London—which means England—is on the tip toe of excitement upon the Eastern question, and the supposed attitude of the government towards Russia on the subject of peace negotia tions. The notice of the call for supplies for the army and navy, and the reported resignation of, Lords Carnarvon and Derby, have added fuel to the intensity of feeling prevailing, and the wild est war speculations are indulged in. A meeting of the Liberal leaders has been held, which decided that the vote f#r supplies.'is not a war vote, but merely one of contingent preparation, and should be supported, if pro posed, by a united Cabinet. The amount demanded for the supplementa ry supply for the army and navy is five million pounds sterling. The London Times demands further reasons for the vote, and says: “The critical hour of our relation to the Eastern question has evi dently arrived. The Ministry has diverged from the unanimous action which lias heretofore com inanded the support of the country, and we must know when* we are and whither we are drifting.” It is asserted that the British fleet now at Saros has been ordered to land marines and sailors. Saros is close to ihe lines of Gallipoli, and is the nearest and most convenient place for landing. The cause of the resignation of Earl Derby and Lord Carnarvon was not so much the de termination to ask for supplementary supplies for the army and navy, as an intention to take steps which would surely lead to war, which they are not yet prepared to admit is unavoida ble. The strong anti-war agitation will be inaugu rated immediately, but the continued advance of the Russians and the apparent determina tion to ignore England has caused a strong feeling. The warlike action of England will furnish Turkey a cause for rejecting the Russian con ditions, a state of things which Russia in one of its first notes to England predicted. The Committee of Commerce will, it is said, undoubtedly report unfavorably on the nomi nation of Smith as Collector at Mobile, and also on Williamson as Collector of Customs ot New Orleans. A daily mail service has been secured be tween Troy and Ozark, Alabama, to commence on the 1st of February. Captain Frederick D. Steward, ex-Grand Sire of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, died at Washington yesterday morning. The Massachusetts Senate has refused to concur in the resolutions of thanks to Senators Dawes and Hoar for their responses to Blaine's alleged imputation upon the honor of Massa chusetts. The Porte has accepted the Russian condi tions and peace is regarded as virtually con daded. The Turkish plenipotentiaries have been instructed from Constantinople to sign the peace preliminaries, and an armistice it was expected was concluded yesterday. The following items are said to be included in the pe<>ce conditions: Servia to be independent without compensation; Montenegro to receiv. Anti van. Ntcsjc and Spuz. and a portion of tht territory bordering on Lake Scutari; Russia to hold Batoum, Kars and Erzeroum until a wai indemnity of twenty millions Is paid: the Dar dandles to be opened to Russian me ;-of-war. Bulgarian autonomy to be conceded on the prin ciple of the Lebanon Conference; Turkey to nominate a Christian Governor for a long term of years, subject to ratification by the powers: j>art of the Russian army to embark at Con stantinople on their return home; and the final treaty of peace to be signed at Constantinople by the Grand Duke Nicholas.* The formal communication containing the foiflj.f of peace was only received yesterday morning by the government at London. The English fleet which was ordered to the Dardanelles on Wednesday, was yesterday ordered to stop at the mouth of the Dar danelles. Lord Northcote stated in answer to questions by the Marquis of Hartington yesterday, that he was not aware of the conclusion of an ar mistiee or of the signing of the preliminaries for peace. The Duke of Cambridge, Field Marshal, com manding in chief, who was visiting in the coun try. was unexpectedly summoned by telegraph to London on Wednesday morning. The House of Representatives was engaged yesterday in committee of the whole on the bill •extending the time for the withdrawal of dis tilled spirits from bond until July, 1878, which matter was discussed to adjournment without final action having been taken. The Judiciary Committee of the House re ported on the case of Congressman Smalls, of South Carolina, that his arrest by the State au thorities of South Carolina was no breach of the privileges of the House. The steamboat bill passed the House. The only important feature in it is that it limits the liabilities f>f owners of river steamers for dam ages to the share of interest held by each indi vidual owner of the vessel. Loge has been confirmed as Postmaster at Cincinnati. The Senate passed the Matthews resolution yesterday by a vote of forty-three yeas to twen ty-two nays. Senator Hill passed, and Senator i jimfti- voted with the noes. The vote is only the expreaaon of the opinion of Congress. The motion of Mr. Conkljng that it