IBuspeeal to the Demorrat.i
WA.st',oeow. Dee. it.-Whatever mny have
been the shuffling, harking and filling of the
Ad-niatsltration on the Mexican question, thereo
li at idet a prospect that sonmthing tangible
wiill be 4one by Congress, which has taken hold
of tWe subiect in earnest, and is proeceding
with nitelligence. The Committee on Foreign
.A*lhsU has cited Secretary Evarts to enlighten
oabgrese as to why the l)laz government has
ot beebrsecognlipd. as well as to have the bene
iltofthediplomatic correspondence between the
tWOb governments since the present Administra
tlOn catse into power. The Forelgn Allairs
Committee will particularly make inquiry as to
whether the threatening troubles hetween the
Unflted Statee and Mexico cannot he sett led by
diplomatte correspondenee. The nommittte
will begin its labors at once, and meanwhile the
Military Committee will continue to hear whlt.
atrm offiers have to nay about a war with Mex
This committee has had this subjiect nder
eoaslderation for ten days or more, and lice
taken the testimony of a large noumher of army
officers. The inquiry ias been illremt,el solely to
the disposition of the armed foriis on the llit
G~rade, and the extra occaRion which promtted
the Department Commander c(eneral Ord to In
atade Mexican territory,
At its meeting this morning the Military
Cotmmittes appointed a sub-committee t. con
sider the testimony already taken with refer
once to the Texas border troubles. This sub
committee will sit during the holiday re-es;,
and endeavor to have a revert ready to submilt
immediately after said recess.
The new Mexiclan Minister, Henor Zamntonn:
hhe accepted an invitation to appear before the
committee to-morrow.
Gen. Ord continued his testimony to-day.
Benator Maxey read letters to the iominittee
from the Secretary of War and (len. Sherman
bearing on the border troubles.
The committee instructed SRenator Maxc" to
lattoduce a bill in the Senatea aproirintling
@fOO,00o to establish four additional forts in the
iio Grande border.
ehnator Maxey introduoed the bill in the
Renate. and it was placed on the calendar, This
ctlion effectually puts aui et1nd to the mysterious
processes which Evart. calls diplomatie. and
takes the Mexican question out of the reach of
the Jagglery of the Administration. Congress
will act promptly, and the suspense in which
these affairs have so long been held will soon
terminate one way or the other.
There i no doubt that the behavior of nour
,.amaeona since his arrival here has done much
to elevate the Dira administration in the esti
tmation of Congress; and the cour'age and
frankness with which the Mexican Ambassador
courts inquiry and seeks a hearing have ntitlie
put the trilling and pettlfogging of Evarts to,
the blush.
If Diar is as strong in his control of Me xlio
as siamaeona represents him to be, there can be
no doubt that Congress will soon reiomanize his
government, and take measures to bring about
an understanding. whether the Administrat ion
desires it or not. Enough has already been de
veloped to indieate thai considerable majoritles
of both houses of Congress are averse to war,
and desirous of a permanent settlement of the
Mexican difficulty on any basis short of ab
solute humiliation of this government.
Moreover, the opinion is quite general in
Congress that Diae has not been trestedi fairly

The Nenate.
WAsatNtwros. Dec. lt.--Mr. (trover. of Oregon
who has been absent since the first week of the
special session, occupied his setat in tth ,onate
to-day.
Nearly the whole of the morning hour; was ,
eupled In the ptresentation of poeititot fronm all
tarts of the country in favor of an am.ndment
to the constitution so as to prohliit the states
rom disfranchising cittl ns on rac'ount of sex.
and eskingthe appointment of a eommisnlion to
inquire Into the alcohollu liqulnr Ittafle. and
urging Congress not to take atny action con
earning the revision of the tariff until it shall
have a certained by Inquiry the condition of
the bus ness of the country, and that tie logis
lation such as nl thlopinion of prnatidal
buaness men will lromtote the bulsites pros
perilt of the country. All thetict.ltions were re
lerredti to appropriate nommitltees.
A largo number tof hills wet introduced and
referred to approp lato committees; anmong
them one by Mr. I)avis. of Illinois. to establish
a court of appeauls.
Mr. Conkling. of New York. submitted a reso
lution providing for the appointment of a com
mittee of seven senators to inquirn and report
Whether any, and if so, what measures cnm he
devised to promote commercial Intercourse
with MxtUo, and to establish a just and peace
ful condition of affairs on the border be.tween
this country and Mexico. It also authorizes the
oomlmittee to send for persons and papers, and
to vi.tt such places as it may think proper in
making the inquiry. Agreed to.
