A COMPROMISEZ MEASURE. ‘Wasnmatow, D, 0., April 26,—Tho Bonato Fi- nance Commltteo will this weok consider the Houso Financo bill, Itis thought by many con- sorvativo men that a bill may bo framed acoopt- ablo to the Benato combining the feature of re- demytion propased in that bill; with the right to iasu additional bank notes on {ho condition that & tortatn proportion of logal tonder sball be withdrawn at the samo time, and many are of opinfon that if such a bill shall bo roported from the Benato Committeo with a provision authoriz~ ing fros nnnmn{;, it will pes tho Sonate and élol;u, and rocoivo tho spprovalof tho Prosi- ont. A GOMTROMISE PRODADLE. The financial question is still tho absorbing theme of disousslon hore, Tho blatant, bolster- ous mannor of spooch that provailed just hftor the voto has died out, aud has boon succoeded by & calmer, mote sontible way ot handling tho Bubjoct: It is plain that tho efforts 0 offool & compromiso which will hoal tho divislon in the Ropublioan party are beginning to have some effcct, and it I8 safo to sby that 'they will result in the adoption of & froe-bauking bill, with the provision as to the ro- duction of the. groenbaclk ciroulation to $800-, 000,000 incorporated in it. " THE PRINCIFAL DIFFICULTY at present in tho woy of this amicablo adjust- mont ia in the question as to how faat the green- backs shall be rotived. Tho inflationists aro auxious that the rato shall bo only 25: por cent of the National-Bank our- rency, a8 fost 88 issuod, while the anii-inflationists aro urging that tho retiroment shall be at tho rato of por dont.

Bpectal Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, Wsmratox, D, O., April 26.—And now oven the so-called newspapors of Washington City iro beginning to acknowledgo the gravity of the procoedings beforo tho Distriot Invostigation Committee last week. The Natfonal tepublican showed o disposition to hodge to-dsy. Tho Chronicle and the Herald como out fairly and nquflrol{_)ln advocacy of a change of government for the District, The Chronicle, indeed, asserts that it never was satisflod with the present form of govern- ment, and plumes itsel€ with boing the initiator of tho groat reform movoment. THE BUNDAY HEBALD, the meanest of all tho mad slinging shoets al- lowed to oxist in the District, discovoring that the abip Is in n sinking condition, propares to do- bark in the following manner : “ But at this snrflcnlnx timo the ciroumstauces in which wo find ourselves give force and appli- cation to considerations which seoured our ad- vocaoy in the past on account . of their politioul and economical soundnsss, and wo now LOOK TO CONGREUSIONAL INTERFERENCE 48 the only short cut out of our moral and ma- terial embarrassments, and the only ready solu- tionand pacification of whot may bo called the Distriot imbroglio, A very largo debt is piled up, not exolusively for the benefit of residents here, but to make the city a pleasant rondozvous to our countrymen from the East, West, North, and South, and a Capitol, in ite exterior aspeot, worthy the pride of 'tho groab country, Our ocitizens are wrangling ~among them- nolves and calling cach other .hard namos, ond if the present situation continuos, the dis- trust and animosity engendered will .blook tho whoels of progress, and mako our divisions the scsndal of the country.” ANYTIHING TO BTAY IN OFFIOE. The intimation by Fornoy's Chronicle that Bhepherd will lead in the movcmont for a change jo the form of the government is, it is undor- stood, offioislly warranted. He will doubtlosa be oined ~ by others of the pros- ent QGovernment - who aro anxious to have & bhaud in the sdministration of affalrs, whatever shape they may assume. As thoy aro all implicatod as acogssories, passive or notive, in frauds that have boon committed ss demonstrated before the Distriot Investiga- tion Committe, it is quostionablo whethor Congroas will give them anothor chance at the Public Treasury. e NOTES AND NEWS.
