Our dates from Washington are to the
sh. The deposi;e question was decided in
the House of Representatives, on the 18th bv
The adoption OF the resolutions recommend.
ed by the committee of Ways and Means.
The vote against recharter passed by =
majority of So; the vote against restora-
lion by ll9 to l04; for continuing the state
bank as repositories of the public mon-
ley, n to 1914; the vote for the appoints
ment of committee to investigate the af.
fairs of the bank stood ia to Al. We
shall insert the yeas and nays next week
tor occasional reference hereafter. Gen.
Duncan's vote is recorded in the negative
on each proposition except the last. In
these votes he faithfully representst,is con.
stituents.
On the subject Of the above vote,
the lntelligncer Of the 9th remarks:--
sour readers must not, from the state Of
the vote in the house Of representatives,
o" Friday last, take up the impression
that there Isl majority Of fifty votes, as
would appear from the face Of the rec.
ord, against a bank Of the Uuited Staies.
No such thing. There are a number
OF friends of the president who are rea-
dy at any moment to vote fora new bank
II they do not themselves intend to pro-
pose one. There are others, friendly to
the renewal Of the charter of the pres
eht bank With certain notifications Of
lis charter. Bat the previous question
prevented all modification or amendment
II propositions, and obliged members to
swallow the dose just as the doctors had
compounded it, or reject it altogether.--
The bill. which passed the last congress-
o' renewing the charter Of the bank,
obtained notifications of its present
.harter. Had the question been modi
leo IN the same manner in the PROPOSE
ION vdfed upon Friday. the vote would
certainly have been different from what
was though the result nigh, not have
been changed. ~. y i, "a

apprehension will disappear, however
they may be diminished.
VIII. The remaining reasons Of tie
secretary may be classed under two
heads; acts by the bank in violation q
its charter, and an act or acts of unfaith-
lulness in the execution Of its duty 10
the treasury. Under the first must tie
included the constitution of the e1-
change committee of the bank. the al
legged exclusion from that committee OF
The directors appointed by the president
of The United States and the expendi-
ture of money for printing and circula-
ting pamphlets. Under the second no
fact is particularly noticed by the secTe-
tarY, but the case Of the French bill
/. In relation to all the operations
of the bank included under the first
head, it must be answered, that whelh-
er the bank has been right or wrong,
her board OF directors assert the legal
right to do whatever has been dome
Her American stockholders also, who
with the fullest knowledge Of all the
circumstances, have repeatedly e.
lected the same directors, assert the
same right. and approve the acts which
have been done in execution of il. |
these acts are not in violation OF The
charter, they are mere acts of admins
tration or management of the bank
which the United States as stockhold
err have agreed TO commit to the discre
ton of the board of directors.
The directors appointed by the pres
ident have no veto upon the resolutions
of the board. The president has NJ
such veto. If the resolutions are law
fuI, the charter, and all the stakeholder
public and private, as parties to it, mus
be considered as having committed lt
the directors the entire discretion e
make and execute them. They ma,
have been inexpedient, and if they hav,
been, the corrective Is to be sought il
the annual elections. They may bav,
been deemed inexpedien, by the direct
ors appointed by the president, but
they have been, the law has determines
that they are legally bound by the voic
of majority Of the board. Upo
questions Of administration within th
legal competency Of the board, there
no more justification of an attempt t
tear the bank to Peices, by part Of til
directors, or by the treasury depart
ment in support Of them, because tn
voice Of the minority is not respected
than there would be for an attempt b.
state or states, for the like reason, I.
sever the Union. All the parties to tn
compact have agreed that questions @
administration within the lawful compe
tency of the legislature, whether of tn,
bank or of the Union, shall be decided
by majority, andlf they require cor
. rection, that they shall be corrected b,
majority, and in no other way.

The Sangamon Journal appears much
excited at our brief remarks upon the COM

with us 10 terms which would abstract no.

present instance, remind us ofas gentleman
we read of, not long since, in the Journal,
who "felt tremendous ire within him burn"
not because he was called liar, but be-
cause he was proved to be one. The Jour
mails anger seems to be awakened, not be-
cause he is reminded of the sale and trans
fer he has made of himself, but because
the evidence of the fact is so plain that it
cannot be mistaken.
As the public are not greatly interested
in newspaper quarrels, especially when the
contest must be carried on, as it would
seem it'must be in this instance, by person
aIitics, we shall not speak "to the merits"

The RushpiHe Convention, called for the
purpose of moring the seat of government,
met at the place designated, the 9TH inst.
Col. SAMUEL ALEXANDER was appointed
chairman, and HART FELLOWS, ESQ secre-
tary. The deliberations, which were con

nomination of Springfield as the most pro-

seat of government. The proceedings are
published in to-day's paper: the add. ess is

the proceedings and address, furnish no
very convincing, or new considerations in
favor of the eligibility of the place select

GENERAL BLAIR "A representative in
congress from South Carolina, terminated
his life the LIST inst. by his own hands. A
Washington correspondent says: 1t has
been thought by many, that the Gen. was
IN state of arrangement for some time
previous to his deceasc. He committed sui-
eide by shooting himself through the head
with a pistol. The act was done in the
presence of governor Murphy of Alabama,
who moment before was engaged in read
ing letter to the general, in which he was
interrupted by Mr.. Blair expressing wish
to take something to drink. Mr.. B. adj
vanced to the table as if for the purpose he
had avowed, opened the drawer took out a
pistol and fired, before Gov. Murphy had
any intimation Of what he was doing. He
fell dead without a struggle.

now to be remembered, that the banks
in Europe were the first fruits of the

from the revolutions which gave free
