Hii uihV prviiiluiiiu, A(i4 i i hv work ujj tho dlspunxutlon, Mr, Bprlngur, of Illinois in chairman of the IIouso Committee on Banking and Currency was so Imprudent In ens of the 'last days of the late lamented Congress, as to raise the question of comparison between the administration of the Treasury Department, under Bee retary Sherman, and the current administration -the ClevelandCarllsle prestidigitation. Mr. Grosvenor of 'Ohio was quick accept the challenge, and said: "In the estimation of his countrymen and of the wine, clear-headed and intelligent statesmen of all the world, the administration of the Treasury Department under John Sherman was the highest demonstration of splendid financial ability ever, exhibited by any living man." ItTnay not be generally remembered that the Resumption act was a rarw Mr. Sherman In the Senate supporting it an act repealing the Resumption act was passed by the House. Three Ohio Republicans had voted for this repeal.

There was a widespread opinion that resumption, according to Sherman's plan, was Impossible. The revolutionary war debt never was paid, why should not our Inter-State war debt be allowed to perish also? April 1, 1878, Mr. Sherman appeared before a House committee to answer questions. It' was Important, as Hayes was then President and Sherman Secretary of the Treasury, to check the movement to prevent resumption. The argument against resumption was about the same that is now used in opposition to the policy of continuing to make all the currency as good as gold.

The cry was that specie payments could not be resumed; that we could not geon and make all money the equivalent of gold coin without crushing the country. Mr. Sherman told the House committee how much gold and coin he had on hand, and the statement was as follows: In gold coin. 1118,351,709 In gold 7,937,300 In subsidiary silver 5,675,494 And In silver -bullion 2,955,577 It will be observed that these figures were pretty healthy.

KRIDAT MARCH 1805. EIQHT PAGES. The celebration of Bismarck's birthday, April 1, twill be am unprecedented demon stratlon. "WilUaarf will be the prinoipal flsttirmr. The Bocrallst do not like It, ml refer in "the festival of all fools." Twlve dsiya are to be coupled with the festivities.

The students are to be re- ortvod oh the -birthday, April 1. The torchlight procession will be the night before. The German guilds, 11,000 arrive on tChe 11th. The students, in full recalls, -will apear with eight bands of nroolo, and there are to be "drinking bouts" In all the universities. 'American farmers are, to a considerable extent, in some of the States, of the epinlon that it is because, we resumed specie payments on the gold basis, that the price of wheat and cotton is down; and they, upon the same grade of in- orrrtatton, charge the great railroad monopolies, with such management, as to destroy the value of land by extortionate charges for moving the crops.

These gentlemen seem to miss the essential points' of things. The rent of the land in England is very low; but the English people have never accused the gold standard of being the author of their misfortunes. Whatever may be their deficiencies in general inteilirence, they know better than that. They know that the railroads that have opened the wheat areas of the United States, Argentina and India, and the swiftness and cheapness of transportation, have made the grain raised in England so low-priced as to reduce the value of land. The Indian and South American wheat competes with our Dakota product William Ecuri, in the markets abroad, and the price of wheat is down.

The money standard has absolutely nothing to do. with It. Silver, wheat an! cotton have been overproduoodi. We need to stimulate the production of sugar, barley and gold. The Chinese are steadily advancing, Ah.r,a(ilAn T.ilr rhlr nwn hnfilcA.

NO MORE LOBBYISTS PERMITTED ON THE FLOOR OF THE ASSEMBLY CHAMBER, SPEAKER FISH DECLARES SERGEANT BENSON DOE HIS DUTY-AGAIN JN THE MATTER OF EXPELLING- INTRUDERSSHORT SENATE SESSION TO-DAY, I (Special to The Standard Union.) Albany, N-Y March 8. The Senate had a very quiet session this morning-, not a quorum feeing present, and after a' run of ordinary routine business, Jit Senator Owens had In the box" three Administration bills, similar to those submitted in the Assembly, the first "authorizing the Common Council to allow repairing of streets with asphalt, granite or other improved pavement, upon the application of the property owners, the cost to be divided, half upon the city and half upon the owners. If in a railroad street, the railroad bears one-half the cost.

