‘lv NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1876—TRIPLE SHEET. WASHINGTON Propositions for the Solution of the Currency Question. PAYMENT OF INTEREST ON GREENBACKS The Danger of Substituting Silver for Fractional Currency, THE CLYMER = INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE. Agreement of the Democratic Caucus Commit- tee on the Payne Bill, THE EMMA MINE INVESTIGATION. FROM OUR SPECIAL “CORRESPONDENT, Wasuxarox, March 15, 1876, THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE CURRENCY QUES- TION—PLANS SUBMITTED TO BRING GREEN- BACKS TO PAR. In view of the radical differences upon the currency question among the democrats in both houses, and the Preponderance of seutiment among them in favor of eteenbacks and against national banks, and the stren- uous opposition to contraction, a member of the House, who has made a very thorough study of the whole currency question, has prepared a measure which he has submitted to the criticism of friends and which is likely to be presented in the House, Its Principal features are these:—The Secretary of the ‘Treasury is directed to give notice on the Ist day of July next that greenbacks will be received on deposit at the New York Sub-Treasury in sums of $1,000 and multiples thereof, for which cer- tifleates shall be issued drawing two per cent Per annum interest, and this rate of interest shall be increased at the rate of one-half of one per cent per annum until greenbacks are at par with gold, the interest not to exceed six per cent at any time. The greenbacks so deposited are to be kept separate, and the holder of the certificate is to receive the same notes which were deposited, and the notes may be withdrawn at any time by the depositor, But” national banks are — prohib- ited from depositing their reserves. When greenbacks have becn maintained at par for two years the Secre. tary may pay gold in return for greenbacks deposited, whereupon the greenbacks are to be destroyed and bew notes issued in place of them, redeemable in gold, and for the redemption of these the Treasury is to keep bn hand at ail times a reserve equal to thirty-three per ent of the notes issued up to $00,000,000, and for all Issues beyond that is to keep dollar for dollar in gold, Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, has a plan some- what similar, which he has laia before a prominent tember of the House, and which ts said to have the lavor of some New England members, The following 's his plan:— Bosrox, March 13, 1876, 1 take the first leisure moment after my return to re- fuce my suggestion to form. The worst form of cur- Fency is the legal tender note, by reason of its in- theo .. Its tluctuation since 1870 is represented by he so called premium on gold, ranging trom 1065, to 122%. ‘The best form is currency convertible into yolt. It is true money versus a lie, Be- ‘ween the two is there not a form Mf property sufficiently stable to serve as a yridge? Possibly there 18. A filty-year four per cent bond, interest ble quarterly in gold, would, if ts- jued, become established at something less than par in for Say ninety-three to ninety-five. Itwould fluctuate ut little, but its tendency would be constant toward par in specie, PROPOSITIONS, First—Issue $400,000,000 fifty year four per cent donds, and yive the privilege to convert legul tender Aotes into them at par, Second—Permit conversion of said bonds into plain freasury notes, not Jegal tender, but receivable for all maxes and dues like bank notes; such notes reconverti- dle into bonds. Lawful money is only needed in settle- mepts atlaw. For ordivary purposes a note of the same value would meet all requirements and, if the ove plan were adopted, the standard of value would pe the bond. Hence the legal tender note, the bank Vote and the Treasury note would take the'same rate w value in the market—that is, the value of the bond. Result,—Contraction of legal tender money or evi- feuce of debt, now inforced circulation, coupled with wm abundance of currency of equal value "for all ordi- ary purposes. Conditions, —Banks must continue to redeem their Ywn notes in lawful money or greenbacks, only, but hould be empowered to take special deposits and Jrant discounts, payable in Treasury notes, msequ janks will surrender their notes and pell their bonds. They will invest the proceeds in ifty- your tour per conts, hold a portion in reserve, take out fressery notes for’ circulation and doa regular bank- ing busin on this basis. There will be no fluctua- tion in the value of the curreucy except an upward Aendency to par. When par is reached the prices of =) merchandise will also be at parin specie, Then he Treasury notes may be made redeemable in com. Banks may then be prohibited in taking deposits OF granting discounts on any basis except coin. If the people then elected to keep and use the Treasury notes @s currency, well and good; if they preferred bank notes, banks would again deposit bonds as security and take ‘out bank notes payable in specie ou demand. Respecttully submitted, EVWARD ATKINSON, HE PROPOSED SUBSTITUTION OF SILVER YOR FRACTIONAL CURRENCY—OEPOSITION DEVEL- OPING IN THE HOUSE—-A PROLONGED DEBATE ON THE QUESTION ANTICIPATED. It ts probable that Mr. Randall will to-morrow ask the House to postpone the consideration of the Legisla- tive, Executive and Judicial Appropriation bills in Order to take up the Silver Resumption bill. The Secretary of the Treasury finds himself with $15,000,000 ef silver on his hands, purchased under the Resumpuon bet of last year, and for