'I lie Dreaded Commune.
Recent developments made through
the medium of a New York detective
agency, in reference to an organization
styled the "Knights of Labor," are
causing the press in several portions of
the country to put the question, Have
we a Commune? It is claimed that if
we have not a commune, we have the
material out of which the most approved
communists are made. If the detectivea
are right, this element is neither
discordant nor unorganized, but com-
pact, oath bound, and under desperate
leaders. The Pittsburg Post, which
knows whereof it speaks from the les-
son of last summer, asserts that there
they have had some taste of the effects
of the teachings of the communistic
body, which diy by day reveals
that Pittsburg was but one of a
number of prints whure an explosion
was arranged. " Sj secreil/ was the
uprising managed," says the Post, " so
sudden and overwhelming the shoek,
that it was difficult to make the public
understand that it did not originate
from locil causes. We are firmly per-
suaded that it will not bs long before a
state of things will be unfol led which
will startle the public ear and
cause uneasiness to the state itself,
which is bound to protect its cif:zens
against these lawless and formidable
invasions, that m&y require the efforts
of the regular army to control but can
not prevent." There may be some-
thing in all this attributable to an ex-
cess of alarm, yet that the apprehen-
sions expressed are not absolutely
groundless there are many good rea-
sons for balieving.
The coming week will close the par
liamentary Easter recess, and with the
reassembling of that body may be ex
pected some explanation at least of the
movements of the past fortnight, the
drift of which woull indicate that war
was an imminent possibility The per-
sistent activity in the English navy
yards, the movement of troops from
India, and the filling up of the native
reserve corps to a war standard, are
steps in the direction cI a tenacious
purpose. The British government has
evidently calculated that an eventual
struggle with Russia over affairs in the
East is a certainty, and that the present
is the opportune moment in which to
make the issue. In the pursuance of
ordinary Russian policy, fifteen or
twenty years hence would leave the
wager of battle much more in her fa
vor than at the present crisis, and Eng-
land realizes the situation. Just how a
conflict is to be avoided it is hard to
conceive. England means fight if she
ever did in her history, and Russia is
apparently not disposed to retrace her
steps. The intermediate powers are
each looking to their interests, diplo-
macy is futile in arranging the means
of escape, and the sword seems to be
the only factor left from which to force
a decision. The intricacies of the East-
ern problem are each day more and
more complicated—the way out will be
known as hi-story makes itself.