The second Is a bill to discover lawful claims against the old towns of Flat- bush, Gravesend and New Utrecht, and then to issue city bonds to cover the In debtedness. 1 The third Is a bill to permit the county to pay interest on new bonds in gold, at discretion. It Is similar to a bill of the same character for the city, and which will be In the hands at the Governor next week. Vacheron put in a bill calling- for an appropriation of J15.000 for the agricultural stations for Kings, Queens and counties. Dr.

Brush's resolution for the appoint ment, of a committee of two Senators and three Assemblymen to confer with the Kings County authorities in relation to St. Johnland came "over to the Senate for concurrencejust before adjournment. but as there was not a quorum present it was laid aside until Monday night, at the request of Senator Owens. There is an Important bill in prepara tion by Corporation Counsel McDonald, and which will be offered by Assembly man Wieman, contemplating1 the abroga tion or annullment of the of the East River Bridge Company and Its two bridges from the Eastern District and Hudson avenue. i It is charged that nothing has been done by the company that secured the charter; that it was fulsome in promises, but in practical work simply dug a hole in the rear yard of a house in the Eastern District.

The city will do the work. If the company does not. Assemblyman "Wray, by Introduced a bill that permits counties to borrow money in advance on unpaid taxes. The Gerry incident of yesterday came up again on the reading of the Journal of the Aseembly this morning. Speaker Fish said' that hereafter no one would be permitted on the floor of the House to lobby for any bill, good, bad, or indifferent.

Democratic leader Sam Foley said it was a sudden spasm of "virtue, as lob byists 'of all kinds had frequented the floor without Interruption until Mr. Gerry had been put out. Speaker Fish replied, -with some heat, that In twenty years of Legislature life he had never known the legislative chambers to be so free from lobbyists as at the present time. About this time a big yellow dog was seen meandering among the seats of the members, gazing upward at their faces. as though pleading for some new amend ment to the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals that having special reference to dogs of" his complexion.

While thus ruminating and pleading, a. small boy that formidable mischief-maker in good American society pinched his tail, and the canine set up a ferocious yell, and his presence aa a- lobbyist thus became known. Sergeant Alfred Garry Benson understood his duty. 'Without awaiting- or ders, to expel the daring intruder, in legislative rights, the brave and dashing sergeant leaped into the breach, grasping the animal by the neck, and, fixed In his arms, despite its struggles and terrific yelpings, he bore it outside the doors. The dignity of the House had been preserved.

John J. McGinnis, before he- left town last issued a manifesto against Assemblyman Frank Schuls, saying that he Intended, on next Tuesday night, at the 'County Committee meeting, to show that Schuls did not represent the Republican party In Albany, and to give him a lesson of the "people's-will." Schuls smiled this morning -when he heard of it. Hennessy has Introduced a bill exempting Schermerhorn street, between Flat-bush avenue and Smith street, from railroads. Dr. Brush's Police Justices bill is to have another hearing next Tuesday afternoon.

Police Justices, if they desire to appear, will be listened to. PERSONAL.

There is so much for a man of Mr, Stone's generous impulses to do that it Is hoped that ha will long remain to do it. Ihfrmna and Carlisle John Sherman, as Secretary of the Treasury, represented a perfectly understood, straightforward, open-air, solvent policy.

He was a very, important public character, with a broad and brilliant record of national use fulness during' Che war and' after the war; in the Johnson and In the Grant Administrations, and: it was well known that he was enlightened and sound on the great questions of political economy, and was so lnthnaiteiy acquainted with the history and science and business of money, that he was tine twan to depend upon to bring order out of chaos, and) build the foundations for the lasting prosperity of the reunite republic, with) slavery ex punged; nationality "assured, and the publio credit restored, re-established, 'heightened and expanded for the public good. His State Ohio was then the battleground between the school of finance that proposed inflation to the extent of repudiation and that which meant to rebuild on the rocks of ages; gold and silver. The leading Demo cratic statesman In Ohio was the Hon. George H. Pendleton, called.

by his admiring friends Greenbacks," because he was the respectable and talented advocate of paying the national debt in greenbacks. Judge Thurnian stood out long against this meretricious policy, but partially yielded to it at last, and lost prestige by doing so, though his party in the West welcomed all financial follies, and were enthusiastic In proportion as the 1 schemes advanced proposed for the public relief the Confederate remedies. It was not greenback, but grayback, that was at the bottom of the thing. The most critical of the Ohio contests on the money questions was in the Gubernatorial struggle of 187S, between R. Hayes and William Allen the latter Senator Thurman's uncle and fully committed to flat currency.