be joint, which would have committed Mr. Hayes to the meas ure, was defeated by a vote of twenty-three yeas to thirty-nine nays. We publish in another column the ad dress of Southern Senators and members of Congress to the people of the South ern States in behalf of the Lee Monu mental Association. This appeal, we are sure, will meet with a substantial response from the thousands of admirers of General Robert E. Lee, to whose memory it is proposed to erect an eques trian statue at Richmond, Va. The Bnsso-Turkish War Ended Not only Europe, but the whole civi lized world will hail with joy the news the telegraph brought last night of the signing of the preliminaries of peace, and the conclusion of an armistice be tween Russia and Turkey. Apart from the fact that human blood has ceased to flow and human suffering has been measurably alleviated; independent of the consideration that the civilization of the age has ceased to be outraged by the atrocities, the demoralization and the desolations of war, horrid war; regard less even of ultimate results, which must follow, to the general European system, the world must rejoice and feel a thrill as the lightning brings the word ‘‘peace on its electric wings to hundreds of thousands of desolated hearths and homes and hopes. The passage of the Russian armies across the Balkans in the midst of the rigors of winter was the death blow to Turkey’s power of resistance, and re sulted in the utter destruction of the morale of her armies, without which no successful achievement in war can be accomplished, and the very moment when her thoughts turned hopefully, first to England, then to Austria, to hold up her bedraggled banners, that moment was her fate sealed and her doom settled. The position which England at the last moment felt bound to occupy, in or der to maintain her oft-repeated asser tions as to the protection of British in terests—which were never seriously threatened or at least the threatening of which had been repeatedly disavowed by Russia—while it has satisfied doubtless her own national honor, and while it may have hastened the happy advent of peace, evidently has not influenced the peace propositions submitted to the Turks and quickly accepted by them, al most before England bad been made aware of their purport. Considering the causes assigned by Russia, and for which she professed to have undertaken the fight; considering the enormous sacrifices of men, material, money and industries, we do not regard the terms made known by our telegraphic- communication last night as extravagantly harsh, but rather as the moderate de* mands of a victor. All that Russia ag grandizes to herself is twenty millions of pounds war indemnity, for the payment of which she holds, Kars, Batoum and Erzeroum, and the free transit of the Dardanelles to her men-of-war. Servia’s independency without com pensation, Montenegro’s acquisitions and the Autonomy of Bulgaria were the avowed objects of the war which Rus sia fought to accomplish, and which Turkey fought to resist The latter has lost, and there can be no hardship in the just event. The Bulgarian Christians will in the future be protected, and we may look forward with hope, now that “grim visaged war has smothed his wrinkled front,” to the time when the fields which have yielded a sad harvest of death and misery will bring forth the blossoms and fruits of a lasting peace. Passage of the Matthews Silver Reso lution by the Senate. By our Washington dispatches it will l>e seen that the Matthews resolution, de claring “the right of the government to pay the bonds in silver at the option of the government of the United States, in silver dollars of the coinage of the United States, containing four hundred md twelve and a half grains each of tandard silver, and that to restore to its coinage such silver coin as a le gal tender in payment of said bonds, principal and interest, is not in violation of public faith nor in deroga tion of the rights of the public creditor,” passed the Senate yesterday by a vote of forty-three to twenty-two, one vote less than two-thirds. Mr. Hill, of Georgia, did not vote, having paired, while Mr. Lamar, of Mississippi, voted with the minority, thus defeating a two-thirds majority in favor of the resolution. Mr. Hill and Mr. Lamar both made speeches .igainst remonetization, but it had been reported by Washington correspondents that the lattergentleman, though opposed to the measure, would in deference to the wishes of his constituency, vote for it This vote on the Matthews resolution may, we suppose, be considered a test vote in the Senate on the financial ques tion now so deeply agitating the country, and upon which the masses of the peo ple of the West and South are so nearly a unit. The vote indicates that in the Senate the bill for the remonetization of silver cannot be passed over Mr. Hayes’ veto, should he be impelled by the money power to apply his execu tive prerogative for the defeat of a meas ure so essential to the general welfare and so unanimously demanded by the people of the country at