Mr Lamar, of MississiDDi. said he would vote aeainst the resolu tion of Mr Matthews for the payment of the bonds in. silver, and also the amendment thereto of Mi Edmunds to pay them in gold, because1 be believed they did not set forth fairly and fully the true issue. Ine senator from Ohio (Mr Matthews) had argued that the act of 1869, to strengthen the public credit, was passed on account of the apprebension that tbe principal of our public debt was payable in legal tender notes. In his (Mr Lamar's) opinion the argument in favor of the right of the government to pay. the bonds in greenbacks, at that time was stronger than tbe argument now addressed to the Senate in favor of the ' right of tbe government to pay the bonds in silver com. By the law of the land this green back currency was elevated at that time as a full legal tender for everything ex cept custom duties and interest on the public debt, and silver now is not a egal tei der. He concurred in the opinion that in 1869 the bonds were payable in greenbacks, but according to a literal construction of the contract he did not believe it wise, politic or statesmanlike now for the two houses of Congreas, in advance of any legisla tion, to proclaim f their position upon this sweeping and radical revolution in our financial system. : lie believed there was more than one method of remonetizing silver qp as to place that metal upon a solid foundation as a part of the currency of this country. He believed it could be none by tbe co operation of all those nations which de sired to remonetize it. He believed a ratio between the two metals could be fixed so as to answer all the require ments of trade, and business, but there must be co-operation; the United States could do nothing solitary and alone-. ' To restore tbe silver dollar to tbe ser vice of the world was an admirable ob ject, but he did not believe the Bland silver bill would accompiisn tne double standard ? . Its peculiar, element was that one metal alone should be the ruling metal and that metal must be silver. We had better adhere to green backs than coin this metal, unless the European countries coined it also. If the United States should attempt to have a bi-metallic standard, when the principal European countries had a gold standard alone,, tbe result would be that this country would nave a sih ver standard alone. Silver occupied a! subordinate position to - gold in the money of European countries and uon gress must legislate with deference to what exists; with reference to things as hf.v nrft-i The -Bland bill DroDoees that the old i silver i dollar; : should be" coined as a full legal tender. Would any one deny that the effect of this meas " ure would not beloto . drive the gold which is in this country far beyond our limits foreveri and remand us f to the mono-metalismiof sibe? ' Gold was the great machine which h swung the E reduce of one country ! to another in ulk, while silver answered the purpose of:dome8tic.'exchange.-i"4 ,j This bill was not advoeateo as a per manent 'measiire'ofj .finance, looking to the lastine infos uerity of-the poniitry; it was simply to relieve; the suffering people. f lf upon sound principles u wnnld administer to their relief, no one would co-operate j more readily1 than himself The neoole did need relief ; merchants were breaking1 labor was out ox -employment anu ipe ers of tbe South and West were groan ing under indebtedness.

Lost don, Jan ,24 --The Poet states in official form that a deputation of Con servative members had an interview with Sir Stafford Northcote, chancellor of exchequer, on Tuesday to urge upon the government the necessity of taking up an attitude; of earnest observation m view of the dangerous delays to the armistice interposed by Bussia. The chancellor admitted the gravity of the situation, and assured the deputation that the government would continue to adhere to its policy of conditional neu trality. The limes correspondent at Borne announces that an Italian squadron has been ordered to proceed to the Levant. The Standard's Constantinople cor respondent says the surgeon who had charge of the single train of ' cars for Constantinople filled , with refugees from Adrianople, states that 150 were Duriea on tne journey. The Daily Telegraph 8 special from Vienna asserts that Russia has invited Austria to take immediate possession of Bosnia and Herzegovinia. Count Andrassy hesitates. He acknowledges that the Russian conditions sufficiently respect Austria's interests, but he has discovered among them what he fears will be a casus belli for England. He has opened negotiations with a view of odujing the Russian demand. There is a general dullness in stock and other; markets, in consequence of the political, bituation, increased yes terday by tbe rumors of failures in the silk trade'at Lyons, and a large cotton spinning bouse at Hamburg. The lia bilities of the latter are stated to be from $500,000 to $750,000. London, 1.30 P M., Jan 24. British consols, all international stocks and British railway secureties are very flat. The Stock Exchange is agitated by rumors of the failure of peace negotia tions and of orders for moving the British troops. None. of these reports are traceable to any trustworthy source, and they are probably utterly ground less; - Though it is the general impression in most of the European capitals that the Turks will accept Bussia's condi tions, and peace will bo concluded, yet much' doubt and anxiety prevail,1 par ticularly in London and St Petersburg. The latest advices from the latter place say that more confidence is felt since the peace conditions were submitted to Austria, and were not bbiected to on her Own beh!f thus' minimizing the danger of anAbgloAustrian alliance. 5 pi M Sw otaffordi ISortbcote has j ust - notified the .House: of Com mons that he will, on Monday, move for sup plementary supplies for . the naval and military service. i - ; ; Itia said that the conditions which were bhly made known: at Vienna this weet, have baen .submitted to Prince Bis m arck and approved long , ago.

This Implies ani intention tb goto Constantinople and Qalipoli, since Turkey's regular army is concentrating there.

In the House, after Sir Stafford Northcote's ' notification. . he. Marquis of HartingtonJ leader of i he Liberal party in the House, asked how Sir Stafford would 'reconcile the inconsistency of t his witb the promise made on the first night of the session, not to make the proposal until the conditions of peace were received, and whether he would make any other statement calculated to allay anxiety, which is sure to be raised by the no tice.' Sir Stafford reminded the . House that he expected on the first night to know the terms of peace within two days. A week had elapsed since, and not not only was the government not in position to know, but considerable Bussian forces. were still advancing. Therefore the government think they cannot longer delay the proposal. In the House of Lords Lord Bea consfield, in response to a question put by the Duke of Argyle, spoke in the same strain as did Sir Stafford North cote in the Commons. Lord, Beacons field distinctly said that England was not going to be dictated to by any oth er power. The Earl of Carnavron, colonial sec retary, and Lord Derby, foreign secre tary, were not present. Ir is rumored in the lobby that the Earl of Carnavron has resigned. Great excitement prevails. The time nf the above dispatch about the Lords and Commons is 7 p m.J A Woman Murders Her Seducer.

He had renounced ber, and had notified the overseers Of the poor to take her to the infirmary This coming to her ears greatly incensed her, and procuring an axe she repaired to his room, where he was sleeping, and cut his head open.