The enate at l:30 p, m. resumed considera
tion of the resolution of Mr. Matthews. declar
ing the right of the government to pay honds i n
silver, and Mr. Kernan, of New York. spoke in
opDosItion thereto.
Mr. Kernan opposed the resolution, an aid
that Congress had said that the bonds asuld
be paid In coin, and it meant the toin which
was at that time the legal tender of the country.
To attempt to pay it now in a difflhrnt material
would be bad faith. He said the government
Ia- Ih. not ooined sliver dollars enough to pay the
bt, and if they should, and the people had to
take silver for their bonds, they would have to
take it away in earls. He said ell'or was never
practically used for large payments, and in fif
teen years the government had coined only
.ao.sO, silver dollars.
Mr. Thurman said that could not be so.
Mr. RKernan replied that he took it from the
g mint reports.
Mr. Thu man was about to read the number
of half dollars and quarters. wihen Mr. Kernan,
interrupting. said that he said and meant silver
dollars.
Mr. Beck said there were sixteen million
trade dollars alone.
I Mr. Kerman said they were not money: they
were only tokens that Congress providdtl for
the trade betwteen the United States and China:
they were not a legal tender. He said he meant
the dollar of the fathers and only eight tnillionll
of those had ever been coined. That was an
honest dollar: but the resolution now before
them provided for the payment of the bonds in
dollars of 412 . grains. The government eloot
ed, in 173., what it would par its bonds in, and
it elected to pay in gold, and not in silver.
Now. when you can make a coin of 8 per cent
less value than gold. and can save that mu,-h
by paying your bonds in it you want
to pass a resolution to make it lawful for
you to do so. Is that fair ? The
holders of the bonds have a right to say that
such a course would not be honest? Will it be
right to pay the bonds issued since 1873 in
silver? People who have come here since 1573
and have purchased our bonds when we were
telling the world that gold coin was our only
legal tender, will not consider it honest or just
to be comielled to accept their pay in silver
coin. a dollar of which consists of only 412.i
grains. We took gold from them. and we oon
tracted that they should take our bonds and
give us gold, and that is where we got our gold
ancd i they had failed to t the United
SLates their gold we should have brought
suits against them to compel them to pa
over the gold to the United States

New York--The Excise Iaw and the
Montgomery Charter.
New YOruK, Der. ll.--Corp.ration Couned
Wlitniey sent ia note to Mayor Ely thin at-er
noon. saying that in his opinion the Mayor has
no power under the Montgomery charter to
grant lienamesr for the siale iof liquor. He re
mrarked that he tdid not propose to comirrlcate
the liquor lquestion any furthher by expressing
any opinion in regard to tihe law. but that, hbe
-would communicate isle reason for his opinion
later.
At the meeting of the board of aldermen, this
afternoonn. a long and Imp rtant resolution In
relation to the: Montgomery charter was adopted.
The'l preamble opens as follows. viz:
Wheruan, a. se:tiron 2r, of the Montgomery
charter, granted in 1730. is most emphatic in its
terms in granrting to the mayor, aldermen and
cornmmrnunlty of the city of New York. by the
nmayor of thre city, aluHolute and unrestricted
control of the licensing ,f taverns, tc,.; then
comes a det iled review of the section in ioins
tion, the gist of which is, that the mayor, alder
men. etc.. and their sucenesos forever shall
have power to give and grant lieenses. The
whole section is a very lengthy one. and eon
siders the nature of excisalle matte rs. licenses,
fees and other suber-ts. specially important at
this time.
The resolution which contains this preamble
is brirflv as follows:
" nsoled,. That his honor, the mayor, hbe and
is hereby resp4'ctfull y and earnestly requested to
assume for :adl in behalf of the city of New
York, control of the question of licensing such
pD:sons i.s he shall think fit to keep inns, tav
erns, etc.. and slcl excisable or strong liquors
within the city of New York or the precincts
thereof. in order to recovetr back to the city
this valuable franchis-, and to prevent disrepu
table practices of oppreselon and cruelty now
daily inflierted through the agency of so-called
excise commissioners and commisafoners of
police upon hundredsof our fellow citizens."
Manage a Baby Show, Will Yeu?
NEW YORK, Dec. i1.-The grand musical en
tertainment and distribution of prizes in the
great national baby show, in Steinway Hall, last
evening, could hardly be called a s . far
as the inside audience were concern , ly
about fifty persons were present.
If the numbers outside, however were taken
into account, it wasasweelinf triumph. Never
was such a congregation of angry and indig
nant mothers seen before in New York. They
assailed the name of Mr. Hitchcock, the man
ager, with all the opprobrious epithets that the
Ingenuity of enraged womankind could invent,
and denounced the whole enterprise as a heart
less fraud from beginning to end.
