In executive session the Senate con firmed JasR4Jolly, Collector of customs of the leche district of Louisiana, and Lansford L Lewis, attorney for the eastern district ot Virginia. Senate. Mr Conk ling, of New York presented several petitions of citizens of Albany, remonstrating against the passage of tne Bland silver bill; lata on the table, the bill nving been report ed to the Senate. In presenting the memorials, he said they were signed byfmefr 'representing not only money and property, but en terprise also, and they express d the oninion that the passage of the bill wouia oe prnuuiciai 10 ine nonor anu " ' " i - - v . ' J credit of the government. He also presented tne memorial oi the Albany board of trade against the passage of that bill; laid on the table. At the expiration of the morning hour the Senate resumed the consider ation of the unfinished business, being the resolution of 1 Mr Matthews, of Ohio, declaring the right of the govern ment to pay the interest and principal of the bonds, in silver, and Mr Merri mon, of.Norlh Carolina t spoke in favor thereof. He said the subject was wor thv of the most serious consideration, and be trusted a free and frank expres sion of views would lead the Senate to a wise and wholesome conclusion. He would discuss the resolution suhmitted bv the Senator from Ohio, (Mr Mat thews), and not the expediency of re- monetizing silver. tie wouia iiever consent that the honor and good faith of the government should be impaired in the slightest degree. The naked question before the Senate was whetuer - . 11 1 1 the governpDt couia lawiuuy pay its creditors' sitter of the standard value of July14, 18701- s -1 Heben jeWiewetLwt some length the financial Wgislanon flince 18)32, and quojd from yarirfus act to show that all uie bond Wsued were payable in legal tender fora of the UnKed States. Wben theseA4ctB' were piissed, there were but tvrp species .of cmin established by law, toit : gold ansilyer, and at the contrct stood between the govern ment an its creditorsjChe government could jffl its debts infljoth or either of these cmns. The fact VAX there waimnre or lesof a particular find of coin in cirj culation when the Mmds were issued, did not affect the contract at all. It had been, argued that fehe creditors of the government did not have" the silver dollar in . view when they bought the bonds, because silver was not then iu circulation. That made no d.ifference. The law then provided for the eoinage of the silver dollar is well as the gold dollar, and" had it; been intended to exclude , the silver,' dollar . when -,the bonds were issued, why was not a prof vision inserted for that purpose ? That the govern m ent had - th -righ t to pay ;Krtiasiri silver was clear, and he could hot see how! any such action could be looked upon as .repudiation. He spoke of r therbuiipesSf prostration and suffering existing through ou t h e country, and argued that it was the effect' of unwise legislation; The finan cial legislation since; the war had been calculated Idl enhance the : value of the bonds of the government iri the , hands of its creditors., t In the natural order of things -after : then close - of v tbe war specie1 payments- would ave ret turned, and prosperity existed through out the country; :but the interested bondholders could riot wait for things in . their oatural order,4 It ,as too slow. It was thought that a, rapid con traction of the! p per currency, would restore prosperity and- the early ire sumption of Cspecie' payments, a Ths course of contraction has beeri pursued, but unhappily none of the good resusts anticipated followed. , The yoiume of paper currency in circulation had been regulated by' ti e' government and not bv the requirements of business since the panic onoo... j.ioium uwmvui? ished save government bonds.