[Special Telegram to the News.]
Brownsville, April 27.—Last night
a party of eight or ten of the adher-
ents of Lerdo left here. Their destina-
tion is said to be Banco rancho, about
fifteen miles above this city, where it is
represented there is a force of 200
awaiting an opportunity to cross into
Mexico. People in Matamoros are
daily expecting to hear that the revo-
lutionists have crossed and taken pos-
session of the roads leading to that
city, and levying tribute on all goods
coming from here under the name of
customhouse duties, this being always
the first step taken by revolutionists.
All reports seem to indicate an early
move by the Lerdists as it is reported
that an engagement took place between
a party of Lerdists and Mexican regu-
lar troops at Rancho Capote, in which
eight persons were killed. This lacks
confirmation.
Lawyer Trevino, prominent politi-
cian, who wa3 one of the party of con-
spirators arrested in Matamoros several
mouths ago, and who was released and
subsequeatly re arrested and confined
at Mier, Mexico, has bfcen set at liberty
on swearing allegiance to the Diaz gov-
ernment, and has returned to his family
in this city.
Don Manuel Trevino has been ap-
pointed by President Diaz Mexican
consul at Brownsville.
Great preparations are being made
for tha annual Mayday picnic by the
Catholic and Protestant Sunday schools
of this city.
Begin May 10th—
the Court ot Ap-
Sir Samuei, Ba.ker, in the event of
war between Russia and England,
points to a possibility that must be any-
thing but comforting to the British
government. In a letter to the London
Times, treating of the subject of Eng-
lish breadstuff j supply, he says that it
should not 1)3 forgotten that America
has reserved her freedom of action;
that in case of war Russia would issue
letters of marque to American adven-
turers, and a swariu of Alabamas may
interrupt the commerce of England.
Such a possible complication would be
fertile in disputes between England
and the United States, and in the event
of an open rupture, Great Britain
would be cut off from the Ameri-
can granary. The position of Eng-
land would be serious, as she
would mainly depend 'for her corn
supply upon the markets of India and
Australia, unless Egypt could be per-
suaded to exchange her cotton cultiva-
tion for that of wheat. "Famine prices
of cereals," says Sir Samuel, " would
raise the cost of bread to a rate
utterly ruinous to the poor, and
a commercial shock of tcij in-
tensity would be a startling response
to tha question of British interests."
It is apparent that Sir Samuel Baker is
on the other side of the fence from his
redoubtable brother, the Pasha of that
name. Bat there will be many serious
problems to study should war really
break out between the two great
powers.
The N<-'w York Commercial and
Financial Chronicle, in sneaking of the
measures on foot to procure a congres-
sional subsidy for the Texas and Pacific
railroad, says:
Texas will be opened up to a certain extent;
but tuat must come soon auyway, for ic Is a
state growing so ripiily, its own development
forces railroad growth; and besides she is
sure ro get it in a better form by another cor-
poration, as we shall soon see, without the
giving away of public credit and without the
sacrifice of any principle. Aside from the
western half of Texas no new road will be
opened in any state under the auspices of the
Tex^sand Pveil!,', except as miy be necessa-
ry t > m*ke an air line to the Pennsylvania or-
ganization of roads; acd when St. Louis
spends its money in manufacturing public
opinion by public meetings in favor of Mr.
Scott's little scheme, unless her people get
some of rhe bonds, they are spending their
money for that which profl eth not. He will
no m • e dir-ot his enterprise to St. Louis than
he will to New Orleans or Galveston.
AUSIIN,
Quarantine
JUeclsious
peals.
[Special Telegram to the News.]
Austin, April 27.—The governor of-
fered a reward of $500 for the arrest
and conviction of each of the murder-
ers of Dr. Grayson and wife.
A proclamation establishing quaran-
tine May lOrh has been made. The
quarantine commences a month earlier
than last year, because the governor
ha3 been solicited to take that precau-
tion by those who believe there is
greater danger now than at this time
last year, and they submit facts to sup-
port their views.
The Court of Appeals rendered the
following decisions to-day:
Sansbury vs. the Siate, Travis; reversed and
remanded,

firmed.

firmed on certificate.

certificate.

firmed on certificate
Whiteman vs. Muller, Dallas; affirmed on
certificate.
Cockrum vs. McCracken, Guadalupe; af-
firmed.
Christopher Kraupe vs the State; affirmed.
Ssvancoat vs. the State; affirmed.
There is some local interest in the
last named case. Swancoat, who had
been assisting at the ministrations at
one of our churches, and was propos-
ing to become or had become a clergy-
man, married m this city, although lie
had a living wife in Maryland, from
whom he had no divorce. This fact
was not known here, but his Maryland
wife came on and he was prosecuted
for bigamy and adultery. The former
charge was disposed of by statute of
limitation, but he was fined $750 for
adultery and appealed the case with the
result stated.
The Court of Appeals recognized
Wash Jones's greenback party to day,
in tfce first case above reported. Judge
White, delivering the opinion upon the
question whether greenbacks are money
or property under the statute, says
they are considered of such value that
quite a respectable party of our fellow-
citizens are urgently insiUing and de-
manding that the "quantity in circula-
tion be largely increased as affording
the best and safest method of relieving
the finances and protecting the grow-
ing industries of the country.
A Washington dispatch of the 22d
says that in consequence of the ap-
pointment of John M. Harlan as asso-

