FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
kept the good faith of the Govern- article he had noticed In certain East-
ment wlth its own; people. A mo- ern newspapers in regard to the
mont after they fefgnPflthat bad faith rights of thebondholders, the duty of
would bring them richer gains. He
commented at some length on the act
of 1809 to pay the bonds In coin, and
suid in some countries the habit pre
vailed of building a cairn, of a pile of
stones to murk the spot where some
tragic event, had happened. So let
American tax payers, whenever the
act of 18(19 Is cited, each cast a stone
upon it to mark the place in Ameri
can history where the rights of the
a >le were mercilessly and treacher-
y slaughtered.
He next commented on the refund
ing act of July litli, 1870, and said it
was brought in to aid the falsi' asser
tion of tlic act of 1809 that our whole
bonded debt was payable in coin.
He argued that both of these acts
were framed in the interests of the
bondholders and under their dicta
tion, but even under these acts, the
bonds were payable witli either gold
or silver coin, and not payable with
gold alone.
Mr. Voorhees' then spoke at some
length in regard to the advantage of
silver coin, anil-said the silver dollar
came to us with the birth of our Gov
ernment; it was devised ns a unit of
value by Thomas Jefferson mill
adopted by Congress in the days of
Washington, Hamilton und Morris.
It stood us honored as gold through
every storm that heat upon this Gov
ernment. It is associated witli all
our developments, our strength, our
growth and our glory.
He tlicn spoke of the act of 1873,
demonetizing it, and said flint it was
passed without a note of warning to
the American people that their favor
ite coin was about to be de
stroyed as moiicy. Its enact
ment was as .completely un
known to the people, and, Indeed,
to four-fifths of Congress itself as tlie
presence of a burglar in a house at
midnight toils sleeping inmates, lie
argued that the silver dollar was eli
minated from our money system
under cover of false pretences, and
that silver had not failed in its func
tions as u specie basis any more tlum
gold. Of the entire trading and com
mercial populations of the whole
earth 090,250,000 more people have
silver alone us their standard of val
ues, and transact all their business
upon it as a specie basis than those i
who have gold alone for similar pur
poses, and 754,200,000 more people
use silver alone than use gold and
stiver both as their metallic currency.
Referring to the specie resumption

ttiese doctrines of despotism are
sought to be enforced, this fair land
will aguin be convulsed in agony
and the fires of liberty will blare forth
again as they did one hundred years
ago in defence of the natural rights
of man. [Applause in the galleries.']
May the wisdom of our fathers ami
the benignity of our God avert such
an issue; but, if it shall come, if infat
uation lias seized our councils, t lie
result will only uddone more instance
to tlie long catalogue of human crime
and folly where avriee like ambition
overleaps Itself, and in its unholy
attempt to rob others of their posses
sion loses its own. [Great applause
In the gallery.]
The Vice President laid before the
Senate the resolutions adopted by (lie
Dillon League Club of New York
city at tlic unniml meeting on tlic

which will lend to postpone the re-
resumption of specie payments and

Washington, January 15.—The
galleries were full and all vacant
spaces in the Senate chamber tilled.
Voorhees, of Indiana, culled up tlie
resolution submitted by him on tlie
13th of December last, declaring that
it is of the highest importance that
the financial creditor the Government
lie maintained, and in order lo do so,
the Government, itself in all its de
partments should keep in good faith
all its contracts and obligations enter
ed into with its own citizens. He re
ferred to tlie continued obligations of
financial question, and said it would
never cease until the people are sat
isfied ttiat our vast debt is in process
of extinction upon principles ofjustice
to tax paying labor, or until on the
other hand they are subjugated into
silent submission, and the Govern
ment Itself becomes, changed in
spirit and form Into a moneyed aris
tocracy. II may be that this latter
alternative Is to’ overtake us. There
arc dark and plentiful omens in our
history Indicating such a conclusion,
and there is a numerous and power
ful class in our midst, who believe as
Alexander Hamilton declared that
the British Goverment on tills us
well as on oilier points is the beet
ever devised by tlic wisdom of man.
Those entertaining this opinion have
thus fur triumphed in the financial
legislation of Ihe United Stutes, and
the time has now arrived when th'CTr
victories must be reversed or soon
this government will cease to
be Republican, und this people
be no longer free.
He argued thut to a great extent our
whole financial system is an organ
ized crime against tlie laboring tax
paying men and women of tlie United
States, and tlie time lias come when
those who thought as he did, that a
greut work of financial reform is de
manded in order to secure tlie people
from slavery in fact if not in name,"
were denounced. He spoke of unholy
avarice'having its stronghold, and
privileged classes having entrenched
themselves, and said tills plea of good
faith, now so loud in our cal's, lias
been Invoked in behalf of every wick
edness that ever cursed the world.
He then spoke of tlie act of Febru
ary 25th, 1862, us the beginning of our
bonded debt. Tlie precious metals
were found to be unequal to tlie
emergency of war. Specie payments
were nbnndoued us soon as too hour
of trial came, and gold and silver
covered in the rear, while the legal
tender dollar went lo tlie front with
a flag, and stayed there. He was
amongst those who doubted our right
to issue it, but,expurieuce had shown
it, all tilings considered, (lie best
money that ever circulated on Amer
ican soil.
He argued that by this act and by
similar legislation at subsequent pe
riods, every bond-issued by the Gov
ernment which did not ori its face
stipulate for payment in coin, was
made payable by tlic express words
of law in legal tender notes.
He quoted from tlie language of the
late Thadeus Stevens to the effect
that even tlic payment of the interest
on bonds In coin was an odious and
an unjust discrimination in favor of
the bondholder. He uUo quoted
from the speeches of Senator Sher
man to show that lie expressed the
opinion that the bonds were payable
in legul tenders.
M r. Voorhees characterized the acts
He spoke of the great shrinkage in
values a rising from tlie shrinkage of
money' In circulation,' und said it was
tlic immediate cause of that general
bankruptcy and ruin which now
befalls the land. I f the policy of this
Government lias been to inflict the
greatest misery on the greatest mim-
be'r, its success has been complete.
He wus not an inflationist in any
sense that would disturb the true
Interests of trade and commerce.
During the whole four years of 1863,
1864, 1805 and 1866, when the volume
of our currency averaged over a thou
sand million, tlic business failures of
tlie entire country reached only 2,107,
less In number ibun occurred ill any
three months of the year just closed.
During the period which is now stig
matized as one of inflation, the win
dows of business houses. were not
darkened, and businessmen did not
go us mourners about the streets. The
laborer did not go home without
bread to his wife and children ; hi ip-
less millions did not cower and trem
ble at the approach of winter for tlic
tack of food mid shelter. The
public ]stucco was not broken by
riots in resistance lo starvation
wages, the courts were, not principal
ly occupied in enforcing collections,
foreclosing mortgages, ordering sher
iff's’ shies or in pursuing the destitute
and the outcast. These are some
tilings which did not take place.
Others that did are equally striking.
Good wages and good prices stimulat
ed every, laboring map’s muscle,
every bumness nmiPs brain, and every
power of machinery unto the highest
and most productive activity. Hope
and encouragement was In every
heart. New farms were bought ami
cultivated, new workshops were
opened, new manufactories were es
tablished, new mines of iron, coal and
silver were sunk into tlie earth whose
contents in return assisted in tlie glad
work of an universal, .individual .und
national prosperity.

