A resolution was off ered by Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, for reference to the Com mittee on Foreign Relations, and it was 1 so referred, calling on the Secretary of i State for copies of all correspondence : between the United States Government j and the Chinese Government, since the promulgation of our treaty with China, ! having reference t the enforcement of treaty provisions. A resolutian to pay the expenses of Judge Underwood, of Virginia, in con testing a seat in the Senate, which res olution had laid over since the special session of 3he Senate, was laid before the Senate and on objection by Mr. Allison to its present consideration, it went over. Mr. Morrill addressed the Senate on the silver question. Mr. Morrill premised with the remark that the elaborate speech of the Senator from Kentucky(Beck) to throw the bur den of rejoinder on friends of the ad ministration. "I do not mean," he continued, "to encroach upon the priv ileges which so many Democratic Sena tors appear eager to enjoy of coming to the rescue of the President and Secre tary of Treasury against the rathei cruel attack made upon a cardinal meas ure of tbe administration, as I know the fate of those who venture to interfere with family quarrels; but this measure, by which silver might be maintained on a par with gold, so worthy of all accep tation, I fear will not have, after the hot demonstration of the recognized leader of bis party in the Senate against it, that unanimous support to which it may be fairly entitled. In the first place let me say that there are no par ties so far as I know, in the Senate or out of it, that propose or that have any wish to demonetize tilver. To charge otherwise is the basest assumption and unworthy of the arena of fair debate. Everybody is willing, nay, anxious to keep as much of silver in circulation as can be done, and keep it at the same time at par with our gold coinage. The only hostility to silver arises from what seems to be tbe fixed and passionate purpose on the part of !eome of its ad vocates to promote such an excess of silver coinage as will drive gold coinage out of the country and leave our vast trade and commerce based upon silver only. In reaching this position of silver monometallism, it is impossible to be blind to the disastrous contraction of the circulating medium of the country that would at once occur, for when the mo ment arrives that gold commands a pre mium it will all beheld as a commodity for sale, and not for circulation so small as 5 per cent, premium being aa productive of universal hoarding as 25 I per cent. ; and no possible advantage to 1 our people could be expected from fol lowing the lame and feeble example or TnrU;. nr Mexicn in utilizing a silver cur- rencv only.

At the conclusion of Mr. Morrill's speech a running debate followed upon the silver question, participated in by Mr. Beck and Mr. Teller upon one side and Mr. McPherson and Mr. Morrill on the other, with occasional remarks in session. At 4:50 glhe doors were re- : opened and the Senate adjourned. HOUSE. In the morninz hour Mr. Matson, of Ind.. on behalf of the Com mittee on Invalid Pensions, called up the bill increasing the pensions of widows and dependent relatives of sol diers from S8 to 812 per month. Mr. Matson stated that the bill had received the unanimous approval of the commit tee. A very careful estimate, made less i than two vears aco by a gentleman who passage, but ue naa prepared an ameuu ment repealing the limitation clause of the arrears of pension act. which he hoped gentlemen would be willing to vote for. Mr. Grosvenor.of Ohio, while heartily in favor of Mr. Brown's proposition, an nounced his intention of voting against it. for fear that it might impede the pas- sage of the act. e u, nr.,1 orrolncr th hill an d its collateral issues were made by Messrs. j For CountUs VrSoLaMSS!0'1 Bragg.

The first bill on the calendar, however, was the Senate bill for the purchase of the old Produce Ex change in New York city, and Mr.Syrus, : of Col., receiving recognition of the; chair, stated that that was the precise bill he wished to talk about, and pro ceeded to deliver a sreech in opposition to the suspension of the silver dollar coinage. In concluding his Bpeech Mr. i SyrusVarmed the House that demonet-1 ization of silver would create a flat: monev party in this country, compared with which the Greenback party from the close of the war to 1S79 was small and insignificant. The House was then brought back to the subject under immediate considera tion, being the Produce Exchange bill, bv Mr. Bragg, of Wis., who briefly ex plained the object of the measure.