Political Oonslp—The "Convention
System" Lotlug Friends.
[Special Telegram to the News.i
Bryan, April 26—Discussing local
politics seems to be the order of the day
here now. " Convention or no conven-
tion" is talked on the coiners of the
streets and at every whittling place in
town, and as the prospective summer
canvass draws near the fact is more and
more apparent that there is considera-
ble opposition all over the county to the
convention system. Some oppose a
convention for county purposes from
principle, as they claim that there is no
need Of it; that "it is always managed
by a few sharpers for their own per-
sonal aggrandizement, regardless of
the will of the people at large.
Others are opposed to it because
they do not think a nominee
can be elected, and as success is what
they are after, they do not de3ire to go
into anything that they feel morally cer-
tain will produce the opposite result.
Some convention men say they will
stand or fall with the convention, while
others who have heretofore been
strong advocates of it say they
would not have the nomination
if there wa? one independent
candidate in the field. There is a strong
feeling here among all classes that Bry-
an should have a representative on the
state ticket and furnish the next con-
gressman from the district, and Major
Davis, Judge Thomas and Capt. Beail
are spoken of in that connection.
M. Bonneville is having a brick ware-
house built.

An Abortive At'empt t# Capture
Constable Dabbm, « h»raed with
the Tfturder uf Deputy $b«nlTCole-
man.
Some time sicca Fayette Coleman, a
deputy sheriff of the county, disappear-
ed under circumstances that led to the
belief that he was murdered, but his
body could not be found, nor could
any clue to the mysterious disappear-
ance be arrived at. One W. N. Dabbs,
a constable in one of the country pre-
cinct s.hw been suspetted for some time
and last night the sheriff with a posse
went out to arrest him. The posse sur-
rounded the house and the sheriff went
in, and was engaged in a social conver-
sation with a brother of Dabbs when
the guards outside heard the conversa-
tion. They thought Dabbs had sur-
rendered and they started to go in tee
house. When one of them, George
Gentry, had nearly reached the door,
he saw Dabbs have his gun aimed at
him, the muzzle within two feat of his
head, but the cap only popped. Gen
try tried to shoot but his gun missed
fire. Also about this time two other
guards came up and were fired on by
Dabbs, one c-f them firing at Dabbs.
About the same time several others
fired at him. Daobs ran off and has not
been arrested, though it is reported
that he was shot in t he thigh, his ear
shot off and pistol broken by a ba.l. A
negro was arrested charged with aiding
in Dabbs's escape.

Excitement About Working the

[Special Telegram to the News.i
Brekiiam, April 27. — The county
commissioners' court, at its February
term, designated all the streets within
the corporation as a separate road dis-
trict, and appointed the (r.hen) mayor
as overseer. He now claims to be the
legal officer, and there is great excite-
ment among all c'asses of our citizens
on being summoEed to work three days
in addition to two heretofore, as the
condition of the streets does not re-
quire such a rate of taxation. There-
fore there is a dangerous conflict of
urisdiction over the streets.
The city has paid large amounts of
money for lumber and bridge build-
ing, which the county judge informs
me was illegal, as the county is re-
sponsible for such expenses. A law-
suit to recover back this msney will be
the next movement. This is one of
the results of the road law as passed by
the last legislature.
Skirmishing for county offices at the
next election has already commenced
along the lines.
Cotton looks quite promising. Corn
needs rain.
The police force have had to make
only one arrest during the present
month. Therefore it is evident law
and order prevail here.