large. In such an event it will be a most humiliating and mortifying reflection (hat this great measure of deliv erance, right and justice, was defeated oy a fraudulent Executive, aided by i he votes of two Southern Senators who most shamefully and defiantly misrepre sent their constituencies. The latter gentlemen should be most clear and con scientious in their convictions to assume such a responsibility. Liability of Corporations. The people of Fredericktown, Missou ri, recently discovered that a corporation cannot get rid of paying its debts by dissolving itself. The trustees attempted to evade the levying of a tax to pay a judgment by vacating their offices and permitting the town charter to lapse. But the matter wa e brought before the Circuit Court, and that court decided that the town having been incorporated under the general laws of the State, could not dissolve the corporation by non-user to the detriment of its creditors, tbat the corporation is still existing, and the prop erty of all citizens residing within the corporate limits is liable for its debts; that judgments against the town were judgments against the property of its citizens; and if the town officers refuse to levy taxes to satisfy them, the court has power to order the Sheriff to make such levy, and collect the taxes. It held also that the resigning trustees are to be regarded as trustees still, and “until their successors are elected and qualified. ” A writ of mandamus was issued, therefore, to the resigning officials commanding them to make the levy of taxes necessary, or to appear and show cause for not so doing. In obedience to this the trustees appeared and avowed their readiness to comply with the court’s orders, as soon as they could properly fill a vacancy in their l>oard caused by the removal of one of their oumlier from the county. The court accepted this answer, and the trus tees having filled the vacancy, are now about to make the levy. As the citizens are subject to the responsibilities of the old corporation, they think they may as well have its privileges, and they are, therefore, calling on the old trustees to set the machine m motion again. Novel Reason for Opposing Re monetization. Capt. F. W. Dawson, of the Neves and Courier, took a prominent part in the proceedings of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce by which resolutions were adopted opposed to silver remonetization. In the course of his speech he said: ** It was all important that the South should now maintain her ancient reputation for good faith and integrity. The South is inrited to co operate with the West in defeating the East and defrauding the public creditor, tt hat can the South gain by such an alliance? The West has no money to lend: it is like the South—a borrower. The East is rich in the capital we need, and without which our progress must be slow. About $280,000,000 have been invested in the West from the city of Hartford alone. The money lent bv the East has built up the West. It is being withdrawn. The threat of dishon esty has shaken confidence. The capital set free will seek investment, and It will come to South Carolina if the State, true to herself, set her face against cheating or repudiation of any sort, by the citizen, the State or the U nion." Commenting on Captain Dawson's speech, the Augusta ChronieU and Con- *titutionaU*t reminds its readers that almost at the very moment that the able, eloquent and practical editor of the Sew* and Courier was making these tell ing hits, the Chronicle and ConetUution- ali»t was enforcing the same doctrine." This is rather a remarkable coinci dence, to be sure, hut neither the “telling hits" of Captain Dawson nor the hearty endorsement of the Chronicle and Conetitutionolist have unsettled our faith in the policy of restoring sil ver to the national coinage. Captain Dawson certainly gives us a new reason why we of the South should consent to the demonetization of silver. It may be a good reason, a strictly honorable one. But if Mr. Dawson is in for a trade with the money monopolists of the East—if he is for selling out South Caiolina to Hart ford, Connecticut, we advise him to get the money in hand before he eonsum mates the bargain by allying himself with the bondholding East against our less wealthy but powerful neighbors of the West. The Sew Orleans Democrat has not as much confi dence in the magnanimity of the East as Captain Dawson seems to have. On the contrary, that paper gives many reasons why the South should seek the friendship of the West rather than be come allies of the East. Commenting on the New York Tribune* recent over tures to Senator Eustis, the Democrat says: "But that journal reaches the height of idiocy or audacity of statement when it appeals to Mr Eustis to oppose the silver bill, on the ground that the South has an interest in stand g wirh the East. A very brief review of our -unions with the East and West will show how absurd the Tribune is when it lays down this proposition. What, indeed, constitutes the gov ernmental policy of the East? Why, simply