After some debate it was decided | 5%, that the judiciary committee would not hear oral statements from par- ties or counsel in either the Runkle | 1 or Draper cases.

Mr. seck s3id he would, to mor- row morniug call up for discuesion, his resolution regarding the sinking tfund for payment of the public debt. After the morning hour the Sen- ate resumed consideration of the resolution of Mr. Mathews, to pay interest and principal of bonds in store, and Mr, Lamar epoke In re. gsrd thereto. Mr. Lamar said he would vote aguinst both the presolution and amendment of Mr. Edmunds be- cause neither stated the cass fairly. He concurred asa lawyer that these boads, by the act of 1269, were pay- able in greenbacks. According to the literal construction of the core tract it would have made no differ- erence in what they were payable, bad the government redeemed its greenbacks sccording to promiee, making them convertible, Since spe- cie payments were suspended, and greenbacks depreciated by default of the government, the question arose whether it would stand upon iis Literal contract and pay in currency depreciated by its own default. But legslators then deemed it equitable and politic to proclaim that the bouds wonld be paid in coin. Had they not so decided 1t would have been impossible to fond the debu st a lower rate, and thc same is true mnow: He did not regard 1t wise to stand upon any purely legal view of the case. However logical such action, it was impracticable. Another objection is that Mr. Edniunds’ amsndment implies committal against remonet- 1zation--an 1mplication which seems unwise at present. He balieved there was more than one method of putting silver on a solid, lasting foundation as the currency of this country, so that it may be so incorporatedin the system of the cov-*ry as to supply the long felt wt | { satisty popular demand and not shock the great interests in- volved by co-operation with nations which favor remonetization. A legal ratio between gold and silve: might be fixed so as to make a double or alternative standard prac ticable for all commercial purposes However, concert of action is indis- pensable to do this. He was no monometalist, but he did not be- lieve any of the bills before Con- gress were the necessary measures. There is no_earthly boon more recious than good health, and it 100Ves its possessor to endeavor to retain it.

Dravuine Supiod” Tait it FROM YESTERDAY'S SECOND EDITION 3:30 0°CLOCK P, M. Exeltement — Vietoria's Personal Letter to the Czaf. London, January 24 —Everything points to & Russian advance on Con- llzntmurls unless the Turkish en- voys yleld every point of the Ras- sian demands. No definite infor- mation has yet been obtained from them, and all previous pretended annou_cements of thetr action are now acknowledged false. 7 he greatest excitement and dis- order prevails st Consiantinople, where fears of foreign massacre are loudly binted. A Russian occupa- tion of Constantinople 18 now looked upon as more than probable, and does ot creste as much opposition here as might have beeu expected. Queen Victoria’s personal letter to the Czar was read in the House of Commons last night, being merely a formal expression of & high hope that the Czar Would accelerate the uegotiations for an armistice which may lead to an honorable peace. By mauy this note is considered s equivalent to saying that, if ne. gotiations be not hastened, the Queen’s government will consider that one ot the unexpected ocour- rences referred to m her speech at the opening ot Parlisment has a nived, and that a decisive step to. wardsfintervention will at once be taken. Cavinet meetings are held daily, and every one looks for the most important action ahortly, Gen. Gourko is gaid to be hasten- g toward Gallipoli, to cut off trans. portation ot Suleiman Pasha’s army to Lonstantinople by sea, the latter having reached the seacoast of Kra. vala. Duwing his retreat he lost about 4,000 killed, 3,000 prisoners, ard fifty guns. PRESS COMMENTS. Berlin January 24.—SemI-Official Provisional Correspoudence says it perceives in the earnest and guc- cessful negotiations for an armistice the probability of speedy and con- clusive peace. The article adds: Complete peace will not be settled by twe belligetents at once and so- lution of questions which have to be wken into consideration cannot toa certain extent ba effected without previous understanding of Europe- an powers and their co-operation, but relations hitherto subsisting be- tween the powers appear toafford grounds for trusting that at this de- cisive moment of eastern complica. tions success will attend the efforts made to bring about a solution, while fally protecting interests of the general peace. A pledge of this seems to be afforded by wisdom and moderation of the Emperor of Rus- sis, his intimate union with nelgh. boring powers, and the peaceful dis- position recently manifested by kn- gland, Adrianople. DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY. Adrianople is situated at the con- fluence of the Tundjs, the Maritza, and the Arda, and is about 135 miles from Constantinople. Its popula tion bas been variously estimated