alarmed men for the security OF property AS
vet we hardly know its effects on the credit OF
the country in Europe. Perhaps 1t is not easy
to anticipate those effects; but II causes when
operate here should be found to have been ell
Gent there also, still greater degree OF pres
sure and distress IMAM mas YET pooh 'oi' may W
expected.
The committee, therefore, cannot put regard
the removal of the deposites, on the Whole, as
measure highly inexpedent and altogether I'M
justifable. The public moneys were sale III
the bank This is admitted All the duties OF
the bank connected with these public moneys
were faithfully discharged. This, too, is admit
ted The subject had been recently before the
House of Representatives, and that House had
made its opinion against the removal known by
a very unequivOcal vote. Another session OF
CONGRESS was close at hand, when the whole
matter would again come before it. Under these
circumstances, to make the removal, with the
certainty Of creating so much alarm, ana OF pro-
ducing so much positive evil and suffering, such
arrangement of the currency, such pressure and
distress in all the branches of the business OF prl-
vate life, is an act which the committee think
the Senate is called on to disapprove. The rea-
sons which have thus been stated apply to the
whole proceedings of the Secretary relating to
the public deposites, and make it unnecessary
to consider whether there be any difference be-
tween his power over moneys already in the
bank, and his power to suspend future deposl-
tes The committee forbear, also, to consider
the propriety Of the measures adopted by the
Secretary, for the safe keeping Of the public
moneys since their withdrawal from the bank.
They forbear, too, from entering into any dis
cussion, at present, of the course of egislation
proper to be adopted by Congress under the ex-
isting state Of things. In this report, they have
confined their consideration to the removal ofthe
deposites, the reasons assigned first and its i'm
mediate consequences and on these points they
have formed the opinions which have now been
expressed.
They recommend to the Senate the adop-
ton of the resolution which has been referredto
them.

PRO AND CON.

variety of memorials, pro and con, on I'll,
subject of the Deposites, were presented in The
House of Representatives on Monday. by MessTs
Cambreleng and Selden, of New York, anG
Mr. Sutherland, Mr.. Binney, and Mr. WatnOugt
of Philadelphia.
Mr. Cambreleng said
"The Bank Of the United States has made Z
bold experiment upon the country. Since The
commencement of the session its presses and
its friends abroad, ay, sir, even some of the ca
pitalists Of the country, have been instrumental
IN an attempt to destroy commercial confidence
by circulating the most alarming predictions o;
approaching ruin and calamity. These rumors
of distress, of frightful disasters, Of panic have
been echoed here by distinguished gentlemen
OF both Houses. Sir, no other country upon
earth could have stood firm under such gene
raj attack upon commercial conhd ence, as has
been made by the Bank and its friends abroad,
during the last seventy-ive days. If the disth.
guished men Of both Houses of Parliament haa
INDUCED in the same gloomy antiCipations-haa
they for more than two months predicted UI..
versal wreck and ruin, and general panic,
would have broken half the country banks 10
England, and half of their merchants and ma
nufacturers. 1t is, sir, bold experiment OF t0e
Bank of the United States, and has fallen Wit
dreadful severity upon my constituents produC
ed many bankruptcies, and ruined many FAM
lies; but, sir, were their losses and sufferngstsy
times as great, so long as they are animated wit
the spirit of fieemen they will never subject q
Government of their own to the dominion Of Ih,
Bank of the United States"
Mr.. Binney said
ut had been said that the distress was 10 Dc
attributed to the Bank of the United States
The remark thus made proceeded. as he beIe'.
ed, either from an ignorance of facts, OF ron
the adoption of principles, which his mind wa
unable either to adopt or to comprehend. zen,
tlemen would find, or he greatly misapprehendeo
the existing state ofthings that the cause WaSpij
cisely that which the memorialists had assignee,
the universal destruction of confidence, and ina
this was operating with a secret and almost IL
perceptble influence, but with perfect certallyo
and in constant stream, to strip from the o'e.ii
Banks the means of sustaining their credit a .bs
their debtors, not to place their specie IN VI. .o
Bank of the United States, but to take II Inv NV
private possession, in town and country, for w.
purpose of meeting the day of calamity %n,Ss

was IN rapid course Of development, ~
should be distinctly disclosed, either this day

the country, assurances have been given by

The excitement in Upper Canada, against the
Provincial Assembly, for their arbitrary course
towards Mr.. Mackenzie, continues to increase,
and the Assembly remains obstinate. Since his
last expulsion, on the same ground of objection
as the four preceding, every motion favorable
to his right to a seat has been voted down.
Some Of the people Of his district,-the County
Of York,-indignant at this persevering eXcu-
sion Of their representative, have copied some
of the temper Of the English on the Reform
Question, and determined to pay no taxes.

