Mr. Cockrcll, from the coinmittoe on mili tary affairs, reported favorably the bill providing that copies of the official lotter books of the executive department of the state of North Carolina, now in thej war department, be furnished by the' secretary of war to said State. Mr. Locan, from the committee on military anairs, reported lavoramy !Do; 2 1 1 a 1 am - a J . . . ii .1 kill V" n .1 1 r. .1 till providing for the purchase of the old produ exchange building and site, tiofis and remodeling of the buildinir Mr. Logau'asked that the bill be consid ered at once. The location, he said, was much more convenient than the building now used for military purposes of the government, being much nearer Governor's Island. The bill, on Mr. Logan's motion, was read the third time and passed. The president pro tempore asked per mission of the Senate to be absent after tomorrow for the remainder of the week, and that Senator Hawley be substituted in his stead as presiding- officer during that time. Unanimous consent was giveri. Mr Brown presented a memorial from the legislature of Georgia relating to what is known as the Trezevant claim, ft recites that Congress had appropri ated $35,555 to pay claims, but the money had not been paid and the amount had been dejeided against the credit of the Staje ofja demand not recoguized by the State of Georgia; and urgitig Con gress to provide for the payment of the money. Mr. Logan asked what was meant ly the words "A claim not recognized by the State1 of Georgia." Mr. Brown said it referred to the direct tax. The petition, oni Mr. Logan's suggestion, was referred to the committee on judi ciary. Mr. Becki submitted, for reference to the committee on finance, a substitute for Mr. Eustis' recent resolution which, after a preamble similar to the preamble of Mr. Beck's former silver resolution, provides as follows : Resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives, etc., that the secre tary of the treasury be and he is hereby directed in all pavmenta hereafter made f :.ot j j . bunds and purchase or. wuku- 1 per cent iof the entire deM of the Uuited States for the sinking fund as now required by law, to pay out gold and silver coin as nearly as possible in the same proportion in which gold coin and certificates and silver coin and cer tificates were received during the pre ceding fiscal year for duties on imported goods. Mr. leck said the finance com mittee had bad Mr.1 Eustis' resolution up this morning, but had net fiuisiuu its consideration. In order that the committee may have the subject fully before it, he asked a reference of his substitute to that committee and it was so referred. : ; Mr. Pugh resumed his remarks on the Beck. ; silver j resolution. The London press, he said, had joined the money kings of our Eastern States in demanding of Congress the suspension of silver coinage. They wanted to sweep away every-kind of monev but cold. Then indeed we -should have no god but gold and no king but the national banks. Silver, Mr. Pugh insisted, had not been treated fairly, either by our publio officers or the banks, but it had held up as well as i it did in spite of them. Whenever silver gets the same treatment as gold under the natural laws of supply arid demand, if then it should not hold its own, Jlr. r ugh would deem the controversy settled, but he had no doubt that silver would come out right in any case. Mr. Pugh expressed his willingness to support any change; in the existing law that would withdraw any paper currency un der $10 or even $20, so as to give the entire field for the use of small bills .or small change to silver and silver certifi cates. He advocated the passage of a bill heretofore introduced by Mr. George, which Mr. Pugh said would give the national banks a better opportunity of becoming acquainted with silver. Mr. Vance followed, lie . said the present attempt of the moneyed men of f-K. w.l,l A A .... -.w. a 1 ...... was one of the grandest conspiracies ever seen. It was a tyrannical and cruel blow directed at the common people of all lands. The i r .L i. i . i i i i wauuer ui iue atuicaiug party suuuiu near 1 ... nl.i.r, .tfrl.w c K 11 m. K ,1 r.

After considering the question of the wh-ilo amount ot money in use in the world, Mr. Vanca went on to show that !i in ii i ii ir.

The mines of the world wore yielding only 1 per cent increase ot the present moueV supply, yet we were told that we must ohliterate U4 per cent ot money supply, that being the the -atio of silver in the world's stock of coin. The success of the efforts t a'cramst silver would rf-Hiilt in thfi (rpat- - . Mi imlnatrial calamitipji.' Kwt anAntM 0f property would shrink. The only exceptions to that result would be gold and aebts. Which would be increased to the extent to which' property would have shrunk, Javery public creditor, Mr. Vance said, took our silver dollar glailiy, except only the( class that dis tinctly and solemnly agreed in writing to take it. But we were told that silver had gone down This was not so much true as that; gold had gone up. Mr. Vance read from late financial re j ports of ; the Havana markets j to show j that American silver ' dollars were at a premium over j the silver coins of England and France, i In the course of all his economic read i ing, he said; from Moses to Sunset Cox, j (laughter,) he had never met a case so I weak as that made now by the enemies 01 silver, lie bad heard many cases ar- . gued in school-boy clubs and in cross roads debating societies.