The Eastern Question Fully Discussed and Eng land's Position Defined Some Sharp Sparring. London, Jan 18 In the debate on the address in the House, Lord Gran ville said the utterances of Beaconsfield during the reces had been couched in a tone of belligerent neutrality, and had differed from the sentiments ex pressed by his colleagues. If the assurances given by Prussia in regard to the British interests were unsatiafac tory, Parliament should have - been called together immediately. If satis factory, the only effect of summoning Parliament now was to cause a feeling of insecurity, , Lora Beacousfi eld said the summons to Parliament was issued wben there at first appeared to be an opportunity for the inauguration of peace negotia tions. The Porte's appeal to England to intimate her readiness to open peace negotiations was, , In a iueasure, made at the instance of the British govern ment, although it was at the same time spontaueoualy adopted by. the; Porte. Beaconsfield repudiated the newspaper reports concerning the government's policy, and strongly re-i pudiated tne accusation of a diyision in the cabinet. When the government, after mature deliberation, decided upon a policy of neutrality, they were uot influenced by considerations in regard to the value of Kars and Batoum, but had to consider the policy and condi tions of many other countries. The government never varied from the decision they had first arrived at Lord Beaconsfield declared that he had written no letter on public affairs during the reces, and had spoken only once, and then in the presence of his colleagues. o-which occasion he had. with thejanpraval, declared tne gov- erume tional Condi licitous British statem interest1 rhetorical expression, bu seemed to take it as a st Peace is an universal en speaking of British ifljereets government the sources meant iden of wealth oraafeguar of the strength of the coun they spoke thud they were told that i was a misutke to suppose that there peculiar to England, they should hide it did not think 'the was an interest or if there was, in a corner. He government, by defining British interests, justified the imputation of selfishness, as all coun tries frankly declared that they were actuated by tbe same motives He did not admit that the government's having summoned Parliament imposed upon them the duty o immediately explaining the apprehensions which caused them to do so. Suffice it to say that negotiations had been brought about which might or might not be successful The government considered that there were British interests which must not 4f endangered- i -the contest goes on. rariiamem approves ot tne policy of conditional neutrality and the guarding of these interests The least they could do was to give the government the means of guarding them. . Beaconsfield pointed to the opening of the present negotiations as proof that England was not isolated or un influenced. Probably more difficult negotiations than the present were never commenced, bnt he hoped that they might leati through many obsta cles to the termination of the present struggle. There was another kind of isolation besides that arising from decay. At the beginning of the century England alone asserted her national independence, and if the same cause was again at stake, or if any power again threatened tbe world with a predominence fatal to national liberty, he felt confident that the House would not fear the charge of being isolated, if it stood as one in maintaining such a cause and fighting for British inter ests. He concluded as follows: "If in the negotiations British influ ence increased, as God grant it may, I will express the unanimous senti ment of the government that that in fluence will be used for the great interests of humanity and for securing stable and enduring peace ; but if we are called upon to defend the rights and interests of England; if our pres ent hopes' and proffers of peace are unanswered ; if there are circumstances that demand that we should appeal again and' again to Parliament for meario of vindicating the honor and interests of ; the country, '! am certain the government will never fail to take that course." (Loud cheer?) " The Duke of Argyle aid Beacons field's speech was brilliant but evasive. It was to be noted as a significant fact that it made 4)0 mention of the inde pendenctf and integrity of the Ottoman Empire.'1' If the5 government meant that' However long Turkey 1 resisted, Russia would be precluded from enter ing Constantinople, the gravest ques tions would arise. "'.i'S 'iM-: "'s The Marquis Of Salisbury emphati cally derfied that the cabinet was divided or ..

At Harmanli where tl i Bussian troops are said to have arriv d is an important point on his line of retreat to Adrian ople. If the Bu isiana , have gained that point before h m, as there is no reason to doubty he has not only Gen Gourko's pursuit tolbeat back, but will be taken in the flank by the column marching from EBkiiSaghra, while the forceposted at HaVmanli stands dw rectly in his front, aulieman Pasha's force includes a divisionhe brought from Bulgaria, the garrisons of Sofia and other towns up to Nisch, and Cha kir Pasha's army from Kainarli. . All, however, are by this time badly broken and w eakened by th eir hasty retreat and frequent encounters with their pur suers. Constantinoale, 9.40 p. M,, Jan 17.- A report current here to day that the bulk of Suleiman Pasha's army had passed through the enemy's lines, and arrived near Adrianople, proves to be premature. Nothing is known of the position of Suleiman's army. Constantinople, Jan 18. The cabi net conncitf to-day deliberated upon measures fir the defence of Constanti nople. T vo squadrons of Cossacks having arr ved at Tirnova, were sent to escort the Turkish peace delegation to Kereantik. The Turkish commandant at the fori ier place believed an attack was intenc ed, and blew up the railway bridge. London, Jan 18. A Russian official dispatch c ated Kezantik, January 16, says a recoonitering party of dragoons has broughiinformation that Suleiman Pasha is a Phillipopolis, and has given ordersVo burn everything. Ta tar Hazard ilk and hillippopolis are reported to hav burned. The Times this m ning in a leading editorial says nothin more satisfactory to the country, with espect to the m- mediate course on blic affairs, could well have occurred ban the declara- Hons which were y sterday made on the Queen's speech,! well as by the ministerial leaders the two houses of Parliament.
