suffered SO much recently from an acute disor-

affection behind it, that he cannot. in all ike

blessed with health, that we believe he has never
lost Court at Washington, since his appoint
ment which was probably more than thirty
years ago. We trust his robust constitution will
yet enable him to meet his brethren Of the

RICHMOND. az. Is. 1873

RICHMOND, J..sH 18, 1884.
DEAR SrR:-As mentioned to you in my last
the House of Delegates passed the resolutions
condemning the Removal Of the Deposites in
unqualified terms. To break the force of these
resolutions, the Van Burenites contriyed to tack
resolution to those already passed condemn
ing the Bank in the like unqualified manner,
Mr.. Colston, in favor Of the Bank, melted at
this unnecessary addition, -moved to postpone
the whole matter; but was prevailed on to with
draw his motion. Mr.. GiImer next moved to
re-commit the whole matter for the purpose of
dirorcing the subject of the Deposites from the
Bank: but the motion failed 65 to Sc: and so the
subject rests for the present.
The debates upon the various motions, &c,
in the progress of this question, have been warm
and animated. Mr.. Jno. Janney, of Loudoun,
made an able and eloquent speech, which has
done him great credit; as did also Mr. Faux
ner, Of Berkeley.
Yours resnectf11v
