The bill imposing additional duties,
as repositories, in certain cases, on of.

up for consideration.
Mr.. KING, of Ga, addressed the Sc.
nate at n considerable length. He re-
iuted the various statements contained
in the message of the President, con-
corning the causes of the present dis.
tressed state of the country, referring
to multtudinous extracts and authori-
ties to sustain and illustrate his argu-
ment. In his opinion, the Bank of the
United States was the least dangerous
and best mode of relieving the public
distress. As to the bill before the Sc.
nate, he was at a loss to know what
was the proper course for him TO take.
He did not think ha could ever bring
himself to vote for the amendment of
the Senator from South Carolina f; but
he would move to postpone the further

RETRENCHMgNT AND REFORM -
When MIR. Adams a few days since
presented petition for retrenchment
and reform, the House Of Representa-
tives were compelled to give way to
tho irresistible influence of mirth. A
laugh spread like electricity through
the hall. Naturally enough indeed,
did feeling Of the ludicrous prevail.
That gentleman was displaced by the
force Of the magic words RnrRENcm-
MENr and REBORN. His administra.
ton cost the people about twelve mil
lions per annum. He was displaced
in part for the extravaganza of his re-
commendations--reiorm was promised,
yet the expenses of the government in
the short run OF eight years, have been
more than doubled +!

Treasury, made in response to a call
of the Senate, it appears there has al

GEN. JACKsoN's BANK OPINIONS, IN
1892 AND I837.--in your paper OF
this day there is letter of the late
President, containing the following SEN
fences -
Z" | regret TO hear that Mr.. Camp
bell has charged me with being favor
able to a United States Bank, and that
have advocated the constltuilonality
of such an institution. have always
been opposed to the United States Bank
on constitutional grounds. There is
no such grant of power to Congress- IN
the constitution-and before Congress
can constitu.ionaIly exercise such pow
or, the people must make the grant.
Again--" Congress can, as 1t dId be-
fore the formation of the Constitution,
provide by law that the revenue should
be deposited with the Collector, or any
other agent it may choose to appoint,
for its safe keeping, and application to
the use for which the revenue was raj
sed-but has no power to establish or
incorporate u bank Of issues or stock
holders"
In the Veto Message the following
NAV be found verbatim ct literaum
g A Bank is Constitutional but 1t is
the province of the Legislature TO de-
tcrmine whether this or that particular
mower, privilege, or exemption, is 'ne-
cessary and proper to enable the Bank
to discharge its duties to the Govern
ment; and from their decision there s
no appeal to the Courts of Justice"
Again" Had the Executive been
called upon to furnish the Prolet of such
an Institution, the duty would have
been cheerfuIly performed. In the abb
sence of such a call, it is obviously pro-
per that he should confine himself to
pointing out those prominent features
in the act presented, which in his opini-
on, make it incompatible with the Con-
stitution and sound policy"
Thus much for the opinions OF An
drew Jackson in '32, contrasted with
those of '37.
In the Veto Message there is the af-
firmation male In every shape and
form that Congress has the power to
charter United States Bank, but that
in the particular charter granted, some
provisions were inserted (Which he
points out) that were unconstitutional.
Has the late President lost his memory,
his intellect, or his veracity or, as is
most probable, DID HE NEVER EVEN
READ, MUCH LESS WRITE the Veto Mes

annexation of Texas,
Mr.. BUCHANAN, from the committee
on Elections, reported upon the subject

RELIGION AND MoRALs.-On Sunday,
Mr.. SLIcER, the chaplain, preached at the
capitol In the course OF his sermon, speak.
ing of the power of the gospel. he alluded
TO the striking illustration, furnished by the
Choeta,c Indians. 10 quietness and sub
mission they left the land Of their fathers
graves, and proceeded to the place OF
their destination, because the gospel had
taught them to suppress the feeling OF re-
yenge and TO submit to the will Of Prov
dence. On the other hand the SemHtotes,
10 whom the gospel had not been carried
by the preaching of the gospel, were mia
med with spirit OF revenge, and after a
war, costing ii millions. last year, were
still unsubdued.
In the afternoon, Mr.. RICHARDS, who
has been Is years missionary IN the
Sandwich Islands. preached in Mr.. Nc
Lanes church. and described the wonder

islands, human sacrifices, lntan'lcIde, lido

We are requested to state that the
Counsel OF the Regents of the Univcr-
sity of Maryland, under the charters OF
1907 and 1912, have given ii as their
opinion, that the act of the State Le-
gislature of 1925, under which the
Trustees have acted since that year, is
null and void, as it is contrary to the
Constitution of the United States, and
for other reasons not necessary now TO
mention. Under these opinions, the
Professors have determined to deliver
their usual course of Medical Lectures.
