•WEDNESDAY FEB. 6, 1878. Htrald Steam Printing House. Ttie Herald steam I'rlutiug House Is aot surpasseJ by any Job Printing ofllce nttl the Pacific Coast, outside of Sau Fran elseo, la facilities for doing job work Low prices, good work aud expedition easy be relied upon at tbis office. AM interesting phase of tlio cur rency controversy which is now •fiUtiug tbe country is developed In a late correspondence between Mr. Morrill and Mr. Sherman, the latter now Mr. Hayes's Secretary ef tbe Treasury. Mr. Morrill de sire* to know from the Cabinet Minister whether he did not say, in • speech In tbe United States Sen ate, In 1869, that the principal of ■tbe five-twenty bonds was payable In legal tender notes. The Secre tary of the Treasury, in reply, ad mits tbat he did say so. He con cedes the fact that the legal tender note its face tbat it is re- ail debts, public and PrWate, except customs duties and interest on the public debt, but he now holds tbat he said so on tbe as sumption that the Government of the United States would see to it that their legal tender notes ap preciated to par. It is very con venient to Mr. Sherman to take thla view of the matter. But when the bondholder purchased bis bond, was be not fully aware that he was taking bie chances on whether or no greenbacks ad vanced to par before tbe option of the United States to pay in five or twenty years took effect? Tbe let ter of his bond simply read that he should receive his interest in gold, whioh was a very good thing in deed, considering the low figures at kwhleh he purchased the bonds (originally. He took a number of wisks besides the liability of hay- Hpg bis bonds redeemed in greeu- Backs which might perhaps sell at Hur or five or perhaps twenty per below par. He took the risk Hhe American Union falling to BBa>e*< when ho might have got * nothing. The fact is that he did well—made an excellent bargain; and, wbeu he assumes to grumble, be is really indulging in a deeply hypocritical game of false pretences. He has so far got a high . ratejof interest ou a very low rate of investment, and he knows it — the old dissembler—far better than any newspaper writer cm tell him. While referring to this matter, in connection with tlie public faith, It should be remembered that I Stevens, the leader of illcan parly iv the House ntatives, aud tlie Chair ie Comniitteo of Ways t, stated, in his place in some years before his it ho drew the whole f legislation relating to J debt of the United (al tenders, bouds and hat, most emphatically, tended that the bouds payable, at the option of States, in legal tender notes. How could we have higher contemporary testimony than this? Taken in connection with tlie fact tbat the explicit language of the law admits of tiie payment of the bond? uot only iv the silver dollar which was in uso when tbey were Issued—certainly that was "lawful of the United States"—but Pn greenbacks, it is apparent that the capitalists are playing an Aminadab Sleek role with the peo ple of the green and salad United States. If, iv revenue for honest aud cor reot legislation, the foreign and domestic bondholders of tbe United States undertake to inaugurate a game of vengeance; if, pursuant to that plan, they start in to depreci ate the valuo of both silver and greenbacks, our remedy is a simple one. Merely let the United States announce that (hey are prepared to redeem the bonds iv silver aud greenbacks and tbe effort to depreciate the value of both of those currencies will cease at once. It will cease for the simple reason that it won't pay the bond bolder to continue tbe conspiracy, and discredit what be bas to take himself. He will personally lose money by the ope- the instinct of selfish ness will therefore restrain him. Mr. Auoust Belmont, who is generally Chairman of the Demo cratic National Committee, does not like the direction of the finan cial legislation of Congress. He says there is great danger or the credit of the Uuited States being ruined forever. It occurs to us that, con sidering the aristocratic, oppressive and imperial accompaniments of a large national debt, aud which have signally shown themselves in the United States during the last fifteen or sixteen years, it would be a great blessing if the ability of this oountry to get into debt should be destroyed. A nation, even more than an Individual, suffers from rushing into debt. The tendency of great natioual debte is to convert tbe masses into hewers of wood and drawers of water to the capi talist class, to concentrate mouey into a few hands and to create large numbors of wealthy people who wilt not engage lv business enterprises because they have an easy and assured iucotne, sup posed to be without risk, from tbe publlo funds. Perhaps it would not be such a bad policy, after all, to divest this easy refuge of the rich, selfish and Indolent of its supposed sanctity and inviolabil ity. The slightest tremor of a rich man sets a certain class of journals and public men palpitatiug with anxiety, while tho sweat and toil and anxiety of the laborer, his many disappointments, his cur tailed enjoyments, his often agou ized battle to keep tbe wolf from the door, interest them not a whit. We