MR. HARLEY’S INTENTIONS.
Mr. Farmer informs us that after
reaching the ground selected for tho
combat, and before the meeting took
place, Mr. Harley wrote a few words
to his wife on tlie leaf of his memo
randum hook, of which tlie following

HIS CONDITION.
Mr. Harley wns considered at a late
hour Saturday night to lie in an ex
tremely critical condition, and it was
thought lie would die'before morning.
Yesterday, however, there was an
improvement, and he was somewhat
better, with faint prospects of recov
ery. In the opinion of one of the
attending physicians, the hall did
not penetrate tlie cavity, but struck
a rib and pussed around the body.
Tlie other two physicians who have
seen him are of the opinion that the *
wound will prove fatal.
EFFORTS To SETTLE THE AFFAIR AM-
ICAULY.
U is lnd proper here to suy that
efforts were made on the gound to
settle tliis difficulty without resort to
hostile procedure, and tlje iiarties
with Mr. Fishburne expressed a wil
lingness to enterliiin a peaceful solu
tion. Mr. Harley, however, refused
to make any retraction whatever, as
he has persistently done up to the
present time. He was conscious yes
terday, and stated Unit he could not
have retracted anything he had said,
and that there was no possible way
of avoiding the meeting. Tills seems
strange, inasmuch as lie had deter
mined not to return the lire of his
antagonist, as tho note lo his,wife
shows, and Ills action in discharing
ids weapon in the ail'as lie fell clearly
proves.
His family were telegraphed on

”1 sin the man,” Mr. Henry R.
Kendall said, as he rested in his cot
in Dr. Miller’s water cure, yesterday.
”1 am the man who,us reported, took
the laudanum on Saturday last. I
hoped to sink by its means into au
endless sleep, but, unfortunately, it
failed me, producing no effect save
that of deathly nausea. That effort
having miscarried, I made my way
to the river, boarded a ferryboat, and
when midway in tlie river made my
way to the rear of tho boat. It was
dark, and no one near except one old
Ilian, who sut on the opposite side. 1
quickly, and without uuo, laid ofl'my
coat and hat, looked unund down tho
river, and over to the New York side,
where the lights were glimmering in
the night, then mounting the rail,
jumped down into the deep cool
blackness.
Mr. Kendall paused, turned on ills
side and resumed, in a thoughtful
maimer. “Yes, X jumped, and I can
remember that I went down, down,
am! then rose slowly to the surface;
and again, though still conscious,
I went down into the coid
water—ugh! how cold it was!—and
then 1 came up, and a third time
again sinking, and as I went down 1
said to myself, ‘Now, this is the third
time, this is the last, and it will b«
over very soon,.It in all right now.’
But still I retained my consciousness,
and the next I knew I lay flat on my
buck upon the surface and open-
I took an observation of
the new mooli, and thought, how
bright tlie stars arc; half provoked
that I did not sink, I deliberately
turned over on my face and clawed
my way again down into tlie water;
but again I came up, and I said to
myself, I cannot lie here and suffer
my misery, and, calling out, began
swimming toward the Jersey shore.
Two boatmen, whose attention was
attracted, rowed alongside and pulled
me in with their hands. But during
the whole time, and I must have
been in the water over un hour, I did
not entirely lose consciousness. They
pulled me in and brought me here-■'*
