CONGRESS-.

The house Of representatives sat to so
late an hour yesterday, that we can only,
from that circumstance, and from the want
Of room, state few of the prominent re-
suits OF the proceedings.
In the Senate, some business was done,
of which an account will be hereafter gi.
ven. The proceeding Of most immediate
interest, was motion, by Mr.. Morrill,, of
N. Hampshire, to adopt a proposition 10
tie following effect:
Resolved, by the senate, that the presi-
dent OF the U. s. be requested 10 strike
from the rolls of the army and navy the
names of all such officers thereof, as were,
directly or indirectly, concerned ia csun-

Extract to the editors of the Baltimore A :
III erican, dated
.Axmhyolis, Feb. s. 1915

.qmdpolis, Feb. S, 1919.
"Fhe' House of Delegates has been en-
gagged to day, in debating the bill relating
to the confinement of Fee negroes in the
peuitentiary. A number OF speeches were
made pro and con; the question seemed
to he, whether tie court in its discretion,
might Danish them from the state, and in
case OF irreturn, sell them into bondage.
Those. opposed to this mode were in favor
Of selling them for a certain number of
years, instead of sending them for like
term to the Peni,entiary. II was generally
admitted that the promiscuous confinement
OIL whites and blacks, had most injurious
effect on both; the white men was still
more degraded, and the negro countenan-
ced in his crime. The number OF free ne
sroes condemned to the penitentiary APP
pears to be alarmingly great, and forms
the principle objection to that institution,
al they ere known to be a dead expence
to the state. Those against Punishment in
cases Of small offences, eontended that the
state might be displeased, mas
much as it would be supposed that it was
intended they should 60 there but il was
answered that the state of Maryland had a
right to say, "begone and leave US % and
if they should go tothe adjoining state, in
stead Of going TO the West-[ndies or else
where, no blame could he cast on the state;
that if sold for short term of servitude,
the probability was, that they would run
away even if they could get masters, or
perhaps sold by such masters as such ser
wants could find, to the Georgia planters
Nothing conclusive was agreed upon"

has been effected since by the operations of
interest or of fear. Ifspecie could be free
ly drawn by the exporting merchant from
the vaults of the banks, at par, he would
not pay the brokers 8 or 10 per cent. pre-
MUM.
Bank stock, especially in the eastern.
middle, and some of the western states,
forms so great portion OF the property Of
the wealth, and influential classes OF socie-
ty, that the interest Of the banks is that Of
the whole community. The exporter of
specie has, therefore, 10 choose between
the hostility of the community, and the
payment of premium upon the specie
which he exports. There is even just rea-
son to apprehend, that where banks shall
stop payment, they may be permitted, by
public opinion, in some parts OF the Union,
to continue to circulate their notes. Should
this apprehension be realized, and the e.
wills should be extended to different sections
OF the country, the currency could not fail
to be vitiated in an extreme degree, unless
the national or state governments should "a
dept measures necessary to repress it. A
gainst evils of this nature, the prohibition
of the expectation of the gold and silver
coins Of the United States would furnish no

Economy The editor of the "American
Farmer" says, that gentleman mentioned a
fact to him the other day, to convey an idea of
the habits, and condition of a certain Neigh
borhood--he said, he met on the road, going
to neghboring village, an old fashioned, i'm
ported coach, drawn by two half-starvcd horses,
driven by naked negro slave, conveying q
live hog, to buy a jug Of rum"
= american artists.--The story that Messrs.
Perkins, Fairman, &c. were about to proceed
to England, to engrave the notes of the bank,
is positively pronounced to be false.
