THE INDEPENDENT TREAsURY-oR
ABOMINABLE BILL.

This bill, which passed the Senate by ma
iority of t,co roles, has, since our last, been
acted on by the House of Representatives, to
which body it was sent, and by vote of LOG
to 9sbeen laid on the table.
That our readers may understand the effect
Of this procedure on the part Of the House, in
laying the bill on the table, we make reference
to an analogous case in 1894, and quote the
authority of the Globe, which must, of course,
be orthodox with the advocates of the defeat
ed scheme.
In that paper of the l4th June, 1884, we
find the following article:
FINALE OF THE DEPOSITE QUESTION"
"Mr Claws last resolutions, the declaring the
Secretary's reasons insufficient for removing the
| " deposites-the other directing their restoration
were nailed on the table of the House OF Represen-
taves, yesterday by decisive vote. This was a
| most contempuous mode of dispoSing of Mr.
Claws grand stroke of policy, which he supposed
t" was sure triumph after the distractions OF the
speakers election. The vote against the resolution
| " impugnng the Sccretarys reasons, stood ia to
" l03. That against the restoring resolution was
F." lis to 90"
Thus has the Independent Treasury scheme
which has engaged the attention of the Senate
and kept the country in state of agitation, by
the debates upon it in that body, for between
two and three months, been promptly, and by
MOST CONTENTIOUS MODE
OF DISPOSING OF IT, nailed TO the Ia
Jle' Of the House of Representatives.
A notice was given, however, that a motion
to reconsider the vote would be made. That
was merely for the purpose of breaking the
fall of the defeated party
While, as it will be seen, there were 3S
votes short of the full number of the entire
vote of the House, yet we consider this vote
as indicative of the feelings of the House at
any time hereafter, on the Sub-Treasury
scheme in any shape in which it may be
brought forward.
1t is well known, that many who voted
against laying the bill on the table, are hostile
to that, or any other bill, that can be brought
forward, having in view the accomplishment
of providing for the government different
kind of currency from that employed in con-
Quoting the general commerce of the country.
We believe, therefore, although there may be
renewed efforts, to effect the purpose of sepa-
rating the Government from the People, so
far as relates to the medium or currency,

a bill has passed both Houses Of Congress,
to restore to the District Courts Of the West
ern District Of Virginia, Circuit Court juris-
diction, and providing for sending back to the
District Courts, respectively, all causes which
were transferred to the Circuit Court at Louis
burg, and limiting the circuit, in future, to the
exercise Of appellate jurisdiction. The bill
has not yet received the official sanction Of
the President, but viii, no doubt, do SO, and
go into effect from its passage.

DEAR SR: The Loco-foco nominating committee
have been singuarly unfortunate in this city in Sc
lecing candidate for Mayor. II is said that two
gentlemen who were honored whh their selection,
have declined on he ground Of being opposed to heir
creed IN all its phases. Alderman Earian the last
nominated candidate, stated publicly in Albany a,
which place he soourned when the nomination
rendered that he gonld not consent to serve. Great
efforts are making TO him to reverse his de-
cision, but doubt their success. The worthy Al
derman is we'll aware that no candidate Of the Loco
focos can succeed, and at his time Of life defeat
would forever 10 him, close the door of public of
| fee.
His selection is one of the strange and unaccount-
able events of these changeable times. When the
Loco-focos attempted to take possession of Tamma-
ny Hail. some two years since, Mr.. YariaH was the
chairman OF the meeting which elected them from
the Hall, and he was then the object Of their bitter
denuncation. After the meeting adjourned, and the
lights were extinguished the desructiyes introduced
candles which they lighted pih Loco.toco matches;
and hence their designation as Loco-foeos. What
apologies the Alderman has made 10 these turbulent
gentry, 10 cause them now 10 award him honors, is
more than can tell, but my impression is that the
most violent of the class will scarcely support him
The aspect of commercial affairs is any thing but
promising. The dreadful state Of the domestic ex-
changes operates against business men, and prevents
the collection of their debts. Every day makes
matters worse, and if our State LEGISLATURE does not
in some way, provide for return Of bank facilities,
Ner York lisa doomed city.
The weather is now spring like, and If the Gov
eminent war on the currency was at an end, the
throngs who press through thorough fares with
anxious and care-worn countenances might again re-
sumo their former cheerfuness
Whatever is TO be the fate of the Sub Treasury
bill, l trust that the action of the House will be
prompt and speedy, SO that the dreadful suspense
under which now labor may be at an end. If
the country must groan for year or two under the
tyranny of swarms of Executive officers, we may as
well know the worst, and it, as we hope and believe,
the destrucves are to be frustrated the sooner the
cheering fact is known the better. / may be san
guine but | firmly believe that, the result Of the
election win show an immense falling off in the
Loco-'oc vote from last fall Indeed if it was not
for the Office holders under the General Government,
who corps of most active and Jealous election
eerers, The party could not rally one fourth Of the
whole number of voters. Our banks scontnue to
curail their discounts to meet the payment of their
liabilities in May, in specie Opinions vary as TO
the probability of the cooperation of the banks Of
our neighboring States in the resumption This
cannot be decided until after the meeting of the
convention in April.
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-03-29

the Legislature OF Mississippi and Louisiana,
in relation TO their banks, the former has been
mlsrepresented two votes and the latter one
vote; and we have the most incontroyertibio
evidence, that Ohio, New Jersey, and New
York gave four votes in violation Of the ex-
pressed opinions of the peoples representa-
tiyes. Here we have ten out Of the twenty
seven votes that carried the bill which we
have every reason to suppose were gwen IN
direct opposition to the views and wishes OF
the people whom they represent.
We admonish those subserpie,lt zcalots TO
pause in their onward career to despotism; the
people will bring them to an awful account
and reckoning for their willingness to traffic
away their liberties.
But how stands Mr.. Cuthbert, on whose
motion the 23d section of the bill was stricken
out, because, as he said " He tcas mol iriling
70 60 beyond that ,ehich ,oas essentially neces-
sary for e6ecting that object, "a separation Of
the business Of the Government and that OF
the banks.) He ,Cas mol ,riiling 10 go 70 The
ertem Of abandoning that medium by ichich the
commerce Of The country is carried on" Yet
Mr.. Cuthbert voted for the bill, which con
templates the receipt Of nothing else in pay
ment Of the public dues but gold and silver.
We shall pursue the subject in our next.

sistibfe and overwhelming Cesar, Cromwell and
Bonaparte marched into power by gradual steps;
they constantly aattered the people, and protested
their devotion to their rights and liberties but

the Executive department OF our Government is now