which he has paid about 57d, sterling an ounce, while it 1s now worth only 634d, and it is generally believed among experts that it will fall to 484. He ts naturally desirous to got this cle. phant off his hands, but there will be strong opposition ¢ House to the passage of a bill substituting silver fof fractional currency. Mr. Hewitt, of New York, has Prepared a speech, in which he will show the mischict of Buch ‘a step, the losses which it will ceriainly impose ‘Upon the country and the persons who will suffer loss, who are tne working people; and other speakers will also bo heard on the samo side, and the debate will be earnest and probably pro- @onged, It is not improbable that the House, Mf i rejects the general substitution of silver for fractional currency, as it ought to, may allow the Becretary to put out the $15,000,000 he has coined and on hand, as it is believed that this will remain in Bhe pockets of the people, as tokens, and in any fase, if the issue stops there, there will not be B Fedundance of silver coin. There are members sf the House so infatuated with the idea of silver resumption, ®0 called, that they already Speak of further legislation making silver legal tender Jor sums of ten, yy and even a hundred dollars, ‘Tho question puzzics a great many of the members, Bnd a thorough discussion of it is needed to make the flanger generally understood with which the country 18 threatened by this so-called silver resumption scheme. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasurxetox, March 15, 1576. ADOPTION OF THE PAYXE BILL BY THE DEMO- CRATIC CAUCUS COMMITTEE—ITS PROVISIONS— HARD-MONEY SENTIMENT ON THE INCREASE. After a session of over four hours this evening the democratic caucus voted for Payne's bill by twenty- one majority. The specches were limited to five Minutes each, and no one was allowed to exceed the time. Curiously enough the sen- timent of the House was iargely in favor of hard money, having undergone a sudden, not to say extraordinary, change, which the shrewder. ones say (was induced by tho approach of the election in Connec- tieut. The Payne bill provides tor the repeal of the Resumption act in the matier of a fixed date; for re- sumption and the accumulation by the Treasury and Danks of a gold reserve of three per cent annually until ‘they have thirty per cent on band. ‘The mimority report, presented by Mr. Bright, pro- ‘vides for the repeal ot the Resumption law, making @ilver legal tender in dollar pieces to the extent of $100 | amd in subsidiary coins to the extent of $10. Tue exact vote was 67 to 46. Two votes wefe taken, and the minority report was rejected by a vot@ of 48 to 67. ‘THE ACTION OF THE SENATE ON THE NOMIMA- TION OF MR. DANA—AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE AFFORDED HIM TO ANSWER . BUTLER'S CHARGES, Yesterday, when it was decided by the Senate com- mittee not toconfirm the President’s nomination of Mr. Dana as Minister Sehenck’s successor, word was ‘Sent to the White House that unless the name was withdrawn and another sent in as a substitute the committee would report to the Senate adversely. Upon this Mr, Dana’s friends protested, and asked that the charges against him be made known that they might meet them. Word was sent to Boston as to the situation, and a despatch immediately came back to Mr. Dawes asking him to use his influence in persuading the committee to wait a few days before reporting to the House, Ag Mr, Dawes was not on the best of terms with Mr, Cam- eron, the chairman, Mr. Boutwell was called on to in- tercede, which he did with success, Secretary Fish was then consulted, and after a full discussion of the case it was decided to give Mr, Dana a bearing and tune to meet the charges made by General Butler against him. 1t was also agreed to withhold a further nomina. tion until after next Tuesday, the day set for Mr. Dana to appear and make his statement, THE PRESIDENT AND COLONEL FRED GRANT EXCULPATED FROM CONNECTION WITH THE REAL ESTATE POOL, Kilbourne, who continues in jail for refusing to an- swer the interrogatories of the select committee ap- pointed to investigate the doings of the Washington real estate pool, denied, in an interview to-day with a Heratp reporter, that either President Grant or Colonel Fred Grant was in the pool, ang wsserted that there was nothing aflecting the Presideny.n the whole thing, THE CAPTURE OF THE CUBAN PIONEER BEFORE THE COMMITTEE EIGN AFFAIRS, Captain F. L. Norton, who commanded the Cuban schooner Pioneer, which was made a prize in the har- vor of Newport by the revenue cutter Moccasin in 1872 on a charge of being a Cuban privateer, was heard before the Committee on Foreign Affairs to-day with reference to matters alleged against the State Depart- ment, The witness did not conclude his testimony and left to-night for New York, GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, SCHOONER ON FOR- Wasuinctox, March 15, 1876. LABORS OF THE CLYMER INVESTIGATING COM- MITTEE—EXAMINATION OF COLOXEL GRAF- TON—-WHAT THE WITNESS DID NOT TELL GENERAL BOYNTON—-WHAT GENERAL KIDDOO DID AND DID NOT SAY—MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE REQUIRED TO PLACE THEMSELVES ON THE BECORD. Colonel Grafton was examined to-day before the Commuttee on Expenditures in the War Department The chairman said to him that @ telegram ap- peared in Tae New York Herarp of tho Sth inst, containing certain information concern- ing the committee and himself, and that Mr. Nordhoff, tho author of the telegram, said he obtained the information from General