that position. Mr. Davia , of Illi
nois , voted with the Democrats.
Mr. Ferry wan the unanimous
< t- > choice of the .Republican caucus.
Mr. Bsck called up his resolution
declaring it inexpedient to impose
taxea at this tluie for the puapose of
providing for a sinking fund , and
directing the Secretary of the
Treasury not to purchase any bonds
for reduction of the principle of the
national tlobt until further orders
from Congress. Fencing ditcusslon
morning hour expired aud the sub.

Consideration was .resumed of uu-
objected bills on the calendir.
When the senate bill to organize
the life saving and coastguard ecr-

1IOCSE PKOOEEDIJiQS.
Mr. Rsagan , chairman of the com
mittee on commerce , reported back
the bill to regulate inter-State com
merce and prohibit unjust discrim
inations by common carriers. Or
dered printed and recommitted.
A petition seven hundred yards
long and oigned by titty thousand
names for the repeal of the law in
relation to the tran'smieskiu of mat
ter through the mails was referred.
Mr. Tipton , from the committee
on manufactures , reported n reaolu
tion which was ruled out , giving
committee more jurisdiction.
Mr. Steele , from the agricultural
committee , reported a bill r.j pr.iprl
atiug $10,000 for the eonirnibsion to
Investigate the cotton worm. Re
\ ferred to the committee of the
whole.
Mr. Southard explained that tbo
resolution introduced yesterday ou
the electoral question did not ex-
J Vess * his views , but was introduced
by request.
The speaker then called the com
mittees for reports.
Mr. Chalmers made a speech in
defense of the President's southern
policy and of the action of the .Lou
isiana authorities in the prosecution
of the members of the returning
board. He replied to the speeches
of Hale and Uarfield , nud in refer
ence to the latter said lha voica was
the voice of Jacob , but the hand i
was the hand of E--au.
Mr. Chalmers asserted that
Messrs. Hale and Garfleld cunning
ly assaulted the President's south
ern policy , and Aimed to diive the
President from his party or from
his policy , aud also 10 alienate
southern members.
Mr. Reagan made the point that
Mr. Chalmers was not making a
personal explanation , and deprecat
ed arousing bitterness.
Mr. Chalmers proceeded that
.Democrats didn't intend to build up
the Rspubhcan party by warring on
the President. He justified the returning -
turning board prosecutions in law ,
re&aou and justice. The man who
took up arms in defense of constitu
tional law was certainly no worse a
traitor than the one who robbed the
people of the fruits of elective
victories. Ho declared that history
would tihow that the South had not
kept bad faith. However , as Hayea
had done his constitutional duty in
marked contrast to his predecessor ,
he would , if governor or Louisiana ,
pardon the whole returning board
to remove any suspicion of iucrall-
tude. While nearly nil Republican
leaders were denouncing the Presi
dent for beeping hia word the south
would stand by him with few
exceptions It was republicans who
were sounding the notes of war on
Hayes , and not the democrats , who
were , through the returning board
prosecutions , making an attempt
against his title , as Mr. Garlield
claimed. He disbelieved the
Wormley bargain , but If made he
would not crlticke harshly its ma
ker.
ker.Mr.
Mr. Butler got the floor , the
House going into the dtate of the
Union , and made his finaucisl
speech. Ha declared himself for
lull restoration of silver coinage ,
and that to make hilver dollars full
legal tender was honest , legitimate ,
and demanded by exigencies of the
times. Ho denied that $ SO 000- ,
000 bonds or any such amount
had besn returned from
Iflurope , but wished it were true.
He wished six per ceuts and all
othera would roturu. He wanted to
see silver and wheat sent abroad io
pay our debts aud give us the bil-
anco of trade , He saw neither
wiEdom nor statesmanship in lock
ing our silver iu vaults , and depre
cated the withdrawal of paper cur
rency and substitution of tulwidia-
ry silver , as the people were to
be taxed an enormous eum repre
sented by five psr cent , compound
interest on flfty millions for thirty
years , and that If the secretary of
the treasury who framed tiiat meas
ure had ever sat down and mnde
calculation aud then foolishly cast
that enormous burden ou the
people , he ought to be hanged to
the nearest lamp post for malice
toward all mankind. If he hud not
done eo , he ought to be hanged at
all events for getting into an office
he could not rill.
Mr. Butler concluded as follows :
We want the greenback for our cur
rency and mean to have it , but I do
not desira that greenback currency
be made to serve the country as It
has done viilified , insulted , depre 3
ciated by act of the government
itself , being refused not only to be
received for all debts due the gov
ernment , not even paid far all de
mands due from the government ,
the American system of finance
which will obtain in the near
future , and I hope at once. What
1 desire is , first a dollar that shall
have at all times a certain Axel
and staple value , below which It
cannot go ; second , I demand a
dollar that shall be issued by the
government alone in the exercise of
its high prerogative and constitu
tional power , and that power shall
not bo delegated to any
corporation or individual any
more than Charles the Second
ought to have delegated his
prerogative of stamping gold coin
for the benefit of bin paramours as a
monopoly ; third , I want that dollar
stamped on some convenient and
cheap material of the least possible
intrinsic value , so that neither the
wear nor its destruction will be any
loss to the government issuing it ;
fourth , I nloo desire a dollar to be
made of such material for the pur
poae that it shall never be exported
or desirable to carry it out of the
country. In framing an American
f ystera of finance I do not propose
to adapt It to the wants of any oth
er nation , and especially the Chi
nese , who are nearlyonequarter
of the world. Fifth , I desire that
the dollar so issued shall
never be redeemed. I see no more
my cloth , or the quart with which I
measure my milk , shall bB redeem
ed ; sixth , for convenience ouly I
propose the dollar so issued shall be
quite equal or little better than the
profeut value of average gold del
lar of the world , not to be changed
or changeable : If the gold dollar
grows lower in value or grows
higher , not to be obliged to conform
itself in value in auy regard to tue
dollar of any other nation of the
world , keeping itself always etablo
nnii fixed , so that when the proper
ty of the country adjusts itself to it
8 a value it shall remain
the fiqcd standard forever ; but if
it is ever changed It shall change
equally and alike for the creditor
aud debtor , not as a dollar based up
on supposed gold. To give green
back currency thus desired a fixed
and stahlo value. - |