Dallas, April 27.—The government,
has one witness against Sam Pipes in
Dr. Johnson, of Dallas, who examined
Pipes before he was taken to Tyler last
night, and found a gunshot wound in
his left side above the hip. Connec
tion will be established if possible be-
tween the wound and ihe use of fire-
arms at Mesquite. It was known by
Major Jones that Pipes had been
wounded, and publication this morn
ing of what se.ms to have been the
clue to the arrest was, undoubtedly,
made to turn or stem the tide of public
opinion here setting lately in favor of
Pipes and Herndon.
The Iowa editors will have two hours
worth of Dallas in a bright April day

i"rHARRiSBURG, April 27.—A shooting
scraps took place here to-day between
T. J. Collins and J. J. Ryan, in which
the latter received a severe wound in
the right arm. Ryan came up to Col-
lins in a ball-room last night and said,
You insulted the lady I brought
here," and struck him. They were
separated, and everything was quiet
until to-day. As Ryan was going to
dinner Covins met him and asked him
if he was armed. Ryan saying that he
was not, C illins told him to go and get
fixed. Ryan told him that he did not
think him worth shooting, but to lay
down his arms and fight like a man, if
he wanted anything. Collins said they
did not fight that way in Texas. They
had a few hot words, when Collins,
drawing his gun, began firing, the first
shot missing, the second taking effect
in the right arm and inflicting a very
severe flesh wound. Ryan had his arm
dressed in Houston and is doing very
well. Mr. Collins has not been seen
since the shooting. The trouble is
much regretted among the friends of
both parties.

Great enthusiasm was manifested" in

coming known that the whole of the
staff and commissioned officers station-
ed at Aldershot had received stringent
orders from the war office to hold them-
selves in complete readiness for imme-
diate active service. In addition to this
general order it was stated that all the
principal officers had received impor-
tant secret instructions for certain con-
tingencies.
The Central News agency of London
announces it is informed orders will be
shortly issued for immediate formation
of the second army corps and the rais-