Boynton; further, that Goneral Boynton yesterday testified that he obtained bis first information from Mr. Wilson, then from Mr. Shellabarger and next from Colonel Grafton, The wit- ness in reply said the conversation he had with Gen- eral Boynton was a weck ago last Saturday. He thought he did not tell General Boynton in conversation that Mrs, Bower, Mr. and Mrs. Marsh, Mr, Pendleton and Mr. Clymer travelled together in Europe, and that some of the parties became ac- quainted with the main facts alluded to 10 the telegram aftecting Mr. Pendleton. The witness related the con- versation ke had with General Boynton, which the lat- ter repented yesterday. He did not think he stated to General Boynton that General Kiddoo told bim mr. Clymer refused to investigate the Pendleton matter, but that he said he had not sufficient data, The witness did not tell General Boynton anything that reflected on the committee. He derived from General Kiddoo the impression that there was an indisposition on the part of the committee to examine into the facts. General Kiddoo never stated that Mr. Clymer travelled in Europe with the parties above mentioned. General Kiddoo said he met Mr. Clymer in Europe, but that he never met him with those ‘parties, General Kiddoo never said that Mr, Clymer attended a meeting at tho Arlington Hotel with Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Belknap, nor did the witness say so to General Boynton, Colonel Gratton stated that Gencral Kiddoo had in- formed him that sometime previous to tho morning upon which the resolution of impeachment was re- ported in the House, he (Kiddoo) had told Mr. Clymer that if he pulled down Belknap ‘in this matter he must pull down his friend Pendleton also iu the matter of the Kentucky Cerftral Railroad claim; that Mr. Clymer said he did not have the proper data to in- vestigate that charge. The witness Grafton further id that Kiddoo had told him that he (Kiddoo) had said toClymer that Mrs, Marsh would testify to what Mrs. Belknap had said to ber in rela- tion to this Kentucky Railroad claim in the interview atthe Arlington, Grafton further said that Kiddoo told him that bo ‘had said to Clymer that it this wag not investigated he would give the mutter to the press, Grafton, however, said he did not think Kiddoo had any intention of giving it to the press. Mr. Blackburn offered a resolution that everything done as agreed to by this committee shall be accepted ag the action ofeach member present at the meoting in which such action is had, unless a dissent therefrom shall be entered upon the records by tho disagreeing member or membera, ‘The resolution was adopted:—Yeas, Messrs. Clymer, Blackburn and Robbing; nays, Messrs. Bass and Dan- ford. Mr. Bass entered his protest against the resolutions as being unnecessary and unheard of. William Ernst, Treasurer of the Kentucky Central Railroad Company, was examined, and testified that all parties in interest in the Kentucky Central Rail- road assented to the arrangement with Mr, Pendleton for collecting the claiin of thet company, and so far as he knew bone dissented from the terms of settle. ment, He did not know of any portion of the money being used improperly by Mr. Pendleton or anybody elso to influence the payment of the claim. They re- garded the claim as eminently just and proper, There was nothing doubtful ia it, but it was difficult of set. tlement. The committee examined several other witnesses 1m relation to trading posts generally, and adjourned tll noon to-morrow, GENERAL SCHENCK'S CONNECTION WITH THR EMMA MINE—CORRESPONDENCE IN RELATION THERRTO BETWEEN THE STATE DEPARTMENT AND THE MINISTER. The Committee on Foreign Affairs will resume the examination of the Emma mine scandal on Tuesday, when it is expected that General Schenck, with other parties, will testify on the subject. The committee to- day made public their correspondence with the Secre- tary of State; which includes the following letter:— DEPARTMENT OF STAT! Wasmixetox, D. C., Mareh 16, 1876. To the Hon. Tuomas Swaxx, Chairman Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives :— Sin—I have to acknowledge the reception of your Rote of the Sth inst. communicating a resolation adopted by the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House ot Representatives requesting to be informe whether “a leave of abseace bad been granted to General Schenck and the date thereof,” and turther, usking that ail correspondence jeneral Sehenck or with fer Britannic $ government in reference to him since the communication of the Secretary of State, dated | Febraary 9 1876, be communicated to the committee | In reply | tave to say thaton the Sth of February | General Schenck telegraphed from London, in sul stance, that « telegraphic despatch, publisued in th London newspapers of that morning, informed him that on the preceding day the House of Representativ had & resolution instructing the F tions Comamnitice to ascert had ken 19 relation to Lis conn mine; that if, on account of the nious misrepresentations with which he had been pur- sued, the Presidout considered that be embarrassed his administration and Was no longer useful in his positio nd being grateful for his past conudence and support he should cheerfully aceept bis judginent and would resign bis commission into bis hauds, but that he should remain there ta London in any event tor & time, although the cost of residence and litigation injuriow oou be to him personally, to vind | his name, and to meet, answer and pose of legal ‘proceedings which any parties might have