this: The establishment of the single gold stand ard : the payment of government bonds which, under the contract, are payable at the option of the government either m silver or gold, in gold coin alone appreciated by the swindle through which silver was demonetized, and finally, bitter, fierce and vindictive hostility to every appropriation by the General Govern ment to aid any Southern or Tt'extern enter- prixe, however necessary or just. Is this a poli cy with which the merchants of New Orleans can accord? Is this a policy to which the Sena tor from Louisiana can give his sympathy and his aid? ■ .sew York finds no difficulty in obtaining millions from the Treasury to improve her har bor, but a proposition to make the most insig nificant, though needed, appropriation for Southern or Western rivers raises a diabolical howl from one end of the East to the other. A short rime ago a large appropriation was made for scarcely needed improvements at Hell Gate. Mark the difference. On the 16th Inst. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, from the Committee on Commerce, introduced in the House a bill ap- iropriating $10,000 for the removal of snags rom the Mississippi. Missouri and Arkansas rivers, and $ii.<M) for the Red river above Shreve port. The bill for these insignificant appre ciations was scarcely read before Mr. Cox. of lew York, with the agility of a jumping jack, sprung to his feet to oppose it. From what source do we find the opposition to aid for the Mississippi' levees? The East. From what quarter comes the hostility to a system of im provements of our great river and aid for our railroad enterprises ? The East. From what quarter alone have the Mexican greasers who have for twenty years been murdering our fel low-citizens of Texas and stealing their cattle obtained sympathy ? The East, because that section fears that a thorough policy of protec tion of the Texas frontier would lead to the an nexation of territory w hich would strengthen The South. Thus, with no measure touching the vital interests of the South and West do we find the East in accord. " Upon the other hand, the West has solicited an alliance with the South. Our mighty river constitutes the two sections one in commercial and agricultural interest. If w-e expect to ob tain aid for our levees and our railroads, we must ally ourselves with tile West: if we hope to make Yew Orleans a great grain market and a great commercial city, we must be in social, political and commercial accord and fraternity wilh the West. If w-e antagonize the West We wilt have no levees, and we may get little more trade than circumstances force’into our lap. Perhaps the South should not barter her principles or her rights for the favor of cither the West or East; but if we are going into that sort of politics, our con viction is that we would stand a better chance of fair dealing with the West than with the East. Meeting of the Friends of Silver Re monetization in Rome, Ga. A mass meeting of the citizens of Floyd county was held in Rome on Tues day last, for th* puipoM of mamoriaiiz- ing Congress and giving public expres sion of the opinions of the people of Floyd upon the financial question now agitating the country. The meeting was largely attended, and included many of the most influential and intelligent citi zens of the county. Gen. Geo. S. Black presided, with J. R. Towers, Jr., and Max Meyerhardt as Secretaries. A series of resolutions submitted by Hon. A. R. Wright were unanimously adopted, among which are the following: 7. We demand the repeal of the “re sumption act." 8. We demand the repeal of that terri ble and crushing monopoly, “the na tional bank system,” 9. We demand that sliver be made money in its unit, and a legal tender for any amount—the dollar and its frac tional parts—and that coinage be un limited. 11. That our Representatives in the nouse and our scar-marked Gordon in the Senate are entitled to our gratitude, and have embalmed themselves in the hearts of their countrymen. Resolutions were also adopted declar ing that Hon. B. H. Hill “docs not rep resent the sentiments of his constituents," and directing that a copy of the resolu tions of the meeting be forwarded to Hon. W. H. Felton of the House and Senator Gordon, to be laid before their respective bodies. THE REJECTED NOMINATIONS. Conklin? and Edmunds In Conflict wi h the Administration. The Democrat* In the Senate trill Solidly Sustain the President. Alfonso, the young King of Spain, who on Wednesday last married his cousin, Slaria de los Mercedes, daughter of Due de Montpensier, and his aunt Louisa, was twenty-one years old on No vember 88. He is the fortieth in direct descent from Don Pelayo, who raised the standard of the Christians in the mountains of Galicia in A. D. 716. There have been nine female representatives of the long royal line, of whom the first was Ormisinda, heiress of Don Pelayo, who married Alfonso L, the first sovereign of Spain, who bore the title of Catholic. The last was Isabella II, now residing in Paris, and forbidden by the