From the United States Gazette Of June I'd.
MEETING OF BANK DELEGATES.
AT meeting of the delegates Of the as
sociated banks Of the city and county ofPhil
ndelpha, held q. the Exchange, on Friday
evening, June lst, 1888, tho following pre-.
amble and resolutions were adopted, and u
committee appointed. in pursuance thereof
Whereas, The recent action Of Congress in
resembling the specie circular and aboishing,
for the present and future, all distinctions in
the mode Of payment in the different branch
ca Of the public revenue, has removed the
chief obstacle To- a restoration Of the currency;
and whereas, the banks Of the city and coun-
ty Of Philadelphia are desirous of proving to
the community, by immediate action, their
sincere wish to cooperate with the govern
meat in replacing the monetary system OF
the country in sound and healthy condition:
therefore,
Resolred, That a committee Of FIVE mem
bcrs of the delegates of the associntcd banks
of the city and county Of Philadelphia, be
appointed to consider and report to this board
on Wednesday next, suitable measures to be
adopted to accomplish an early and general
resumption Of specie payments.
Resolped, That the said Committee be
authorized to correspond with the Banks OF
the neichbouring States upon the subject re-
fcrred to it, in the interior. The Prcsdcn,
appointed the following Committee -
THOMAS DUNLAP,
WILLIAM ID. LEWIS,

From tho N. Y. Commercial Advertiser or Tucs,lo,
LATER FROM BARBADOS.

We have received the 'New Tines from
Bridgetown, Of May LIST and 9TH. The decs
ion OF the Legislature TO dispense with the
apprenticeship, and allow the slave popula.
ton (SO,OOO) to pass to n state Of absolute
and entire freedom on the first Of August, is
confirmed. In an address by Public OFF,
GER It rs stated that at Antigua abolition nn-
swered the just expectations of the country,
and went beyond the anticipations of its best
friends. II had so far proved itself good by
the close Of 1885, as to induce the late Presi-
dent OF the island, IA gentleman Of very liber-
al principles in general to confess that he
had never been convert te il till then. II
Is no less to be remembered that there were
only f~enfy police men to control 10000 OF
the peasantry.' The address goes on to
state "The hope Of reward sweetens labor,
says the old proverb, and so il was with the
workers. A gang Of ono hundred was en-
Ployed on Saturday to hoo six acre piece
OF stiff soil. They completed it by sunset,
and received two shiIlings currency EACH
The same work would have cost eco IN the
time Of slavery when I visited
the island last November, I found greater
quantity Of cane land in cultivation than !
mad known for twenty yenrs before.' In an
ticIpation Of the Ist Of August land IL rising
IN value, and the fact that the future laborers
will also be consumers, and thus increase the
trade of the island, and that emsnci patton
will be beneficial TO all classes, causes gene
raj JOY to prevail.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT NANTUCKET
INQUIRER OFFICE,
SATURDAY. morning. J,,ne 4 n ,,,elocL Z

| Saturday morning, June =, O'Clock,
We have 10 record the occurrence of the
most disastrous coDfagration ever experien-
ced by the inhabitants Of this place. A fire
broke out quarter past 9 o'clock this morn
ing, in the rope-walk Of Mr.. Joseph James,
just in the rear Of Union street, and in the
midst Of a populous neighborhood
ed also by numerous candle -houses, oil manu-
factories, &c. The flames spread so rapidly,
from the combnstible nature Of the iugredi.
ents presented to them. that In the course OF
few hours, in despite of the utmost efforts
OF the citizens, more than 20 buildings fell q
prey to their fury. Among these, nrc the
rope-walk aforesaid, the candle houses OF Mr.
}. Athern, Mr.. Valentine IIusscy, Mr.. p. III.
Folger, Mr.. Daniel Jones, and Mr.. Matthew
Crosby land the dwelling houses of Mesvrs
II. Crocker, II. ID. Morris, T.. +. Gardner, J.
N. Basseit, w. Folger Jr., Samuel Ames, A..
Dunban', G. Cushinan, J. Crosby, and one or
two others ; the stores or shops Of Gilbert
Coffin, II. q. Barnard, l.. Fisher, J. Meader,
X. Kawson, J. Crosby, a twine factory be.
longing to X. X. Bunker, Esq. and sundry
smaller buildings which at this moment we
have not time to specify. The loss in the
aggregate cannot be less than $500, ,0OO-in-
dependent Of the countless damage resulting
from the hurried removal Of vast quantities Of
property Of various kinds.
II is feared that the whole amount OF insu-
rance cannot exceed $4,000.

