Special to JOnquirer-Sun,] Washington, Nov. 8. — Senator Stanley Matthews says he lias made no assertion that the President will sign tlie silver bill. He has merely expressed his individual opinion tliut in the event of the bill’s passage by the Senate,the President will approve, and he adds that tills expression of opinion was made by him without any information derived from the President as to his intention on this subject, and neither proffered to be nor was in fact a statement based upon tlie President’s authority.

Washington,Nov. 8.—The House after reading tlie journal, went into Committee of tlie Whole, Cox in the chair, on the army appopriation bill The committees are idle this morn ^he bill to repeal the resumption act gave place to-day in the House to the appropriation Dili for the support of the army for tlie current year, and tills bill gave rise to quite an anima ted discussion. The bill appropriates on the basis of 22,000 melt for the first four months of tlie year mid 20,000 for the last eight months, ami it pro vides tliut no recruiting shall take place to increase tlie army beyond its present strength. Opinions differ, however, us to what its present strength is, the Adjutant General placing it at 22,000, General Sherman at 20,000, and other military author! ties as low us 15,000. The provisions of the bill were vig orously defended by the chairman of the Appropriation Committee, At kins of Tennessee, and by his col leagues on the committee. Blount of Georgia, Singleton of Mississippi, and others. They were no less vigorously as sailed on the Democratic side of the House by all the Texas members, and on the Republican side by Foster of Ohio, Conger of Michigan, and Cal kins of Indiana. The Texas members opposed tlie cutting down of the army on account of the position of affairs on the Rio Grande frontier, while on the Repub lican side, the labor riots of last sum mer were used as an argument in favor of a standing army. Blackburn, of Kentucky, declared such an idea is monstrous and anti- American, and moved to reduce tlie army to 15,000 men. Banks, of Massachusetts, opposed the idea of increasing the army in order to repress labor disturbances, but favored ail effective military establishment as true economy and wise legislation in tlie present danger ous situation on the Mexican frontier. He wonld have 10,000 or 15,000 men stationed in Texas, but on condition that they should not cross the border, but protect life and property in the State. No vote had been taken when the House adjourned. ELECTIONS. 8,000 DEMOCRAT IC MAJORITY, Drmooi’atlr Stale Ticket In New Tork Fleeted by 1.1,000 Vote*, Senate Re- publlean—l<eg;lNlnture In Doubt.

Judge Townsend overruled the mo tion for transfer. The prisoner, Smalls, is Indicted under a statute enacted by a Republican Legislature. The offense was committed while lie was State Senator. The indictment was found by the grand jury, drawn by Republican officials before the present Government was established, and composed of nine white ami eight colored men and of va rious political opinions, have been indicted by it without question during the four terms of the Court. The petit juries were drawn from the list prepared by Re publican officials. One jury lias 7 colored and 5 whites, another 5 col ored and 7 whites. The talismen are easily divided. The presiding Judge was elected in 1872, as a Republican, receiving the vote of the prisoner, Smalls, and re-elected in 1875, by the unanimous voteof Democrats and Re publicans. At the commencement of the pres ent term, tlie defendant’s council in sisted^ upon all eases of prisoners present being tried. By common consent, Smalls’ ease was fixed for Monday, and every fact which now exists to justify the motion existed when agreement for trial was made. FAILURES. KEXATK.

ABOUT A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE, London, Nov. 8.—The Paris cor respondent of tlie Times telegraphs it was believed this morning that the Ministers intended to obtain tlie pas sage of an order of tlie day expressing confidence in President MucMahon; but it afterwards became known that Duke Dandifterh Pusquier, President of tlie Senate, had told Duke de Bro glie tliut lie would not permit tlie discussion of an unconstitutional order of the day which would put for ward tlie Marshal as a shield for the Ministers, and enable the Chamber of Deputies to retaliate by an order of the day directly uimed against the Marshal. Tlie Cabinet did not en deavor to obtain a vote Jof confidence for itself from the Henate, as it was aware that an attempt would be hope less. Tlie Chamber of Deputies must verify elections of a sufficient num ber of members to form u quorum before it can proceed to business. This preliminary work will not be completed until Monday. STARTLING RUMORS. Versailles, November 8.—In the lobbies tlie most alarming rumors were current. It is said tlie Bona partists and monarchists have re solved, if their elections are declared invalid by tlie wholesale, to resign in a body, and thus furnish Senators a legitimate pretext for a fresh dissolu tion.

