The first little five-dollar certificate from the Atlanta clearing houae found . its way into the pockets of the trading public yesterday. ' It was passed over the marbie counter of one of the best baqks of the city, and stands for what it is worth, it be ased for debt paying or as good as the gold or the sil ver. It is real Jive money. Money with the bloom on it, and there will be no such thing as tnrning it down in Atlanta or elsewhere' for every body is glad know that it has found its way from the vaults of the banks at last ' - During the day a large amount of these certificates were paid oat. to dif ferent persons. These certificates will go the rounds bow, thai they are out. They will go to the wage-earner every Saturday night when the work of the week is done. They will go to the capitalist who needs more money than the banks can confbrtably let him have for the payment of his great er obligations.^ They will go to the bladk men and lihe^fiite, to the young mas and the ojfcl, to tiie jxx>zvand the rich alik^ ?- i The history of howtthey came to be issued is well known/to the Atlanta public. It was not tirrough any fright The banks of Atlanta have stood the tempest of hardline* far better than the banks of any other city in the. laud. They were making no^word of complaint \ .. But, when the leading trad a jour nals of the North began to pubfisht re ports that the banks of the South would not be able to ^furnish enough ready cash to move the cotton crop this tall and winter, then it was that the citizens of Atlanta identified with her growth and her best interests got themselves together in a mass, meet ing called by the president of khe chamber of commerce, and decided to call upon the banks of the city, to is siRrnaBir dfe^nng iouse certificates if it became^ necessary to furnish the cash demanded to move the. cotton crop. * The banks of Atlanta, always ready and willing to do\ aIl that the people and business men ot the city demand of them, at once took step* to meet the call. They decided not to issue certificates, such as the meeting asked them to do, not deeming: it ne cessary just at that time to put in gen eral circulation a sort of local cur rency. But they did decide to issue such certificates as could be used by themselves in the clearing house in squaring their daily settlements; ; These certificates were issued. At the same time the bankers declared their willingness to issue other certifi cates for general use whenever the de mand made it necessary. The mer chants of the city at once began a movement to get the bftttks to take this step. The long list of names the Constitution published from day to day from the best and most progres sive business men in the city asking the banks to issue these general cer tificates and pledging themselves to use them just as readily as tie cash raopef tended to *ow the bankers that tie 'people wanted them to ^ issue the paper, and they -have met &ei peo ple's demands. When the banks first issued the regular settlement clearing house cer tificates they did so to the amount of $90,000. Most of the certificates wereH of a denomination ranging from tlOfr to $.>00 is' value. They- have within last day or two, however, iseued certificates, and it is t&ese ones erf from $?5 to $20 in val*. that .are* just beginning to find way into the arteries of trade commerce. larger ones. wiH continue to be j by the banks themselves in their daily settlements through the clearing 'tome. : Tt, The banks have not yet gone above the Hunt of issue they at first agreed : -$90,000. They will probably have to increase the limit, however. | before the cotton market is at its xe aith of activity. ifas depends alto getherja|jfi?rthe way money begins to uto the banks. ?

Small build ings was overturned and there was a general wrecking of shanties, sheds, merry-go-rotfnd^aad other apparatus used, to amuse the crowds that visit the island. Manhattan Beach escaped more damage than other parte of the island, for the reason that the buildings are all of a "larger and better class, and there is no beach for the waves to wreck, the whole shore of Manhattan Beach being protected by a heavy bulkhead filled with stone, which held the sea in check. The only damage done at 5 , this point was the heavy spray which beat over the bulkhead, damaging the lawn, and flower beds andi undermining slightly the Manhattan Beach Hotel, causing. I it to settle in places. The road-bed of the marine railway was washed out, the rails twisted and the cars more or lesB wrecked. j 4 Nearly all the guests deserted the Brighton Beach Hotel this morning, terrified by their experience kst night.

