TUESDAY MOBN.ffQ APRIL 10, 18oo nKCKPTIO.1l AT TUB MANSION. KXKOUT1VB Tn Presidential levees at the ExecatlTC Mansion will be dispensed th until further notice. The ladies of the President's household will receive callers on Fridays, afternoon and evening. A CAm-AIGN OF SIAIilGMTV. Toward eTtry honest expression of dissent concerning the position and policy of Thk I'Auinim ire shall extend, so far as lies In our power, a courteous respect. AVo have not now, and hope never to have, any quar rel with tho sincere and upright men of the Union party who may differ with the Execu tive on any point. We shall earnestly labor to convince them that his course Is patriotic that his acts arc In accordance with his sense of right, and that the one controlling Idea at the basis of his private wishes and his public record is strict adherence to the Con stitution and unfaltering fidelity to the American llepublic. Hooner or later c er j unbiassed and unprejudiced citizen will dis cover this to bo his rule of conduct, nndjicld him the tribute of their admiration and grati tude. We have no Issue but that of straight forward defence andmanlyargumenttoraakc with those who conscientiously opposo the Immediate recognition of tho representation of the Southern Btatcs, and who were disap pointed by the cto messages of Tub I'acii coi. A e leave it to the future to v indicate the wisdom of the objections urged against these measures. Even now we do not hesi tate to say that outside of a few localities, where radicalism has substituted the place of religion, and Congress is regarded as the Government, the Frecdmen's Bureau bill could not obtain the majority of an in telligent congressional district. And when it is seen that the Civil Rights bill, which became law notwithstanding the objections of Tut Pkesidext, defeats the yiery purpoo which It pretends to aid, when by its defects it can afford no assistance to the freed race; when by its useless riders and its cumbrous machinery it was deprned of the moral weight of the Presidential signature as it will be of judical sanction; when it is realized that the sovereign title of the State Is surrendered, and that Congressional usur pation has gamed more in a single hour in this nation, under mistaken devotion to liberty, than it achieved in twenty-Hie jears with all the arrogance and aggressions of slavery, this people will recoil with sorrow from the rising monster of centralization The sj ren voice which sings of huraanit) and duty will soon die away, and then will be heard the defiant menace of d'Ctatorial port er Hut on these subjects we expect a ilivi'Uil opinion. Bo long as the world stands there will be those who arc for and those who nre against eer) legislative proposition or poll! teal idea, Unanimity upon all matters lifter did and never will exist. It is doubtful whether it would be desirable for us to be all of one mind if it were possible. Thtreforo much of the comment and cntici'in of cer tain prominent loal papers adterse to the policy of Til Pkesioivt has not surprised us, and though much that has been suid was weak an inane an argument, the tone and temper has been commendable and props r. But there has been another I"t niani- tested hy some of the opponents pi ' PutsiDEsr, having Its origin in personal ilu - appointment, whiih cannot bo too severely rebuked. Tho excess of virtue which has characterized some of the bitter opposition hurled at President Jo,so spring from a thirst for revenge. The sewers of itiiptra. tion which opened upon him bytbe Chroni cle in Washington and the JlepuhUcan in Chicago, sprung from this motive. Tup edi tor of the first finds his sickening adulation of that official not reciprocated, and he turns upon him. He then rccencs a tvhot Imtk which mil long ran Vie in a place which in most men is occupied with a heart, and has affixed to his name an unfortunate soubruput which he will carry to his grave. As a mat ter of lou rise, smarting under his deserted ttastigation, he endeavors, by cullinif THk . Fbesidem a traitor and deserter, and all manner of ridiculous things, to draw attcn tion from his own shame and infamy Mr. Dana, who, from 1m suptrlathc Im inanitarian education hating had a tuition fn the refined society of the socialists at JJrook farm, and frradinting m that eminent school of manners, the Tribune ofluc, uould be supposed intapable uf fplting ns Uailers wiiu mo virus oi cnagrm, et wrausc Jhe I'rksidfnt did not set the high alue upon him with wliiih he rated himself, and refused to make him Collector of the Tort of New York, at the first opportunity he tries to hound down the Executive b) the inot abushc epithets und the ilest slanders, ho too, u l'ostmoster in Harris burg, being warned that his place la t anted for u brute Union Q iiu rat who bad been fighting for four ears, suddenly becomes furiously radi cal, rushes into a meeting cooked tip for the purpose, and flings a scurrilous resolution at tie head of President Jounsov 'lhcM ure the rfiiior. that the war on lain has been so riolent in certain quarters, malice becomes the morality of this aiirHntled gentrf hut their campaign of mallgnit) wii,1 ("roe as in- effectual lu uis destruction us the Mav ""it lainly dashes agumst the roik Wurehouelnff la New York. Mr. MonaAM Introduced a bill to provide for tbe erection of warehooees in New lorkfor the recep tion of goode and merchandise arriving In vessels abject to quarantine by the