Paris, November 8.—The Soldi and other Conservative journals dis countenance tlie project of demand ing a vote of confidence for tlie Min istry in tlie Senate.

Rumors are current of a different lit jam- betta. HON A PARTISTS AND ROYALISTS FOR RESISTANCE. Paris, Novembers.—Tlie Journal Des Debuts says, many Bonupnrtists and Royalist Senators and Deputies have arrived here, animated with the spirit of resistance. They advise tlie Marshal to make no concession, nor even dissolve tlie chambers again. Their language leaves no hope of the triumph of moderate Ideas. GEN. GRANT AT THE PARIS OPERA.

That work lias been performed, and by the partiality of the Governor I am made tlie bearer of the paper indicating your appointment, Mr. Voorhees, to (lie position.

Mr. Voorhees responded as follows: “Mr. Eust and Gentlemen—Your presence here at my own home this evening attests friendship. You nre most cordially welcome. The com mission which you tender me from Governor Williams lias a. far higher value in my estimation than as a mere title to official position, lyiwever ex alted. It is an evidence of the confi dence vested in me by a wise and honest man, who one year ago was made tlie Chief Executive of this, the fifth State of the Union, by a major ity of her citizens. I venture to per suade myself also that in this net he reflects the will of those who placed him in power. If I thought other wise, I would return to him tlie com mission with which he bus so highly honored me. I accept it, however, grateful to him, to you, and to the people of Indiana for this signal mark of confidence and respect. With humble reliance on God for his aid, I promise you, uml through you the people of tlie whole State, that unceasing vigilance, constant industry and a rigid adher ence to the interests of the working, providing and business classes, shall characterize my career in the Senate of tlie United States, and I shall seek to secure tlie prosperity,of the people of our beloved Shite, irrespective of party, well assured tliut the prosperi ty of one will be the prosperity of all. You have been pleased to refer to the late Senator Morton, whose melan choly and untimely deatli lias caused the vacancy I uni called to fill. He was a man of commanding ability, of immense executive capacity and ranks as one of tlie greatest party leaders In American history. His loss to his party is beyond the reach of estimate, and to his family and friends it is irreparable. To those who are bereaved and stricken by his death my warmest and deepest sym pathy is extended. For the terms in which your partial attachment has prompted you to speak of me I can only renew my grateful appreciation of your presence to-night, and again hid you a warm and sincere welcome.” The speeches were received with frequent applause on the part of the large number of citizens of it.v and State who were present, and who, after their conclusion, tendered their congratulations to Mr. Voorhees on his appointment.