The Sen ate was presided over today in tbe ab sence of tbe Vice President, byr Harris, President ot tbe Senate pro tan, j . A lonr communication from the Sec retary of tbe Treasury was presented and read on the subject of gold and silver payments. It is therein stated that on several occasions recently gold coin has been presented at the Trea sury in exchange for silver dollars, and that the exchange has not been made because silver dollars were re quired to be held ig the Treasury to cover outstanding silver certificates and Treasury notes, and that at pre sent the department would nof?nd could not exchange silver dollars for gold if requested to do so. i ? A motion to adjourn over from to day till Monday was made by Faulk ner and was resisted by Hoar and Frye, the former suggesting Ntbe pro priety of ^proceeding^with the debate in the Montana Senatorial case, and the latter urging action on the nafc ional bank circulation bill. Voorhees, chairman of the Finance Committee, concurred in the necessity of action on the national bank bill The motion to adjourn over was with drawn. ] Voorhees then reported from the Committee on Finance a bill to discon tinue the purchase of silver bullion, and declaring it to be the policy of the United States to continue tbe use of both gold and silver as standard oney. \ iThe votes by which it was reported those of Chairman Voorhees and ^c^ators McPherson, Morrelh Sher man, Allison and AJdrich? we last four named' being Republicans. "The full text ofthe bill is as follows, omit ting the enacting clause: ? - That so mnch of the Act approved July 14, 1890, entitled "An ? Act di recting the purchase of silver bullion and the issue of treasury notes there on, and for other purposes," as directs the Seeretary of the IVrasury to ? pur chase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount of 4,500,000 ounces, or so mnch thereof as may be offered- in each month at the marked price thereof, not exceeding .$1 for 371- . .55 grains of pure silver and An issue!] in payment for such purchases trea sury notes of the United States, the same ii hereby repealed. ftpd Ami it is hereby declared to l>e the policy of the United States to continue the use of both gold . and silver as Lstandard money to corn both gold and silver into money into equal interest and; exchangeable values.' Such equity to be secured through inter national agree n^at-or by such safe guards of legislation as will insure the maintenance of the parity in value of the coins of the two metals and the r ? " ,? ""v miu i wm ?v _ power of evety^d^lar at| all times in,tbe market# and in the pay ing of debts. And it is hereby further declared that the efforts ofthe Aiu(amiima?i4 aLamU 1 ? to^the establishment of such a safe sys tem ofbi metallism as will maintain at all tidies (he equal power of every dollar coined or issued by the United States in the markets and in the pay ?ment of debts. . Vest, on behalf of the minority of | the ^nance-, Committee, presented a substitute' for the bill. The substitute fixes the number of grains of silver in the silver coins, of the United 8tottes at 4644 grains, of pure silver per dol jar, and proportionately for half dol lars, quarters and dimes. .The bill and substitute were placed on the calendar, and Voorhees gave notice that J?e would call up the bill and address the Senate upon it^n Tuesday next ? -> Tbe bill for the increase of national bank circulation was then ^t&en up, and Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska advo cated the adoption of the amendment offered by him laBt Wednesday, to^us pend interest on the bonds on whichv the-- increased circulation is . based. He spoke ^from a desk in the front row of the Democratic side of the chamber, and made a very fayorable impression on this his first effort in the Sen ate. In bis judgement the bill would commit the country to the policy of a continuance of the national banking system and he believed that the time had come when safety required the overthrow of that sy&tetoa, and the wiping it out of existence speedily aa possibly. g Stewart hoped that the pending bill would be stripped of every objection able feature and then passed. This was no time, however, for the national hanks to ask a further subsidy until every effort was made to relieve the country. If that effort was not made in good faith, it would not be the fault of the silver men.? They would agree to everything that would give rtliel. They asked no subsidy* no advantage, no change of policy. McPherson, a member of the Fin ance Committee, made an argument against the amendment, as calculated to defeat the whole measure. Mancferaon opposed his^ colleague's amendment and favored the immediate passage of the bill. He pointed to the &ct that the national bank cir culation had declined from $362^00, 000, its highest figures, to $172,000, 000. He regarded that as the - best possible evidence of the fact that national banks had not the tremendous profits from their circulation that was frequently heard at Their profits were v their deposits and discounts id that, such being no Teason why the should not Jre*<rate its proper oonati tational power and ; Issue jdlj