FELLow-CITIZENs:-In my last letter,
i related some of the incidents which oc-
Cured Immediately after my entrance
INTO oiflce. Those incidents will have
shown you that the true nature OF the
service required of me, was to employ
conservative power to effect penal ends,
and to cvade Legislative or judicial ac-
tion in relation to the u. States Bank.
Believing, as | did that .hc President
really thought that the prostration of the
United States Bank would be another
victory, of which he might be proud land
that he was stimulated to consider any
means justiliable to attain that end, |
resolved to inlerpose, ii could, between
hun and those who were impelIing him
in his rash career. l was especially
ANXIOUS TO dIsabu>e him as to the Iegis.
Iaiurc and The Judiriary; and, therefore,
IN writing the following letter, endeavor-
ed Ia meet h!S oral declarations, as well
as written Arguments.
In my defence ! now submit this letter
to you. Is 1t such Il letter as "an ennis
sary of the Bank" would have written?
Does 1t Indicate hostility to the Presi-
dent, or Il desire to remain in Office to
thwart him: Could any friend struggle
more anyiously than did to snatch him
from the brink of n precipice' Instead
of considering my resistance favorable
to the Bank, felt satisfied that the Pre-
sident's course would aid it.
Under these impressions, as an act of
duty to the country, as well as to the
President, and, confess, dissatisfied with
the part | was expected to play, l wrote
the following letter.
Respectfully, yours,

The Secretary IF Me Treasury 10 The Pre-
smem oi He United Suites.
TREAsuHY DEPAnrMENr, july 10, 1888.
Sir: i. On the first of the present
month, the undersigned had the honor to
receive the letter which the President
addressed to him from Boston, on the
Goth ullImo, transmitting n detailed state
mcnt OF his views "upon the subject OF a
discontinnaEce Of the Government De-
p"si,cs IN the Bank of the United States,
a"d the substitution Of certain State
Banks, "a the fiscal agents of the United
States, :" far as those duties are now
performed by that institution"
"li, when, early in December last, the
desire Of the President that the under
signed should assume the station which
he now holds, was communicated to him,
It had been intimated, that cessation TO
deposite the public moneys in the Bank
of the United States, without any legis-
lation upon the subject, was to constitute
a part Of the Executive policy, and that
the undersigned would be called upon to
carry the measure into effect, upon his
own responsibility, it would have been
IN his power to consider whether he
ought to enter into office or not, and he
would not have been compelled, as he
now is, either to incur the censure Of
Congress, or to commence his service,
by acting in opposition to the Presidents
wishes. But, as no intimation of any
kind was given, and as the undersigned
was thus to come into office, in man
ncr as honorable to the Presidents lib
erality, as it was hattering to his cwn
pride, he accepted the profiered honor,
but still not without reluctance, resolved
to perform his duty so faithfully ms to
merit public confidence, justify the Pre-
sidents choice, and preserve that inval-
liable treasure, his own scIi-respect.
Ii, when, on the 3Oth of January last,
the undersigned consented to serve, and
behre he had entered on the duties of
his station, he had known that "a change
Of the depository Of the public money,
the decision oithe House
Of representatives, was a part Of the
Presidents policy, and very anxiously
discussed in the cabinet, it would still
have been his pleasure, as well as duty,
TO consider the questions involved, care
fully. But, although late in the month
OF March, the President minated, that
he was aginiing the subject himself, the
undersigned had no conception, that IL
was with view to any proceeding prior
to the meeting of the new Congress.
II was not, indeed, until the evening Of
the day, or of The day after, the UNDER
signed entered into office, that he was
that change Of the depository

100 DOLLARS REWARD.

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks-
" burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, NEGRO MAN, and the MARE,
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by a man who seems to have been
a stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession of the Slave and ofthe Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as a person be-
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re-
markably white hair his stature stout and well
set. He wore a brownish cOOred stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years of age as well as is remembered; stout in
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high: has drawing manner OF talking,
and appears to be much less sagaciOus than he
really is, His name is Jack. His dress was a
blue cloth cap grey great coat, and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is fine large sorrel, without any
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre OF
the forehead, not covering more than the size OF
four-pence -halfpenny She is, as well as is
recollected going on seven years ofage; is re-
markedly long in her body; has a long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film ofone of her eyes
an incsion which was made year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in
the proportion offour and two for the recovery Of
either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAA.