the Turkish Empire.
By Cable to ths Chicago Tribnm.
London , February 26. Russia hi
made another move toward Con
stantinople. The Grand Duke Nich
olas yesterday occupied San Stefauo ,
a village about ten miles west of
Constantinople on the eea of Mar
mora. At the same time reports of
Russia's terms of peace are circulat
ing , which show that no leniency
can bo expected.
Bulgaria will reach to Sslonlca ,
and will be occupied by 50 000 Rus
sians for two years. The amount of
indemnity demanded is enormous ,
amounting to more than France
paid to Germany , besides immense
cessions of territory. A demand
for the Turkish 11 set was pressed at
first , but it is slated that the Sultan
made euch

may therefore be expected that

to our readers. An investigation at

that this firm buy their goods by the

Georgetown , February 23. Soon
the great rush of excursionists will
be swarming among tbe mountains
of the west seeking pleasure and
health.
Wow that the Union Pacific com
pany has access to these beautiful
canyons and valleys and peaks ,
through the Colorado Central rail
road , they will , no doubt , be wise in
issuing excursion tickets , tbat passengers -
sengers may leave the main line at
Cheyenne and , after visiting here ,
return to renew their journey on the
continental line.
It is a pleasant ride , near the foot
hills from Cheyenne toDenverand
there are poiuts to switch off from
this road and visit the coal canyons
near.
near.At
At Longmont station , the high
peak of that name , is near and easy
of access. Seen from the plains from
great distauoes , it stands out in bold
relief , a laud mark that is admired
by every holder.
Go to the top , and the view ia in
deed grand , as the eye tekes in the
immense ranges , and peaks , with
their ever snow clad brows.
Pass on to Loveland and Boulder ,
and visit the cai na or the Thompson -
son and Boulder , and enjoy the
beautiful waterfalls of the latter.
.Near the town of Boulder tbe coal
mines will be of interest to those
who wish to inveatigate the mode of
mining.
A visit at Golden will afford an
opportunity of examining coal
mines , smelting work ) , and tie
manner of pulverizing aud leaching

The small but power'ul dummy
engine pufla away aud takes us
around curves , under hanging rooks
and up the Bleep grade , where but a
few yeara ago it was thought im
possible to operate a railroad. The
many trains now run are taxed to
do the vast business of these moun
tains.
Soon the road will be extended to
Central , and then the tight-seer will
get a view of the mines and milla
aud the cities built in the gulches ,
from a point away up on the sleep
das of thesa hllla.
All of tbe mines and mills of
Gilpln county are located here , ajd

