Itawever, If the Samford amendment is weak, the Car- Hisle amendment ts strong enough to carry out one of the purposes of the bill, which fsa demand for an unconditional surrender. on the part of the National banks. The more Mr, Carliste’s amendment Is studied, the more it is discovered thut it proposes to reve- tIntionize any existing banklag conditions, and proposes to tle the hands of tho banks so that they cannot reduee thelr cireulation on the une hand, while on the other it is in- tended to compel them to purchase $200,- 000,000 of bonds, and to make It impracticable for them to retire a slngte dollar of thelr cfr- eulacon, should they wish, But THE WANKS ARE NOT LIKELY TO BUBMIT to such a law, or to place themselves entirely In the hands of such an fron-bound rule. ‘There are already {ndications that, if It shall seem probable that the Senate will pass the Dit fn the form in whieh itis ikaly to leave the House, the banks will not walt for the Inw to go Into operation, but, before it can be approved, will avall them- selves of tho provislons of tho existing ‘law authorizing tho retirement, and take advantage of the premium upon their de- posited bonds. ‘Che result inight bo a violent change in the conditions of the currency IN A SINGLE WEBI It has been discovered, too, sluce tho bill was Inst discussed, that the effects of Speaker Randall's amendment relative to what he enlls ® the crime of double lulurest uuen the Goyerntnent bonds" will be to give the hold- ers of $200,000,000 of 6 per cent bonds Interest forthirty days which they are not now en- to reeelye, In other words, Mr. Ravdall has done present thege bondholders with $1,000,000 which belongs to the Government. ‘Tho movement fora B per cent sliort-term bond in the form proposed by tho House 1s, of course, amovement In opposition to re- funding, and is In the interest of speculators, The Wall street sharks could have no more eficient agents than those who ary now en- gincoring the bitl tu the House.

A TALK WITH Its. Spectat Dapateh to The Chieago Tribune, Wasninatoy, D.C, Jan. 17.—Mr.. Carllsie frankly admitted that, in hls opinion, 03 per cent short bond eainot pe sold nt par, and he hopes that the DHL wil be amended In the Senate by Increasing the jterm of the bond to twenty or thirty years, Sucha bond, he believes, would sell, and yet lt would never reach so high a premium that the Govern- ment could not afford to redeem’ it atany tine, to the extent that the surplus revenues would permit, Mr, Carlisle also thinks that hisamendinent allowing the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, in his discretion, te use $50,000,000 of the coin now Inthe Treasury tu Bay, bonds bearing Saud 6 ver cent interest wil be A POWERFUL WEA to use against the National banks. Me sald: “Suppose that the Secretary of the Treasury calls $50,000,000 of 5 and 6 ver cent bonds, owned by National banks, and depostted to secure circulation, and the banks : REFUSE TO EXCHANGE THEM for 3 percents. The Secretary of the Trens- ury can at once buy those bonds wit}: the cash. Tho banks, ifthey desire toretain thelr elreulation, will then be compelled to buy 8 per cents, for no other bonds will be recelved for. that purpose. When’ the transaction is completed the Secretary will have back his $50,000,000 {11 coin... and the banks will have substituted $50,000,0000 of 3 per cent bonds for the same amount of Sand GOpereent bonds; ‘The same process ean be repeated ng often as necessary, until all the 5 and 6 per cent bohds deposited by the banks to secure thelr clreulation are replaced by 3 per cent bonds.” Afr, Carlisle expresses some uneasiness lest the Refunding bill will after all be defeated In the House, He thinks its consideration in Committee of the Whole will be fished to-morrow.

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasuisatoy, D, €., Jan. 1%.—Senator Saulsoury had intended to have brought up the Kellogg case in the Senate after the business hour, and it was rumored among the Democratic Senators that Senator Conk- ng had avowed lis determination in the Re- publican caucus to resist Kellogg’s expul- sion, even If it became necessary to fitlbus- -teruntilthe 4th of March, A-number of the Democrats who were absent were hastily summoned by the mounted pages, but it was half-past 2 before Senator Saulsbury moved. to postpone all prior orders and take up the Kelloggease. Senator Carpenter promptly an-, tagonized It with the Ben Holladay clalur, and Senator Ben Hill, who evidently was not eager for the fry, suggested walting an- other day or so until cortain documents ~ could be reprinted. But SENATON SAULSBURY WAS INEXORABLE, and insisted on @ vote on his motton to lay aside the regular order and take up tho Kel- lugg case. To his surpriso and apparent dis- gust nine Democrats aud Senator Davis yoted no. So hls motion was lost by a vote of 20 yeus agalnst 3 nays. The Democrats-who yoted nay were Bayard, Butler, Groome, La- ~ + mar, Pendleton, Thurman, Voorhees, Will- intns, and Whyte.

They will not, under any cir- cumstances, he thinks, vote to unseat him, or to reopen the case, The tenth’ man, Mr. Voorhces, ts an advocate of the Holladay bill, but Mr. Kellogg - thinks that even he will never vote to reopen the question. SENATOR BAULSBULY, who has set his heart on unseating Kellogg, {s reported to be very indignant st the fallure of the Democrats to yote for his resolution. Me is reported to have sald this evening : thathe would nover again ask a favor of the Senate, a3 the Democratic party could never be depended upon fn an emergency.