It is reported from | Chatham that a

Concerning the Withdrawal from
Constantinople.
London, April 27.—The Times Vienna
correspondent says the idea which had
been mooted of settling the difficulties
in regard to a mutual withdrawal from
Constantinop'e by arbitration, or by an
international commission on the spot,
seems, however, to have been dropp ;d
as impracticable. The Turkish army,
according to trustworthy accounts, is
being rap dly oiganizid and is becom-
ing more and more a main factor, to be
reckoned within the withdrawal ques
tion, as the Turkish ministry will prob-
ably decline to pledge itself to permit
the return of the English and Russians
if they withdraw. It seems the only re-
course would be for the two powers to
make some arrangement with the sul-
tan and tp.ke the chance of his carrying
it out. The porte continues obdurate
concerning the evacuation of Shumla
and Varna.
Depreciation in Rnssian Currency.
London, April 27.—The Economist
says the opinion that peace will be
maintained is still wide'y entertained
Russian exchange deprecated about 4
per cent, the past week. Large quanti-
ties of Russian paper money, fresh
from the press, are being continually
sold in the Berlin Exchange below St.
Petersburg quotations. • These notes
are mostly sent back to Russia and in-
vested on the Corn Exchange.
Press Comment.
London, April 27 —The Times, in an
editorial, Bays: It is the partition of
Turkey that Russia desires now; it was
its partition she desired at the time of
the Crimean war. Against such policy
we contended then and are contending
now.
Referring to the Italian proposition
that Eaglaad s»ate her views, the Times
says; It would be futile and inconsist-
ent with our position to propose any
scheme until the main principle oT Eu-
ropean control has been conceded, with-
out which no scheme could acquire va-
lidity or sanction.
General Current Notes.
London, April 27.—Ex Sultan Mu-
rad, fully restored to health, is closely
guarded.
The Standard's Paris dispatch says:
Official information reached here that
Gen. Todleben had been appointed
commander-in-chief of the Russian
forces south of the Danube.
The Standard's Rome correspondent
gives the names of four American ves-
sels, which, he says, have been char-
tered by Russian engineers, as follows:
Charleston, Freedom, Hawke and Sim-
rock. No American vessels of these
names engaged in the shipping trade in
the Levant can be discovered.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of
the Times says it is not yet known
whether the British government wiil
accept the new formula, viz: that the
congress shall consider the trea'ies of
1856 and 1871 in relation to the treaty
of San Stefano. The British cabinet
does not insist on any particular form
of words, but merely demands that
Russia should in some way formally
recognize the supremacy of Europe
relative to the Eistern question.
The truth is that discussions
about formula cover more important
matters. One issue out of the present
complication consists in undoing much
of Russia's work, and giving the rest a
Euiopean instead of specifically a Rus-
sian character. Another consists in
what is called the principle of equiva-
lent of compensations to the powers
for Russia's requisitions. The latter
solution is one which Russia desires,
while Great Bri a ^ see us resolved
upon the foimer. Prince Gortschakoff
is decidedly better.
The Standard spccial from Berlin
says that the Russian press have been
forbidden to report or comment upon
political demonstrations, riots and local
disturbances, under pain of suspension.
London, April 26 —Reuters received
the following: Constantinople, April
26 —The extreme Mussulman party has
a«ked the Sheref of Mecca and the
Muflis of Tunis and Morocco whether
Turkey should join England in the
event of an Anglo-Russian war. Muf-
lis replied in the affirmative and Sheref
proposed to submit the question to a
council in the event of hostilities. Mus-
sulman insurgents are penetrating
Philippopoli, driving the Bulgarians
before them. The spread of the insur-
rection causes much disquiet even in
Adrianople. Some soldiers have been
assassinated there.
Baker Pasha has arrived. Suleiman
Pasha has been permitted to reside at
his own house. There is a great reac-
tion in his favor, although he is still
under arrest. Seditious meetings are
held nightly and a popular rising is
feared.
A St. Petersburg correspondent
writes: I observe that the foreign press
devote much attention to the street dis-
orders which recently occurred in St.
Petersburg and Moscow. Some organs
seem to regard them as symptoms of a
dangerous revolutionary movement. In
reality they have no such significance.
There is not the slightest danger of the
public tranquility being seriously dis-
turbed. Any darger of that kind will
first appear, if it appears at all, when
prices rise and tfxes are increased.
London, April 27.—A Constantinople
dispaica says it is hoped Gen. Todleben
who succeeds the Grand Duke Nicholas,
will be able to arrive at an agreement
with the English in regard to the mili-
tary details of mutual withdrawal.
The Russians demand in the event of
withdrawal a wide zone left neutral be-
tween them and the Turks. Safvet I'a-
sha has gone to confer with the Grand
Duke Nicholas ana den. Todleben.
An Absconding Cashier.
Indianapolis, lad , April 27.—We
learn from Salem, Ind., that the ab-
sconding cashier, Bains, abandoned his
horse, turning him loose about ten
miles west, and afterward obtained a
seat in a passing wagon. When last
heard from he was at Prospect, some 30
miles west, and 15 to 20 miles away
from a railway and telegraph. Wm. C.
Winstandby, president of the Bedford
bank, is conducting an examination of
the Salem bank's condition. They are
unwilling to give information until the
examination is completed. A stock-
holder gives the information that a
deficiency of $30,000 is already discov
ered, aul that a reward is to be offered
for Biins's capture. The impression
prevails on "ihe street that Bains'a bond
will probably coyer bit deficiency,
THE LOG WAR.
Fifth Daj's Investigation—Govern-
ment Otiicers Worsted.
Lake Charles, La., April 27.—Dur-
ing the investigation some technical
discussions arose, when Mr. Adams
made openly a declaration, which glad-
dened the hearts of the people, to this
effect, addressing the audience: "Go
tell your friends to meet together,
agree together to purchase all the logs
bought in at the government sale by
Mr. Carter, and I will sell them all to
you at a fail- price, and every govern-
ment officer shall leave this country and
you be left to yourselves."
General Sewell arose and said they
were the most cheering words the peo-
ple of this section of the country have
heard for more than a year.
Mr. Carter arose and said that he felt
aggrieved at the insinuations made by
Mr. Adams, and he wanted to know if
the government hud lo3t confidence in
him; that it reflected on him.
Mr. Adams said that it was not for
him to say, but repeated to the people
present: " Get together, buy the logs,
pay for them, and I will see that all the
government officers leave you all to
yourselves." After this bombshell
quiet was restored and business re-
sumed. Examination of the fifth wit-
ness closed to-day. Two of the impor-
tant charges are established. Investi-
gation adjourned until Monday.
THE VATICAN.
London, April 27.— The Times dis-
patch from Berlin says there is no pro-
spect of a compromise between the
Vatican and Prussia. The Vatican has
instructed ecclesiastics in Prussia to be
moderate in their language.
Rome, April 27 —Negotiations for
the restoration of relations between the
Vatican and the Swiss government have
nearly fallen through in consequence of
the opposition of the exiled bishops of
Basle and Geneva