at from 80,000 to 140,000 inhabitants, According to the most trustworthy accounts sbout half of these are Turks, 30,000 Bulgaria: d Greeks and the remainder Jews and Arme- nians. Adrianople was taken by the Turks from the Greck emperors in 1362 and was made the Capital of the Turkish Empire, re- maining so until Constantinople was seized 1n 1453. It is st present vir- tually an open town. The old part is surrrounded by a wall and con- tains a citadel, but these are now useless as defenses. Hecently more modern works have been construct. ed by the Turks, but these are only of field or at most of a provisional type. 1n the opinion of Von Moltke, the hollow roads, ditches, and gar- den walls without the town afford great facilities for its defense,and the approaches may be covered by troops 80 a8 to rest upon the rivers, but only in corps of not lees than 30,000 or 40,000 men. The town is how. ever overlooked by heights on every side, and, consequently it would be hardly possible to hold it against an army provided with modern artil- lery. The first view of Adrianople is described by Von Moltke as being wonderfully beautitul, the white winarets and thelow-roofed cupolas of the mosques, baths, and caravan- serias rising in countless numbers above the eudless mass of white flat roofs and the broad tops of the plane trees. The country around is also exceedingly lovely. From the valleys of the rivers hills rise up geatly, but to a consid. erable height, covered with vine- yardsand orchards; and as far as theeye can reacn it sees nothing but fertile fields, groves of fruit trees and flourishing villages. With- in, however, the streets are narrow and irregular, the sheiving roofs of many of the houses projecting 8o as to meet those on the upposite side of the way. ITS PROPOSED TRANSFER TO THE BLACK SEA. Lendon Morning Advertiser, ‘We understand, on the best au- thority, that the question is under discussion at St. Petersburg of trans- ferring the naval power of Russia from the Northern Beas to Nicol- aleg, Nebastopol, or some other port in the south. For some years past theauthorities have fully recognized the difficulty of mainiaining an ef- ficient iron-clad fleet at Cronstadi, which, for six months out the twelve,is surrounded by ice,and they have waited for the ripening of the eastern question to give the project serious consideration. The time is now felt to haye come when the opening of the Dardanelles to the squadrons of Russia may be looked upon asa certainty, and two points will ir. consequence be brought un. der immediate discussion—the first as to the selection of the harbor in the Black e, and the second as to the extent that Cronstadt shail be dismantled of its present exclusive naval power. A strong feeling ex- ists In favor of restoring Nebastopol to 1ts former colossal proportions, but on account of the ruins which encumber the harbor and the ha- bility of the port to be severed from the mainland, many members of the Bt. Peters- burg admiralty regard the project with disfavor. At the same time the inconveniences of Nicolaieff are tully recognized, and both Odessa and Eertch are, 80 far as dockyards ave concerned, considered to be al- together out of the question. An impreesion prevauls that Sebastopol will be the port selected as the head quarters of the nayal power in the eouth; thot some point will be cho- sen near the mouth of the Danube to answer the same purpose that Kertch does to the fiver Don, and that a strong naval station will be established at Batoum, the acquisi- tion of which is regarded in _official quarters as being beyond & doubt. o —— £15 NATAONAL CAPITAL, BOASTED ECONOMY. Washington, January 24.—The boasted Democratic economy of the 1ast sesslon, under the revelations of the needed deficiency bills, bhas grown rapidly less at tne close of the fiscal year. It was only $19,000,000, in placeof $28,000,000 or $30,000,000 claimed. Threeand a half millivzs of this was the saving in interest, with which the House had nothing 1o do. Oneand a half millions was on account of Bristow’s reduction of the custom house expenses, and subsequent deficiency bills will make a still further reduction of nearly five millions, thus leaving the total of the Democratic econo- my a little over nme mil- lions. Even this has seriously crippled several branches of the public service, and the Democrats themselves are now moving to re- store some of the offices which were cutoff. As an example, Mr. Cly- me. in the appropriation committee yesterdey moved to have the Minis- ter to Bolivia restored ana consuls also sent back to that nation. He urged as a reason that one Pennsyl- vania company was shipping heav- ily to poris in that country, one cargo alone of late having reached $30,000. Consular protection was needed. The restoration of several other stations, cut cff to increase the Democratic showing of economy, is now urged by the Demacrats. A DISTRICT BOND JOB. A large lobby of New York bank- ers and brokers who are friendly with the District of Columbia ring, are here to procure the passage of 8 bill making provision for the pay- ment of 1nterest on the District 3- 654 bonds permanently