FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
Regular Session.
8KXATE.
Friday , February S, 1876.
After the presentation of a few petition! and
the transaction of the routine business of tbo
nornlng hour, which occupied less than fifteen
minute, Mr. WHYTE moved that when the
Bcnate adjourned to-day It lo to meet on Mora-
Mr. ALLISON, having chargo of thorllrcr
bill, antagonized the motion, but It was agreed
to yew, 28 nays, 21.
Mr. DOltSEY, from the Committee on the
District of Columbia, reported a hill to amend
lho charter of the Franklhi Insurance Com
pany of tho District of Columbia. Placed on
Ibo calendar.
The morning hour having expired, the
Senate rcsuuHxl the rons'dc ration of the silver
bill.
Mr. HIM. referred to the agitation of the
eoiuare nucstion tbrouchotit tho country, aud
amid the newspapers were engaged In the very
patriotic laoor ot pruning mat ojic nan oi cxm-im-wi
wui Irttiirlit utt bv the bond -holder, aud
tbe other half by the bull ion-holder, and he
contrasted the action of thli Wly with that
of the French Senate, whlc disused of the
miration there In less time than ho had occu
pied lu cpcaklng of It, and by a unanimous
tow.
In renlvln to tbe arcuinent of Mr. Ill AINK
that Congress hod no constitutional right to
demonetise or atop the coinage of either metal,
he took the ground that Congress had, lu the
exercise of Its wisdom, the right to augend
tho coinage oi cither gold, silver, or copper.
Mr. II LA INK asked If his proKisilloti was
tliat Congress had tho right to refuse to coin
either-metal, and If one, why not both?
Mr. HILL wtd he held that Congress had
tho right to not coin either luital,
Mr. ULAINK propounded several Interrog
atories, and Mr. HiLLaald If the gcutltman
would take his sent ho would captain his
sjlcws
Mr. BLAINE aatd, Ik-fere taking bis seat,
wlf tho gentleman will permit"
Mr. HILL. No, sir; I will not permit any
further question.
Mr. MAINE. All right.
Mr, HI LI. then p-oceoded to say that he
favored tho sliver do lar, but opposed tbe bill
a ft came from the Huue It would afford
no relief from tho present financial cmtaras
mcut, increase the want of confidence, nreci.i
iatosneedllv further leciilatlou. and take Its
place In history as the pickpocket hill of
America, a iow amcuoineiuM wuuiu icuiciy
til this.
He objected to free coinage, as being for the
benefit of bullion holders at the cxeno of the
people. He opposeil tho unlimited coinage, be
cause it would prcventthecnluagoof gold, and
specially lie onnoscl maklujr silver an unlim
ited legal tender. Hecombatt d the dnlilnj
that re m one 1 1 tat I on would restore silver to It
value before demonetization Our elemoueti
cat lou was not the only cause of Its depreciation
Demonetization lu other countries had fob
lowed, the production had enormous!) in
creased, and the demand for siher to purr haw
tbe cotton of Iudli bad fallen off with the
fuller supply of Southern cotton. Union all
tb se causes could bo removed, the eflVct cou'd
not bo overcome. Me favored a limited colu
age of the silver dollar of 412 grains, to be, a
legal tcudcr for sums of $100 and less.
It had been said the UmeViolders obtained
their bunds at n low price. It must be remem
bered that the bonds were l.ucd when
the country was engaged lu a great
war. Ono paity hud powmnslon of tho Gov
eminent, and the ether was trying to drive
tbem from it. He belonged to the side that
was trylug to prevent tho bond-holder fiom
receiving anything for tho money he Invested
In the bonds, and did all bo could to 1 mcut
him from receiving the principal or interest
They hud failed, and he did not thluk It be
coming now to rill and clamor against the
bond holder who had taken the risk nnd
made a good bargain
A huc-aud cry had gone ont agalust tho act
of 1673. Ho did not i roposo to defend that
act; It was irrelevant to the present question,
which was not whether it was wise to pain the
act in 1873, but whether it was wise to restore
the siher now.
Mr. IIILLaraued that the bonds were uav-
able in coin of the standard of 1870, and If the
silver dollar proposed or Mgbcr weight would
not entitle the bond holder to rcuiveit, he
must tako the dollar of 412 grains. If siher
aiwroclated. it was his train ! If it depreciated
be must submit to the decline. A condition
of things bad arisen that neither tbe Govern
ment, the bond-holder, nor any ono else anttcl
tntcil If the Government insisted that the
bond-holder must tako tho silver. Hut would
H be wise to tako the advantage of this change
f circumstances? All mint be satisfied that.
Lice tho range this discussion had taken,
no more four per cent bonds could bo
negotiated The principal of the debt would
be left to prosperity to pay, but the Interest
must bo paid by this generation as wo went
along by not, then, to secure a low rate of
Interest and thereby beueflt the jKOple, pass a
law authorizing the becretary of the TicaMiry
to hsue bonds payable in gold. Ho would
neither defend tho Government uor the bond
holder. Ho would come together aud maku a
new contract on a basis of honesty aud fair
dealing. In reply to Mr. Eaton's remark
that there was uo danger from communism or
agrarian Ism. he asked If. when the eeutleiuan
remembeied that tho people of tl Is country
had been religiously educated that It was u
duty to destroy by force a property recognized
by law, his faith did not weaken Ho closed
with au appeal for the Inculcation In the minds
ef the people tbe solcmlulty of a contract
Mr. WlllIKKH argued that the Constitution
ef the United Mates provided that gold aud
silver should bo the coin of tbo country, and
that tbe law of contract should be faithfully
executed. He believed that any State bad
the rawer to declare cold and silver a legal
stau Jard, and that Concuss had not the power
loch si i go tills fundamental luw oi inoiauu
He areunl that the uracthul effect of recoil-
nUtug silver as legal tender wan rhown In tho
MDbnldlary silver coin a legal tender, though
worth Intrinsically less than the trade dollar,
stood higher than tho latter, which was not a
legal tender u a "rag uoiiar" worm imriu
sically nothing could be brought so near par,
inert) cnum oe nouaiiKcr oi an uuuer hiiiu
tlon of silver coin. He believed theexlgeii
clcs of the country justified the experiment
ef rtiuonctlzatlou, experiment being the only
tmichstono of Buccrss Limited coinage and
limited legal teudir would be partial renio
dice, but only partial re medics
Ho insisted Unit all tho financial legislation
since thu war had been In the Interests of the
creditor class, uud held up Mr. HlLl "a propo
sition to limit the Ical teudcr of tho silver
ruin as a mcasuro to make a gold currency for
the bondholder add a sliver currency for the
laborer. He believed we should remouetlze
sliver, make it a full legal teudcr, and trust to
God and our strong right hands for returning
property. Differing uith Mr Eaton on this
financial olicj , ho paid a compliineut to htm
and the few Northern men who defended tho
Cuuhtitullon dining thu peiiol of tho war,
Mr DAVIS (W, a) was recognized, but
yielded to a motion for an executive session,