He did not believe In hard money, and asked: What better security could money have than the faith of a great people? This was specious. The test is as to the form of the expression of the public fattn. Then the greenbackers were, as the silver rushers are now, for the unlimited "coining" of their favor ite currency. "Coining" paper is greenback language. The formulae of the groenbacker was that "the volume of the currency must equal the wants of trade." the silver demand Is for cheap money for the "relief" of the people; and, of course, coinage of that has already reached a sum unparalleled in our country, and never in any age or country equaled in the same time, must be "free and unlimited." Hayes won by a very amall'margln.

He met the issue square ly, and his strongest supporters on the stump were Gen. Woodford, of Brooklyn, and Carl Schurz, who were credited with turning the tide, and in a serious and important sense saving country. Mr. Sherman's great prominence had be fore this indicated him as a candidate for the Presidency, and the pivotal char acter of Ohio in politics, and the peculiar primacy owing to her October elec tions, giving the country pointers, as sisted the ambition of the leading Ohio men. But Sherman saw with sagacity lhat the record -of Hayes was one that rendered his availability conspicuous.

He was a most gallant soldier. No braver, more devoted man than Hayes ever made his voice heard In the roar of many battles. He had been three times elected Governor of Ohio, beating the three leading Democrats of the State Thurnian, Pendleton and Allen and he had won for the third time on the vital. issue of sound and unsound moneys. Sherman gave his Influence to Gov.

Hayes as the Republican candidate, and consolidated the State for him, though there was a strong popular current for Brtstow, whose reputation as a reformer In the Treasury was very great and warmly estimated. It was a certainty because it was fl.t. logical, definite and certain Hayes ''became President that Sherman should be the Secretary of the Treasury, and his remarkable ser vices in that position have never been adequately Valued by his countrymen, though they have held him in very high estimation. Hs has been Incessantly assailed in Mew York because he has not Conceded the essential nature of certain theories. He has had an acute perception of the things that were practicable and impracticable, and he has not been inclined to squander valuable energies in contests for the unattainable.

For ex ample, he has thought it the better way to let Greenbacks alone, making sure of holding fast the line of limitation of the issue where they stand now. The danger has been that if the attempt were made to retire greenbacks, the result Would be a' repulse, and that, instead of retirement, there would be "more greenbacks." The class of bankers who have in New York given themselves up to the worship 6f Mr. Cleveland, and still cling to their ludicrous personal superstition. notwithstanding suoh flagrant weakness as that of the President" when he endorsed in full and without qualification, the impossible currency reform proposed by Carlisle) these people who live apart, and in an atmosphere created for themselves, and who are but a little, if any, lower than the angels, have been pleased to hold that the man who resumed specie payments is unsound. and they have treated htm lightly, and have been rs Superior Persons toward him, nbt considering that if it had not been for his courage-- and genius they would have been for eighteen years struggling to noi.rr mi CHTCKAMAUGA MCI1 VICCM AT 19.

The Longfellow Goes to the Bottom :1 of the Ohio River.

COLLIDED AND WENT 10 PIECES AT ONCE THREE NEW YORKERS AMONO THE MZSSINO TUB5 WAS ONE OF THE LARGEST AND HANDSOMEST STEAMBOATS ON THE OHIO RIVER. Ohio, March 8. The handsome Cincinnati and New Orleans packet Long-fellow went to the bottom th Ohio. River at 7 o'clock this morning. Bight or more lives went down with her.

She sank in thirty feet of water opposite the Marmet coal landing at the foot of Smith street. She struck the channel span of the Chesapeake: bridge and sank within tfiree minutes. According to the best information eight persons were lost, but there were over one hundred persons on board' the boat when she struck. The pilot in charge of the boat says the fog was so dense when she struck that he was unable to discern the pier in the mist and was not aware of its proximity. The steamer literally crumbled to pieces immediately following the and the bow of the boat sank, while the cabin and stern floated away.