The Trump «1 the Period lor the
Radicals.
Macon, Ga , April 26.—In his letter
to the Memorial Association Jefferson
Davis says:
Let not any of the survivors impugn their
faith by ( flaring penitential plftha? They be-
lieved they were right. Let posterity learn
by this monument that you commemorate
men who died in a defensive war; that they
did not, as has been idly stated, submit to the
arbitrament of arms the questions at issue—
ques inns involving the inal eaable rights in-
herited and held in trust for posterity—but
they strove for the stite sovereignty which
their fathers left them, and which it was their
duty, if possible, to transmit to their chil-
dren.
Let this monument teach that heroism de-
rives its luster from the justice of the cause
in which It is displayed, and let it mark ti e
difference between a war waged for the rob-
ber-like purpose of conquest and one to re-
sist invasion, to defend a people's hearths ai d
altars and to maintaiu tueir laws and liber-
ties, which was the war in which our heroes
fell, ard theirs is the crown which sparkles
with The gems of patriotism and righteous-
ness, with a glory uudimmrd by any motive
of aggrandizement or intent to inflict ruin on
others. We pre ent them to posterity as ex-
amples to be followed, and wait securely for
the verdict of mankind, when knowledge
shall have dispelled misrepresent ition and
delusion.
It is not unreasonable to hope that mature
reflection and a closer study or the political
history of the Uaion m%y yet restore the
rights prostrated by the passions developed in
our long and bloody war. If, however, it
should be otherwise, then from our heroes'
graves shall come in mournful tones the an-
suswer fit, and if our children must obey,
they must; but thinking on our duty will less
debase them to submit.
The French Exposition.'^ #
Paris, April 27.—One hunlred thou-
sand foreigners have already arrived to
witness the ceremony at the opening of
the exhibition on Wednesday next, May
1st. Prices of living have advanced,
but not to the ex'eut that was feared.
The exhibition will not be in full trim
until the beginning of June. The
buildings are finished; exhibitors only
are behindhand. The English, Ameri
can, Swiss and Dutch sections are the
most advanced.
Paris, April 27.—Nine thousand
workmen are engaged in the Champs de
Mars. The American commission say
the engine for driving the American
machinery will probably be in position
Monday, but they fear that the French
administration will not be able to sup-
ply steam until the end of the week.
Robert Hart, director of imperial Chi-
nese customs and Chinese commissioner
to the exhibition, has arrived. Most of
the members of the postal congress
have also arrive !.
The Elements at Deadivooif.
Cheyenne, Wt., April 27.—At Dead-
wood, D T., Thursday night, the ra t
that is used for transferring pa-sengers
and mail across the Cheyenne river on
the Sidney route capsized when in the
middle of the stream. All the mails
and baggs.ge lost and passengers nar-
rowly escaped drowning. Warm weath-
er the past few days has caused rapid
melting of snow in the mountains,
wh ch has swollen the already Danger-
ously high cneks that run through
Deadwood. This evening a rain
set in, and great fear is entertained
that a portion of the business center of
this city will be seriously damaged by
the flood. The district court was ad-
journed to-day on account of water
flowing into the court room. All deeds
and papers are being removed from the
recorder's office, which lies in the path
of the raging waters, to a place of safe-
ty. A large gang of men are at work
tearing down bridges and small build-
ings that obstruct Ihe free passage of
the water.
The English Strikes.
London, April 26.—A numerously
attended meeting of private cotton
spinners and directors of spinning com-
panies at Oldham yesterday, resolved to
reduce the wages of spinners five per
cent. At Blackburn 5000 looms are
working eut of a total of 5200. Pau-
perism is becoming manifest among the
poorer classes of operatives, such as
weavers, who are without strike funds.

