WismatoN, D, O, May 13.~In accordance with the programme arranged by the caucus of Republican Sonators on Monday lagt, AMr. Shor- man, in the Senato to-dny, called up tho bill ro- ported from the T'inanco Committee a wook or ton daya ago, known ns the Sherman Finauce bill. The full toxt of, the bill Las already boen tolographed. Mr. Shorman explained the pro- visions of tho bill, mection by section, giving special attontion to the {free-bauking and ro- demption soctions. Thoao eminent statesmen, Bogy, Ferry, Mor- rimon, Oglesby, Logan, ‘Wright, and Macboth Morton gave great heed to Mr, Sherman's ro- marks, though it was qul‘o plain, from the sncor that pervaded Mr, Logan's noso and upper lp, tho occasional head-shako of Macbeth, aud the uneasy twitching of Morrimon's logs, that mis- clnef was in their minde, and that it had boen arranged among tho inflationists to interposs all orts of objoctions to cortain provisions of the bill, ANXIOUS TO BE HEARD. Logan and Merrimon with diffeulty main- tained silonce while Sherman conctuded his re- marks, and beforo the echo of his words had died nway, both thoss great statcsmen woro on thefr foot wildly demanding recognition from tho Chair. The Illinois statesman’s superior strongth of lungs won him thoe ear of tho Chair- man, and at the same time, the proud privilego of boing the first inflationict to raiss his mighty volce in opposition to the rotiring of groonbacks and futuro resumption. As usual, when about to do all the lllkin&‘ of & soesion, Mr, Logan announced ho would not msake u speeoh ; tuen ho bogan; LOOAN WANTS TO ENOW, What he wauted to know was: What would be tho immediato result upon the countryon the paseage of the bill just explainod by tho Chair- man of the Financo Commitice, oxpansion or contraction ? r. Shorman mildly informed him that Sco, 1 of the bill provided that all resorves now held by banks would be put in clrculation, and that, upon the whole, thera would bo an immediate increnso of tho volume of the currency of about $835,000,000, but 1t would be accomplished in such & way as to prevent depreciation, A MATUEMATICAL MUDDLY, Mr. Logan did not believo anything of the kind, and wet out to disprove the assertion by a mothomatical calculation which neithor he nor his auditors could undorstand, According to his figures, tho coat of increase provided for in Sec. 2 of tho bill was more than counterbalanced by the coutruliug process of Soo, 9, aud the result ho nrrived at was an incrense of 20 por cont circulation, and & docresse of 80 por cont. Upon the whole, 3Ir. Logan saw nothing in the bill that plessed him, and sut down, aftor telling the Sounto that unless it was modified an patchod up to suit bia views, it would not e~ ceive the sanction of iy vote. MERRIMON EXPNESSES WIS OBJECTIONS. Mr. Sherman did not appear to rogard Mr, Lo- f"" objections of sufllciont importgnco to mer- t & responso, and allowed Mr, Merrimon to ob- tain tho floor, and chatter away in his usual un- interesting and harmless way for half an hour or 80, by which timo the galleries wero empty, and uulch Bountors ea remained in tho cuamber, asleop, Hn’;\nluhgd ot Inst, and tho Benato took & vole on 3r. Beoit’s amondment, which was to strike out that portion of Bec. 2 of tha bill requiring National Banks to keop, a8 part of their reve- nues, oue-fourth of the coiu intorest received on United Statos bonds, ot. TUE AMENDMENT WAS DEFEATED by the decinive voto of 87 to 16, Mr. Wright then moved to amend Reo. 9, which makes it tho duty of the Becrotary of the Trensury to rotiroe 60 percentof groenbacks upou issuing ench million of National Bank cur- Teney, 5008 to read *f 25 per cout." Upon this roposition Mr, Wright aud Mr, Logan oach de- ivered two spoeches, and Morton, Howo, and Morrill, of Yermont, one apicce, Tondivg & Yote, the Bonntewwont into oxeoutive session, though not unul Mr. Sherman gave notice that be would insist upon sitting the bill through to- morrow if it took all night, TASSAGE OF TIHE DILL CONSIDERED PRODABLE, It is thought that the bill will bo adopred with only plight amendment. A Northwestern Senator of prominenco, who has hitherlo voted with tho oxtreme inflation party, said thia ovening that Lo was bocoming disgustod with the petty work of Logan and his crowd, and was uow ready to_stand by Mr. Shor- man and tho msjority of the Finance Jommittee, e RICHARDSON'S SUCCESSOR, Speotat Dupatels to The Chisago Tribune, UEN, SCHENOK'S ADVICK ABRED, ‘Wasuinarox, May 13.—Tho Presidont is all at Bon again in the matter of sccuring o succossor for Richardson.

THT FINANCE BILL. My, BCOTT said that unless the Sonntor from Ohio (Shorman) deemed it his_duty to call up the Finiance bill; ho (Scott) would asl the Senato to proceed to tho consideration of bilis from the Committee on Claims. Mr. SHERMAN said that bo aid foel it incum- bent on him to move to take up tho Financo ball, but he hoped its consideration would not occupy moro than to-day and to-morrow, Mr. SCOTT gave notico that nfter the Financo bill should bo disposed of, he wonll ask tho Senate to consider bills from the Committea on Cloims, The Benato then proceaded to tho conslder~ ation of the Finance bitl, NMr. THURMAN argued tbat free hanking would be fatal unleas accompanied by somo pro- vision to provide for coiu redemption. If tho Goverumont should at ouce assume the Tesponsi- bility of isswing all the circulating medium tho amount of interest saved by the Govelnmont would be about 813,075,000, but to abolish the National Banls tho Government would Joso nbout 818,000,000 of taxes now imposod tpon. thom. Aunother difficulty in rogard to tho United States Iasuing sl the currenoy was that it could only bo naid cutfar Gnvarnmentdies, Govornmont notes lind not thas quality of Hoxibilliy, whieh i india: pensabla to a ciroulativg medinm ‘I'he Uovern- ment cannot lonn money ; eannot move crops or entor into tho busivess of bnnking. Another objection was, that withi but ono-third of e currencyissuod-by-tho Governmont. there would be no poasibility of an equal distribution ; noth- ing to seouro loans or promoto disgounts unl cxchonges. Ho knew that many Senators fenred froe bauking, and would vote for it with some hesltancy, ‘Hhere wero somo ndvantages in. the aystem whioh Lie would not pass by, and ons of tao firat was that 1t would mfinnl the monopoly in bavk ng. He explained tho provisions for re- domption contained in the bill, aud eaid without tuem ho would never vote for freo banking.