threatened to iustitute agwinst hin, cond. deutly relying on the fairness of a British court of might justice. Onthe th be inquired if he could be per- | mitted to make public in London bis bony om sent the day before, and was informed that the i did Bot think it necessary to act upon the telegram and that such publication was not admissible, On the llth of February a telegram was sent him, stating that the President welained, full friendship for him, regretted the bitterness with which be was assailed, and adhered tothe opinion that his connection with the Emma mine an unfortunate indiseretion, but without im- proper motive on his part, and he that his early withdrawal therefrom would have quieted the strong public that such had not his telegram of the 8th threw upon the P; responsibility of acce; apting OF declining to accopt a ten- dered resignation, and in the latter case of anpearing to insist on his retention in the face of a public de- mand, more or less strong, under which the President remained quiet, in the full conviction that bis conduct had been free of wrong purpose, and ip the absence of any expressed willingness on his part to resign; that now, having voluntarily expressed his readiness to re- Neve the President from any embarrassment which the Position, might involve, Swit kind. foolings toward ‘im, he felt that, under existing circum- stances, his resignation would relieve him from embarrassment, and that it could be made either by telegraph or by lettcr, to take effect when his successor should enter upon the duties of the post, On the léth of February General Schenck t raphed that he failed to reconcile the telegram of the 9th, informing him that the President did not think it necessary to act ‘on his of the 8th, with that reeeivea Saturday, commu- nicating his view of his offer; but he promptly acceded to the suggestion, and would send his resignation in writing by next inail, On the 2ist of February Gen- eral Schenck telegraphed that, having placed his resig- patlan.crane eredaente disposal, , pending the inguiry ordered by the Houst epresel ives, he asked leave to repair to Washington to appear belore the committee, On the 23d of February he was informed by telegraph that leave of absence, with permission to return to the United States, was given; that the inquiry of the House was to ascertain the ‘action taken by the Executive Department of the government in rela- tion to his connection with the company ‘and the pros- ecution of the claim; that a reply id been sent and the committee would probably soon report, On the 24th General Schenck telegraphed that he would go to the United States, as permitted, provided the inquiry into his conduct proceeded; that,-in the meantime, be awaited the committee’s report and the President's action on his resignation, sent on the 19th. On the 29th of February, as General Schenck had expressed a desire to return and appear before the oamunuiites, he was informed that the committee had reported the’ in- formation furnished by the department, which was re- committed, and that the House had adopted a resolution authorizing the committee to inguire further into Min- ister Schenck’s connection with theinine, and tosend for persons and papers.

On the 2d of March General Schenck tele- graphed he had tendered his resignation when the ac- tion of the Executive was questioned, and that as his own conduct was now the subject of charges and 1- vestigation he assumed the President's de- cision on his offer would be suspended while this proceeding was pending.

The examination of witnesses by the committee charged with the investigation of the Alaska Conimer- cial Company is nearly concluded, General G. P. Shrie, formerly Paymaster of the United States Army at Sitka, testified to-day that he visited the Seal Islands with General Jeflerson C. Davis in 1869, and during a few hours which he spent on St. Paui’s Island he made inquiries, by means of inter- preters, with a view of procuring information on which to base a bid for the lease of the island. He was act- ing in the interest of one Kincaid, sutler of the port at Sitka, and a man named Shirpser. He complained that time enough had not been given for bids to be sent into the department, On cross-examination he ad- mitted that his bid had been r ved at the Treasury Department before the award was made. When asked whether the Alaska Commercial Company had futled to comply with its contract he replied that they had un- doubtedly fulfilled their obligations. He did not think they would be foolish enough to kill the goose that laid the golden ogg for thom. Secretary Bristow testified that the company had in his opinion comphed with their contract and were logally entitled to their privileges. He said if he had discovered any failure on their part to fulfil their obligations he should have annulled the lease, fall au- thority to do so being given him by law. Mr. James, chief of the customs division of the Treasury Department, testified that, althougn be had nothing to do with awarding the lease, vet all the business subsequently had been transacted through his office, and he was assured that the company had faith- fully complied with their duties to the government, Thus far the evidence before the committee discloses no wrongful act on the part of the company or any of its agents, and the only question raised is a legai one, which was decided by the officers of tho government when the leaso was awarded, NO RECEIVER FOR THE NATIONAL BANK OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
