 WASHINGTON, Sept. l8, ? P. M. I have just returned from the Senate Chamber, which is crowded to sufocation in every part. The prison houses at Sing Sing or Blackwell's Island, for comfort, must be palaces compared with such place the Black hole of Calcutta was never hotter or more uncomfortable. tt@
 MT. Calhoun has given us his views, and although his speech is not yet concluded, l can give you his opinions in full in reference to the Sub-T Treasury Scheme, National Bank, the State Banks, and upon the causes and consequences of the present pressure.
 have taken notes in full, and will throw them together just as have taken them, without form or order. Mr. c. opened his speech by avowing in open terms, that he was in favor of separating the Government from the Banks. He spoke of the present state of things as exhibiting practical sepa. ration-the connection being between only some six or seven State Banks.
 In speaking of the Deposit system, he pro- nounced it unsafe, impracticable and danger ons. No man, he says, can favor their reun- ion fairly-no party will favor it at all. The Wings predicted its failure, and history was ministration expected of the Banks more than they accomplished, and the Adminis- tration. therefore, will oppose all reunion.- The Deposit Banks cannot, therefore, expect any thing from any party.
 Of the Sub-Treasury system he says that the Government have no alternative but to adopt this system, or a National Bank. One or the other is indispensable, and if the Gov ernment has a paper currency at all, it is so- lemnly bound to have National Bank, and not State banks to perform the fiscal duties of the Government. Separation in toto or U. s. Bank-To the divorcement of Gov ernment Bank This MT. Calhoun has said time and again. is the only alternative.
 He says-the people are opposed to a U. S. Bank upon Constitutional grounds, and the past and present pressure is nothing, if con- tinued, COMPARED WITH THE PRESSURE WHICH WOULD FOLLOW A ARE-EsTABLIsHMENT OF U. s. BANK. As State Right man he always op- posed such an Institution and always should oppose it. Time and experience had only strengthened his position against such bank, bank which the Government had no right to adopt. fsfanaI-f ~s.3.T 3
 He says, also, that there is hut one practical method of forming reunion of the bank with the Government, and that would be by adopting the Pennsy lvania U. S. Bank as a deposit bank, and compelling it to resume specie payments. He, (Mr. C.,) however, says he shall zealously oppose any such un- ion, because it would be a triumph ot the Bank, and give great power to the State of Pennsylvania. 1ss s
 Against a reunion of the Banks with the Government, he urges the argument of Bank expansions and bank capital, an increase of banks, and all the evils attending Banking.- The connection he says is corrupting, con. trolling, dangerous, and finally a,ofitl
 The causes of the pressure which now ex- ists, he dates as far back as 1894. It began, he says, in the triumph of the Tariff, which triumph of 1924 was c0nsummated in 1928. Therevenue created by high duties, he seems to think, must father the sins of most of our troubles. u'e
 Against the. reunion of the banks with the Government, he further urges that all sus- pension of specie payments in England and in the United States is caused by union of tho Government with the banks. The sus- pension of '97 in England the United States in l61S-apd tho present suspension, arc all traced to the same cause-a connec. tion of the Government with the banks.
 \. REMEDEs:-Mr. Calhoun has given the fol- lowing as his remedies: A Enforcement ;--- a complete reorganization of the Treasury Departmefit-no Treasury bank, upon any consideration "a greater limitation of the pa- tronage of fiGoyernmeDt--an finally, that un. til the first of January, 1888, the Treasury de- partment shall receive the notes of specie paying Banks for Government dues Sec 0ndly, that the notes of Specie paying banks be received for three to,irihs of the amount oi revenue due to the Government and that af- ter January, lS4O, the complete divorcen,ent shall ] tdke plGce. So much for Mir. c. Hastily us l have written, have tempered his plans and language. l can offer no better comment upon the speech than to saythat Mir. Benton IS now up, con,mending Afr. C.'s views, and claiming to be himself the author of Mir. Cal. nouns schemes. Calhoun and Benton should u"t SuIspo't thc same measure tlght and dark ness are too much unlike to be assimilated.
 MT. Walker has followed Mir. Benton, ant moved to strike out the clnuse in the Bill which gives interest to the Treasury Drafts. l M ". Y. Esprsss In SenGte.-- TuesdGy, Scpf 10.
