THe GREENBACK CONGRESSMAN FROM IOWA The following telegram was received by Col. Geo. B. Corkhill to-day: NGTON, Iowa, Oct. 9, 1878.—General J_B.

The vote for Walker Lere is, I trust, v y of a like result in the Congressional dist is Walker was the candidate of the repumi cans and nationals against Kenna, dem.

PrrKry, of Louisiana, who had a severe attack of the yellow fever and is here recuperating, says that up to the time he left New Orleans there had been but little politi- cal work dore inthe Congressional districts. He says that the republicans in New Or! have disintergrated, and that there is cons erable of a greenback element in that city. but that it does not extend to any other por- tion of the state.

KETCH\M’S NoMINATION. — An un usually large republican convention in Pough- Keepsie, ,on Tuesday unanimously and by acclamation renominated John H. Ketch- am for Congress from the 1th district, as was brietly mentioned in yesterday's Stak, Gen. Ketcham was elected Py 2,112 majority in 1875. His district is composed of Columbia, Duteh- ess and Putnam counties. He has long taken apartin public affairs. He was born at Do. ver, N. Y., in 1832, and_ bec: his town when only 22 le was sub- sequently sent to the state assembly, and in 180 and 1°61 he was elected 2 member of the state senate, and in this body rose rapidly a3 | a politician and man of affairs. The war for the union enlisted his sympathies, and in Oc- tober, I*2, he took command of the 159th New York volunteers and remained in active ser- vice for three years. By the spring of 1835 he was wearing the stars of a brig: r. His old neighbors having elected him to Congress, he to take a seat in the national th, then resigned legislature, and served his district in the 40th, 42d and. h Congresses.

McMahon and Reed have been r- elected, and Blackburn, Springer, and Hunton have been renominated. Gen. Butler’s guber- natorial candidacy threw him out of the con- a race, and Goy. J. D. Cox, of Ohio, id not seek a renomination. It is quite prob- able that Chairman Potter and Representa- ae iiscock will be renominated if they wish it. THE SUBSIDIARY SILVER COIN in the mints and sub-treasuries at the time of the passage of the law authorizing the coinage of stand- ard silver dollars amounted to nearly $8,000,- 000, and the issue his been fully up to the limit placed upon it by act of Congress, which pro- Vides that the outstanding issue of fractional paper notes and subsidiary silver coin sha!l hot at any time exceed $50,000,000. There has been a redundancy as to what are termed the minor coin—copper, nickel and bronze—and very few have been coined during the last three years. The Treasury has been called upon to redeem and has redeemed and s ill holds a large sum in these coins, which is available to meet the demands from all parts | ofthe country. The law reauires the Secre- tary of the Treasury to intermit the manufac- ture of minor coins whenever they are pre- sented at the Treasury for redemption in such amounts and in such sums as to show that they are redundant. The reduction at the yaacel ints mint made recently was for the reason that the appropriations made Con- xress Was not sufficient to meet expenses.

The happiest manin Washington is Sec- ietary Sherman. He construes the result o the election to mean that his policy of resump on is endorsed, and he is stimulated to active efforts to be prepared to comply with the terms of the resumption law when the time comes for its going into effect. Secretary McCrary says that to his mind the election indicates that the republicans are again to get the as- cendency. “If,” said he, “in the very agonies of resumption, as it were, Ohio can be carried against its Ren ecnement, it foreshadows that the party which advocates honest money is to te Popular with the great masses of the peo ee The democrats seem at a loss to know to what to ascribe their defeat. Some of them think that the recent gerrymander by the Ohio legislature, which was brought about by the ac- tive efforts of Speaker Randall, did the party more harm than good. Some of the veritable Bourbons say that Tilden’s money was sent into Ohio to bring about the result to kill Thurman off. This is unkind and uncharita- ble, but yet in the light of recent disclosures, Tilden is set down as Sly, “devilish sly, sir.” The result has also stimulated the rep bli- can congressional campaign, committe to re- newed activity. Between now and November every effort is to be pu! forward to carry New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connee- ticut. Despite the fact that in all the elec tions yet held the democrats have made gains in their Congressional delegations, it is yet within possibility and even probability that the repubiieans May capture the next Horse. The President is represented to be highly elated over the result, and constraes suit to be an endorsement of his adm: tion and its official act.

RIS SPEECH aT THE 5 The President, Mrs. Hayes, Secretary Sehurz, es General Devers and others visited Moutpeiler. Orange county, Va., the homesiead of Madison, yesterday. They were welcomed at Orange Court House by ex-Lieut. Gov. Thomas and at Montpelier by Col. Joun | | Willis, the grand nephew of Madison, to whose | addresses the President responded as follows: | | | Ladies and Gentlemen:—It is a great grati- fication indeed to be so welcomed to the liome of Madison. You have heard the beautiful | address just delivered by the nearest surviy- ing relative of James Madison—a man whose name will be held in grateful remembrance by the lovers of liberty and stable goverument as long as liberty and constitutional government exist on earth. Madison, having so linked his Bame and memory with the best law—the con- | stitution—the world has ever known, his fame is forever safe. He began the work of the for- mation of the constitution, and in the conven- tion he was a leading spirit, his wisdom and advice contributing to that result. After the constitution was framed by the convention it was for him to persuade the people to adopt it. In the convention of V itelnia there was a great struggle as to whether that common. wealth should ratify the constitution, and it Was largely due to the respect and apprecia tion the people had for the character of Madi- son and the influence of his counsels that this uestion was carried in the Virginia conven- tion. He assisted in carrying the constitution into effect as 2 member of Congress, as a member of the Cabinet, and as President | of the United States. After the close of | his bi life, no longer disturbed by | | | party conilicts, he survived for many years an interested spectator of passing events. Distinguished men of his time were glad of the opportunity to get at feet and hear his words of wisdom and patriotism. In my re- | marks at Orange Court house to-day I called | tention to au estimate of this country by | rT. Gladstone, which Ido not think too high. | is contained in an article written by that | distinguished statesman, entitled “Kin Be- | yond the Sea,” in which hesays: “The Ameri n constitution, so far as I can see, is the | | it wonderful work ever struck off at a ven tim the brain and purpose of man. shad ae ntury of trial under the pres. it | sure of exigencies eaused by an expansion un- | exampled in point of rapidity and range, and its exemption from formal change, th> not entire, has certainly proved the sa of the constructor and the stubborn stre' ofthe fabric. and memory of the man who did so much lor | the present and future of our country. In view of this beautiful scene. the magnificent range of ihe Biue Ridge, this verdant lawn and hospitabie mansion, here at the home of | Madison, we may surely say that if the advice | and patriotic purposes of this great man had been observed. from civil strife, and in the past. so in tie future, there are no troubles that can arise in the administration of affairs of our country that cannot be settled by a recurrence to agth | the priuciples of Madison—principles which | | inculcate the submission of all sections, | States, communities and citizens to the Con | stitution and laws of the land. The bo! | and foundation principles on which Madison built will always afford us the means oi ad- | justing all our difficulties. I, however, have | ho fears. Questions aun with danger may | recur, and we may sometimes be disposed to | look on the gloomy side, but let us all hope | that, with the model Constitution to guide us, the worst that can ever befall us is over. | Nothing can be so dangerous as the events | that have already transpired, and the scenes | through which we have already passed. My fellow-citizens, the President has to aid him in the discharge of his oflicial duties gentlemen called Cabinet Ministers. These gentlemen assist him in tinding the way to escape {rom difficulties. Most fortunately for the Presi dent, he is permitted to put some share of his troubles on semebody else, and the one that [ put the most troubles on is the Secretary of | the Interior.
