He has secn considerablc of active ‘service in tho field.

In Jami- ary, 1970, he was appointed to succeed 8ir Will- fsm Mansficld as Commander-in-Chiel of the forces in India.

The Duke of Cambriage, Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's forces, openly declared, at a hanquet given ac that time in Lord Napler's honor, that such would undoubtedly be the casc, and the statement when It went forth was warmly Indorsed and approved by the British public. Lord Napler is said to have deprecated thc motfon him- scif, suggesting that, inasmuch as he had had his opoortunitics, and had done his best with them, it would be better to let others have thelr chance.

Special Dispatch to The Tribuns. Wasmington, D. C., March 1.—Tho Siiver law is still discussed. No opintons scem to hiave been changed. ‘The Becretary of the Treas- ury now clalms that the rise u sliver Is tem- vorary. He calls it a feverish temporary tend- ency, fle predlets evil for the country from thy bill, bt promiscs the wost faithful exe- The fundiog of ts, he ways, s G-percents into 4-per- almust stopped. Ile prediets great em-, barrassment it the bonds return from Europe fo large quantitics, and thinks this Is the only measure which can be procured from this Congress. He thinks that at least twenty Benators who voted for the bill will not support soy MORE ADVANCED SILVER LEGISLATION. McMillan, Cameron of Wisconsiu, and Win- dom have made thelr final stand upon the pres- ent blil, and will go no further. Becretary Shere man belleves the Bullion-Certifieate bill, which the sliver-men will provuse at an early day, will not pass. He says, also, that the present law with regrard to gold certilleates is flusory. 1t is an option which the Treasury never carrics out. Judge Buckner, Chalrman of the Banking and Currency Committee,says ho does notexpect any finmediate relicf from tho bil). Ho thinks tus domand for siiver at the Custom-House witl causy a rise. Buckner thinks the bill likely to be adopted by the Boukiog and Currency Com- mittee will be one to put silver bullion ON TILE 8AME POOTING WITI GOLD bullion, aud authorize the {ssue of siiver bullion certificates for the actuat amount of deposits only, and not as lu case of gold certificates, for 25 per cent over amount of deposts. He thinks thosc who opposc absolute free colnagm might avor thls., Rtepresentatives Cox, nud Mouroe,of Ublo, ara displeased with the veto, on the ground that it says the Stlver bill {s dishoncst. Thcy say it places them fu a faise licht, THE PRESIDENT manifested no disnosition to talk on the subject of the blll to-day. Ono gentleman spoke of the bill, andt was answered by an Inqulry as to the state of the cotton crop Iu South Carolina. The geutleman replied that he was not a planter, and dido't kuow anything about cotton, and then again turned ou the Sliver bill, saylug that Congress seemed to be fn some haste. * Yes," sald the President, *indecent haste,” and then proceeded to agaln question his visitor about the cotton crop. The Treasurer of the United Btates is making every preparation for the disburscment of stiver wheu the time come. 1le hopes to pay the rala- rics of members of Cougress for March {n sllver dollars. ‘The monthly pay of a member ls $417, the weight of which Iu silver will be about twenty-five pounds. ‘There aro about 300 mem- bers and delegates, so that the weight of silver required to pay the House of Representatives will ba 7,500 pouuds; or three tons aud three- quarters. But of course the members can re- celve colu certificates. PIUST INTENTIONS. The first intention of the President in vetoing the Silver LIl was to traosmit a very brief mes- sage of ten or o dozen printed lines premisfor that ofter tho discussion of the subject in Con- gress nothlug new could be sald, though he bad given it all prover consideration, sad ho found himselt constrained to withhold his signature, because be thought the measure impaired the credit of the uation, and lnvolved a violatlon of faith with {ts creditors, Sccretary Sherman, however, was anxious to add the statement In regand to the division of the public debt, show- lug the portion incurred in gold, and the under- standing in regard to each portion of the debt, and this led to a longer message, and the final ahape in which It appeared. TOW THE LAW MAY DN XVADED. Notwithstanding Sccretary 8herman’ sur. ances that the Bilver bill will be honestly cxe- cuted, suma (rlends o the measure haye doubts, aud think the law may bs tewporarily defeated by unfriendly construction, ‘here is no deci- slon as to the mode of Lisuipg the new dollar, Cougress left It to the discretion of the Becre- tary, When the dollar is coloed it becomes current mouey, subject to the coutrolof the Becretary of the Treasury only, and not to the demand of citizens. If the statement of some ‘Treasury officers 1s correct, tho law may be in- tergreted 50 that sllver could well be treaped as gold - peserve. The effect would be to exchange gold for sliver, and under such coustruction all silver colu would be treated ‘on the Treasury books as gold, and be placed lo the coin® balsuces, sud uot get tuto clrculation. Very few think Sher- man would have the sudacity and temerity to 8o coustrus tho law, Sowe Governwment oflicials say that the Secre- tafy of the Treasury will not use silver to pay thy interest on the publicdebt. This statewent 1s made on high suthority. THE MINTS, MAKING RRADY. Bpeciat Dispatch to The Tribune, Wasuixaron, D.
