I Mr. Kendall eald he never thoroughly a understood the difference between a bond I and a certificate bearing the aarae rate of c Interest, ite desired merely to elmpllly the bill by waking the debt of one de- o icrlptlnn.

Mr, Handall modified his amendment In I read aa follows: The Secretary ol Ilia i Treasury la hereby iDtbotlaed to Irne i bonda or cartlDcatea lu amount ol not e?ceeillng low 000.000, which shall bear in- 1 tereat at the rate ol I per cent ,.er annum, redeemable at the pleasure ol the Government altar two yeara from dateol laaue." Mr. Mytra answered the apeech made tctDi day* afO by Mr, fjord on the Hirer question, and intimated that the Government had been guilty oficeonaiitency upoc that question. Mr. Mills offered an amendment to Mr. Randall'* amendment making the bondf and certificate* redeemable in one year, and payable in ten year*. Mr. Young, of Tennessee, thought that no kind of refunding was necessary. Thin he gathered from the two gentlemen from Pennsylvania [Kelley and Randall] who were on opposite side* of the question. Mr. Randall, who advocated three per cent bond*, had stated that the Secretary of the Treasury could extinguish $270, OqO,000 of the deb' in three years, and tn? remaining!^ 000 could ha extinguUhtd in le*a than twice that time, lie had reached the couclualon that in less than seven years the five and six per cent debt would be extinguished by the accruing revenues of the Government. Mr. Price oppoaed a very short time for the three per cent bonds, fearing there would be no market for it.aud that the credit of the country would be impaired. Mr. Hurd, in reply to Mr. Myers, denied that be had ever uttered a word on this tl)or which had been inconsistent with sny speeches which he had made during his various political campaign*. He was iclad of the opportunity which was pre* isnted of undeceiving the people who nuid that in his cmnpaigu in Northern Ohio he pursued one course and on this il ior another, lie had always maintained that the demonetisation of silver bad worked injustice to tho people of the country, and therefore he had urged its remonelizatiou. He had urged (hat silver and g ild should stand no the same basis. He had voted to put 400 grains in the silver dollar, bo as to make it a dollar worth 100 cents. He repeated what he said a lew days ago that a specie resumption, based on the silver dollar of 412} grains, was a delusion and a euaro. Mr. Carlisle, referring to some remarks made by Mr. Youug, of Tennessee, said that that gentleman was in favor of leaving out standing in bands of national hanks bonds of Government bearing inlereit at the rato of 5 and 0 per cent, while tie [Carlisle] was in favor ol compelling national banks to receive bouds bearing S per cent interest. As to the economy of refunding or not refunding, the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Kelle)] bad submitted some figures m which it an* peared that iu order to extinguish the 037 millions of G's and O'o, by the annual payment of 00 millions, it would require from the puhliu tre sury 820 millions of dollars. He [Uarliele] held iu bis hand a calculation by which it was shown that if those bonds were refunded at the rate uf three per cent and paid iu precisely the name way that the debt would be ez> tinguishod iu exactly tho same time at the cost of $7j3 Q09.000. The question was whether (JouirreHM would save to the people these $78 000 000 iu a period of ten yostrs, or give it to the natioual banks as Interest on their bonds. Even should the three percent boijds rfce iu the mirket to a premium of three per cont, which wan hardly possible, still the whole premium paid bv the Government wonld only be about $10 000 000, which deducted from E/nuuuuuu woiiiii hm'i leave ? aaving to the people of 159 (XX) 000. Mr. IIa?kell expressed on opinion that not a country Nutjupa) honk in the Went oonld H'und on its foot if thin bill passed, (liing the Interest at 3 pr cent. Mr. Roed criticised the action of the 3poaker in making this question a party mention. (The Spesker had declared that ttie Democratic party had always been in favor of paying the National debt) He would not charge the Speaker with liav ing bolleved that, except for a moment', because he and his party had gone down In three pitched battles on that very auestion. He had merely desired to lounfi the partv toe-in and bring the party solidly to the question of the threepercent option bond. Mr. Randall stated that he had been somewhat amused at the lecture of the gentleman from Maine [Mr. Reed], hut he wished to remind that gentleman that the rules required that the .Speaker ahould be jn the floor while the House was in committee. The gentlemau'ti lecture might bett.er hays pome from any other member, for that gentleman had never gone very far beyond the linos of the narrowest partisanship. He therefore recommended the gentleman to oast the beam from his 3wn eye boforo he troubled himself about [he mote in the eye of hii neighbor. Mr. Heed wan sorry that the Speaker had taken his observations In the light of & personal lecture. The object of what lie said had beeu to call attention to the par tisanship which had been adopted in a matter in which there had not been the remotest element cf party until it had been dragged in by the Speaker. As to iho pngrgg tbot. he was a partisan, he whr llad to si? th'o 'wiftjtjotp of a good party ike the Republican party was bettor than ill the non-partlsanship that had ever looieu tne people. Mr. F, Wood said the House had yesterjay fixed the rate of Interest at .1 percent, ;nil the next question of Importance was is to how long tho bond should ruu. He regretted to flud that very intelligent genllemen were running Into what he conceded to benvory radical error la limiting :n a very abort period of tltno theontIon nf he government to redeem the bonda. The proposition that in Issuing a grave and I treat obligation nt the Government Donires* should predicate lie power to meet it it maturity on revenues not yet received, >uin itself a very dangerous one. The tenllomen referred to an existing surplus ind to the gieit prosperity til tfi(i country o show that the surplus was likoly tocinInue, but they were In error, not only as o the real aurplusol the reveou*, but also is lo the continuance of a large surplus, n 1872 the revenue from customs had )een 121(1000,000, and In 1870 It had fallen o 1180,000,000, It was evident to him bat for Congress lo farm out these sun>osed revenues In advance waa not the loilcy winch a great government slinuld idopt, but even admitting that this largo urplna would coutlnue, were the gentlf. nen willing to tie their hands in advance, o ho responsible by their vo'es for the onllnuance of the enormous burden im* icaed by taxallon7 lln would not conent to that.
