The chair laid'before the Senate Kiddle-bergers-
resolution offered yesterday j
directing: the comm ittee on puolic build
iBgs to report to the Senate the aggre
gate amount of money, recommended by
that Committee at this session,: to bo ex
pended by the'governnient, .
i Riddleberger said he had no objec
tion tO?any specific measure reported by
the ; eotnmittee. But he ' objeeted to
these "omnibus" schems by . which 29
public building appropriation bills on
t&e calender were taken up, passed yes
terday' without any writteia report to
slow the necessity for buildings and by
which nine other similar bills : that h:iH
ooly just been reported were put
through on the same day on which they
wfcre reported without giving time for
their 'consideration! The resolution
rkfl agreed to.
. l3fr. Hoar offered the following reso
lution, for, which he asked immediate
c4nsideration :J ;
i J Resolved, That the. committee on li
brary consider and report at an early
day the expediency of the erection at
thje seat of government of a statue or
monument' to the memory of the late il
lastriouB soldier, Gem W. S. Hancock
.In offering the resolution Mr. Hoar
said, that when : the announcement was
made yesterday of the great public ca
lamitv that had occurred in the' death of
the illustrious citizen named in the res-
otauon, uie oenate very property ivi
lowed all precedents in like cases and
what Mr. Hoar was sure would have
'been in accordance with the desire of the
distinguished deceased, that is to say
tne oenace. proceeaea witn ine puDiio
business but it was proper that
proceedings should a.t ionce be initiated
fat paying a fitting tribute tolhe mem
ory of the deceased.' Thei reeolution
'was agreed to. ; "
pn motion of Mr. Call, the Senate
took up Mr. Eustis's recent resolution
-catling on the secretary of the treasury
fo information as to the refusal of the
aasiBtant treasurer at New 1 Orleans .to
receive shipments of silver, and to issue
iiliver cirtificatea therefor. '
pit? Call, while not : o)je;ting to the
resolution, ; defended the action; of the
treasury officials in the matter referred
fo xxe aiso aeienaea xne oraer; issueu
byithe treasurer to the! assistant treas-
mrer at New Orleans, to the effect that
that officer should not receive or receipt
for more "silver money in one day than
the; clerical force could count On that day.
Any other order, Mr. Call said would
lead to a loss by the government. Ho had
been informed by the ttvuur r that in
one ease the gorernmcnt had; bcu 1 eld
responsible!: for ia discjrepaiicj of $25,
000, growing out of the fact (b the re
ceipt! had been given for in-ney j to be
epunted." -:Mr. Coke read tli oction of
the law relating to the issue of silver cer
tificates. It was an absolute right, be
said, of every citizen Who bad $10. in
silyer to deposit them and receive there
for a . certicate. The .qaestito, was
not whether the treasurer had techni
cally ebmplied with the law but i had he
In realitv violated it. He hadno jkaffy for
those who violate the' law; he cared not
whether they were Republicans or Dem
ocrats. Fot one he proposed to bring
aoy omoer : who is guUty iof violating
the; law to the barf of public jus
jtioe Jand I public fopinipn.j Tbe
banks in ' Galveston were 'attempting
llo establish a discount on silfer because
they could not get certificates from the
sub-treasury at flews urieanrf. Air.
Coke contended that the treasury ; of
ficials were; ostentatiously taking credit
jfoxf supporting the public credit; and ex
ecuting the law, while doing, everything
in their power to accomplish directly i
contrary result.; tie read correspond
ence to show, as he contended, the prao
ticat refusal of the assistant treasurer st
New Orleans toexecute the law of 18T8,
and the approval by the treasurer at
Washington - off such refusal. There
wre 240 newspapers in Texas, and Mr
UOke knew put tour oi tnem mat sup
ported the '.executive department of the
government in its war on stiver.
Hr, tfecx interposed to say that the
issue was narrowed down to this: If
silver coin Was presented and certificates
demanded, then be J)ir, uock; benevea
that the officers were in default in not
isiratng them ; but if the com was to be
deposited and "a receipt to be given for
ity not certificates, to be used as
money,'ihen the ; officers! were not in de
fault. ; ' IV-
Mr. , Teller said that jnncttv naov Deen
heard frm time to tiiue of the subserv
iency of. public men to executiveHonu
i.iiMu. but there had never been seen, so
exalted an- example of independence c