learn that the general opin ion in Sacrament I is that the Farea and Freights > 11 ported by the Board of Transport ,' i Commis sioners of this State / ' certainly pass the House, but (. : there is great danger of their failure In tlie Senate. The leaders of tlie Demo cratic majority of the Senate should see to it that this popular impression is falsified. Should the Democratic party fail to do some thing acceptable to the people on this head, every Republican paper in the t'uited States will ring with reproaches from now to the uext election. These journalists and the stump orators of the party will ut terly ignore the fact that the Cen tral and Southern Pacific Railways were called into being, and made a power, by the Republican party. But, waiving all party questions, the people have a right to some substantial and well considered legislation whicli will give them a guarantee against corporation op pression. The railways will natu rally be likely to take all they can get, aud the representatives of the people, without doing injustice to the corporations, or making their legislation so extreme a 9 to neces sitate the cessation of the cunning of traius, should give us a bond from fate that the whole margin of profit in raising crops should uot be absorbed in tbo charges for transportation. We feel confident that tho Democratic Senate cau be relied upou to do its duty. We are rapidly reaching a period, however, in which action, to be effectual, must be instant. It is a curious Hue of testimony which is being developed before the Legislative Commission which was sent down to San Francisco to make inquiry as to tho advisability of repealing the precipitately passed Incendiary Act. Whon Judge Louderback is on tlie stand one story is heard; when Judge Bob Ferral mounts into tlie wit ness box very different is tlie nar rative. We have never enter tained any doubt of the fact that this act was a mistake. It should be repealed, and It should have been repealed before Bones came upou the scene. If it Is repealed now, Bones wiil claim all tho credit of tha repeal and wa rather thluk ho will be able to substan tiate the claim simply because he will place himself in the van of the public sentiment demanding it. Machinery to suppress riots may be needed, but free speech should never be trammeled. Legislative bodies which start out to frame laws ou such delicate matters should re member that the Constitution of the United States, in express terms, grants to every American citizen the right of assembling and petition, and the right to carry arms publicly. Tlie Legislature has made a mistake and it should acknowledge it in a manly way. The shortest and frankest is tbe best way out of such a dilemma. Not even by a thorough squirrel bill can Hon. Asa Ellis co recom mend himself to his constituents as by seeing to it that bis bill giving Southern California two short ses sions of the Supreme Court, at Los Angeles, shall become a law. Its passage should be heartily pressed. With the enactmeut of such a law the Supreme Court of this State would bo relieved of a sectional complexion whose existence for so long a period is calculated to ex cite surprise. LAST NIGHT'S NEWS. [HpeellftJ tv the Herald by the Western Union Telegraph Cum pan y.] Pacific Coast News. Leglalullve Proceedlulge. Sacramento, Feb. s.—Senate —New bills: McCoppin withdrew bill 272 and offered as a substi tute, adding section 1879 to the Political Code, Instruction in in strumental music and the lan guages other than the Englash language is hereby prohibited in all public schools, supported in whole or in part by State or munic ipal tax, except in the various high schools of the State, the State Nor mal School, the University of Cal ifornia and the asylum for the deaf, dumb and blind. Referred to the Education Committee. Assembly messages: A large list of bills was brought up from the Assembly. Among the more important were tbe bill calling a special election in Santa Clara county to fill the vacancy caused by Senator Angney's death and Senate Joint Resolution No. 26, memoralizing Congress to abolish the duty on grain bags aud mate rials of whicli they are made. Ad journed. Latest Eastern News. Tba six « uiupaulea la ba Heard, Washington, Fab. sth.— Ths Committee ou Education aud Labor bave received a communica tion from Joseph P. O. Kennedy, of Washington, representative of tb* Chinese Mix Companies, asking to be beard in argument in advance of favorable action by the Committee ou any bill to restrlot Mongolian immigration. Tho Committee agreed to give him tlio desired op portuulty ami he is now writiug his argument. He says the Six Companies have no objection to the proposition for lite convention whicli has been recommended by the California Legislature. The statement attributed to Colonel Bee, that the Six Companies, two or three weeks ogo, telegraphed from San Francisco to Secretary Evarts a proposition for the re striction of Chinese immigration, does not seem to be true. In re spouse to inquiries it is positively asserted at tbe State Department that no such communication lias been received either by telegraph or by mail. WiioaN lariif Bill. CIIICAOO, Feb.