the currency which th* Jfeople iE their business! ~ tTT, Tenon said that when Retime' act on that question, be would jr be found voting With the from Alabama, He only hoped that the Senator from AlaWna would not be found at that Ume&vor ing the issue of ciircolatfce by IState banks. . | Pougir admitted that thex removal of unconstitutional tax on the notes of otf State banks was ? plankrin his party's platform. If the States were permitted to exercise power over the bank* he had so dooht?that there Would be less daugerfrora that sort of circulation t ban- there was today from the national bank circulation. The great objection which he had to the issue of currency by the government was t&at it would be almost impossible under that system to have an equal circulation all oyer the country. 1 1 After some further discussion of the bank bill, Allen's amendment was re jected: yeas 11, nays 39. .There was a good many pairs an nounced. The Senators voting for the am&ftlment were Allen, Bate, Berry, CoJ^Sbby, Jones of Arkansas, Kyle, Martin, Miller, Peffer and Roach. George, Pugh and Vest said that they would have voted aye if they | had not been paired. The next question was on the amendment offered by Cockrell, for the redemption at their face value and accrued interest of such 2 per cent bonds as may be presented for re demption and to issue greenbacks to pay for them. The amendment was opposed by Mcpherson and Sherman. Cockrell advocated it Yoorbees interposed a motion lor an executive session, remarking that it seemed impossible to get a vote on the bank bill tonight The Senate theu went into executive session, first allowing Butler to offcr an amende ment to the bank bill, repealing the 10 per cent tax on the notes of State banks. JiAt 4:30 p. m. the Senate adjourned until Monday. In the Uoime. ' i % The new members oftlfe House -continue come to the trout The star speech of ttije day was delivered by Sibley of Penury Ivauia, the only member of the Keystone ?tate who is Opposed to placing the United States ^ipou a single gold etaudari au<! who is a firm advocate >w hi metallism. He is abOut 53 years of ?ge? giited with a fine voice and u vast foud of wit and a great flow of language. He im mediately took his place among the Orators, the logicians and the humor ists of the House. On the other side of$he question there appeared^another new champion, Everett of Massachu setts, who succeeds Lodge. ' He i* a fine speaker and attracted the atten tion . of his colleagues. He, besides having a good delivery, bas a keen appreciation of lltumor and command ed an interested audience. 7 | The silver debate was resumed jra mediately after the reading of the journal, and the floor was accorded to Sibley (Dem.) of, Penusylvanif^ who is in tavor of the bi-metalHs^ stand ard. | j Sibley spoke iu support of the pro position suggested! by Johnson of Ohio, providing that the holders of United Suites > bonds m ight deposit those securities .with the government, receiv ing therefor Treasury notes. The time had come when the clearing houses of the great cities Bhould no longer -?dominate and control the policy of the 67,00.0,000 workers of , this land. The bi-metal lists wfere as'J anxious as were the gentlemen on the other side to put a speedy end to the present depression, and this end could be attained here and now by enacting i?to law the Johnson proposition. There ware various causes for the present ^anic. One of these causes was that the gentleman from Ohio (Harter), the ex -Congressman from Massachusetts, George Ereedwill, and others had howled Th speech and through the magazines incessantly for a single gold standard and had pre dicted disaster.. The gold men calfed the bi metal listB "calamity howlers," yet if there had been more bwnetallists, "Calamity howlers" than thek had been on the other side, he didgiot know wherein the page of history Uy find them. Another cause of tne panic was the reform Club of New York* He thought that the speaker knew something about the Reform Club. That club had attempted to fix up the tariff be fore the meeting ot Congress. The members of that club made the re sponsibilities of Representatives and their labor light [Laughter.] Another thing" was responsible for the panie, and that was the New York bankers* The advocates of the gold standard said that the bankers of the East had come to the relief of the government. He who hath eyes and had noted recurrent events knew bet ter than that. Who had demanded that* Congress should be called in extra session? No body of agricultur its bad demanded it, no body of labor ers had asked for it. The demand had come from the absorbers of the country. It came not from the 67, 000,000 of American citizens, but from 24,000 who had acquired one half of the natioral wealth an4 want ed as soon as they could the balance of it [Laughter.] He stood by the Democrat who ha/1 respect for the man who toiled as well as for the man who absorbed. He stood by Democracy aB exemplified by the ftfst Democrat, the Democrat who said that the man who was naked aud hungry and sick was his brother. That man had been crucified because he had entered thetemple of the liv ing God and