Not only then, but since, those 'servants
of the people had scorned to be in accord
With, the executive, nreternne to be
rtarht. -i
Mr. George believed tlae action of the
assistant treasurer at flew Urleans en
tirely in accord with? the law. ! He
(George) differed materially with the
secretary of the treasury in regard to
the silver question, but that officer wa?
at least : entitled to have his action re
viewed in t'a light of the law: The facts
Were that a country bank shipped $25,000
by express to the sub-treasury at New
Urleans' for account ot another bank in
Niiw Orleans. The express , agent 1 bad
no authority to receive silver certificates
; fr that silver and what he demanded of
tlio distant treasurer was not silver
certificates but a receipt. Mr. 1 Coke
asked if he had not been the custom un
dor all former administrations for the
assistant treasurer to give receipts, un
til the money was counted. Mr. George
declared fufh a custom; illegal, if it ever
existed; Mr. Coke inquired if there was
any law against it. Mr. George, replied
that for a States' rights' Democrat,
a strict constructionist,; like his friend
from Texas (Coke) to make such an
inquiry was rather singular
It was sufficient that there was no law
to authorize it. Mr George proceeded
to show; that there was no law author-1
ising such a custom and contended that
if the assistant treasurer had taken the
silver dollars and issued a receipt for
them, the government would make
itself the guarantee for the safe keeping
of the money against thieves, fire tc.
Mr. George entered at dome length into
the legal aspects of th question, and
insisted that the action Of the treasury
officials in the case under consideration
was in every respect sound and in com
plin nee with the law. Mr. Custis said
lie had telegraphed Mr.! Roach at New
Orleans to ascertain the purpose of the
bank shipments of silver. His reply,
received1 today, was as follows:
"Shipperf sought to get rid of the ex
cessive silver by shipping to the sub-
treasury and asking that silver cer
tificates therelor should be turned over
to their . Mew Urleans icarrespondents.
The sub-treasurer declined to receive
from the express company because, first,
he doubted the propriety of the treasury
becoming the intermediary between the
county and city banks; second, for lack
'of clerical force. I feel assured that
provision tor sufficient clerks would
remedy everything. l.Jn. xvoach.
Mr. Coke sid that Mr. George's le
gal argument might be correct so far as
the technical point involved was con
cerned, but there could be no doubt that
the spirit of the law of 1878, requiring
the issue of silver certificates in certain
cases, had oeen aeteatea Dy the assist
ant treasurer at New Orleans.
Mr. Edmunds' inquired why the ad
ministration did not turn out this Re
publican and put in a Democrat who
would understand his duties under the
laW. . .
Mr Coke "Is he a Republican?"
Mr. Edmunds "I do not know: I
suppose if he is as bad as that he must
be." .
Mr. Coke said he did not care what
the man's politics were. .
Mr. Edmunds repeated his inquiry as
to the politics of the assistant treasurer
at .New Urleans whether he was an old
officer or some new man.
Mr. Gibson replied that the officer
referred U had been appointed by the
present administration. ; .
'Well, ; remarked Air. Edmunds, in
a regretful tone, "it is a very bad state
of things." (Laughter.)' .
The debate closed and the matter
went over f '.After an executive session
the Senate adjourned.
I .' ; I i H0C8B-.
Mr. Blanchard, of Louisiana, offered
the following series of resolutions :
Resolved, lhat this House has learned
with profound sorrow of the great and
irreparable loss which the ; country has

good man, Major-General W infield S.

London, Feb. 10. Thug far today
there has been no renewal of the
rioting in this city. A dense fog pre
vails and favors the congregation of
roughs Small crowds of loafers are as
sembled on the street corners.
The estimate heretofore made of the
losses inflicted by tho mob Monday ap
pears to have been far too Small. The
official estimate places the amount of
damage at 80,000. Various socialistic
and labor reform societies threaten to
have another demonstration at Hyde
Park next Saturday to be attended by
contingents of laborers from the eoimtry.
The shops are being eloped .-ini barri
caded throughout the city. News was
received at 3 p. m. in the city that a
mob of roughs which had assembled at
Dcptford was marching towards the
city, smashing windows and wrecking
fronts of houses along the route. A panic
prevailed among the residents of the por
tion of the city which the mob was likely
to traverse, roiice ana troops were in
readiness to prevent the mob from as
suming the proportions of that of Monday
and committing similar excesses. At 3
o'clock the Deptford mob reached the Hop
exchange, in Soathwark, nearly five miles
from the starting point of the march.
The mob was enormously increased by
constant accessions during its progress.
All the shops were closed. The police
secured possession of all the bridges
spanning the Thames and pre
pared to resist all attempts on the part
of the mob to cross. The authorities
warned all tradesmen doing business in
the Strand, Cockspur street, Pall Mall
and Regent street to expect disorder to
night and to immediately take steps to
protect their property. The mob on its
way towards the lhames swung through
the New Kent road, and Newington
causeway, iney sacked several small
shops along the way. They stopped at
the immense establishment of Wm. Tarn
& Co. This establishment covers the
ground from and including No. 5 to No.21
on the New Kent road aqd 165 to 173
Newington causeway and is devoted to
trade in linen, silks, men s and women s
clothes, boots and shoes, carpets, iron
ware, bedding, furniture, etc. Tho
building was under policfi protection,'
but the mob overran the officers Wked
the store and when they retlrediUit the
building badly wrecked vThe - police
were informed that the mob ' was com
posed of a large number of roughs who
had organized to attack the city empo
riums and banks. Such; stores as re
mained open closed and barred their
windows, ready to close their doors at a
moment's notice. Groups of anxious
people stood about in the streets dis-
cussing tne situation, j. ne newspapers
printed extras and these were eagerly
bought.
A 6 p mi it was announced that the
mob had dispersed. ; No conflict with
the authorities has yet occurred. A so
cialistic meeting is to be held this even
ing at Cumberland market.. At 5.30,
two and a half hours before the hour an-
nouncea tor tne assemblage, over a
thousand men were on the ground.
