had The pleasure last night Of aunounc-
ing to your readers the signal rejection oil
the Sub-Treasury Bill, by the House of
Representatives, and have now to inform
them that the administration forces in both
Houses have been compelled to abandon
that odiuus and condemned measure.
To-day, Mr. Foster, of New York. made
his motion to reconsider the vote of reiec-
ton, and accompanied it with some expla-
nations of his course. He did not proposed
20 reconsider it, because he had changed
his views Of the subject in its present shape,
but for the purpose Of having it so amend
ed as to give it the character of the bin from
the Senate. If it were not so modified af-
( ter being reconsidered, he would be again
compelled to vote against it, He concluded
by deckrng his conviction that if the House
should rest with simply rejecting the bill,
nothing at all would be done for the relief
of the country.
Mr.. Briggs moved to lay the motion to
reconsider on the table, bui afterwards with
wished to make an explanation. Mr. Nal
Tory said that the main principles of the bill
met his APPRECIATION; but he had voted against
it in compliance with the will of his con
stinenls. On his return TO hem he in
tended to make an issue with them on its
morris, and he hoped to be able 90 future
occasion to give an entirely different vote!
SO Mr.. Mallory flatters himself that b can
convert the people of his district as easily
as he was converted. He will find that
more difficult task than he seems to anlci-
pate.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Mason of Ohio,
who wished to have direct vote on the pro-
position TO reconsider, Mr. Briggs Withdrew
altogether bis motion for laying ON the ia

Mr.. Sherrod Williams then moved the

through the roll, a very large quorum was
present
MIR, Thomas Of Maryland, asked Mr. VIII
liams to withdraw his call for the previous
question, under promise 10 renew it, and
his request being granted, he IN ii speech
declared himself opposed TO lecon>ider!--I
lie regarded the motion utterly useless
the Senate Bill having been laid on the tn
bic; and the House bill had been rejected;
b tn by deliberate and decisive votes, and
he thought what should be done was t. APP
peal to the people!
"Dtto to that!' exclaimed Mr.. Leglrc
"Appeal to the people as soon and It's OF en-
as YOU choose!" cried another distinguish
ed member.
Mr.. Thomas continued in that strain, OPP
posing any reconsideration and in the course
of his remarks, be somewhat indiscreey |
declared "that the friends of the admin
iStralion will not 60 for any other measure"
Nous VerOnS. The people will make them !
90 for some other measures.
MIR. Thomas renewed the call for the |
previous question. 1t was sustained, and !
the prelmanaries being speedily got over,
the question was taken on agreeing to re-
and negatived by an oyeraheIm-
ing yote--there being only twenty-ane ayes
10 the round number of two hundred and
weniy-6se noes.
This result warrants the declaration that
he Sub-Freasury Bill has Leen abandoned
by its friends
The opinion has been confirmed by what
occurred in the Senate at HE very time ihrse
remark lble proceedings were going on in
The House.

If the party-by him who is spoken of as
Secretary of STATE, after the close of the
session-simultaneous with the overwhelm-
ing decision against any further attempts
TO press the Sub-Treasury Bill was more
than Il coincidence. Ii struck many as fur
nishing very sufficient reason for the vote
Of the party in the House, and for the speech
es of Mr.. Francis Thomas.
