inst. MIR. Clay presented the following re-
solutions:
| Reso7eed By the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America, IN Congress assembled that
the reasons, communicated by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury in his report to
Congress of the 4th of December, 1893,
for the removal of the Deposites of the
money of the United States, from tho
Bank of the United States, andits Bran
ches, are insufficient and Unsatisfactory.
Resohed, therefore, That all deposites
of the money of the United States
which may accrue or be received on
and after the LIST day of July, 1884,
shall be made with the Bank of the U.
States and its Branches, in conformity
with the provisions ofthe act, entitled
Gan act to incorporate the subscribers
to the Bank ofthe United States" ap-
proved the 10th April 1916.
We take the following extracts from the
remarks by which Mr.. c. accompanied
these resolutions:
Tho Senate, after passing the reso-
luton which they had already passed
and waiting two months to see whether
the Executive would conform his course
to the views expressed by this branch
of the Legislature-alter waiting all
this time, and perceiving that the error
as the Senate had declared it to be, was
still persevered in, and seeing the wide
and rapid sweep ofruin over every Sec
ton of the country, there was still one
measure left which might arrest the evil
and thatwas in the offering ofthese res
olutlons-to present them to this body
and, if they passed here, to send them
to the other House; and, should they
pass there, to present to the President
the plain question, if he will return tc
the constitutional track; or, in opposi.
ton to the expressed will ofthe Legis
lature, retain the control over the mil
lions ofpublic money which are alrea-
/ dy deposited in the local Banks, anC
which are still coming in there.
Tomorrow Continued Mr.. CO. will
be the lastday ofone entire year, since
|. we have had Secretary of the Urea.
sury of the U. States appointed in con-
formity to the provisions ofthe Con.
stitution of the U. S. Unless the Exc
cutive nomination is to be found in the
communications which have been
brought to the Senate this morning, il
will be one year morrow since there
has been head of that Department,
holding the Office and performing the
duties, by and with the advice and con.
, sent ofthe Senate, conformably to the
Constitution, 1t has been asked on a.
mother occasion, why this great anxiety
for the nominations of persons, who
have been appointed during the recess?
For no other reason than that the Con.
stltutlon requires the nominations to
be made. 1t had been asked, if we
'Fere anxious to receive the nominations
IN order that wemay reject them. There,
is no one who has right to put such a
question.
1t is sufficient to answer, that the
Constitution requires the nomination to
be made; and to say that this has not
been done. And we might retort, if
1t were proper to go into any inquiry
as to motives; why is the nomination
OF a Secretary of the Treasury with
held! Is it kept back because it is de-
signed to nominate an individual who.
IT is known, will prove unacceptable to
this body! But it is not my purpose to
| GO INTO the consideration Of these ques.
mons; or, indeed, to say any thing on
the subject of the resolutions, which
can now provoke any debate. All
that have further &c say, is to OK.