scourj^ed from it the money lenders. [Applause.] Since he (Sibley) had been in Washington be had been asked why he, --comfortably off in this world's goods, and coming from Pennsylvania, should take the position that he now had. His reply was that the people of Pennsylvania could still read, write and think. They read their Bibles, and they knew that the command was as true today as it had been when thundered from Sinai: "Thou shalt notflptesiL" [Applause.] /? ' Gentlemen in favor of the single gold standard said that England was against bi-metallism; that France was against it; that Germany was against it, and even that the administration was against it But no such opposi tion could pat out the spark of liberty on this continent [Applause.] It was said that the odds were against the bi-metal lists. What then? Should they ask for quarter and say that their work was done? Say rather ft&Q the greater glory would be theirs i( the field was won. [Applause.] f The workingmen ? the mei^ who turned the furrows ? were thiukiog over this financial question. The me chanic as he stood at his lathe while the fe{iaft revolved had in his mind this problem, ami he (Sibley) did not understand why that man could not attain *as perfect an apprehension of it as the iiian who walked to the stock exchange at 10 o'clock in the morn ing, atajfcd there until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, went to his office and bal anced up iiis accounts, sanutered up town for dinner at Delmonico's* went to the theatre, took a box lor the evening and then sat dowii with the boys and played draw I poker until 4 -o'clock the next mining. [Laughter and applause.] \ The drtnonetizatiou of 1&73 was a traitorious act, and along with the names of Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold^ would be placed the names of those who were guilty of the crime of 1873.. [Applause.] ? . Now Congress asked to say that the Democrats of the past who had drawn up the platforms of the party hail been unwise and unpatriotic. Cougress was asked to say that there was a man of such transceudeut j.e.ii ous that he could look into the future twenty years ahead of auybody else, and it was asked to go down on its knees before this man audr offer an apotheosis to a man who sat in the other end of the capitoL For one, he never would:' [Applause.] At one time he had been a gold monometal list But he studied the question ami he was no longer one, because he would radier be honest $ban be a monometallist. [Cheers, laughter and applause.] \ Sibley spoke tor more thau two hours, and qOt a moment did he lack the attenlriw of his colleagues, and after hia> maiden speech he took the front rank with^he orators and humor ists of the HouseX. The debate was then stupendous for the' time being/ in order to allow Catchings to reporjt from the Commit tee on Rules aw-r&olution authorizing the Speaker to appoint tne various committees of the House. No ad ditional committees are provided for, but an increase in membership is made in some of the more importaut committees. The resolution was adopted and the silver debate was re sumed. English (Dem.) of New Jersey said he had the gratest respect for the op inions of the President of the United States. He had read his message be tween the lines, and he was satisfied that the President was actually a hi metallsit He thoughfthat the Presi dent's sagacity was sufficient to know that the repeal of this Measure would not relieve the people; he had confi deuce in the President's honor that at the. proper time he would refleem every promise of- the Chicago plat form. It was ' said * that the Republicans were going to join- with the Demo crats in re{>ealiug the Sherman law. What Republicans and what Demo crats? The Republicans of the East and the Democrats of the East But in his opinion the salvation of the country depended upon the people who were living West of the Alle ghanies and South of the Mason and Dixon line. [Applause.] Charles the .First has attempted to coerce Parliament, and he had lost his head. When the peopife of France had asked for bread, a flippant Queen had in quired why they had not asked for cake and some day* wffen some knights of the bed chamber had entered these halls and intimated, the kingly pleas ure and the members' duty, there might arise a modern Mirabeau who would drive him hence and tell him "we are here by the will of God and the votes of the sovereign people, whose mandate we alone recognize and whose behest we alone obey." [Cheers and continued loud applause.] Simpson (Populist) af Kansas spoke in favor of free coinage. He severely criticised the Democratic ^arty for its absolute uselessness. Who ever heard of the Democratic party repealing a law or making a law? The Democratic party was not a party of progress. There was no Democratic party any more, it was President Cleveland's party. [Laughter.] He also paid his sarcastic respects to the Republican party, and charged the present depres sion of business to Republican legisla tion. Before Simpson had concluded his remarks the House at 5 o'clock took a recess until 8 o'clock; the evening sesious to be devoted to the debate on the silver bill.
