Washington, Jan G Sk.iat. The
chair laid brfore the Scnaki the 1-IUt
from the secretary of war transmitting
plana and estimates for a permnuuut
wharf at Fort Monroe, Va.
Also a letter from the postmaster-general,
complying with the call of the
recent Senate resolution in respect to the
appointment of postmasters in Maine,
alleged to have been procured through
the influence of S. S. Brown chairman
of the Democratic committee of that
State. This communication caused a
sharp political debate between Messrs.
Hale, Vest and Voorhees, at the conclu
sion of which it was, on motion of Mr.
Hale, referred to the commtttee on civil
service reform
Amoue the, bills introduced and ap
propriately referred were the following:
By Mr. Hoar, to fix the time for the
meeting of Congress. It fixes the time of
meeting of Congress in 1880, and every
second year thereafter on the first Monday
in October, . and : in lool and every
second year thereafter the first
Monday in November In introducing
the bill Mr. Hoar said that all must
concede that the business of the country
was increasing so fast that longer ses
sions of Congress were necessary.
Mr. Gray called up Mr. Beck s recent
resolution of inquiry, regarding the
payment of cutonis duties in coin and
the application of that coin to the pur
purposes of the sinking fund, etc. The
resolution having been ri ad, Mr. Gray
said he would vote for it, but for reasous
very different from those which actuated
Mr. Beck and those who thought with
him. Keviewing the history of our
coin legislation,,, the act of 1878,
Mr. Gray ;says,! was tentative. It
was based on the idea that
silver would'shortly reach an interna
tional ratio with gold. It was the hope
of the attainment of this international
ratio that actuated many thoughtful men
in voting for that bill. This -hope had
been disappointed. The. object of the
bill had been defeated, and the dollar,
worth ninety-two cents in 1878, was now
worth less than eighty cents. Pas
sionate invective on the part of the sil
ver men would not enhance the value of
the silver dollar. - The actions and rec
ommendations of the President and the
secretary of the treasury I on the silver
question were right. He (Gray) was
not here to defend any oae, but economic
laws were always the same. He was
neither a bondholder, nor the son of a
bondholder, but he was for paying the
bondholders' : in honest i money. The
true issue in question was whether the
true relation Of gold and silver cou!d
be reached by a continuance of the pres
ent plan Of silver coinage. He asserted
k tk;,m..i k Tk .ii.
coinage bad si rved a useful purpose s a
subsidiary coin, but no country desired
a basis of silver coin alone or to see gold
supplanted by a silver basis. The
gold standard bad kept ns in easy rela- ;
tions with the rest of the world. Bi-
metalism could not be reached by any
one country ! alone. France had long
aii tonndi hr ailvef oinrfi and 1
should we by continuing our present j
cause drive out of : the
several hundred millions of gold
vvuuvt j
coin ? It we ' did so we should
have contraction ended, the act of 1878
having failed; to raise the Value of silver.
Porsitttnnc in nnr nrnt. nlnn nf aiUor
coinage would bring us to a silver
standard. , We would be descending to
a basis of a 10 per cent on the dollar,
and thus the government of the United
States would in, fact be scaling its own
States would injact l
debt. This would be
a public misfoT-

vmaai uibuoucb. iuauy ui muoo wuu
favored silver coinage were not, in Mr.
Gray'8"ppinion, solid, conservative busi-
ness men, but those of a speculative
turn. He desired to see silver in cir-
culaiion concurrently with gold, but the
iauure 01 me uesv euoria 10 get into mat
condition was sufficient proof that our con
tinued coinage would be of no avail in that
direction. We were all embarked on the
same great voyage debtor and credi
torone fate awaited us all. We should
therefore honestly endeavor to adjust
our differences in order that the interest!
of all our people j may be honestly and
fairly advanced. Mr. Gray was listened
to with unusual attention. His voice
was clear, resonant audi well sustained,
and at tne close of his remarks be re
ceived the congratulations of several of
hi. !
his senatorial friends.
Mr. McPhcrson followed upon the
same subject and on the same hue with
Mr. Gray. On the conclusion of Mr.

disfranchising women remains therefore
a part of the bill. An amendment pro
posed by Mr. Kdmundj was agreed to,
providing that marriages within but not
including the fourth degree of consan
guinity shall be deemed incestuous and
punishable by imprisonment. Mr. Mor
gan opposed the provision for trustees
to administer the affairs of the Mormon
chureh. He characterized polygamy as
an .offense that "stinks in the nostrils of
civilization." He thought if anything
was to be dene about it, it should be

deal only with the property of that dim ch.
The committee had feared to abolislilihe

the clear right "b do, and h-d confined
tho work of toe trustees to th. temporal
affairs of the church, 'luy cmioiittee
had not wished to make a precedent for