The body of James Miller, the porter, has been found. The missing are: Capi. John L. Porter, Chief Clerk of Newport, Ky. David Al-dridige, passenger, of Rome, N.Y.; Gus Scheven, barkeeper, -New Orleans; Mike Russell, dlackhand, Cincinnati; Rear-don, deckhand, Cincinnati; unknown woman, an invalid, from New York, and tier physician, Dr.

Anderson, also of New York. The real cause of the accident, it is said, was the (act that the boat. like the Ill-fared- steamer State of Missouri, was so unwieldly that she became unmanageable and the pilots were powerless to control her, The sound, when Uie boat struck could be 'heard for several squares aloncT the river front, and sounded as if the waKe of a great buildtlng- had fallen. A moment later the river was black with float- Ins wreckage and freight. Most of the pas- eenasers had eseagred, to the towboat Carrel and when mho collision occurred the hawsers broke, while the Carrel drifted to, the Kentucky side of the pier.

i The wreck sank quickly, and three minutes later scarcely a Vestige remained. The number of missdng and dead, so far as known at this time by the boat's agents is eight, but this jiumber may be increased when the floating- wreckage is overhauled. There were about forty passengers on the boat, a crew of fifty-two, and about twenty laborers. None of the latter are known, as they were only shlppeS tor the River and' Transfer Company, a short distance below the Chesapeake and Ohio Bridge. Even the number of laborers is not known, and therefore it is impassible to ascertain Whether or not any are missing.

The steamer Longfellow was one of the largest, best-known and handsomest packets on the Ohio: River. She was a stern -wheeler, and up to about two years ego was known i as the U. P. Schenck. At that time she was pur chased by her present owners, the White Collar Line Company, and the name-was changed to the Longfellow.

She was freighted almost entirely wltn reaping and mowing machinery for the Southern markets.

The significance of the removal of Jus- tice Quigley cannot ba overestimated. A mere disagreement with his Interpre tation of the law, even though the dis senters were the members pf the Gen. eral Term of the Supreme Court, would not be sufficient, as the decision written by Mr. Justice Brown sets forth, to re move the magistrate from his office, Guilty and wilful violation of the rules of law is necessary to constitute sufficient cause foi removal, and when it Is considered that such guilt meant In effect the lending of the power of a Judge on the bench to' help on riot and disorder, some idea may be formed of the damnable legacy left the people, by 'the almost defunct Democratic Ring, and ot the conditions of resistance from the magistracy of the city Itself, under which Mayor 8chleren and Police Commissioner Welles had to face the question, of putting down riot and disorder In Brooklyn. The toope will be general that one such lesson as was taught to-day In the removal of Justice Quigley at the Instance of Mayor Schieren will be sufficient to end for all time In this city sympathy and aid from the bench for the enemies of the people who preach riot and mob law as a remedy for grievances real or fancied.

Morton has designated tfce to investigate and take charge of the criminal matters arising out of the failure of the Chenango Vailey Savings Bank, with the 1 acquiescence and aimrova.li of rv trlet-Attic Painter, of Broome Coun- The Removal of Jnatloe Qaisler. Chiefly on his own testimony, Police Justice James T. Qulgley was removed from office to-day by the General Term of the Supreme Court. On oross-examlnatlon yesterday the justice aamltted; if the facta In the strike cases were as the records of his court showed them to be, he had. not made a proper disposition of the accused persons.

The only explanation offered was that the stenographer could probably explain that the records were Incorrect. The stenographer made no such explanation, for the excellent reason that he could not do so under oath, without leaving himself open to severe punishment. Ex-Justice QulgleyjWiU only regret once ihe pnf his fealty tp ih Democratic Ring before his oath of "ofUce and that will be -during all of "bis, natural life. The Deimrartio BAn fcreddtedt and condemned by the people because of the crimes of members and its general diefbaucbery of law, hoped to steal back Into power by siding with the Knights of Labor In the recent local railroad strike. T-e Unlawful element among the strikers and.

the rowdy etament which Is always ready to aid and sympathise with disorder were encouraged by the action of Justice Quigley and others to deeds of violence that speedily changed the Issue from a struggle between notoriously greedy and unscrupulous corporations and hard working men to a question as to whether an American citi-sen has the right to sell his labor, as Mayor chieren forcibly put It, at a price satisfactory to bimself The strikers in effect declared that no such, right existed that unorganized labor had in fact no rights that: organized labor was bound to respect. Justice Quig-ley's course and the course of some others was a practical endorsement of that position, and it meant that a really awful peril had been brought to the doors of Brooklyn. It was anarchy turned loose. 'Men caught red-handed in the act of assailing the non-union men or while ttestroying the property of the railroad companies were discharged in face of the sworn testimony of the police and of other witnesses as to the guilt of the accused. It did not take many such discharges to embolden the disorderlies to the point of open rioting.