Madrid Gov ernment to attend the royal wedding The young King is the twelfth of the Alfonsos, and represents in his per son the long line from Alfonso I., in the eighth century. The first eight Alfonsos were champions of the faith and success ful warriors with the Moors and the French. King Alfonso XH. is, remarks the Louisville Courier-Journal, not so securely established as be might he. His sharp cousin, Don Carlos, is ready to head another rebellion against him at any time; secret republican organiza tions, whose object is to extinguish the Bourbon claim to Spain and establish a republic, are scattered all over the coun trv. and the royal treasury is very scant of funds, with a public" debt of about $2,500,000,000. Special Telegram to the liomina .Van. WASiirsGTOs, January 85. —The Senate Commerce Committee has decided to re port adversely on the nominations of Collins for Collector at Brunswick, Ga. Smith as Collector at Mobile, and Wil liams as Collector at New Orleans. This brings Conkiing in conflict with the Ad ministration, andjhe indications are that Edmunds will oppose him. It is stated by a Democratic Senator to-night that the Democrats in the Senate will vote almost unitedly to sustain the President. FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. Passage of the Matthews Resolution, SEXATOB GORDOXS SPEECH. SENATOR HILL OPPOSES RESOLUTION. THE Minor Topics. Hln answering the queries of a corre spondent as to whether Secretary Evarts is a white man or a negro, and what State he lives in, the New York Bun says he is white, but that it is pretty hard to tell where he lives, as he owns a farm in Ver mont, has acquired a residence in Wash ington, and practices law in New York. Tramp Characteristics. The subject of “tramps" has received considerable light from a report which has been lately published of Chief De tective Stephens and other Massachu setts detectives, who disguised them selves as tramps and mingled and travel ed with the strolling fraternity in that State. The diary of these detectives is given from July 10 to August 1, of last year. They met two tramps on the first named date, and were informed that they could get very little food by begging, excepting dry bread and sometimes a little milk; that they generally stole what they got. These men were foreigners, but lioth had trades, and said they could get work if they desired, but preferred to tramp; they only worked when they want ed' money to get liquor, and not then if they could steal it. This was the uni form tenor of the whole experience of the Massachu:-' tts detectives with tramps, sometimes amounting to parties of twenty, through the whole period men tioned. The report says: “During all the time we were engaged in tramping we made it our business, at the suggestion of the chief detective, to ascertain whether it was the lack of em ployment that caused these people to be come wanderers and vagrants. Of the entire number with whom we conversed we found but two who did not scout the idea of going to work for the purpose of earning an honest livelihood, and we very much doubt if those two were ready to engage in any laborious employment.” TVhen the question is proposed to the young tramp, “Why don't you go to work?" they always professed readiness to work, but generally gave, as a trade to which they were accustomed to work, some occupation in which they were sure no employment would be offered in that locality. Another noticeable fact is that in one section gljout four hundred and thirty tramps were waiting to join rail road strikes, and were believed to be ready for any plan of pillage or destruc tion. Foreigh countries were largely re presented among the tramps. A frightful accident is reported on Mount Washington, N. H, Sergeant O. S. M. Cone, the manager of the government signal station on the summit, was the subject of it. He was going down the mountain, on Sunday, on a sled made to fit the railroad track, and which, once started, goes down like the flight of a wild duck. On reaching the frightful pitch known as “Jacobs Ladder,” where the road was held up on trestlework twenty feet high, the momentum sud denly increased to such a bullet-like rate as to hurl the Sergeant from the track, and throw him down among the crags. Here in due time he was found, ap parently dead, by Private Murphy, his assistant, who was following on foot. Owing, however, to the deep snow there, the officer, most fortunately, was not dead nor hurt internally. A stretcher was carried up from the Fabayan House, and he was conveyed to that establish ment, where he revived, and will proba My recover. Secretary Schurz continues to prose cute his reform work. In the matter of trespasses upon the timber lands of the government, he has already succeeded in recovering a large sum of money and in breaking up gangs of trespassers. In Minnesota, he has recovered about $1 000, and more suits are to be instituted: in Louisiana, he has seized about $100, 000 worth of stolen logs and lumber, and has but commenced the work; in Misis- sippi, he has commenced 