Session Ends With Broad Appropriation Debates
Haartsauee April 22 1876 reports a frenzied final week as both houses push bills, with the general appropriation bill under Senate review and a contentious addendum for 475000 toward legislative expenses.

Congress tariff questions stir, the Boom Bill probes two members for expulsion, and Pendleton faces scrutiny over railroad war claims amid upcoming political moves.

The treasury plans a 15 million dollar silver coinage to replace rag fractional currency with 10, 25 and 50 cent pieces. Buying silver at a 6 percent premium cost $15.9 million, funded by 5 percent gold bonds. Interest on the bullion totals $904,800 annually, while the new coinage may devalue and complicate value measures, raising questions about efficiency and stability.
