WASHINGTON , February 10. The rn-port of the Protons court of inquiry wastransmitted to the senate to-day. Thecourt finds that Garlington made nilurrorof judgment in not waiting longerat Pandora harbor , but tlio error wascommitted in the exorcise of ndillicnlt-nnd unusual discretion , for winch hoshould not bo held accountable. It isalso duo Garlington to say thnt in thegeneral conduct of the expedition priorto the IOPS of the ship ho displayed zeal ,energy and cllicionoy in successfullyconducting the command through a long ,perilous and laborious retreat in boatn te-

a place of safety. While awardingcredit to General Iliuon for the best in-

tentions¬

concerning the rescue of theGrooloy party, the court is of the opin-ion

¬

that in many particulars and in sameof the gruvest momenta ho failed in ade-quate

¬

comprehension of the necessitiesof the case and measure.! , and moansessential to meet thorn. The court dis-covers numerous grave error's and omis-sions

¬

in hut action. Anioii )} them thefollowing :

First In informing Garlingttm thatGreeloy'a supplies would lie exhausted inthe fall of 1883 , when in fact ho was pro-visioned

¬

for inoro than throe yours fromthe summer of 1881. Thocflbct of thiswas to urge Garliugton to Undue haste toreach Lady Franklin bay.

[Second His persistent rejection ofthe suggestion to make on the northwardvoyage of the relief ship u depot of sup-plies

¬

at Littleton island.Third In failing tu perceive the ne-

cessity¬

for a second vessel until late inthe Benson.

Fourth The lax and negligent methodof keeping the records of public businessand conducting correspondence in thesignal oilico-

.As.

an illustration of the action of thechief sighal ofliccr in this regard the so-Killed supplementary instructionsor orderto Garlingtnn is cited , which the courtsays was in fact no order at all nlthougnpublished to the country as such andmade the basis of a charge that ho hadbeen guilty of disobedience of ardors.The court is of the opinion fttat neither

s this memorandum an order nor didit properly carry any force , oven as asuggestion to Garlington.

The court comments severely on thismischievous manner of conducting offi-

cial¬

business and says that while the graveerrors and omissions mentioned eitherdirectly led or largely contributed to thefailure of the expedition , yet as they aredue to a lack of Bound judgment and un-attended

¬

by any willful neglect , no fur-ther proceedings before the general court-martial are called for.-

from the secretary of state in regardto the case of Alexander Trimble whosoextradition was demanded by the gov-ernment

WASHINGTON , February 13. Mr , Voor-heos

-(dom. , Ind. ) ofl'orod a resolution ,

which went over till to-morrow , direct-ing

¬

the secretary of the interior to with-hold

¬

for the prcBont his approval of pat-ents

¬

or certificates for lands selected bythe Northern Pacific railway , in lion ofothers uaid to bo lost by eaid companyunder the act of July , 1801. The pro-ulnblp

-to the resolution eota fourth that

the rights of Bottlers might bo injur ¬

iously affected by such approval.The special order , Mr. MoPhorson'o

(dom. N , J, ) bill to provide for tlio IHSU-Oof circulating notes to national bankingassociations , was taken up ,

Mr. Bayaid (dom. Del , ) favored tin1bill , It was in the line of absolute ec-ctiritj

-

to holders and wont to assist andto continue an absolutely uafu currency ,

It was the business of congress to maintain such scrupulous regard for the publie credit that the fact that a bond wilbo paid according to ita face and ternnwill never bo doubted , When that isdone lot private inoculation take up tingiino of profit and Ions to accrue from it- Congress should have nothing to do willluch schemes-

.Mr.

, ShiTinaii ( 0.rep , ) olfereil an am

cmlmont providing that if any bonds de-

posited¬

should boar a rate of annual in-

terest¬

higher Umn ! J per cent , additionalcirculating notes should bo issued equalin amount to tno half interest accruingon such bonds before their maturity inexcess o* Jl per cent , such amount to boascertained and stated by the comptrol-ler of tlio currency on the 1st of January ,

each year.-Mr

., Sherman then proceeded to ad-

dress-

the senate. In the course of hiaremarks ho expressed the following viewsconcerning the tilvor question , lie sawno solution of it at present , Th" staleof public opinion as fully represented incongress would im *. allow a suspension ofthe coinage of silver dollars , nor theadoption iW the United States of a newratio for the coinage of silver and goldaccording to the market vnluo of thosetwo precious metals. All wo could dowas to drift along until the inevitable ex-

portation-

of gold and its disappearancefrom circulation and its conversion intoan article of merchandise should reduceall value to a silver standard , when nodoubt the practical good sense of ourpeople would load them to coin bothmetals accordirt'j to their then value andnot according to their value fifty yearsaco. Ilo would not have alluded u thesilver question oxojpt that it was inevit-ably