70 suits and seized over $368,000 worth of lumlier, logs and turpentine; in Florida, he has instituted 12 suits and seized about $112,000 worth of timber. He has also discovered that extensive trespasses have been committed upon the public lands in Arkansas, Alabama, Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin, California and Oregon and in the Territories of Washington, Montana and Utah. Up to date, he has instituted 228 suits and seized nearla $900,000 worth of property. It looks very much as if Congress would increase the pay of letter-carriers to $800 and $1,000 per year. The intent is undoubtedly to make these offices sufficiently valuable to satisfy the politi cal workers who must somehow be re warded. Nothing is clearer than that the proposed compensation is entirely disproportioned to the ability required, and very much greater than the same amount of labor and ability is rewarded within private business. We agree with the Bridgeport Farmer, that the House, with its record of economy in expending the people's money, must reject the figures mentioned above, or uncomplain ingly confess judgment on a charge of inconsistency. The views of the late Senator Morton on the Chinese question are much more humane than those entertained by Sena tor Sargent, who has introduced a bill in the Senate which imposes a tax of $250 on every Chinaman who comes to this country after January 1, 1879. This measure amounts to a prohibition of emi gration, and lacks constitutionality. There are several bills of a similar char acter before the House, hut it is evident that if Congress is going to adopt such measures of exclusion the Burlingame and Cushing treaties will both nave to be abolished, and we will consequently lose the little trade with China we now have, and will also forfeit all claim to the pro tection of American citizens in China on the part of the government of that coun try. The latest proposition is to make gold and silver jointly a legal tender, one half of each. As a compromise measure it is said to be meeting with favor. It is a measure of doubtful propriety, and an experiment only. It seems that there are other cities be sides Washington that find an elective government an expensive luxury. It is stated that Frederick City, Maryland, is getting tired of the expense of carrying on a city government, and wil! petition the Legislature praying for the abolition of the city charter and the investment of municipal affairs in the hands of five commissioners. In New York city the despair of the tax payers over the hope less condition of the city finances under the rule of the “ short-hair ” voters is il lustrated by the fact that the World feels constrained to urge that the affairs of the city be put into the hands of receivers. Exactly how the receivership is to be ac complished is pot stated, but the prevail ing discontent amongst the thinking peo ple of the city with the management of affairs is shown in the appearance of the article. The bill introduced Monday by Repre sentative Shallenberger, of Pennsylvania, to remonetize the silver dollar, and to make gold and silver equal as legal ten der, is attracting considerable attention among Congressmen, some of whom speak of the proposition witfi favor, and believe that it may form a basis of settle ment of the vexatious questions of metal currency. Texas papers say that gum arabic and mesquitc gum have precisely the same properties, and that the mesquitc gum is now largely used as a substitute, twelve thousand pounds having been shipped from Bexar county alone last year. The gum exudes from the stem and branches of the mescuite tree, which grows ex clusively in Southwestern Texas Northern Mexico. Washington, January 25.—Confirma tion—Logo as Postmaster of Cincinnati. The House was in committee of the whole to-day on the bill extending the time for the withdrawal of distilled spirits from bond until July Cth. 1878. It was debated at some length, the oppo nents of the bill protesting that it was class legislation, and its supporters re torting that legislation for a number of years past bad been class legislation and against this very class of men who now come for relief. Hale, of Maine, charged the supporters of the bill as re presenting an interest which was medi taring a raid upon the treasury, which charge was denied by Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, whereupon an exciting debate took place, which lasted until adjourn ment, without action having been taken. Mr. Knott, of Kentucky, from the Judiciary Committee, made a report on the subject of the arrest of Robt. Smalls, a member from South Carolina, to the effect that there was in that no breach of the privileges of the House, which was ordered printed. The bUl known as the steamboat bill also passed. The only important feature in it is that it limits the liability of own ers of river steamboats for damages to the share of interest held by each indi vidua] owner of ihe vessel. Senate—The bill directing the Custom House at Memphis to be built of Ten nessee marble