Apart treui the feature of polygamy,

belief of other sections. After further
debute as to tho provisions relating) to

Mr. Edmunds saying he woujd then
ask the Senate to "sit it out" aud bring
the bill to a vote.
Senator Voorhees gave notice thst
Wednesday, January 20, he would call
up his resolution expressing the sense of
the Senate ou the death of the late Vice
President Hendricks. '
Mr. Morgan offered a resolution,
which was agreed to, directing the com
mittee on Indian affairs to consider and
report whether a wise policy in the
civilization of the Indians required the
establishment of a school west of the
Mississippi river, based on the principle
of military enlistment, instruction
and discipline of Indian youths, with a
view to qualifying them for service in
the United States army.
Mr. Blair, from the committee on ed

A Never Morn in Colorado.
Denvku, Col., Jan. 0. A storm of
unusual viitlenc(3 prevails in the moun
tains. The Li'.iekades ou the railroads
ht tlie wort known for years. The
Signal service officer here says the storm
originated iu tho Hoeky mountains four
duys uifn, when the first frigid weather
began. At towns iu northern Colorado
the thermometer varied from twenty to
thirty degrees below zero. At Tennes
see Pass, above Iicadviille, the mercury
was thirty-three degrees "below. Tbi.
intensely cold weather was accompanied
by high windn, blowing from ihe North.
The zero-laden winds blowing East and
striking a warmer atmosphere caused a
heavy snowfall iu Kansa. The worst
phse of the storm is the necessarily dis
astrous effect it will have upon the cattle
interests. It is thought that the stcrm
will cause a high death-rate in southern
Colo ado, not because of the snow par
ticularly, but because of the intensely
cold weather aud high winds. Along the
Arkansas valley herds are drifting
to the river aud showing unmistakable
evidences of exposure and fatigue. In
the mountain valleys, where thousands
of cattle were lately driven from the
overstocked ranges of the plains, the
ptoriu will prove to be excessively se
vere. The larger portion of these val
leys are out of tho roach of telegraphic
communication. In the valleys heard from,
especially iu western and noithern Col
orado, lying west of the couiinental di-
viae the snow is reported to be unu
sually deep and the streams frozen.
Great lots will undoubtedly be the re
sult. Tlie unparalleled, cold weather in
north IScvr Mexico will cause great dam
age to the mmntotb herds grazing there.
Hundreds of suow-ahovelers, a dozen of
snow-plows aud all the lqcomotives avail
able have left Denver to battle with the
drifts on the railroads. The wide scope
ot country lying between tW Kansas
line and the base of the mountains
escaped with only a few inches of snow
fall, but was the dominion of an arctic
wave.

THK CIVIL BIRVICS LAW
Special Dispatch to the Baltimore i Sun.
W a suinoton , Jan. 5. One of the
features of today's proceedings in the
senate was the introduction of a bill by
Senator Vance, of North Carolina, pro
viding for the repeal of the cjvil service
lawa and all additions and modification?
that may have been made to the original
bill. Senator Vance says he introduc
ed his bill in good faith and at the1 pro
per time he will deliver a speech in ex
planation of it. He does not expect it
to receive; many votes in the Senate,
but from private conversations he his
had with members of that body he
believes there is a majority who
would like to see the law repealed yet
they have not the courage to face
pnblic sentiment and vote as they ! feel,
lie says the civil service system . is a
farce and a sham, which the rank and
file of the Democratic party do not
understand, nor do they have any 'faith
in it. During the last presidemial cam
paign the Democratic . stamp speakers
started ont to talk to the people about
the tariff. An order was Bent out from
headquarters to drop the tariff question
and let the battle-cry be ' 'Turn the ras
cals out." The Senator says he went
down into his own State and informed
his people that if they would come up
and vote for Grover Cleveland and hon
est government the rascals would be
turned out and honest Democrats ap
pointed to fill their places. The people
came out and voted as they were in
structed, but now, when they come
forward and ask why the -rascals have
not been turned out, they are informed
that a mistake has been made, as j it is
now discovered that there are no rascals
in tomce, and tne campaign cry was
simply gotten up to deceive the people.
"In the weak and sickly platform,' say
the Senator, "we were promised' that
the tariff would be reformed. There
will be no reform of the tariff during
this Congress," he added very emphati
cally. "Then we were told thai the
rascals would be turned out, and even
that promise has been broken." He
said he did not wish to come oufj too
heavily on the administration at one
time, but will have to oppose its recom
mendations on the silver question Jl and
also make a speech against civil service
and endeavor to show the follies of it.