Mr. Talniage preached yesterday on “Contentment, taking ids text from Hebrews xiii., 5—"Be content with such tilings as ye have.” If I should ask some one, said lie, where is Brooklyn to-day ? lie would snv at Shelter Island ; where is New York to-day ? at Long Branch; where is Philadelphia'.’ tit Cape May; where Is Boston? at Martini’s Vineyard; where is Virginia? at the Sulphur Springs; where are a great multitude from all parts of the land V at Saratoga, tlie modern Bcthcsda, where the angel of the waters, the angel of health, is ever stirring tlie waters. But my friends, the largest multitude are at home, detained by business or cir cumstances ; among them the news paper men, the hardest worked and the least compensated ; the city rail road employes, the ferry masters, and the police, and tens of thous ands of clerks and merchants waiting for their turn of absence, and households, witli invalids tliut can’t be moved, and other multitudes by the stringency of tlie times bin dored from further expenditure, and a great multitude of well-to-do people who stay at home because they like home better than any other plu’oe, re fusing to merely because it is the fashion to go. Now the genuine American is not lumpy until lie is going somewhere, and tills fashion is so great that there are Christian peo ple, with their families, detained in the city who come not to the house of God, trying to give people the idea that they are out of town, leaving the door-plate unsecured for tlie same reason, and for two months keeping the front window shutters closed while they sit in the hack part of the house with tlie thermometer at ninety. There is a great deal of com mon ' sense in Paul's advice to the Hebrews, "Be ye content witli such tilings as ye have.” To be content is to he in good humor with our circum stances, not picking a quarrel with our obscurity or our poverty or our social position. There are four or five reasons why we should be content with the tilings we have. Tlie first reason is the consideration that tlie poorest, of us have all that is indispensable in life. We make a great ado about our hardships, lint how little do we talk of our blessings. Health of body, which is given in largest quantity to those who have never been petted and spoiled by for tune, we take as a matter of course. The grandest luxury God ever gave a man is health. He who trades that for all tlie palaces of the earth is infin itely cheated. “Oh,” says some one, Dernulllnir Tux Krrclt cr. Trenoon, N. J., November 8.- Loudenlicr’s are tlie best. Loudenber’s take tliu lead. ‘it iH not tlie grossest pleasures that 1 crave, hut it is tlie gratification of tlie intellectual taste—love of fine arts and pictures.” Wliy, you have tlie origi nals from which tlie pictures are painted. There is a great deal of af fectation about fondness for pictures among those who never apnreeiate tin 1 originals. Anotlierconslileratiou is tlie fact that our happiness is not dependent on outward circumstances. You see people happy and miserable amid all circumstances. In the fiim- ly where the last loaf is on the table and the last stick of wood on the fire, you sometimes find a cheerful confi dence in (iod, while in fine palaces you will find hospitality freezing to death in a cheerless parlor. The heart rigid toward God and man, we ure happy ; the heart wrong toward God amt man, and we are unhappy. Another reason why we should come to this spirit, inculcated in the text is the fact that all the dfferences of earthly condition are transitory. Persecution never knocked at the door of the grave, and u eofiln made >ul of pine hoards is just us good a resting place as one made out of silver mounted mahog any or rosewood. The Egyptian gu ano thrown on tlie fields to benefit the soil is the dust raked out of tlie tombs of ancient kings and lords and mighty men. Oh, the shame of some of those mighty men, if they had been told tliut after deatli their ashes would be so used and would he called Egyptian guano! Another reason for contentment is tliut God knows what is best for all Ills crea tures. I call tell you why you hav not been largely alllueut and greatly successful. It is because you can’t stand tlie temptation. If your path wiiHsmoothedyou would liavedepend- ed on yourself, hut (iod roughened it ho that you may have to hike hold of His bund. Would to God we could understand that our trials are the very lies! tilings for us. Another consideration leading us to the spirit of tlie text is tlie assurance that the Lord will provide somehow. What God diil formerly by miracles He does now in some other way and by natural laws. It is high time that you should understand that tlie word of the Almighty is involved in the fact that you are to have to eat and to wear. Again, I remark the religion of Jesus Christ is tlie grandest influence to make a man contented, an indem nity against all linuiiciul anil spiritual harm. It culms tlie spirit, dwindles tlie earth into insignificance and solaces the soul with tlie thought of Heaven. I commend you this morn ing to the wuriii, hearty, practical, common sense religion of Jesus ('lirist. Yet, iny friends, notwithstanding all these inducements to the spirit of contentment, I have to tell you this morning that the human race is di vided into classes—those who scold mid those who are scolded. Every body would lie lumpy if he only were somebody else. Everything is'upsido down, or going to he. Ah, my friends, you never make any advancement through such a spirit as tliut ; you can’t fret yourselves up, and yon may fret yourselves down. 