passed The consideration of Mr. Matthews’ resolution, declaring the right of the government to pay the bonds in silver at the option of the government of the United States, in silver dollars of the coinage of the United States, containin: 412+ grains each of standard silver, am that to restore to its coinage such silver coins as a legal tender in payment of said bonds, principal and interest, is not in violation of the public faith nor in derogation of the rights of the public creditor. Passed by a vote of 43 to 22. This is a current resolution, and is only the expression of the opinion of Congress. The motion of Mr. Conkiing that it be joint, which would have com mitted the President to the measure, was defeated by a vote of 23 yeas to 39 nays. Mr. Gordon, of Georgia, said he might have something to say when the silver bill should come before the Senate. He would vote for the preamble and resolu tion of the Senator from Ohio, because he believed the recital of facts contained therein was true, and the resolution sug gested a policy which he tielieved to be honest, wise and just. There was one thing, however, which he desired to say, and that was, he feared the coun try was being led to expect too much from the remonetization of silver. He cautioned the people of the country against sueh exjiectations, because they would be disappointed. It was right to remonetize silver, but it could not give the relief expected. The evils under which the country now suffered, in his judgment, resulted from a long series of enactments and a false financial svstem. Incidentally, the remonetization of silver would give some relief by checking that pernicious system of contrac tion which has ' ever aud will always destroy the prosperity of any country. There was another good reason" for the remonetization of silver. It would give the distressed people of the country some hope, and that was no small matter to him. It would encourage the pesple to believe that at last their re presentatives here had determined to call a halt in a system of legislation which provided for a class and not for the masses. Mr. Hill said he could not vote for the resolution because it affirmed that the debts of the United States to-day were payable in silver dollars when there were no silver dollars. They had been de stroyed by the government, and how could silver dollars be paid when the debtors had stricken them from the coinage of the country, was another question. lie believed that the proper remonetization of silver would be a great advantage to the people of the country at this time. An improper restoration of the silver dollar to the coinage of the country would result in evil. It would absolutely im poverish the already poor and hunger the already starving. ' If the silver dollar could be remonetized in any way to make it equal to the gold dollar a good thing would be done for the country. He believed silver could be made equal in value to gold in three ways. First, by increasing its weight; second, by limit ing its coinage; and third, by limiting its legal tender power. He believed it would be one of the greatest mistakes ever made by the American Congress to pass the pending silver bill. He would not vote to coin a silver dollar and again throw upon the country a depreciated dollar that cheated everything that touched it. The vote on the passage of the Mat thews resolution was as follows: Yeas— Allison. Armstrong. Bailey, Beck. Booth, Bruce, Cameron of Pennsylvania, Came ron of Wisconsin, Chaffee. Cooke. Cono ver, Davis of Illinois, Davis of West Virginia, Dennis, Darsey, Eustis, Ferry, Gordon, Grover, Howe, Johnstone, Jones of Florida, Jones of Nevada. Kirkwood, McCreerv.

Randolpn, Rollins, Sar gent, Wadleigh, Windom—22. Cockrell, Patterson, Harris and Gar land, who would have voted in the affirm ative, were paired with Whyte, Butler, Hoar and Hill, who would have voted in the negative. The vote in the affirmative lacked^ but one of being a two-thirds vote. GRIM VISAGED WAR HATH SMOOTHED HIS WRINKLED FRONT. The Preliminaries of Peace Signed. AS ARMISTICE ARRASGED. THE PEACE CONDITIONS. Tile Excitement In England Allayed. A provincial journal says that the Duke of Cambridge. Field Marshal and Commander-In-Chief, who was visiting in the country was unexpectedly sum moned to London by telegraph on Wad- nesdav morning. In the Commons this afternoon, Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of the Exchequer, replying to a question put by the Marquis of "Hartington. said it only this morning a formal communica tion from Russia containing the basis of peace was received. In consequence of a private communication last evening, the fleet, which on Wednesday was or dered to the Dardanelles, was ordered to stop at the mouth of the Dardanelles. Hc was not authorized to sav whether any Minister had resigned. The vote to be’proposed is £6.000.000. He was not aware of the conclusion of an armistice, or of the signing of preliminaries for peace. In the House of Lords the Earl of Car narvon is making a long statement. He has now