THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE I'RIDAY- JANUAKY 1870, 15, no other purpose than to e pleaded In the civil sults pending; that they are songht to ®AVE THA RING'S PLUNDER, not to save anybody from the punishment for erime, Hence the determination not to act upon the recommendation of Judge Blodgett ami District-Attorney Bangs, and grant a par- don now. It is thought here by persons in high rtatfons that, on account_of this recommenda- tion, District-Attorney Bangs will turn the rases over 1o somebody else to manage, as it is uried that it wonld be manifestly improper for him to nppear for the Government, The Treas- ury authorities are reported to be displeased with Ranua’ course, ‘The “gecoml h ch ™ cascs, Involving ahont 810,000 of taxes wiil also go to trial. LAMAR, ¥ERY LITTLE SILVER AND A VAST DAL OP DEMOCRATIC PARTISANSHII, snectal Dispatch to Thas Uhicago Tribune, WasmisatoN, Do C., Jan, 24.—The speech of Lamar oo the silver question was listened to with evident luterest on nccount of the pecullar position which he vccupfles. All doubt as to hfs ultimate actlon in reference to the Matthews resolution was removed by the announcement trom himsclf that hie intended to vote agalnst it. He opposed the remonetizstion of sliver, Lt thought some plan could be found and pere tected by which the two standards could be barmoniously blemled. The Iatter portion of nls speceh was on national politics, and was evi- dently fntended to placate his iome friends in thie Legislature of Mieslssippl, who have scvere- 1y erfticised hls courscon the sifver question, He took the old ground that the South furnished the brains and the Northern Democracy the votes, and that when the Boutliern Scnators and Representatives retired from the legislative lails of the Republic in the winter of 1510-'61 they turned over the Government in a fine and prosperoug condition. He quoted from a speech lelfvered at an impeachment trfal before tho Eeuato to show that the Republicans had brought abont n different condition of thinge, and declared that a restoration of the old Tlemocracy was the only panacea for our na- tlonal {lls. THURMAN AND EDMUNDS, Later (n the afternoon there was a pleasant little word ekirmish hetween Thurman and Ed- munds, followed by a short speech from Ker- nan. To-morrow It {8 expected that the voting will e commenced, and Senator Matthews hopes to defeat the amendments and pass the resolution hefore an adjournment, though a night gession should Le necessars. T118 SPEECIT. To the Western Associated Press. WasmixaroN, I, C., Jon, 24.—In the Scnato to-dav Mr. Lamar, of Mississinpf, E:'wu his views on the silver question at length. The following 18 a synopeis of his speech: Mr. Lamar lirst_read the reeolution of Mr, Matthews and next the nmendment thereto sub- mitted by thie Senator from Yermont (Edmunde), and sakd: I shall vote, Mr. President, agalnst Loth of these resolusions, because I belleve tho Issue thus made gud olned does not sct forth falrly and fully the true {ssuc_involved in tho great chanwe which is proposed to be wrought 1 the mouctary system of this country hy cer- tain measurca ow calling for the action of this body. I concur in the opinfon as n Jawyer that nt the time of the passage of the nct of 1560 thesc honds were payable in ereenbacks according to tho literal construc- tion of the contract as it waa originally exe- cuted. It woulid not huve been a matter of any importance; It would not hiave been a question cither of interest or inquiry whether they were payahle fu greenbacks, or gold, or silver, had thee Government performed its promiso of re- deemlng Its greenback currency and making it convertible, Then th loss WOULD HAVE DEEN UPON AN EQUALITY, nd the holder of our national sccuritica would have felt no more interest in tho question as to whether they would he paid in gold or silver than the holder of an English securiy Is now fu- terested in the question of the payment of Falish bond it notes of the Bank of "England or wold. But by resson of the suspension of rpecle payments, by reason of the fact ttat the Government hwd not performed its promise to redevm thuss notes, they wero depreelated, de- preciated by et and default of the Govern. auent, uml the question arose whother it would xtand upon its liteenl contract, and pay fta obligation in L'urn:m:f devreciated by its uwn uct and fts oyvn defauit.