'Mid all this grating of saws I strike this string of the gospel harp, godliness witl teiitmeiil is great gain. We brought nothing into the world, and it is very certain we can carry nothing out; having hull'll raiment let us tie there with content. If tills morning, in review of all your circumstances, you can't think of anything else to praise God for, I call upon you to-day to thank Him that matters are not worse. Let us nit remember that if we aiv Christians we are going after a while, no matter what our eireum- ents lluvmni cigars stances ure here, to have a glorious liovU oodJt vacation, SOUTHERN HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Gen. Horgiiii'„ Ad*1 In Richmond. •oin the Richmond ( Va.) Dispatch, ,Voi’. 1.] The hull of tlie House of Delegates was packed last night to its utmost opacity, attracted by the annual meeting of the Southern Historical Society. Gen'. Early introduced as orator of the evening, Gen. John T. Morgan, of Alabama, whom lie spoke of as having nerved in Virginia as Major of the regiment of tlie lamented Rhodes, and rising afterwards to high position by gallant services in the command of the great cavalry leader, Gen. N. B. Forrest. Gen. Morgan was re ceived witli loud applause. He clearly brought out the idea that the rent struggle during the war was for local self-government, and that the results of the war decided no princi ple which was involved and yielded no right which they held. He brought out the fuel tliut tlie peace of 1885 was scrupulously kept liy the Southern people, and'espeeiidly by tlie Confed erate soldiers, and tliut the peace was violated in 1867 by Congress, who be gan an unscrupulous war of suhjuga tion and spoils against the people of the South. He gave a vivid sketch of the rule of the "satruns” who lorded it over the “military districts” of the South, uml made alt law, justice, and right yield to brute force; and ably showed Unit “reconstruction" was nothing more than a cruel war made by Congress upon a helpless people. He clearly showed that tills war was waged for tlie purpose of perpbtuatlng the pow er of the Radical purty ami destroy ing tlie foundation principle of tlie Constitution. 11 is sketch or the great moral victory won by the South hv patience and endurance was vivid, and frequently brought down the house. Tlie South united with tin North in electing a President pledged to home rule, and the rival candidate who secured the position has disiq pointed tlie ultras of Ids party by standing firmly on the same plat form. He hailed this result us an era of real peace, which lie predicted would lie lasting, lie insisted that tile war of 1861 was not a war wlilel hud any particular head, but was a war between the peoiile of the tw sections, and scathingly showed that while his jailer hud punished the Confederate President (Sir. .letter Davis) in a way worthy of the Inqui sition, yet his judges had never dared to try’ the Indictment of treason against him. His vidiculion of tlie Mouth against the charge of bud faitl was able and eloquent, while his scathing denunciation and hitter sa tire against those who oppose the peace of 1877 brought down tlie house in frequent and prolonged applause, His tribute to the fidelity of the Con federate soldier, and the devotion • the women of the South was touel ingly eloquent. His trsliute to til “poor men" of tlie South, whose brav ery, devotion, and patient enduranei of'hardships he vividly pictured, wiih one of tlie finest passages 111 tlie speech.

One man, who laid not tlie fear of God before his eyes, pointed out to me a restaurant or soioon or some thing on tlie avenue, and said : "That was a historic place.

She still Hits about tlo- bouse like a gliost of other days. She lias promised some time to conic to my room and tell nic about tlie latter days of poor "Massa Clay." Webster, ill the final dark hour, repenting of his past mis deeds, uml referring to ills future home ami immortality, exeluimed witli Ills bAt breath: "I yet live.” An old woman who saw Webster die, in her excitement remarked to a neighbor that alter they "all thought lie was gone lie riz right up ahd says, savs he: ‘I ain't dead yet.’" The meaning was tlie same; the language ludicrously changed. Yet. what are we, who criticise the dead, and puss upon their fitness for eternal life? May we die us peacefully and well as these gay statesmen died. May their faults warn us as their greatness im press us. May we escape their error A NEIV STEAHSHIF. Trial Trip of the I’ll,? or nitron of Ilia Natnnnnli LI■>*••• D«**rrIptloh of the VcmcI.
