Yesterday was the anniversary of an event in the history of this country, equalled by but few, if any. When the eleccrio wires flashed the news that the shattered ranks of the army of Northern Virginia had, after a week of unparal leled marching, fighting and starving, filed into camp, stacked arms, and that General Lee had surrendered, the ninth of April became a day to be remembered so long as patriotism hps a name or self sacrificing gallantry an admirer. Memorial Day. The Ladies Memorial Association has 83cured the services of Col. E. D. Hall, the Mayor of Wilmington, as orator for the 10th of May celebration this year. Col.

A cordial invitation is extended to all soldiers w ho were pres ent on the day of the battle, and all citi zans who feel an interest in the matter. Col. nail is a very forcible speaker, and will not only entertain the crowd on that day but will give them some facts about the battle of New Berne that ought to be preserved. And this re minds us that the memorial services of last year containing Capt. Graham's ad mirable address on the life of General Pettigrew, a photograph of the Confed erate monument in Cedar Grove Ceme tery and the proceedings of the unveil ing, have been published in pamphlet form and can be had on application to the Ladies Memorial Association at fifty cents per city.

After some unim portant routine business. Mr. Call ad dressed the Senate on his resolution in structing the Committee on Publio Lands to report a bill declaring the for feiture of ail unearned railroad grants. At the conclusion of his remarks, the resolution was referred to the Commit tee oa Publio Lands. Mr. Hawley then took the floor and spoke in support of the Army Efficiency bill. If we should be fairly prepared for war we would have no war. If we were so defenseless as now we invite a war. Mr. Teller thought that Mr. Hawley 's argument went to show that the army was to be used as a police force, and de nied that such was the proper use for the army. Mr. Hawley warmly repelled the sug gestion, which, he said, was implied by the remarks of Mr. Teller. He did not want the army used for police purposes, and did not thank the Senator from Colorado for endeavoring to put him in the wrong in this matter, and endeavor ing to array against him (Mr. Hawley) the prejudices of demagogues. The Senator from Colorado, Mr. Haw ley said, had endeavored to create the impression that he (Mr. Hawley) would use the Federal army to interfere with the will of the people. He emphatically denied that he had said anything of the kind. Mr. Teller disclaimed any intention of eaying anything unfair or anything personal toward tne Senator from Con necticut (Mr. Hawley). Mr. Van VVyck said the secret of this whole matter was to be found in the idea of using the army again as a great police power as it had been used as a police power to keep the slaves in slavery. Jay Gould and his confeder ates, and Vanderbilt and his confeder ates, who had been allowed to steal millions just as men, under the old in terpretation of the Constitution, had been allowed to steal from tbe black man his birth rights. "You have raised," said Mr. Van Wyck "another class of slaveholders just as unrelenting and determined, and steeled against the institution of humanity as the old slave holders were, and I think, a little more ho." The debate was prolonged, and finally the bill to increase the army to 30,000 men was defeated by a vote of 19 to 81, and the Senate adjourned. House. Mr. Holman (Ind) called up the bill providing for the appointment by the President of an Indian Commis sion to consist of six persons to inspect and report on Indian affairs generally. The bill provides that three of the mem bers shall be detailed from officers of the army and the remaining three de tailed from omcers of tne Interior De partment. rending action, the morning nour ex pired, and debate on the silver bill was resumed. , Mr. Bland (Mo.) entered a motion to recommit the bill which will be voted upon at the close of the debate. He then proceeded to argue in favor of free coinage, wnoever thought tnat rree coinage was going to make money cheap, he said was mistaken. Mr. Norwood (Ga.), in a dry, sarcas tic manner defended the standard dol lar from the charge of "dishonesty," and maintained that the wisest course was to allow the existing law to remain unchanged. Mr. Bayne (Pa.) favored a suspension of silver coinage, and strongly de- nouncee the proposition to open tne mints and stop free coinage of silver. It was agreed that a vote on the silver question should be taken tomorrow eve ning. The House, at 5 o'clock, took a recess until 7 o'clock, the night session being for debate on the silver bill exclusively. Che debate on the silver bill was con tinued at the evening session, the mem bers on the floor and an equal number of spectators in the galleries composing the audience that was called to order by the Speaker. Mr, Daniel (Va.) took a stand against the suspension oi silver coinage, declaring that the standard dollar was the only bulwark between the people and monopoly. The banks hold the gold, the uovernment nas its hand upon the greenback, and I the peo ple were told that silver was not whole some for them. If the coinage of silver was stopped, contraction would follow and after contraction came bankruptcy and ruin. The silver dollar was not only an honest dollar, but the most hon est dollar that had emenated from the Treasury. The tendenoy of free silver coinage would not be to carry gold to a premium but to put both metals on the same level. The argument that the free coinage of silver would drive gold from the country was but the second edition of the old prophecy made in 1878, that even a limited coinage would drive out sold. The present situation of the country, contrasted with its condition in 1878, showed that the United States had an increased volume of $306,000, 000 of cold, and S212.000.000 silver. Mr. Crisp (ua.) opposed any proposi tion to inoreaie the amount of silver in the standard dollar for the reason that the bullion value of that dollar was ereater than that of any like coin issued by any other nation of the world. He opposed also tne proposition to suspend the silver coinage. - Mr. Worthineton (111.) announoed himself as in favor of free coinage of silver. r-.:.- ' - - Sneeches in favor of the continued coinage of silver were made by McRae (Ark.), Skinner (N. U.) and Byrnes iuoi.j and in opposition bv MoAdoo and Bu chanan (N. J. J and at 10 p. m. the House adjourned. . . '. :-!.; ." DIED, At Mia iwiMannnof Mr. A. G.