II is long time since we have heard any
thing of any moment from the "Sub Treasu.
ry," "Independent Treasury" "Rcformcd
Treasury" project. Which Of these titles the
scheme bore at the latest intelligence, we
have not the means Of knowing. But it ap.
pears to have gone 10 sleep with all three OF
,bem on its unfortunate head and whether
il will ever awake again is more than VIC are
disposed even to conjecture.
| But we should like TO know, whether the
administration intend to let Congress adjourn,
and leave them in their present forlorn pre-.
dcamcot rs it concerns money. They have,
by the hardest, carried bill through, authori.
/ sing them to reissue ten millions OF Trcnsn
Il ry Notes. But what will this be among such
II n flock of vultures ne are lowering ovor the
capitol, or have already alighted within iis
walls? IT there is not something in the act
which will authorize them TO keep the mil
II going, ten millions will last but a very little
| time. Whoever will read Mr.. Bonds speech
will see, that few millions Of dollars will e,
but little way to satisfy the cravings OF snci
II an army Of blood suckers as hang upon Tho
II government. The expenditures from th'
Treasury are ranfed to such degree, tina
nooody can be surprised to find, especial,
during such q time Of scarcity as the present

Personal Renconire in Congress.-In the
House of Representatives on Friday, on re-
suming the debate on the LRlan Appropria-
ton bill Mr.. Turncy, Of tennessee, made
some rather pointed illusions to the political
course Of Mr.. Bell, which drew from Mr..
Bell reply in which he complained that his
colleague Mr.. II. had throughout his whole
specch made a continued attack on him, and
inlinatcd that Mr.. n. had been selected by
others os a political scavcnger and tool 10
pour out the abuse which they themselves
did not think proper to do. lie wished it un.
dcrstood that he had 10 i'll feelings against
Mr.. Il. because he looked upon him os mere
ly the tool Of others, or words TO that effect
Mr.. Turney Immediately rose in his place
and declared the assertion to be fulsehood
whcreon Mr.. Bell rose and struck him with
his fist. Mr.. Turney struck several times IL
return, md a smart scutf]e ensucd. Annie
cries Of ."order," "order," and appeals to the
Sergesnt-st-arms,a a Simultaneous rush wal
mado from all parts Of the floor, and the bel
ligerents were quickly separated ond resu
med their seats. Subsequently q resolution
requiring the members to rise IN their place.
aud declare that they would prosecute th'
matter no further, was offered and laid Of
the table by vote, 30 to SO. Another mo
iion calling upon the members in question 4
apologize Tor their breach Of decorum, wa
adopted. .4aaer which Mcssrs Bell and Tur
ney rose ip their places and apologised to tn
House for the breach Of order, although
was not understood that they made any con

The Washington correspondent o
the N. Y. Journal of Commerce under
date of Friday, June Ist, speaking OF
the recent rencontrc between Messrs
Bell and Turney, says
81 saw the whole of this singular af
fair, and think Mr.. Bell as far justifia-
bic as a man could be, for the share hc
took in the matter. The provocatior
was strong. But that does not mend
the matter. Provocations must and
will be given in free debate, especially
when the Chair gives license to the mem
bers to enter into topics of general
nature not bearing upon the question
before the House or the Committee, as
is every days practice in Congress.
Then follows particular account
from the same correspondent, of all that
transpired in the rcncontre referred to. !
Mr.. Howard having again taken the
chair Of the committee,
"Mr. Bell resumed the floor, and
proceeded to vindicate himself from the
charges brought against him in the de-
bate, and to support the allegations which
he had heretofore made in regard to the
conduct of the administration in relation
to Indian affairs, Tennessee elections,
SC. He produced letter written by
Gen. Jackson, and read at all the cleo
tions in Tennessee, for the purpose of
injuring him (Mr. Bell) He hoped his
honorable friends around him would
pardon something to the feeling created
in his bosom by the foul and malignant
calumnics poured out upon him by the
Chief Magistrate Of the nation, his pub
lie officers, and his partisan press {; and
which now, for the first time, had found
their way into this House, through his
colleague (Mr. Turney.)"

REPEAL OF THE SPECIE CIRCULAR

In common with the Country we rejoice to
see the United States Senate, That new stead
fast of Loco Focosm in high places, feeling
the force OF "the Democracy Of Numbers
and beginning to undo what General Jack
son and Martin Van Buren, have done. This
VIC consider the fret step in the Wing march
of "following the footsteps" backwards. The
party in power is now on the right about
face, aud we hope their step will be the quick
step. The Sub-Troasury scheme is de jaeto
abandoned, that is, the Administration can
not carry il, and hence, and hereafter. we
presume, undoing what has been done is to
be the psler Of the dny.
| TO rsovc the administration party on the
back track has been very difficult thing
For whole yeur, we Wings have poured in
upon it the batteries Of almost every Election
from The Democracy of Numbers, but they
have yet stood the fire We have started II
at last on the back truck. We mean to push
il back vet further, and to stop oply where
the Fathers Of the Republic laid the platform