At Central the stranger will find
good accommodations at the hotel * ,
thu leading one of which is the
Teller , from which the mines , mills
and tunnels can be visited and a
sight of how the precious metals are
collected from the thousands of tons
of "mill rock. "
Bald Mountain is near and affords
an elevated view , while James
Peak and North Peak entices U3
farther on.
In the Park hunting and fishing
may ha enjoyed amid the "beauties
of nature. A ride back down Clear
creek to the Forks and then up the
South Fork , or a drive or walk of
six miles , passing over a high ridge ,
and down Virginia canyon , brings
us to Idaho Springs , with ita fine
mineral waters and bathe , with a
fine hotel scon to be built.
Embarking on the Colorado Cen
tral railroad , Georgetown branch ,
we pass up Clear creek to George
town.
Here we find a small city sur
rounded with very high mountains
so high that the sunshine is shut
off much of the time. While Gllpin
county ores are principally gold , in
Clear Creek county , of whioh
Georgetown is the business centre ,
the ores are mostly silver , and the
mills are different and .will well re
pay a visit.
Gray's Peaks , Middle Park and
other places of resort are reached
from here , whllp immediately near
is Silver Plume , Brownsvlllsandthe
many long tunnels and deep mines.
At all of these places ample accom
modations are utlordcd in hotels and
liveries.
The writer has visited many of
these places thia winter , and if he
vas able to enjoy so much in tb.9
winter certainly excursionists , In
eearch of health and pleasure , will
bo gratified in the bright days of
summer and fall.
As many of these places are locat
ed at an elevation of "from six to
twelve thousand feet above the sea ,
running up hill la not to be indulged
in.
Down the Colorado Central railroad -
road from Georgetown many places
in the canyons afford delightful
stopping places.
After enjoying a season in the
mountains , a visit to Denver , the
City of the Plains , will surprise the
Eastern tourist , oolid and well
built , with all the modern improve
ments , and with all the essentials
and luxuries of the day , and with a
class of citizens possessing intelli
gence , polish aud enterprise. Den
ver extends a welcome to the stran
ger that is hearty and sincere , and
that charms the visitor. Embark
ing on the Denver &Kio Grande rail-
roada pleasant ride takes us to Gar
land. The many important points
of interest on this line will require
too much space for this letter.
After looking over these points ,
the tourist retuins direct to Chey
enne ov < .r tne same route along the
base of the mountains , and is pre
pared to take in all along the line of
the Onion and Central Pacific rail
roads , as he goes west to view the
wondeis ol Wyoming , Utah , Neva
da and California. .Nebraska should
prodtby these new railroad connec
tions.
So long a citizen of Nebraska ,
and here only as a transient visitor ,
I have given these items that you

Washington , D. C. , Feb. 27. The

None of the billH referred to the
Committee have been accepted , but
the bill agjeed upon is composed of
each. Here is the outline of the
proposed measure : Any holder of
lawful money , treasury notes or
coin , may deposit in sums not less
25 cents nor more than $25 weekly ,

Farther Notes Prom Exeter and
Friendville.
Exeter , Neb.Feb. 22. Yesterday
we announced the termination of
our Exeter correspondence , and the
expectation that our next letter
would be from Crete , but as we
have booked quite a number of items
wo are determined to dispose of
them in this letter.
FBlENDVIIJiE.
There has been a revolution for J.
B. Finch has been here since we
last wrote from this point More
than 450 signed the pledge and
donned tbe red ribbon , and among
them was one of the owners of the
principal saloon.
A bo&rd of arbitration decided the
question of his property rights
therein , and thus the saloon became
the sole property of his partner ,
Jttr M J JEgan , well-known among
the Omaha 'and Lincoln railroad
boys as n former B & M engineer ,
has purchased HF Morton's restaur
ant and bakery with all fixtures ,
slock , etc. , and Id running It In first
class style The baker and confec
tioner , Mr Perry , is still in charge
of tlihuqe ov. ns in the rear.
XXOTHEK COAL DISCO VERY.
Yesterday we chartered a double-
seated carriage aud a team of fast-
flyers ; we had no idea when we
ordered them that any such rig was
accessible in thia town of the prair
ies , but Homau's stable , with
all its resources could not
surpass for ease and swiftness
the outfit , which our landlord of the
Sunders house ( tiie best hotel in this
part of tbe State ) brought forth from
his well stocked stable.
Then followed a ride of seven
miles across the prairie. But little
attention was paid to roads , for the
surface ! was almost as smooth as a
floor and we coul J go as we pleased.
Seven miles out we drew up in front
oi the sod house or rather "dug out"
of Albert Miner , the originator of the
latest
COAIi SENSATION.
The house or pit , for it is more of
the latter than the former , being
about two-tbirda in the earth and
one-third in heaven , was simply a
hole in the ground 14x14 feet , with
a eod covering and a few tiers of
turf io raise the roof from the
ground. A few chairs , a bench , a
stove and a bed make an inventory
of the furniture.
We were cordially welcomed by a
pleasant , intelligent woman , with a
pretty baby. This was Mrs. Miner ,
and from her we obtained the coal
story , which is very similar to that
told by the discoverer of the Sutton
coal mine , and wo do not doubt but
that thia is the same vein that has
been struck in the more western lo
cality.
In June , 1876 , Mr. Miner sunk a
well on his homestead , to the depth
of 120 feet. Nearly a year after
wards he cleaned out the well by
dipping it dry , and in BO
doing he brought up some hard
black pieces of what he at first sup
posed to ba rock but which when
placed in the slovo'coon took fire
aud disappeared in white aahes.
Before concluding his labors the
water became so black and full of
coal dust that it was quite inky , for
we teke it for granted that the coal
actually does exist , as the neighbors
hayo tested the black chunks so
commonly drawn from tbe well
and yet , strange as It may seem ,
every one of them had reen burned
up and not a sample remained for
us to send to experts for
analysis. Th.'a ' place la only
and whenever tbe water runs low
the same trouble is now experienced
and chunks of coul ura brought up
quite often.
Stranjie to say , the man has ne"-
er eaid much about the matter , and
has never mnde an effort toward
testing the question of the extent
and value of the deposit.
Five miles from Exeter Is the
nearest station , but the best way to
reach the farm is from Friendville.
Last night there was a ball in
Frant/ Hall , in Friendville , and it
was a most enjoyable one.