¬

connected with the banks and bank ¬

ing. It was nlrcadj casting its shadowupon tlio future. It was rapidly con-verting

¬

our railroad securities into bondsexpressly tmyablo in gold coin. It wascreating distrust in investments madeupon a gold basis which sagacious menknow would , by the failure of crops orbanking houses , or by some unforsoonevent suddenly bring us to a silverstandard. The doubt would then arise ,

it had already arisen , whether in the ad-

justment¬

of n now ratio between goldand silver the quantity of silver in thedollar would bo increased or thequantity of gold would bo reduced.One or otherwonld have to bo done. Asthis qucation'wns decided so would thenominal price and value of all lands ,

commodities , investments , securities andcurrency rise or fall. A question so con-trolling as this did and would afloat banksand banking in nil their phases and forms ,

but Mr. Sherman believed it to bo utterlyimpossible at this socaion to change theexisting law as to the coinage of silver.-Wo

.

would have to go on coining and pil-

ing¬

up in the treasury vaults silver thatwo now bought at a discount , which wocould not circulate and which wo mustat some time sell nt n discount or reduceall other money to the namestandard. Until thia standard wasfinally settled coin certificates weredangerous forms of currency. Whileif all certificates wcro ns now treated asgold certificates , they would bo freelytaken as equivalent to each atjior , butwith the first appearance of a difi'uronco-in market value bptwoan gold nnd silvercoin , the oamo difference would appearbetween gold and silver certificates andgold certificates would disappear fromcirculation and bo hoarded ,

Mr. Sherman then wont on to speak of-

tliO'difllculty of maintaining the circula-tion

¬

of national banks , because of therapid payment of United States bonds ,

and entered into particulars as to thenature of the bonds outstanding , theirspecies , etc. * Ho said the national bankcurrency was the best in the world andalluded to the fact that in the darkesthours of the panic of '73 our bondsmovorvaried more than G or 7 pur cent.-

lIUUTAt. MURDER NEAll CHICAGO-

.CiiicAOo.

, February 13. J. L. Wilson ,a resident of the village of Winnctta ,near this city , and his invalid wife werefound dead in their cottage shortly be-

fore¬

noon to-day. The discovery wasmade by n young woman who had beenin the lutbit of calling upon Mrs. Wilsonalmost dnily nnd attending to her wants.The body of Mr. Wilson was found onthe fust lloor , his head and body show-ing

¬

a number of cuts which had evidentlybeen administered with a sword belong ¬

ing to the aon of the dead man andwhich had been hanging up in the house.Visiting thu room up stairs the invalidwife waa found lying in bed dead , withseveral cuts in her body , while the posi-tion

¬

of the remain * showed that weak as,

she wus she had made frantic efforts to-

irotect herself fromtho murdorousstabsof-ho nBSassin , her blood being spattered

on all the four walls of the room. Themotive of the murderer appears to havejeon ono of robbery purely. The only

clue is the fact that Mr. Wilson statednst evening that ho had n gentleman

jttost whom ho was entortoming , butwho has since disappeared. Mr. Wilsonwas a man of considerable wealth , and.always kept a largo sum about his prem-ses

-, doing his banking business with a,

Inn in this city. The house shows evi-dences

¬

of having been rifled. Detectivesare endeavoring to discover the whorc-abouta

-of Wilson's mysterious visitor , as

the crime is popularly credited to himReporters just in from Winnctta , the

scone of the double murder , bring noadditional facts , except that the old cou-ple

-wore not stabbed. Mr. Willson was

shot and then apparently jumped on , asnine ribs wcro broken. Ilia wife's headwas beaten in. A cane , pair of tongs andan old sword appear to have been used-.It

.is not known how much money , if

any , was secured , but the couple wore inthe habit of keeping considerable sumssecreted about the promises. No clue tothe murderers.-
