The Report ofthe Dueng Committee was brought
INTO the House OF Representatives last Saur lay
but no action bad upon it, the House having ad
ourned while motion to print pending. In

The recommendation is in the following words:
1.-The Committee, therefore viewing the breach of
The rights and privileges of the House. the part
Of Mr. Graves, to have been an offence of this high
character, against the vital principle of dclberatpe
Government feel constrained, by sense of duty,
10 present to the House resolution that he be eX-
PEELED therelrom."
With regard the seconds, the co nmiltee declare
they deserve the censure of the House.

Enquirer was recently in the habit of quoting so
largely, as a Sir Oracie in financial matters has
somewhat changed its tune, aud is now appIaudng

iirical economy
u The Richmond Enquirer is quite in raptures
with the decision of the Bank Convention not TO re-
sumo Specie Payments until the first Monday in
January, 1889. And yet it condemned Mr.. Biddle
for advising a SIMILAR post ponement The only DIFF
ference between Mr.. Bidde's opinion aud the deci-
sion of the Bank Conventions, is, that Mr.. g. did not
name particular day for resumption, and the Bank
Convention debut we all know that there is Just as
much difference between determining to do a thing
at given period, and doing it, there is between
signing bond and paying it. Although the Bank
Convention has fixed upon the first Monday in Jan
uary next, it is well known that they will not resume
that day if the adverse circumstances should
then exist which now compel them to proIong the
suspension-as on the other hand, they will resume
before that period arrives should those umstan-
ces to exist. Let the general government be
uriven from its hostile position, and the Banks may
probably resume in the Fall-lct that government
maintain its present attitude and lheywll acrcr be a