by the Unit- ed States, These bonds are 20 per cent. below par, and a resumption of that interest by the goverament would rawse them materially and enable the holders to unload at a large profit. They are working bar1 to get the matier before an in- vestigation committee as to wheth- er the bonds were illegally issued or not, as it is said many millions of them were. The holders expect to operate through Fernando Wood’s committee, and hope to induce Mr. Sayler, of Ohio, a3 a man of nation- al reputation, to shoulder the re- sponsibility of engineering the bill through. INSOLVENT BANK TAX(S. The Benate finance committee agreed to recommend the passage (with sundry amendments) of the bill introduced by Senator Davis, of Tllinois, to remit the taxes on ineol- 'vent savings banks. The following is the bill to remit the taxes on insolventsavings banks as amended by the finance commut- tee and reported to the Senate : Be it enacted, That any tax due or claimed to bs due from a savings bank which was in existence on June 18th, 1874, and which has claimed to be and bas been recog- nized as such by the laws of its state, and which has made returns a8 a savings bank to the bureau of internal revenue, and which shall have been ascertained by the com- missioner of internal reyenue to be insolvent, then any tax due or claimed to be due by such bank to the United Htates at the time or du- ring such insolvency shall bean- nulled, but no tax already paid shall be refanded, nor shall any such tax be abated except in 8o far as the col- lection thereof would uperate to lea- sen the sum received by the deposit- ors in sucH bank. MAIL PACKAGES STOLEN. The Postmaster General has re- cently received numerous com- plaints that merchandise packages are taken from the mails. Investi gation of many cases shows that they were stolen before they were deposited in tte department. The Postmaster General is now in_cor- respondence with Eikill, an official of the London postoffice, Who has prepared a system of checks which he thinks will prevent these losses. The Postmaster General will rec- | P! ommend that Congress authorizean experiment. THE WHISHY TAX. There is just one majority in the waye and means committee for a reduction of the tax on whisky to wixty cents. The following are the members in favor of the reduction : @ibson, Tucker, Kelly, Harris, Rob- bins and Sayler. Burchard, of Iili~ nois, was but bas changed his mind. The president has sppointea H. C. Young and John Grossins, of Ohio, and George P. Hart and John C. Hartidge of Florida, honorary commissioners to the Paris exhibi- tion. They were nominated by the Governors of their respective States. The government is in & dilemma in the case of Mr, Hilliard, of Georgia, Democrat, nominated for Minister to Brazil during the extra session. After considerable delay a favorably report was msde, but no actioh was taken by the Benate. Upon the adjournment of Congress the Becretary of State telegraphed to Mr. Hilliard, who in the mean- time had arrived at his post, that he was no longer a Minister of the United States, as the Senate bad failed to confirm him. The Committee on Foreign Affairs now seem to be less disposed than ever to make s report at all in _his case. The government is suxious that some action be taken, as there is now a vacancy in the mission to that country, and important ques- tions pending require a representa. tive with fall powers. It is ascer- tained that the Democrats are not disposed to espouse his cause and the Republ:cans will not. Benator Ferry, chairman of the senate committee on post offices and post roads, submitted to Benator Matthews, yesterday, the written charges preferred against J. P. Loge. Sepator Matthews expressed the greatest surprise, and realizing that the nomination would not be con- firmed with the charges not satis- factorily explained, telegraphed Loge tbat he must come on and meet them. Even the strongest friends of Loge admit that if the statemenis of Mr. Seasongond and Mr. Throner are true, that he can- not be confirmed. e — San Franeisco, Junoary 23.—Agi- tators Kearney, Knight, Wellock and Hayward, were released from conflnement on bail yesterday after- noon, 'WASHINGTON. Depredations on Timber Lands. Results of the Vigorous Measures {0 Break Up Timber Stealing. Amonnt Realized by the Treasuy f.0m Selsures in Minuesota, Louistaus, Mislssippt and Other States, Washinr£>3 Dievatch to the New York Times The reform theoriss introduced by Becretary. Schurz, in dealing with trespassérs npon the timber lands of the United States, bave thus far re- sulted in covering a large sum of money into the treasury, aud have effectually broken up some of the enterprising and practical “groups” which have been realizing larze profits from cuttng timber on the public {ands. A statement is now being prepared at the Interlor De partment showing what has been done to recover for trespasses here- tofore made, and new plans are be- ing formed for continuing oper: tions for the protection of the gov- ernment. The report of the commis- sloner of the general land office for 1877 shows that from Jauuary 1, 1856, until January 1, 1877, & period