Mr.JOXCS(ObU)oppo4ed the blll,ant ex
pressed surprise that Democrats should fivor
It, bectuso it was thatsortof a claim which
Mr. Tlhlcu in his letter ou the subject said
should not ho paid, as it was clearly a claim
crow Ine out of the operations of the late war
But he oi posed the bill mainly on the prin
ciple that tho Government should not be com
pelled to pay lor property taKcn or ooBirojcu
in a State in rebellion.
Mtasn FINLEY and ROBIKbOX (Ind.) de
fended tho Justice of the claim.
Mr. CONGER argued that there was nothing
to take this precedent claim out of tho list of

officer who took tha propcrt , could not make

Mr.LDEX Inquired whether Mr. CoaB,
as a member of tho Commlttco on War

Mr. EDEN" said that Mr. Congi k had not
oven opposed tho bill in the hut Hou&e, after
It was repotted front tho Committee.
Mr. CONGER replied that tho gentleman
ronhl not PLfflin lincrsonnlcontroversary with
him, atauothertlme, and when ho had more
than fifteen minutes, he would meet him ou
that Usuo. Ho could not tell how fir these
war claims would reach Hewasgl'd to hear
tho gmtlcmau from Texas (Mr. Mil La) dls
claim any purpose to pay the war claims, but
he feared the effect ofcKtabllshlng a precedent.
Mr TOWNSUNI) believed that all claims
should bo paid as a matter of Justice where
the claimants w ore loj ai wucn a conuact was
mode.
Mr. PRYE believed that this wasa Mr, Jnit,
and proper clalmv against the United States,
and as tne united mates nau not, gouo nuo
liquidation there should bo a recovery. After
thu proclamation of Mr Lincoln the United
States had no more right to take this property
In Alexandria than It would nave nau to taae
property In New York The law should com
pel tho United Htatcs to pay for all property
tikeu from a loyal citizen.
Mr. II ANNA objected to the payment of the
claim becauso there was uof a written contract
and the precedent would be bad
Mr. HKluuif rud tne mil appeared to mm

It was great want of prudence to take men who
knew nothing about ships on such a vessel for
such a voyage. He did not comldcr the Me

saw that hers was a verv grav a case, that she
hod, as he thought, little chance of recovery

ne required. As bo was about to leave, the
question was put, "When should we send for

as ho looked at the poor woman and then at
her wretched surroundings, 'I don think vou
need scud forme again. She cannot possibly
get better; and to save to you further trouble,
I'll Just writo you a certlficnto for her burial."
ud ho did After the doctor departed the
woman got better raiddly . She has now com
pletely recovered and goes about carrying her
