G. ADJOURNMENT
Tho joint resolution from the Senate fxin
Monday, the 9th October, as the day Of adjourn
u1ent, was taken up.
n. M. Cost Johnson opposed any adjournment un
til the great measures before Congress were ACT
ed upon. The only object Of the adjournmen,
in the estimation of the people, would be III
double mileage, paid in gold, that Congress wouI
receive by il. The duninution in business pre-
duced by the delay Of Congress in deciding o.
these measures, would alone be a great loss to IN
country. He moved to lay the resolution on tn
table lost.
Mr. Pickcns opposed the adjournment. Com
merce he said, had fured her sails, and agricu
ture rested on her plough, while the decision {
Congress was awaited OH the great subjects b,
fore them. The divorce bill-thc great mcasur
of the session,-ought to be acted upon, befol
we separated. This was the time for the frene
of the Administration to show their sincerity
advocates Of that measure. If it was not adop
ed now, it never would be. During the recess
Congress, the stronger banks would resume pa
ments in specie and under the joint resolution
1916, their notes would again become receivab
in payment for public dues. The connection b
tween the Government and the Banks would I
resumed, and never would be sundered. tt
chain would be fastened upon US forever.
Mr.. Cambreeng suggested the 10th of Octob
ips instead OF the 18th, and Mr.. Haynes mooIfleo
,ie- amendment accordingly
INT Mr.. Smith, Of Me. opposed the amendment,
are the ground that it would occupy 4 very long tin
ION to discuss the Sub Treasury bill.
e. Mr.. Thompson, Of 8. c. thought there was liz,
, !. fear that the connection Of the Banks with q
ire Gov eminent would soon be renewed. The SIM
degree Of confidence and credit that still linger
in the community depended upon the bene6c
,.es action of Congress Before we took the fa
ven step which his colleague urged he hoped shot
.ve go home and take counsel Of constituents.
s,x There we're some among bis constituents up
one whose counsel he would more rely, in this pei
as Gus crisis, than upon that OF those who here 81
that rounded him.
pre- Mr.. Patton moved to postpone the coosiderati
.ivv Of the subject till Apsil-Ioet. After some
TO Their remarks from Messrs. Adams, Wise, Csmb
Ell leng and Glascock, the amendment 6xiag
,eut 18th Of October, was sgreed to, lis to lO3;
ion. the resolution, amended, was agreed toy