It will be reported some time this mouth. rrob.ib)« l».vc«tlg;>illiiii-~ I'rwloiiistfJ NnflKluu rreiilelen-Uevlviit t»rii> c :mo Tax. Likely. Washinutox. Feb. sth.—L;ad iug members of the Houso Naval Committee say it may be consid ered certain tbat Mare Island mat ters will be made tho subject of in vestigation towards the close of the preseut session. The iutention is to obtain authority from the House to send a sub-committeo to Mnre Island for tills purpose. Tho Democratic leaders of the House Committee on Appropria tions express the opinion that the session will bo prolonged uutil about the Ist of July by contro versies over the general appropria tion bills. They say they purpose cutting down all government sala ries throughout the couutry, even those of employes of the Senate and intend to ieduce all expendi tures to a minimum, and, therefore, anticipate a strenuous and long continued coutest with the Senate, Huch as occurred in the spring and summer of 187 G. This prediction, however, assumes that the House willsustain their sweeping recom mendations, which, iv view of the nearly equal division of party strength, is a very violent assump tion. Tlie majority for tho income tax resolution yesterday, though not large enough to suspend the rules, was so emphatic au expression of the will of tlie House on this sub ject that it practically insures the re-impositiou of the tax so far us the House is concerned aud will doubtless be accepted by the Ways aud Means Committee as on in struction to report a tax bill ac cordingly. Six of the thirteeu members of the Committee are al ready known to be In favor of such action. The Pacific Coast members of tlio Committee were recorded on the proposition as follows: In favor of income tax—Luttrell and Page; agaiust, Davie, Wren and Wil liams; not voting, Pacheco, The Secretary of War writes, iv response to the Oakland Light Cavalry for the loan of a gattling gun, that the Governor of Califor nia, upon application to tho com manding officer of Benicia arsenal, wiil be furnished with such ord nance aud ordnance stores as he may require to meet any emergency that may arise in existing troubles. lOMIIltlMtl-Vll,, Washinoton, Feb. S.—SBNATE. Howe and Davi», of Illinois, pre sented petitions of the masters, pi lots, mates, engineers and others of the United States praying for an amendment to tlie law in regard to the employment of aliens as pilots, so as to require applicants to take the oath of allegiance before re ceiving license and also to satisfy the luspector that they resided iv the United States. Referred. Conkling Baid he had received a large number of petitions from cit izens of many couuties of New York in favor of the remonetiza tiou of silver. He observed that these petitions were all priutedin one and the same form and were the product of an organized effort. He denied that they represented the opinions of the people of the State af New York ou this silver question. He also presented a pe tition In favor of the remonetlza tiou of the silver dollar and increas ing its weight so as to make it equal in value to tbe gold dollar. Beck presented a memorial from the Stats of Kenlueky, signed by the Governor thereof, asking Con gress to make an appropriation to pay the balances due to the State for expenses incurred in equipping troops during the late war. Re ferred. Terry, from the Committee on Postottlces aud Post Roads, report ed with amendment Senate bill to regulate compensation of Post masters and for other purposes. Butler, from the same Commit tee, reported unfavorably ou the House joint resolution to authorize the Secretary of War to issue cer tain arms to tho Washing ton light iufautry of Charleston, South Carolina. Hamlin, from the Committee on Foreign Relations, reported, with amendment, the House bill to further suspend the operations of seotion 5574 of the Revised Statutes in relation to the U-uano Islands. House.