Like wildfire It spread through the city that the Democratic police justices, by reason of orders from Willoughby street would see none of the rioters came to harm in the courts. Of course It was not all true, this rumor, but there was enough truth in it to do incalculable harm. Many people were terrorized and) made afraid! to ride cn the cars. Something of this determination not to punish strike rioters was In evidence from the start, and as can be easily Increased enormously the difficulties of the stribe situation. In addition to inciting riot.

It discouraged the police. It Is hardly too much to say tthe necessity for calllnigt out the military never would have arisen if it were clear from the start that all riotous demonstrations would be promptly punished. The unveiled sympathy of the Ring police magistrates for the riotous element took away largely from the effeetrveness of the force working to restore order and respect for the law In every part of the city. Mayor Schieren, realizing the magnitude of the crime that was being committed by some of the minor magistrates against the people of Brooklyn and the peace of the city, determined at once, although beset with a thousand other tasks calling for prompt attention, to bring about the punishment of these unfaithful officials. The matter a delicate and difficult one was entrusted to Assistant Corporation Counsel Yonge, and he has most admirably performed the onerous work he was 'asked to un-dertake.

Acting under the direction of the Mayor, Mr. Yonge, while the strike was at Its height, quietly caused to be secured evidence of the travesties on justice being daily enacted In several of the police courts whenever striking rioters or their sympathizers were brought before the local magistrates charged with attacking life or property. It was not. It is well to note, an afterthought of the Mayor's to secure this evidence. It was not an act done after the strike was over, with 'the purpose ot striving to evade or shift responsibility.

It was an act done, as every other act of Mayor Schieren's Administration has been done, at the right time and when It was necessary to do it in order to safeguard the interests of the people In the present and in the future. i And it' has accomplished Its purpose. No right-feeling man will gloat over the official career of as bright a man as James F. Quigley brought suddenly to an inglorious close, but no conscientious man. will doubt that in Causing his removal on the charges presented and proved, Mayor Scluerta has achieved 5 per cent, bonds of 1881....

$17,494,350 4 per cent, bonds of 1891 15.000.000 4 per cent, bonds of 1907... 25,000,000 Total $57,494,350 Under the Refunding act he had sold bonds, 5, ,4, 4 per 730,79,200. Mr. Sherman said: "I ought to sav that the rroceeds of all the bonds that were sold under the Refunding act were applied to the pay- meni oi an equal amount ol b-zo oonas bearing per cent, interest." The Chairman: "These bonds were sold at par, were they not?" Secretary Sherman: "Yes. sir: oar in coin.

We paid out of the Treasury one- nan oi one per cent. lor commissions and expenses." Mr. Grosvenor read this and made this biting annotation: will oon -1 one-hanf of one per cent, was deemed a sufficient profit for a financial syndicate to make out of a Government loan. Ten millions at a clip in these days is not considered unreasonable." Mr. Sherman pointed out that if he could get an additional $50,000,000 of gold by Jan.

1, 1879, he could resume specie payments, and Gen. Thomas' Ewing wanted to know where he could get it, and asked whether it was a foreign sale of bonds he was relying upon. The reply of the Secretary was: "Not at all, but on a sale at home. Perhaps I might as well say that if I can get two-thirds of this year's supply of gold and silver it will amount to a good deal more than so that I do not have to go abroad for gold. If we can keep our own gold and silver from going abroad it is more than I want." The Chairman: "For this $50,000,000 additional- I suppose you- rely to some extent on the coinage of silver?" Secretary Sherman: "To some extent; silver and gold we consider the same under the law." Senator Edmunds, on the 2nd of No vember, 1877, wrote to Sherman: United States Senate Chamber, Washington, Nov.