of twenty-one years,the total amount of money deposited in the Treasury on account of timber trespass was $199,958, and the total amount paid out for the recovery of that sum was $45,625, leaving & net balance of $154,373, which is a little more than the valun of timber on 5,000 acres of good pine land. Under the old system, if it can be called system, the goyernment had little or no protection against tres- pass, agents of the government be ing permitted to compromise and settle with the depredators. On April 2 last Becretary Schurz adopt- ed an entirely new system for the purpose of Collecting damages for the waste and devastation already committed, and more particularly for stoppicg fature deprepations, A circular was 1ssued by the General Land Office, by the direction of the Becretary, detailing clerks to act un- der the iramediate instructions of the Comuuissioner in ascertaining when, where, and by whom depre- dations have been committed on the public lands, all tbe factsin each case being reported to the commis- stoner. Clerks and employes are proibited under the new regula tions from making any compromise for depredations committed. Al Ppropositions submitted to them with that object in view are to be report- ed to the Land Office, with a full statement of the facts, showing the nature and extent of the depreds tions, when and by whom commit- ted, the amount and value of the timber cut, and the valueof the land in its present and former condition. On the reception of these reportsthe commissioner of the Land Office is required to make a report to the secretary, giving his opinion upon the cases presented, in order that such proceedings may be taken in the prem1ses as may be deemed nec- essary. In accordance with these instructions, special sgents were appointed, or clerks in the General Land Office were detailed, | to investigate the trespasses upon public Iands in the several States, and upon their reports, suits, both criminal and ecivil, were instituted to cover the damages sustained and to punish the trespassers. As far as reports have been received, the fol. lowing results have been obtained: In the State of Minnesota 78 civil and 25 criminal suits have been commenced and prosecuted to final judgments, resulting in verdicts in Tavor of the government in every case. Where the logs or timber were subject {o seizire, they were eeized, and upon judgment being rendered some have beensold. The amount thus realized from the sale of logs in Minnesota is nearly $13, 000, and the judgments rendered amount to $3,775. Thesesuits were tor trespasses committed during the winter of 1876-7, and resulted in verdicts in favor of the Government for 5337,686 feet of logs or their valuo, Many trespasses were un- doubtediy commitied during the last winter of which the department has not official information, but all cases reported have been prosecuted with- out distinction. Trespasses aggrega- ting more than 60,000,000 of feet, committed in past years, have been reported, and suits for the value of the logs will be commenced. One of the prineipal objects sought to be accomplished by this new system 18 to stop fature depredations and tres: asses upon the public lands, and it Iands. The amount of money re celved from the proceeds of the sales of timber, cut on the public lands, since January 9, 1877, is $02,- 338, or more than one-third of the whole amount received trom the same source during the period cov- ered by the 21 years preceding. In order to carry on thls work successfully, an appropriation will be required, and the Secretary of tue Interior will shortly ask Coogress (o fursish him the necessary funds to enable him to secure indemuity to the government for past depreds. tions, and prevent trespasses n the future. THE MATTHEWS RESOLUTION. Washington Dispatch to the Chica b- ne, i As the time for iaking & vot° on the Matthews resolution approacher, the silver men are bcoming more earnest. The debate is drawing toa close, and the vote will doubtles Fe taken to-morrow. The silver men now claim fifty-two votes, which 1s morethan the necessary two-thirds. Butler, ot South Uarolina, however, has defined himself 8s opposed to silver. He had for a time been coun- ted on the other eide. When the Matthews resolution comes (0 a vote Mr. Conkling’* attempt to make ita Jomt Instead of aconcurrent resolu- tion will be first voted on, then the next amendment of Senator Ed- wunds, and lastly the resolution, and the final vote will draw forth the whole strength of the extreme silver men. THE SYNDICATE. HSeveral members of the Syndi- cate, whose contract with the gov- erament for the sale of the 4 per cent. bonds has lately been termi- nated by the secretary of tke treasu- ry, are expected in Washington this evening. They come to arrange for the settlement of their business with the government, and to induce tie President and secretary of the treas- ury to release them from their last subseription of $10,000,000. They have represented to Secretary Sher- man that his success in his new un- dertaking—to sell the 4 per cent vonds to the people—will depend upon such arelease. If theyare re- quired to keep these bonds and pay for them they will be obiiged to sell them and go into the market in competition with the Government. No concluslou has been reached on the subject, but it waa considered in- cidentally in tne cabluet meeting today. Becretary Shermar told the cabinet that he thought the prospect good for the success of his plan of selling the 4 per cent bonds to the peoble. FRONTIER. NOTES FROM THE HILLS. Deadwood, D. T, January 24.