Tlij rapacity of avarice, he said, was so rcpuguant to the moral sense of mankind that it always sought to disguise its ugliness by assuming the garb of virtue. So the bondholders and bankers told us that they wanted the silver coinage stopped, n6t for their own ad vantage,' Oh, no, but for the Sake of the poor working man whom they preferred to their own chiefest joy! , Mr. Vince ridiculed this pretension and said the war on silver was in the interest not of those who la bor but of those who speculate' in nymey. In jreply to the statement that the people would not take the silver dol lar and that when issued it had always come back to the treasury, Mr. Vance contended that the law required our officers to pay it out and if it came back to pay it out again. If the officers of the government had done their duty arid complied; with the laws, there would have, been no! difficulty with the silver dollar. They bad refused to pay it out. There never had been another instance in our history in which our officers had boldly taken on themselves absolute dis cretion as to whether they would i or would not execute the law. The money lords of the time were- the real controll ers of our monetary affairs. They wore the successors of -the feudal lords of mid dle ages, but they did not have the same class of persons to deal with. "Of one thing I can assure them," "Mr. Vance said, "and that is that in this country, where the people rule, silver is not go ing to be demonetized." Mr. Brown remarked that owing , to severe hoarseness he would prefer to postpone till Thursday next the delivery of his remarks on the silver question. and Mr. Maxey stated that he too would th-aeate' Bame subject. The Senate at 2:45 went into execu tive session. At 5 o'clock the doors were reopened and the Senate adjourned. llocoB. The speaker announced the appointment of Messrs.

Mr. Reagan took the floor with a long and carefully prepared speech upon the financial question, advocating the double standard ot value, condemning the na tional banking system and arguing in favor of applying a portion of the sur plus in the treasury to the gradual pay ment of the public debt, lie earnestly combattcd the proposition to .suspend the coinage of the. silver dollar, main taining that such a course would have the effect of making a few more million aires and adding largely to the army of tramps.

News has just reached here from a farm house several miles north that Minnie Dishner, Nebraska's sleeping beauty, recovered consciousness Sunday, January '6, the seventieth day of her hysterocataleptic trance sleep. The roads have been im passable until the present time, and the news of her recovery could not be re ceived before. The girl feU into the trance, from which she has now revived, October 2(i last. During j the long in terval she has lain, to all appearances, a lifeless being, with the exception of respiration and pulsation. When Miss Dishner awoke her mind was apparently clear .and unimpaired. Her appe tite and general feelings are good, but her arms and legs were paralyzed, she says. She was conscious during the whole time of her protracted traDce, but though she exerted her utmost power to evince her consciousness, she could not move a single muscle. She Bays she had no physical pain until the fortieth day of her sleep,, when an elec tric battery was applied. Since then she has suffered a thousand agonies of body, and at times it seemed as if her mind would give way under the strain, and she now complains of terri ble physical sufferings in consequence of the shock to her system. The doctor in attendance says, however, that Bhe will recover in a short time and will also regain the full use of her limbs.

Their .claims are also before the city council, but it is by no means probable that either body will pay. Every indication points to the possi bility which we. have always maintained that there will be no general or system- atic opposition by the Republicans in the Senate to the nominations made by tic Prcpident. This too inT spite of the fact that much organized party pressure has been brought to bear if reports are to be believed upon Republican Senators. The dignified attitude of the President in regard to the ; matter has it ia said ' Weakened very sensibly the purpose that was undoubtedly entertained by some of the more partisan Senators to object merely for the sake of objecting. The alleged danger of objection on theDem-. ocratic side .has also faded into nothing-' 1 ncss. The President has made the sua- . -. pensions hej has been called upon to make for good and sufficient reasons. The more, experienced Republican Sena-, . j tors recognize his. right to make, re niovals and realize the met that it is the best party policy to submit gracefully to , changes that are inevitable. They will in all probability be guided in their action by the character and capacity of each nominee only. j Honey.
