sheets before mailing. I did not mall it from the seat of Vernon parish, but thought it safe to mail it from Alexandria. I inclosed the statement with the returns which 1 mailed to the board of returning officers. Senator Texada was present at the time it was mailed. I forwarded the returning board two consolidated returns. The other was sent through Senator Texada by hand, and they corresponded. A statement accompanied this return niaae by me of ten votes cast at poll No. 1. There was no protest tJ the election whatever. I did not comply with the law in sending tally sheets with the returns. When I arrived at Alexandria I found that I had not undentood the law. I then copied off the tally sheets and sent them with a duplicate of the returns by Mr. Texada. From my construction of the law I thought it advisable to send tbe duplicate and statements by Mr. Texada, and not by mail, because I deemed it the safest way to send them. Hon. T. L. Texada, called by the state, testified on the document being shown This looks like the document I first saw at my house in the parish of Rapides. The figures are not the same. I saw this document sealed up and put 'in the post office at Alexandria. Ine change is figures !7, which were blanks, as also figures 91 to Hayes' electors, and I see 17S for Peter Joseph, when it should be. 2. As to the democratic electors, so far as I remember, the Tilden electors were marked 61 t votes. Tbe only alterations are at polls 2 and 9. A sealed package was delivered to him by the mail carrier, steting that it was a copy of the consolidated returns and tally sheets. I brought them to the citv and handed them to Major E. A Burke, who sent them to tbe secretary of. state's office. J. B. M. Clyhee, clerk of supervisor of registration of Vernon parish, and John Franklin, Jr., son ot" the supervisar, corroborated the statements of the latter regarding the alterations in the returns from po.ls 2 and 9 and the total returns. Secretary of State Will A. Strong produced the tabulated returns of Vernon parish and of the state, signed by tbe accused (Anderson), which contain the forged figures. Dr. Isaac L. Crawerns, a prominent physician, and Mr. John Douglas, ah engraver, as experts, explained the alterations and the clumsy manner in which the same, and also erasures, were done to the jury. Major E A. Btirke and Mr. Frank McGiven, of the democratic committee appointed to be present at the canvass of votes by the returning board, were examined at length in regard to the manner in which tbe returns were opened. Major Burke stated tnat the democratic counsel were often excluded, while Mr. John Ray, of the republican counsel, was even permitted to be present at the secret sessions. Tbe returns from what was called tbe bulk of the heavy republican parishes were opened in the executive sessions, where the democratic counsel could not be present only when the statesmen from tbe north, who came here at tbe request of President Grant, and the reporters were admitted. Major Burke testified also to tbe safe deliverv of the package of returns from Vernon parish by Senator Texada to him. and through him to the secretary of state, and says he saw the unopened package in the office of Mr. Abel, secretary of the returning board. The package sent from Vernon by mail was opened In the presence of the democratic "counsel, and did not contain the tally sheets. He called the attention of the board to the other package in the possession of the secretary of state, and it was sent for. He also testified to the refusal of the board to fill a vacancy according to the law from ' the ranks of the democratic party, but could not swear that Anderson was present when the refusal waa made by Wells, Mr. McGloin, from notes taken during the canvass of tbe board, stated that Anderson was almost always present Andeison especially opposed the motion of the democratic counsel to have their returns compared with the returns received by the board. The main business was done in secret session, and that at tbe general count nobody could get admittance. McGloin will be called again tomorrow. Kenner was released yesterday dh $5,000 bail, given by Judge Thomas McCormick. Nothing new of Wells.

I was sorely afflicted with one of the mot distressing of all diseases, Pruritus or Prurigo, or more commonly known as Itching Pils." The Itching at times was almost intolerable, Increased by scratching, and not unfrequently became quite sore.