WASHINGTON.
Secretary Sherman and the New
Mlver Coin.
ISpecial Telegram to the News.i
Washington, April 27 —Secretary
Sherman denies that he intended
to hoard silver dollars. He has
paid no new dollars for bullion
yet, because holders of the latter
demanded certificates of large de-
nominations, and none of these have
been ready. By the first of May thou-
sand dollar certificates will be prepared,
and will be used in bullion purchases.
Besides this, Sherman Will use silver
dollars in paying ordinary expenses to
the amount of greenbacks retired in
place of new national bank notes is-
sued, and payment of these two kinds
wiil absorb silver dollars after May 1
as fast as they are issned from the
mints.
[Associated Press.]
House.
Washington, April 27.—In the
house, the amendments of the senate to
the bill for regular advertisements of
mail lettings were not concurrred in.
The house then went into Committee
of the Whole on the Indian appropria-
tion bill. The bill recommends the ap-
propriation of $4,772,000, and is a
unanimous report of the Appropria-
tions committee. It provides that
whenever it is found practicable
to employ Indians in farming
or other civilized avocations in
which they cm contribute to
their maintenance, the commission
of Indian Affairs may use such por-
tions of their respective subsistence as
can be spared to pay for services of
such Indians as may be induced to la-
bor for their own advancement. It
further provides that so much of the
appropriation as may be required to
pay for goods and supplies shall be im-
mediately available. General debate
having been dispensed with, the bill
was read by sections, and adopting two
or three unimportant amendments the
committee arose and the bill was
Washington, April 27.—The house
went. Into committee of the whole on
the Legislative, Executive and Judicial
Appropriation bill, Mr. Eden in the
chair. The total amount appropriated
by the bill is $14 735,000.
"Mr. Atkins, chairman of the commit-
tee on Appropriations, said the bill was
about $682 000 less than a like bill in
1876, and $714,000 le3s than the bill for
the current year. It was also less than
the bill passed at thi last session of the
forty-third congress by $4,166,000, and
less than the bill of the last session of
congress by over $6,000,000. The
committee on Appropriations had tried
to eliminate from the service all super-
numerary and unnecessary public of-
fices. He refemd to the falling off
of customs duties from $212 000,000
in 1872 to $128,000,000 in
1879, and said the house had either to
restrict the government'3 expenditures
within its revenues or increase taxa-
tion. Mr. Atkins, in the course cf
rather a long speech, opposed resump-
tion, saying if resumption meant re
demption and cancellation and conse-
quent contraction of the currency, it.
meant simply ruin.
The bill was read by sections for
amendments. After completing the
sections regarding the legislative de-
partment of the government, and the
sections for support of the executive
department and the state department,
the committee rose and the house ad-
journed.

quence of the issue of national bank
notes, will be about $1,200,000. The
secretary of the treasury orders this
amount to be replaced by silver dollars
to be paid out in course of business.
This sum will be distributed among va-
rious sub treasuries and public deposi-
tories, so that to this extent silver dol-
lars will be paid out for currency obli-
gations. This payment of silver dol-
lars will not interfere with procuring
silver dollars in exchange at par for
gold coin at any time.
