The forty-one are to be put down as in favor of the rcmonetization of #llver In some form, but it {s very manifest that there will be SERIOUS DIVISIONS s to the terms of nuy proposed remonotization bill. The prester portion of the forty-one favor the Bland bill, aod an unlimited legal-tender, but a considerable number desiro to restrict the legal-tender functions. Besides, many of the abscntee Benators arc- opposed ¢ the bill, and cvery absent opponent of the biil counts equal totwo for it in-sccuring the ncceasary two- thirds to overcome a veto, Senator David Davis sald to-night that the Silver bill was gure to paes. * When asked if the vote taken yesterday was any indicstion ot what it would be on the flnal passage, hie replied that the vote surprised hit, and it was not alto- getber improbable that it MIGHT DE AN INDICATION. He dwelt at length ou the extraordinary vote taken on the assignment of “the bill, atd sald: It will be s great thing if the Seoats should pass the bill over a veto, and fn my judgment tuosc who were inclined tovote agatnst (¢ would scarcely vole to assign ft as they did.
