O, Jan. 21.—The financiol doctors of the Senato to-duy resumed their de- bate, Mr, Morrimon, of North Carolina, putting forward his prescription. Unlike other Southorn Senators, he contended that gold and milvor wore tho only atondards of value, and that it was imposstblo for Congress to make any Inw that would put greenbacks npon a par with coiu until a specie ‘basls for exchango wns cstablished. e favored 8 declaration that there should be a return to spocio payments on tho 4th day of July, 1876, tho ouc-hundredth anniversary of our na- tional indepondence. 1n closing his romarks, Mr. Merrimon alludod to ihe impoverisbod con- dition of tho South, ana said that, unless thore was mado & moro equitable division of the capi- tal throughout the country, the West and South would rise up in arms against tho Enut.

The American Company Negotiates a Loan of $5,000,080 in London. Certain Revenues of the Dominican Government to Be Given as Securities. The -Payment of Certain Repudiated Dominican Bonds Assured. Special Dispatch to The Chicagn Tribune, New Yonrk, Jan, 31,—1It became known in this city to-day, by privato cablo dispaten, for the first time that the Samana Bay Company had negotiated a loan of $5,000,000 in London, and, a8 part of the negatiation, the Company agreo to take up the Hartmount bouds, which were re- pudiated by the Baoz Government. It alao be- cumo known that two of tho throo Commission~ ers who wero sppointed to nogotiate thia Joan loft Englandon the 17th inst for this country, for the purposoof compleling arrangomonta ‘which the procuring of the loan made necossary. Tho persous in London, it is said, who advauced this Joan WILL TAKF, IN EXCIANGE BTOCK as woll as bunds of the Bamana Bay Company, which will givo them additional intorest in the succoss of the entorprise. THE IARTMOUNT BONDS, for which the Samana Bay Company is eaid to havo becomo responsible, wore negotisted for the Dominican Gévornment by Ool. Hartmount in 1869, aud smounted to £750,000. The Do- minicon Government recoived only about £50,000 of this, tho remainder of tho mouoy suddenly aud unaccountably disappearing, Sub- sequently THE NONDS WERE REPUDIATED by the Baez Goverumens. Wheu they learned this, it bocame apparent o the Commussionors for the Sunana Bay Company that, as long ns theso bouds romained in an_unsottlod stato, all oorcs to negotiate a loan on Santo Domiugo property or on nn}}' Buuto Domingo enterprise woulid be futilo, Having an mtetcst in the good cradit of the CGovernmont under which it held its loase, tho Samaua Bay Company decuded to remove this obstaolo a8 soon a8 possible. Thoy decided tiat tho best way of doing this was by tho absorption of the repudiated boads, for payment of which THE FOLLOWING SEGURITIZS have beon given: First, all tho rovenues derived by the Domiuican Goverumont from customns 3 utoond, the revenues realized from railroads to be coustructed with money raised on thetr bonds; third, the revenues to be derived from thio sale of zusuo from the doposits on the island of Atta- voln, whioh belongs to the Republic; and, fourth, auy rovonue aceruing to tho Dominican Govern~ ment from tho mines of Sumaua. ‘Chie principal vaiua of the poninsule of Ssmaus propor is 1T8 FITNESS FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES, aud, so far as known, It contaius no miueral de- pusts, All the mines on the island are In the intorior, snd most are in tho control of the Bamana Bay Company. It was thought by the Commussionors that the feld that the Company possessce in these mines might load to somo Borious complications unless the Hartmount bonds were redeemed, and probably tais con- sideration intluonced tho sction of those who negotintod the loan, Chis loan will BERVE S8EVEDAL GOOD PURPUSES: Romove hoso_troublesome bonds; give the Bumavs Bay Compsny additional fuuds with whicl to carry ous 1ta onterprise; open the Lon- don market Yo the Samans Bay Company, and streugthon the woakeuug oredit of the Domini- can Government, Mr, Spoitord, Vice-Presideut of tho Company, Baid to-day that he had no doubt but that the Toport of ~the nogotintion of thi loan wan true.