resigned. In the House of Lords this afternoon. Lord BeaconsfieJd. in reply to a question propounded by the Earl" of Sundwich, said it was a fact that instructions had been given to the fleet to proceed to the Dardanelles and Constantinople. At the same time the goverment had prepared to telegraph to the European powers, in cluding Russia and the Porte, that in the course the government had fol lowed there was not the slightest deviation from the policy of neutrality they had from the first announced. He maintained that the British fleet went to the Dardanelles to defend British sub jects and British property and take care of British interests in the straits. Since the government had arrived at that reso lution they had become acquainted with the proposed conditions of peace, and having examined those conditions the government were of opinion thev fur nished a basis for an armistice. There fore they had given directions to the Admiral to remain in Besika Bay. They had not, under these circumstances, cir culated throughout Europe the telegraph dispatch to which he had referred. A Reuter telegram from Constantinople has the following: “January 25—The Porte having yesterday accepted the Rus sian conditions, peace is regarded as vir tually concluded. The Russian condi tions are not yet officially known here, but it appears certain that they greatly exceed the conference programme anil stipulate both for territorial concessions and the payment of a war indemnity." The Dajy Telegraph, in its second edi tion, prints the following from Constan tinople: “The Turkish delegates have been ordered to sign the peace prelimi naries. and an armistice will probably be concluded to-day. The peace conditions, it is stated on excellent authority, include the following: Servia to be independent, without compensation; Montenegro to receive Antivari. Nicsic and Spuz and a portion of the territory bordering on Lake Scutari; Russia to hold Batoum, Kars and Ezeroum until a war indemnity of twenty million pounds is paid: the Damanelles to be opened to Russian men-of-war, Bulgarian auton omy to be conceded rather on the prin ciple of the Lebanon than on the plan of the Constantinople conference, and Tur key to nominate a Christian government for a long term of years, subject to ratification by the powers. Bulgaria is not understood to include ThraceT but only to extend to the line ot the Balkans. Part of the Russian army is to embark at Constantinople lor their return home, and the final treaty of peace is to be signed at Constantinople by the Grand Duke Nicholas. This arrangement will satifv Russian military houor without involving the occupation of Constant! pie. FANCY GROCERIES!

Motion to Change the Venue Over ruled. Lindon, January 25.—The govern ment organs show a disposition to mini mize the importance of the action thus far taken. The Standard says: “The news that the Russian terms of peace have been made known to the . Porte and are now being discussed by it, comes opportunely to temper the excitement and exaggerated alarm that foolish people might otherwise have felt at the intention of the government to move on Monday for supplementary credit. We do not hesitate to say that the mere fact that a delay of four days is to elapse before the motion comes on is a sufficient indi cation that in the opinion of the govern ment the peril against which it is to guard us is by no means pressing, though ' ' it is absolutely necessary that Russia and | should receive the hint that she has tried our patience too long.” THE ABSTRACTED VIRGINIA BONDS. Richmond, January 25.—The Special Joint Committee of the General Assem bly, appointed to investigate the recently discovered abstraction and double fund ing of State bonds, have completed their labors. The evidence elicited does not criminate any one at present connected with the Treasurer’s or Second Auditor's offices, but fully establishes the guilt of the former Treasurer, Joseph Mayo, Jr., and a subordinate in his office who has already paid the penalty of his crime by serving term in the" penitentiary. The evi dence shows great looseness in the con duct of business during Mayo's admin istration, and also that $35,500 in bonds were absolutely stolen, with several thou sand more in doubt. The committee will recommend that legal proceedings be commenced on the official bond of Mayo to recover the amount of the defal cation. LIVERPOOL WEEKLY COTTON MARKET. Liverpool, January 25.—The circular of the Liverpool Cotton Brokers' Associa tion says: “Cotton was dull through out the week, and, transactions being very limited, prices generally were re duced American was in moderate de mand, with an increased supply, espec ially of the common grades. The quo tations for them are reduced +d. to +d., and for the better grades about l-16d. Sea island was* in fair inquiry—chiefly for medium and good grades of Florida —and prices are unchanged. Futures declined all the week, closing at 5-32d. from last Thursday’s rates.” WASHINGTON WEATHER PROPHET, Office of the Chief Signal Obser ver, Washington, D.