2, 1877. Dear Sir, Can you tell me whether there are and if so what, United States bonds that are payable- on their face by express statement in gold coin as distinguished from coin- merely? Yours truly, GEO. F. EDMUNDS. Treasury Department, Nov.

2, 1877. Sir. In reply to your note of to-day I have to advise you that no United States bonds are payable in gold cdln by express statement on their face. Since the passage of the act of March, 1869, bonds follow the language of that act, and are payable in coin of the standard of the date of the Resumption act; that is. "in coin of the present standard value." Very respectfully, JOHN SHERMAN.

Secretary. Hon. GEORGE F. EDMUNDS, United States Senate. It will be observed the Secretary did not argue the case as Cleveland has done, immensely to the profit of the bankers, against the only bond that oouHl be issued.

Gen. Grosvenor quotes the correspond ence about the resumption loan, showing how it was in all its aspects a daylight matter, and concluded: proceedlng, made in the open daylight. With the whole financial world looking on and listening, without a door being closed, or any injunction of secrecy, is in pleasing contrast with a contract made in the dark, without the hnmnn twine- etceot the parties thereto, and which Is only by its production in the room of the Committee on Ways and Means, with a solemn Injunction placed upon that committee that no mention should be made of the terms of the contract, and which finally reaches aayiigm aiier a Jaman a hoafl rVlftllff tmoft It DV the introduction into the Senate of the United States of a resolution oi inquiry, and the threat of one in the House of D.ipA.,nt,ilvM 1 1 th( flDP all DOS- slble effort was made to secure competi tion; In tne otner an poseioie fun, raa marl Whether DUrDOSelV or otherwise I know not and do not charge, that there should be no competition.

The extraordinary pertinency of comparing the proceedings of Sherman with those of apparent to at! intel-lijenS observers, and Gen. Grosvenor their lines run the wrong way. The appointment of Marshal Count Tamagata to be- Minister of War would seem to be a wise move on the part of the Japanese Emperor, who thus secures the benefit of the undoubted genius for strategy possessed by the Count, but which the condition of his health prevents him from exercising in the field. It was Tamagata, it will be remembered, who planned the Chinese campaign, which is bringing such prestige to the Japanese arms. Prince Kung has told an interviewer In Pekin that if Japan's conditions shall be exorbitant China will fight.

A waiting world will wonder why on earth she has not already made that new and strait-ling- ideparture. iMeriden Republican. That reminds us of the story of the man under the bed, besieged by his wife with a broomstick. "Come out, you coward!" shouted the irate female. "Mirta," responded the man, "I sviil not come out.

While I have the spirit of a man in me I'll hold my ground." President Crespo of Venezuela seems to be a very vigorous and prompt sort of an Executive. It having appeared, in an official record of a foreign government the Italian green book that certain Ministers of European governments had expressed themselves too freely on Venezuelan affairs and been somewhat liberal In suggestions for the supervision of the republic's government by the foreign powers, Crespo sent two of he gentlemen their passports. They were the French and the Belgian Ministers. The German and Spanish Ministers had already iaken French leave, or they, too, would have been made to walk Spanish. What If President Dole of Hawaii had done this to Mr.

Willis? Would any one have grieved? None save the cuckoos. David M. Steae's Illness. A great many Brooklyn people are hoping that David ML Stone, whose serious fllnesa was reported in these columns last ntghlt, will soon recover, that his vigorous constitution, which has stood him in good Steojd through a long and busy life, will prove more than equal to the strain which has recently been put upon it. Mr.

Stone's garden has been a much! cherished Institution. He has taken pride In maintaining the grounds adjoining his house, ornamenting tham with trees, shrubs and flowers for the express purpose of pleasing and. educating the public. On, many occasions when crowd have been drawn to the spot by Hs exceeding attractiveness he has invited those present Into the grounds, though they were total strangers, and Imparted valuable and interesting information on the history and habits of the plants growing there. For many years this garden has bean maintained ami people have gone long dls tances out of their way to get a glimpse of it.

especially in the spring and early summer, when the show of flow rs was most brilliant. Mr, Stone has been one of the pillars of toe Central Congregational Church, almost since, its organiration, he has be en untiring in his efforts as an officer of the Society for Improving the Condi' of the Poor, aril in a multitude of 'other ways he has helped the general.