—Hewitt presented peti tions from Boston aud New York for action looking to the relief of starving Chinese. He understood the balance of the Chinese indem nity fund, vow in the State De partment, was over one million dollars. It should have beeu re turned long ago, and should now be returned unconditionally in the most gracious and efficacious man ner possible. Referred to the Com mittee on Foreign A Hair*. Knott, from the Judiciary Com mittee, reported back Hooker's bill for au extra session of the Circuit Court in Southern Mississippi, for the quick and cheap trial of the men accused of depredating ou gov ernment timber. He said, if it was feared that partial juries would be empanneled, he would suggest that they be drawn from other sections. Hooker said that utter prostra tion prevailed in that district and industries whicli aggregated four millions yearly were stagnant on account of the delay of the govern ment. Frye, of (he Judiciary Commit teo, advocated the bill and Foster opposed it as in tlie interest of tim ber thieves. After some dobate the bill passed by 139 to IC2. Stephens, from the Coinage Com mittee, reported tlio testimony taken on golold coinage. Ordered printed. Springer said he would to-morow call up tbe case or the Wiggiutou- Pacheoo contest. The House then went into Com mittaeof the Whole on the Mill tary Academy appropriation bill. The item of $7,000 for additional pay to professors for length of ser vice was omitted. Mayham moved to strike out $900 for the pay of one inspector of practical military engineering iv addition to his pay as First Lieu tauaut. Considerable discussion ensued, during which Clymer said there were iive-seveuths of a pro fessor at West Point to each five and one half students aud their pay amounted to about $900 more than the cost of sustaining the 310 ca dets. He recommended the Mili tary Committee to look into the matter. It was radically wrong. Without reaching a coucluslon the Committee rose and the House ad journed. Ulll t» lleqtilru "clallo.l '. nlim»n» Washington, Feb. sth.—The House Committee on Naval Affairs has ogreed to report favorably Whiltliorn's bill, which provides for certaiu estimates of the Navy Department, to bo given iv detail in addition to the estimates re quired by the revised statutes. M.tre rjnvlnua ilimli C'ruultrclursfl. .Boston, Feb. s.—Tlie Meroantile Savings Institution lias a capital stock of $205,571, which will be ab sorbed by itsi losses. Depositors, probably, will not bo heavy losers. The bank lias been dealing largely in real estate for tho last 3 years and tlio depreciation of invest ments causes the preseut condition. It is believed tbe officers of the bunk withheld in their returns tha true statement of its Usances). I.rrilo Still lv Hi" Field. City ok Mexico, Jau. 30th.—The friends of ex-President Lerdo in tend to run him for President at the next election. It seems thut Vallort and liomero are also men tioned us candidates. l>cu»lK ou Ilie sliver Ulll. Chicago, Feb. 4th.—ln the dis cussion on tbe Bland bill this af ternoon, Eaton favored au interna tional couference to fix the relative value of gold and silver. He want ed to submit an amendment to-day for 451} grains of standard silver, whicli equalized the silver with the gold dollar. He would make silver coiu worth one hundred cents, and under bis constitutional oath he would do it now and not watt for the report of any Interna tional Commission. Believing that tbe stamp of the government in creased its value, lie would make the silver dollar consist or 440 grains. He moved to strike out 412} grains and insert 440 grains. The amendment was ordered printed. Eaton then resumed his remarks, making a lengthy argument. He said two classes of Senators clam ored for the Silver dollar. The oue led by Beck insisted that it would make mouey cheaper, and the other, led by Tburman, insisted that it would equalize tbe value of the gold and silver dollar, nnd both would be the standard of value in the commercial world. Both could not be right, but might be wrong. He did not object to the coinage of the silver dollar under proper re strictions, but thero could bo uo double standard. Such standard had been claimed, but one metal always drove the other out of the country. Eaton referred to the re cent speech of Voorhees, ami said he did not attack or arraign the motive of auy honorable Senator on this lloor, but of the effects which tbe priuciplcs enunciated might cause, he bad a right to speak. Such remarks as were uttered by that Sena tor would array class against class aud labor against capital. He did uot say this was the design of tlie venerable Senator, but such would bo the effect of his speech. The North, South, East and West were bound together by the consti tution and a bond of brotherhood whioh could not be broken. The Senator from Indiaua charged lhat capital was aggressive and arro gant. He (Eaton; thought it was always timid, quiet and avoided anything like revolution. To his Southern friends he would say they were broken dowu by tbe ravages or war. Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey and New England had capital and the natu ral advantages of the South afford ed a good investment for it. Let thero be no more menace. Brave men did not fear It and honorable men would never indulge in it. He believed, but for the unwise action of Congress, the commercial men of tho country would have resumed specie payments before tho Ist of March next. Howe complimented Eaton ou his able argument but refused to bo placed iv the dishonorable cata logue of repudiators. He examined at length the acts creating the bonds and the legislation regaiding their payment and concluded that if the capitalist insisted on the payment of his bond in gold, ho must rest ou tho equities of his claim uud uot on the law of tho land. The Government must consult its own interests even as capitalists did when they made in vestments. Tbo attempt to demon etize silver was a conspiracy into which a large part of Europe has entered. The question was, would the United States become a party thereto? It was a deliberate at tempt to blast thirty-three per cent, of our means to pay the na tion's debt, Tb* West had fewer millionaire:) aud consequently fewer paupers than the East. The simple truth is, the West believes the East is trying to alter the con tract made by Ihe Government in the sale of the binds and they ob ject to it. He would not believe the President would veto the bill unless he hoard so from the Presi dent hims elf. Thurman then took the tloor and will continue to-morrow. Weller then submitted the fol lowing amendment; "The holders of silver bullion may deposit with the Treasurer or any assistant Treasurer of the United States, such silver bullion in amounts not less than 1,000 ounces of nine hundred flue aud receive therefor certlfi oatea not less than $100 each, com puting a dollar at 412} grains; the bullion so received may be coined by the Qovermnent of the United States, or retained lv the Treasury for the payment of such certificates ou presentation at the Treasury where issued. If the bullion deposited shall be coined by the government, Buch certain certificates shall be paid in bullion of a like standard of fine ness and weight or In coined dol lars or part in bullion and part in coin at the option of tbe govern ment; the bullion so received shall not be included in the amount of silver to be coined each month uuder the provisions of the first section of this act and such certifi cates shall not lie a legal tender for the payment nf any debit) what ever.

Athens, Feb. sth.—The Turkish Minister here designates the action of the Oreeks as a declaration of war. He telegraphed to Constan tinople for tlie Minister of War to convey him hence in consequence. The Turkish fleet, under Hobart Pasha, has arrivtd and the Greek Government is iv consternation • and intends appealing to tlie inter vention of the guaranteeing • power*. Great panic prevails. Tho conclusion of the armistice litis caused great consternation, though the Russian Minister here gave a verbal promise that Greece should be included iv the armistice. The only rational thing for the Greeks to do is to stop military operations immediately and rely on this prom ise and the goood offices of Europe, but no order bas yet been sent to tba army and the General seems to be In favor of continuing at any sacrifice. The position of the Greeks Is bad. They can claim the reoord neither of warlike achievement* nor of a peaceful policy. Wunndcil by n Woman. St. Petersburo, Feb. o!h. — While M.

Vienna, Fob. s.—No attempt is made in St. Petersburg to remove the suspicion that the Russian Commissinuers in Roumania delib erately procrastinated the negotia tions in order to take tho greatest possible advantage of tho military situation. On tho contrary, in order to clear tho Russian govern ment of tlie charge which other wise might attach to it, that the delays occurred if not by its orders, at least with its connivance.