laws of New York which was referred to tbe Committee ou Commerce The pla Indicated Is " West Dank," In the lower bay of New York It requires tbe State of New York to meka em equal appropriation for hospital purposes at the saaia location Mr SniBaua- Introdiuea a bill to remtt and re- f and certain dotta, which was referred to the Com mittee on Commerce It relates to foods, tbe pro duct of the United States, sent via Canada tosome port In thii country English SyaipMlijr fur the Fraednieu, Mr Thurlow need received a letter by the last Steamer front the Hon Arthur KUnalrd, M P , AnoloslDf 430 for himself, and a likt amount Iron Sir Morton Fsto, (ot Us Fmdmia'f SaTisa. Mineral Limits). There Is no tuhjcit more vital to tho pros perity of the ftewj States and Territories of the distant West, than the adoption of a land system. At present, and for nearly txenty ) ears, there has been no method of acquiring absolute title to mineral lands. Immense in terests halo bicn declopcd upon a posses sory tenure technically a trespass hut which no wio (lovcrnment would disturb without the mot careful consideration. The Secretary of the Treasury, regarding the question financially In his last report, re ferred pertinently to social considerations, which call for permanent ownership of raining claims. Mr. McCillocii also intimated that an cvtcnion of the laws, giving rights of pre emption to mineral lands, would be n proper Initiative; and wo observe that Mr. Huerma.y, of Ohio, jc8tcrday presented to the Senate a bill " to regulate the occupation of mineral lands and extend tho right of pre-emption thereto," which, he remarked, had been drawn to indicate tho policy favored by the Secretary of the Triasury. Wc find on reference to this bill that the exploration and occupation of mineral lands, subject to existing mining regulations. Is not interrupted, but is expressly encouraged and legalized. Tlacer or gulch mining will, therefore, remain on its present footing; but as to quartz mining, which requires capital and permanent structures, the means is af forded to secure patents for claims actually occupied and improved, subject to the pay ments of five dollars per acre and fivo per cent, of tho nett product of the mine, vein, or lode, so appropriated and held, into the national treasury. Orcat latitude Is given to the Secretary of the Interior in adjusting the public surveys to such pre-emptions of raining claims, and various provisions ore added to separate agricultural lands within the mining districts and submit them to homestead occupations. The bill was re ferred to the Senate Commltteo on Mines and Mining. PERSONAL. K (J Comstoi k, of New York, President of the Savannah Ha. of steamships, arrive J Id towo lut algal W.

Under tbe circumstances the right to reduce tbe currency rtiould nut be vested In tbe Secretary lb ere was nommg in me nm io re strain tbe Secretary from accumulating In the Treasury two Hundred millions oi legal tender nuici, and my opinion is that tbe Secretary f the Treas ury, in carrying oui un own j nuoy, wm iu f w There Is in tbe Treasury nt w mure money than baa aver been before Wbyls Ibe reoioaot tbli? It shows that he Is carrying out hi' policy of con traction, and this he has tbe power of doing not withstanding the construction put on tne Dili ty the House, and Ifae fact that it dr not deilgned to confer tbatpjwer on him WIthetery reip ct for and confidence In tbe Integrity and ability of the preient incumbent of tbe Treasury, be wns op posed to giving tbe power to any oca mnn to affect the currency of the country at Lis will, to contract or expand It at nls pUaiure l lie Dullness men vi tbe country are alarmed, as I know from letters which I am dally raoeltlog, and It Is my serious belief that the apprehensions of tie ffuctof this bill ara materially affecting the builneo Interests and prosperity of this country There aie two pro vision! f this bill, one giving the Secretary tbe power to retire, at bis pleasure, the notes and bonds of tbe United Slatti, even those which are not dne 'ir yearr, The other power Is to reduce at his will the current of tbs country, a power which was never riven to any Sectary before H had pre pared a bill withcare.ueetlng l' I"0 Ject, but did not know that this was the proper iimfj to preient it. tim ruuisuvu, tun iu IIoueof Reprefentatlres did not utWeritand tb bill to confer such powers or tbey would not bare passed It. Mr. Feenden said the reason probably that tbe House ot Representatives did not understand tbe bill as tbe Senator, was because their Imagination bad not taken ro wide a range When peace came the Idea of the Secretary was that a return should be bad to specie payments as soon iu possible, and hie policy bad been to bring that about as soon as DOI Hole ills (Mr tr.'ii oojeoiion to tue bin was its weakness, not Its strength Vtt should get back ri rceedily as poislble to the old system to specie paynuott, ei coon as It can be done with safety to the buslnes Interests of tbe country This is about the effect and substuce of tbe bill, except that the Senator Imagines what tbe .Secre tary can do It Is to be supposod that the Seere tary of the Treasury Is an honest man and a senrjble man. In my opinion be Is a very honest and a lery inilbte man Knowing, as be does, what a paralysing ajrc on the business of the country would be produced by ouch action as tbe Senator suggests he ran take, Is It likely iXtt ns a