ting the Sec y not to purchase any more
bonds for liquidation of Che public debt
until directed to do so by Congress.

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Washington, Jan 21. In the case of
the Home Life Insurance- Company
against Brame, from the Louisiana
circuit, the Supreme Court now decides
that the company cannot recover of
Brame for the killing of one McLemore,
the assured, by which the company
was damaged to the extent of the
amount of the policy, holding that on
principle and authority bhe action can
not be maintained in such a case. Mr
Justice Hunt delivered the opinion.
A bill has been agreed upon by Gen
eral Bussey and Major Tupper, a com
mittee from New Orleans, providing
for a steamship mail line from New
Orleans to Bio Janeiro and interme
diate points, and the same from New
York. This bill was presented to-day
by Eustis, in the Senate, and Gibson,
m the House of Representatives.
General Bussey will be heard on
Thursday next by a joint meeting of
the Senate and House committees on
Postoffices and Post Roads, to whom
the bills have been referred
Rev Wm B Derick, colored, of Rich
mond, has been in consultation with
leading members of the House of Rep
resentatives, urging that the general
government take charge of the Freed-
men's Savings Bank property, and pay
the depositors. Dr Derick holds that
the government and the depositors
have both been wronged, and that
someone ought to be punished. He
thinks this the proper course.
Collector Fernald, of the fourth dis
trict of Virginia, has his official papers
to renew his bond. He has answered
all charges. He continues in office,
anfi while making his new bond his
old bondsmen, are held.
The nomination- ot Potts lor post
master at Petersburg, and Mrs Jones
for Ashland, Va,1 were withdrawn from
the Senate, to-day, on account of tech
nical terms in their phraseology, and
corrected nominations of the same
persons were substituted. ,

Silyer dollar was a legal iterider cjyn of

er to " exclude " It ; from thecoindge "of
the countryi" .He -claimedj ha jth ere
could be' noi-legaloitender-i underi.the
constitolion except gold and silver;
He then referred to the argument that
GermanyrEnglandrand - other"Euro
o.ri gauntries had demonetized silver:
and asked, had it come to this, that the
x.iiAipn nf "Rnronean governments were
' o control the American republic? He
had heard of such alliances before, but
they were always to crush out the lib
erties of the people. . The policy of
demonetizing silver began with kings
and emperors, and ended with a repub
lic. He denied that it could be called
repudiation to pay the bonds in silver,
and said repudiation was revolting to
the people. He then referred to the
condition of affairs at the close of the
late ciyil war, and said it was necessary
then for a time to abandon that system
of finances which existed previous to
the war. But the necessity soon passed
away, and now the cause of all the dis
tress throughout the country must be
sought for in our present financial sys
tem. He spoke of abundant, crops,
and said the troubles and embarrass
ments now existing over the land were
not brought about by natural causes.
They were the work of man. He
reviewed at some length the various
financial acts of Congress, and in regard
to that of .1869, "to strengthen the
public credit," said it should have been
called an act to increase the burdens
of the people, as it was intended to
bind them to the payment of the debt
in coin. He hoped it was the purpose
of Congress now to lift up silver, the
much abused metal, which God had
decreed should serve man as money.
It has been urged that the act of 1873,
demonetizing silver, was passed be
cause silver was not reliable, because
it. fluctuated in value. He denied that
this was true, and said from the organs
ization of the government down to 1873
there was 'no legislation respecting
coinage which showed that there had
been any variation whatever in pur
silver coin. If any coin should have
been abolished on account of being
unstable in value it should have been
gold.
He spoke of the advantage of silver
money, and said .there was a large
channel in the business of the country
which silver alone could fill. It was
emphatically the money of the people.
In conclusion he advocated the
adoption of Mr Matthews' resolution,
because he thought it was for the true
interests of the country, though, of
course, he entertained the greatest
respect for all who differed with him.
The Senate adjourned to attend the
mock funeral of Victor Emanuel.
Washington, Jan 21. Col Adair, a
delegate of the Cherokee Nation, was
before the House committee on Terri
tories to day, and spoke for more than
an hour in opposition to the bill to
establish the territorial government of
Okalohoma, in the Indian Territory.
He argued that the proposition was in
the interest of land speculators and in
violation of treaties and the decisions
of the Supreme Court, and read from
the writings of Presidents Washington,
Madison, Jefferson and Jackson, and of
Vice President Calhoun, in support of
the treaty rights of Indians.