— The first clear up Wwas made yester- day from ore from _the Reno mine, situated near Gayville, which yields 250 ounces of gold, valued by bank- ers here at a fraction over $4,500 Ninety-three tons of cre was crush- ed, averaging $50 per ton. Yesterday morning’s Pioneer con- tains the following : Major D. H. Conkling has returned ‘rom the sec- ond trip to the newly dizcover- ed oll regions near Jenney's stockade. He reports that peop'e from every section of the Hills| are arriving to secure claims, There are at present fifty-two claims lo- cated, & cabin being built or. each. Mesers, Bascom and Randall, who have bad much experience in other oil regions, have taken up claims three miles distaut from the oil springs. They pronounce the indi- cations for ol the best they bave ev- er witnessed. About ten miles north of the ofl springs six salt springs have been discovered, from one gallon of which one ponnd of pure salt was extracted. Several partles are making preparations to put up pans for salt extraction. Sunday evening a party of six In- dians undertook to drive some hors- e from Blitcher’s ranche, situated about seven miles from Crook City. The only inmate of the ranche was a Mr. Collins, who, by continual firing, scared the Indians off before they could get the stoox. EGREAT BRITAIN, BREADSIUFFS TRADE. London, January 24.—The Mark Lane Exprees says: Imports of for- e1gn wheat into London haveshown the market is falling off, and the bulk of 1ast week’s arrivals was from America and Germany. Busmess has been almost at a standatill, as buyers and sellers haye been waiting anxiously to see what course politi- cal affairs will take. Our stocks s believed this object has been fully attained in the Siateof Minnesota. The necessity, however, for a vigor- ous prosecution of the work in that Btate still exists, and if the Govern- ent is to realize what it should for lands already despoiled jt must not relax 1ts efforts mn this direction. In the Btate of Louisiana, Calas- ieu Parsh, about 28,000,000 feet of 10gs were seized by the U. 8. Mar- shal in May last, at the instance of a special agent of the Interior De- partment, of which a portion has been sold, realizing $10,932, and the bslance still remains in custody. Recently, near Shreveport, a large quanity of logs and lumber was az:zed, estimated to be worlh §96,- 0. 1n the Siate of Mississippi 70suits have been commenced, bas:d upon the investigations and reports of the agents of the Interior Department, and lumber fogs, and turpentine, es. timated to be worth $368,408, seized. Trespasses have been committed in this State in the most bold and reck- less manner. Entire counties in the southern portion of the State have been devastated, the principal oceu- pation of the people in that section appearing to be the stealing of jum- ber from the public lands. These lands were valuable only for the timber growing upon them, and this timber kas been removed to & very large extent, the United States re. celving no consideration whatever therefor. In Florida 12 suits have been commenced, 6 civil and 6 criminal The value ot the logs and timber seized in this btate is estimated at §111,800. The investigations show that the trespasses in Florida have been quite 88 extensive as those in Lousiana and Mississippl. Investigations made also show that the extensive trespasses have been committed upon public Isnds in Arkansas, Alabams, Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin, Califoraia, Oregon, and the Territories of Washington, Montana, and Utah. Bo far as reported, 190 civil ana 38 criminal suiis have been com- menced, aud the property seized is estimated to be worth $873,723. An saguregate statement of the proper- ty thus far seized cannot be given at this time, but it is quite a large sum. If the work, which is stilf in its infancy, is vigorously prosecut- ed, it must result in the placing of several bundred thousand dol- 1ars in the tressury, and preventing further trespassing on goyernment. of wheat are moderate, and our prospective supplies in- sufficlent to exercise any great de- | d pressing influence on tne future |} course of prices. Millers are, as far a8 can ba ascertained, holding very light stocks, and should events turn out of a less positive nature than the recent anticipations have led us to suppose, a large demand may be predicted both for wheat and feed- | ing stuffs. Trade therefore remains { dull, Prices have suffered very lit- tle decline either for wheat or feed. ing stuffs. RECRUITING FOR THE OUBAS ARMY. New York, January 24.—Tt is ru- mored that Benor Miguel Aldams, the confidential agent of the repub- Tie of Cuba, 18 enrolling recruits for the insurgent navy, at his office, No. 35 Broadway.
