This acftorron the part of Congress
has raised storm f excitement in
the North, which finds its lparalle
only in the. tremendous excitement
at the beginning of the war. Boston
is ur in arms against inflation. , r The
solid men, that is the moneyed men
are aroused to- an' extraordinary
pitch orfclt&ih&t?TAndiemtf
meeting was held at Faneuil Hal
some days ago, at which the follow
ing resolutions were adopted, after
mu ch speech-m akmg : ;;
THE KESOLXJT10NS.
Whereas, durinsrthe war of the rebellion
in the exercise of a power once denied by
tne bupreaie court or : tne, , united; -fitateg,
and afterwafas'affirmed by a bare majori
ty of that tribunal, Congress forced the
' national promises to pay money ;, into , cir
culation as money ; and whereas this is
sue of paper mpney, justified, bys Congress
and the Supreme Court only on the ground
that the overwhelming exigency of the
case required it, was accompanied by eve
ry pledge wnicn : nonoraDie, Honest ana
patriotic men could give that- the debt
thereby created should be paid as soon
as the nation possessed the ability to
discharge it : and whereas., the politica'
party then and eyer since responsible for
the government of. the country, has often
renewed these pledgesin its platforms, m
the public speeches of its representative
men, and in , tne inaugural, and annual
addresses of the President : and whereas
the first aqt approved by,UljTsses S. Grant,
as President, provided, as a measure, "to
strengthen the public credit," that "the
faith of the United States is solemnly
pledged to the payment in coin, or . ita
equivalent, of all the ; obligations of, the
United States not bearing interest, known
as United States notes ;" and declared that
'"the United States, solemnly pledges, its
faith! to make ' provision, at: "the earliest
practical period;' for the ' redemption of
the United States notes in coin';" and
whereas both political parties claimed the
support of the people at the last Presiden
tial election by promising to adopt, if
successful, a currency policy consistent ,
with national honprtrthe Jrepublican pro-
fessing "a confident expectation that: an i
excellent national currency will be ' peif
fected by a speedy resumption to specie
payments," while the democrats solemnly
declared that "a speedv resumption to
specie payments is demanded alike by the
highest considerations of commercial mo
rality and honest government;" there
fore Resolved, by the'eitizensi ofBostonf and
vicinity in Faneuil Hal assembled : - if
1. That the passage and approval of any
act to increase the issue of irredeemable
paper money would be not merely a fail
ure to keep, the plighted faith of the na
tion, but a deliberate violation of a sa
cred pledge.
2. That the refusal bf Congress to apply
. the surplus of the ample revenues of the
past few years to t'.the redemption of this'
United States notes in coin'' has cpnver
: ted one "of the most dangerous weapons of
'', war into an instrument of injustice and
... oppression in a time of profound peace;
, r that it has continued' rto aggravate the
; v evils of uncertainty and wide fluctuations
" in values which an irredeemable currency
al ways, brings,, .and has led directly to (, the
financial hills Which is now sought to cure
by fresh issues 'of the currency which
caused them.
3. That those members of the Senate
and House of Eepresentatives who have
voted in favor of the pending currency
measures have thereby assailed the credit
and the good name of the United ' States,
have cast a new dishonor upon its unre
deemed promises and 'have inflicted a
grievous wrong upon every, clae?? of; the
people. . r
4. That, as paper money sustained only
by an indefinite promise is the speculators
and not the people's currency, the evils of
a new issue will fall chiefly upon the pro
ducing sections," while its delusive and
temporary advantages will be seized by
the great commercial cities and the centres
. of free capital ; and we repel, in the name
of Boston and New England, the insinua
tion that Our hostility to the pending
measures, by which we can profit, safr. sthq.
expense of others, arises from self-interest.
. , ,
5. That as inflation , always v raises the
, prices of articlespf-consumption more rap
; v idly than' it raises wagesany further issue
' of irredeemable paper would ; do special
injury to every man and woman depend
. ent upon "wages'ora isalaryi.qf n i t ibtjr ;
- 6. That the citizens of Boston confident
- ly appeal to the -President of the United
States to, refuse hiS approval ,j0; a-,
every bill which involves a violation of
the pledge which he made it his first offi
cial act to approve.; They; rely upon.- his.
convictions of right; np6n' his Jealousy of
the national honor, wpon his reiterated
opinions in favor of an early resumption
of specie payments upon his characterise
, tic adherence to the course which his rea-
son and his judgment commend, and upon
t his promise to "interpose a veto to defeat
measures which he opposes.'? ) t ' u
.7. That the chairman, of tW. meeting,
with four others whom he may select,
shall constitute a Committee to present
these resolutions, acconipanied by ajne-
morial to be prepared by theniiEn: ac0or

The report that his Congressional

very properly , contradicts it. We

Messes. EnnibBS : - After four long
months occupied in debating the bill on
finance, the Senate has began to show
si gns of coining to a solution o f that: all
important subject. The long debate is
now beginning to bring forth the fruit. The
example set'by the House the fcther day
of passing the legal tender hill, seems to
have had its effect on the Senate, , and al
though thev have as yet passed no bill,
relating to finances, yet they have done
more xn witf;.pasi wee wwurtia iw.,
passage,; than they h aye ; done for three
montns i past, f ine long winaea , argu
ments have been done away with, and the
voting on amendments have been begun
This is a host accomplished in itself, as the
subject is now .fairly before the Senate, and
will remain? before it, - until it is nnaiiy
disposed of- One of the most important
amendments adopted is one that fixes the
amount of notes at $400,000,000, the , same
as the House bill. : This amendment was
sharDiv combated bv those who are m
favor of specie resumption ; but alter an
exciting debate, it was adopted by a vote
of 31 yeas to 26 nays. This is regarded as
the test vote upon the financlil question,
and as defeating the specie payment men
in the Senate. . The finance bill will most
likely; be passed by abbut the same vote
There mav be a slight . difference, but it
will amount to only one or probably not
more than two votes, from this. This is a
sauare "victorv -. for inflation, and the
only delay in the speedy passage of the
bill, will be offered by those in favor" of
resumption, who will impede its passage
by the interposition of amendments. The
finance bill, with all the amendments, will
most probably be passed the latter part of
the week, or at the longest, the first of
.next week. Both of the Senators from
your State voted in the affirmative.
The Transportation Bill, introduced in
the House by Mr. McCrary, has, after a
short but animated debate, been passed by
the clpse vote of 126 yeas to 115 najrs.
The bill was vigorously opposed by the
Democrats, on the gronds of being uncon
stitutional. ' '
The Deniocrats voted almost solid against
hV-bnly five, voting for it among whom
was your representative.
The District Investigation is still in ses
sion and is most likely not to conclude
its labor for some six or eight weeks to
come, The testimony elicited this week,
shows rather bad for the wiry authorities.
One witness testified that he had been of
fered a bribe of $5,000 by a member of the
Board. This is rather a bad showing for
the Board, especially as the witness was of
their own political faith. You can touch
nothing in ' which the Board have been
engaged without turning up corruption.
Washington is just now excited over the
fuss between theiconductors and the car
company. The company have introduced
on the line, a patent punch, which tallies
every fare, and which can only be open
ed by the company. When the box is
opened, the conductor has to have the ex
act amount of money to correspond to the
number of fares in the box. This is a
most, effective check upon the conductors,
who are charged by the company of hav
ing robbed them out of considerable mon
ey, in consequence ot this patent punch,
being pHt on the cars, a good many of the
conductors have left off work, but the cars
are running as usual.
