Mr. Ingalls, from the committee on
rules, reported adversely on Mr. Piatt's
resolution, providing for the considera
tion of executive nominations in open
Senate.
At Mr. Piatt's desire (Mr Ingalls
not objecting) the resolution was placed
on the calendar. Mr- Piatt said that he
would hereafter take occasion to submit
'o the Senate the reasons which, in his
judgment, made it desirable that the
Senate should adopt his resolution, not
withstanding the adverse report of the
committee on rules, j
Mr. Ingalls offered a resolution, which
was agreed to, directing the committee
on finance to enquire into the propriety
of making such an amendment to section
3571 of the Revised Statute's as may be
necessary to require the issue of United
States notes of the denominations of $1
and 2v In offering this resolution Mr.
Ingalls said United .States notes of de
nominations less than $5 had practically
disappeared from circulation, to the
silver dollars for debts Or that they bad
refused to sell merchandise for them.
Mr. Kustis replied that he undrstood
they were taking silver dollars only at
discount. ; : .
Mr. Morrill inquired I whether there
had been any diminution of the clerical
force since March 4. J
Mr. Eustis was not aware that there
had been. His criticism; he! said,
was this: That if : it had! been
the custom for the baukf to send their
silver money to a gubireasury, subject
to count, and to get a Sertificate o that
effect; this custom had been suddenly
changed as to the New Orleans sub-
treasury, though not changed as to the
sub-treasury at tew T-lrk. The New
Orleans subtreasury, :Mt. Eustisj said,
had refused to receive a shiDinent of
825,000 from the Mentis, Tebiwsee;
Bank of Uommeroe and the ;V aco.

the retail trade. He had ascertained by
examination of the statutes that the de
nomination of United States notes was
left entirely tb the discretion of the sec
retary; of the treasury, with the single
limitation that notes of denominations
less than SI shall not be issued. Mr.
Ingalls understood that the smaller notes
had been withdrawn and practically re
tired from circulation for the purpose of
forcing silver into circulation and there
by rendering silver unpopular with the
people. He supposed that If all notes
under 50 were withdrawn the result
would be that gold would be forced into
circulation. No effort of that kind, how
ever, appeared to hive been. made. Mr.
Ingalls impression was that the people
of this, country wanted gold and silver
as a basis of circulation, but did not de
sire to earrv either metal in their nock
ets. The people did. however, desire
the restoration of small U. S. notes, and
inasmuch as tney pay all the money in
the treasury from- their : own resources
and are the owners of whatever currency
there may be in the country, he did not
see' why the people's wish should not be
gratified. He pad, therefore, offered
his resolution
Mr. Eustis offered a f eslution direct
ing the nnance committee to inquue
whether it had been the custom for the
assistant treasurer at New Orleans to
receive deposits of standard silver dol
lars from shippers of the said coin and
to issue to their correspondents at New
Orleans receipts for silver, subject to
count, and to issue silver certificates after
the count of ? said dollars so deposited
had been made; : ana whether said
custom if it. had ; prevailed had been
changed by instruction of ihe treasurer
of the United states and the reasons
therefor: also whether such a custom
was hew in force at any other sub
treasury; also whether there was an ad

He (McPherson) wanted to know if it

be asking too much of ihe government
that it should order the sub treasuries
to become intermediaries for the deposit
of silver sent by one bank to another.

was necessary there to enable the sub
treasurer to carrV ' out the law. Mr
Eustis stated that; the cashier of
national bank at New Orleans had writ
ten him, stating that shipments of silver
dollars bad been made by ; banks in the
interior to their correspondents in New
Orleans, but that the sub-treasurer at
New Orleans had refused to receive the
silver dollars on deposit and that that
refusal had been approved by the treas
urer i of the United States. The only
sub-treasury south of Baltimore being
at New Orleans, th . business : of
the'? States of Teunesseee; Ark
ansas, Mississippi, Texas, Alabuurii,
and others with the treasurer of the Uni
ted States had to i be done through the
New Orleans sub-treasury. It therefore
became a; most important question
whether that sub-treasury was con
ducted in compliance with law and with
recognized and approved customs. It
seemed that the law in favor of the cir
culation, transmission and deposit of sil
ver dollars had been practically sus
pended by the officials of the United
States. What was the consequence? A
strong prejudice against the silver dol
lar. Mr. Eustis had received informa
tion from; another cashier of a bank,
giving the startling information that
country merohants were ; refusing to re
ceive silver dollars except at a discount.
. Mr. .-Dawes inquired i whether sub
treasuries were required to receive sil
ver dollars, the property of private in
dividuals, on deposit?
Mr. Eustis replied that the holders of
silver dollars had by law a right to de
posit them in a sub-treasury and receive
certificates therefor,
. Mr. Coke read the provision of law on
the subject, to that effect
Mr. Chue asked whether Mr. Kustis
meant that merchants had refused to take
clined to have anything to do With it,
and the treasury department had said:
'You are quite right; the sub-treasury
is not to be made a! convenience, in
such a case decline to receive silver that
you cannot count? and Issue certificates
for the day it is presented
Mr Uorman deprecated the use of the
treasury department as a convenience
between three or four banks, involving
the payment of express and other
charges by the government- This
would be the silver iden run mad. He
was not opposed to silver. He believed
in silver, but he believed in an honest
silver dollar.
Mr. Sherman said that if the transac
tion under consideration involved a re
quest from a bank that an assistant
treasurer should open an account, with
that bank for silver dollars deposited
.with the i sub-treasury,-, the government
official .was right in refusing to open
such accounts. Mr. Sherman said the
inquiry was entirely proper, and that
the Senate had a perfect right; to any
thing on the executive fiUs Cither re
lating to this subject or to executive ap
pointments, suspensions or removals
This precipitated a dcbte upvn the
question so long pending in: caucuses
and comuiitfe meetings and secret ses
sions, as to the right of the Senate to in
formation regarding removals. I

1 As foretold in a former letter to the
News and Observer, Senator Sewell's
bill passed the .Senate Friday, increas
ing the annual appropriation to : the
militia of the . diffV rent States from
$200,000 to $600,000. As before inti
mated, the House may still further in
crease the appropriation i to $1,000,000
(the amount asked by the national con
vention of militiamen) and, if so,; the
Senate will doubtless concur in the in
crease. 1 ' ' yl.-: . ;