sensible man he will do it, just became he has the povsr7 It would strike a blow at our credit if It was understood that tbe present state of tbe currency was to continue The evils alluded to hy tbe Senator are, In my opinion, pa, J- Imaginary l nope me oui win pan Mr Chandler said under this bill tbe Secretary could do what he pleased with 12,700,000 U0l of tne public aeot me cm wrs evil, ani uiy cvu lr oi Under It there would be no limit to siiecufntb He did not tblak tbe Secretary of the Treasury would aeeept such vest powers If be (Mr 0 ) was becretary, bo certainly would not consent to acccrt tueh We do not know that the present Secretary of the Treasury will always continue In bis poatUon. I hae no doubt that he Is honest, but I do know that a msn who wax not bonest could, with tbe power which this bill glees, pake more money than any man in the United States ever did before Mr Anthony said, In bis opinion, It was noi saTe to count on an Increase In tbe receipts Irom inter nal revenue this year For various reasons given by blm, Mr. A. thought that tbe reoelpts would be less than left year Mr Sherman agalp alluded to tbJ enormia bal ance In tbe Treasury, and tbe fact of tbe Secretary retiring bonds and notes before they are due With the great and growing prosperity of the country, our enormogs resources, the cotton crop of the tioutb, lo , no one doubted oar abUliy to pay the national debt at Us maturity He was willing to rlva the Secretary tbe power to nrorlds for avcru Inglnlebtelneis, bat eoald CP no ne enlty fir this bill He thought that if the t-dont-irr nf the Trsasu would sit In his chair and Issue hli war rants to mee! scru!n pdebtedness the debt would take care of IteC1.', P fr from thinking that th future of tbe oountry wai gloomy, ho lokal unon It as rlurlous and full of bone. TLe amount of money U circulation was Ies than tint In England or Franoe It was only .2701 030,000, He would repeat his opinion, that If the hsareterr of the Treasury would keep out of the stock roar ket, and pay bis debts as they became due, the people of the United States would take core of the currency Mr. Chandler was opposed to going out of tbe United Ststes to borrow money, and going ou tbe English or French stock exchange, cap In band and begging for a loxp. We la4 carried on the war without foreign aestetenoe, and be should be mor lifted to think; wi should oik It now JJe woull move to strike out 'either" lo the eleventh line of first seotlon, and "or elsewhere" In tbe twelfth line of the same section Mr Fenenden. There Is nothing In that to aa- thorUs the contraction of " foreign loan. It Is only to render the Feeretery Independent of a Wall street combination or any omer combination. sir. eJonnmn mat u aiu Mr Onibrle said there was no one who bad nor faith than be tn the ability of tbe Government to pay Us debt', In fact In tte ability to pay much tuiro If Decenary i but he thought It eminently just and proper to provide for tbe payment of the uem as soon as pension, ana gare uia ursriy ap proval to the policy of tho Secretary Mr Howe was opporeJ to putting a provision In the bill to enable the Secretary to girto foreign countries and j-eJJIe the credit of the country. If saeh a neeerity aver had existed, It did not now. He was not one of those who thought It ever bad existed Air. Morgan said large dlccretlonary power must be lodged somewhere, and why not with tbe Secre tary of tbe Treasury It was no new thing to him. Our debt was anprecedently large, and measures should be taken to reduce It He ex pressed himself as In favor of tbe policy of the bee rs tary. Mr Cowan was In favor of tbe bill, and could see no possible objection to it It was a very simple remedy Mr. Chandler said this hill was a surrender of the Treasury and all Its safeguards Into the hands of one man. a power which no man on earth ever possewed before If there wae any necessity,!1 would Le wl.llng to grant it, but there Is none, and why give him absolute control over the entire Indebted ness of the country. M hat Is our condition? Our receipts are lessening the debt dtlly, our credit le materially Improved and Is Improving dally, I be lieve with the Fenator from tblo, Mr. Sherman, that If tbe Secretery will only sit behind bis desk, and pay the accruing obligations, everything will com right. I am eorry thit the Senator from Maine (Mr Fesnenlen seemed so anxious to prers this bill to a vote to day. I am desirous that a full Senate should be present. In my opinion, If Caeaal.lt will be tbe mot dangerous bill ever pasted y Congress I move, Mr President, to recommit the bill to the Committee on finance Mr MeDongall said Ibe late Secretary (Chief unittco uiese) never naa anyiinanoini poucy j.ue prevent Secretary came Into olQce with the confi dence of all in bis ability as a, financier, and has eitabliabed a pi'lcy Senators seem unwilling to trust tbeSveretary, but It Is a feature of republican rovernments that cubllo servants must be trusted. tne queiiiou was iaeb lakan on ma motion oi Mr ChanJIer to recommit which was decided In the negathe Ibe queillon was then taken on the amendment tMTared by Mr Chandler) which was disagreed to by a voti of 3fi io 6, those v tl g In tbe affirmative being Messrs Chandler, Howard, Howe, Norton, Sherman and Wade The bill having been read three ttino j, was parsed by the follow I "g votei laie Msmi Antony, Brown, Vncktiew, Clark, Coa irowaa traifla, Davl, Ooollttla.
