Mr.. DOmgo,Ie followed 10 hsrangue in
which he chiefly insisted upon the uneonstI-
utionaliiy Of the Government to employ
State Institutions as agents in its tscal con-
rerns.
Mr.. Wise asked him il he unders TODD him
as maintaining the dea that the government
was not authorized to employ state banks as
public repositories.
Mr.. Dromgoole replied that he certainly
did.
Mr.. Wise then quoted remark made by
the Father of Dempcracyn-Mr. Jefferson,
when "A member of WashIngton's Cabinet
--ihat he thought National Bank uncon-
situiional and unnecessary because there
were State Banks in existence.
Mr.. Prenl,s, of Mississippi, next got The
flor, and said he was ghd Of Gariond'S
moi m to decapiiate the bill, by strlkin
nut the en- iciing clause, and was wllIlng T..
assist in the execution. MI. PrcntsS then
after allutling in Humorous way 10 the oii
mngl,ng of all kinds of arguhenis which
had been twisted Together, 10 support the
bill, proceeded to sketch is orsin AM pro-
gress, which IN any other hands wOald have
proved stale anl Improbable. but cloIhed
wi h his power of sarcasm, and playful hl-
mour, rslted the at:enti n and excied the
mirih ofthe entire House. He then pounr-
ed down on the speeches Of Messrs. Pick
ems and Cambreleng, and first, brought into
lorcbIe contrast the outpouring Of zeal in
Mr. Pickens' speech of yesterday, with GER
tain passages from a speerh made by IN Il
member on the 18th of March, 1887, which
must have proved any Thing but delightful
"reminiscences, to the South Carolinian, who
was then The Anlipodes If his present self
Mr.. Cambreleng was next noticed tor his
discretion IN not joining pell-,nol 10 The figh',
hut standing aInof, pointing out the enemy
To his f. lowers, and crying 'there he is -
SEIZE himm One would suppose he is nol
heir leader, but the Com nissary General.
Next alIuding 10 the slme gentlemen's boast
# The thriving state of the country, under
The present Sub Treasury Bill; Mr.. T. SAID,
il reminded him of aqpack who after red &c
ing his patient 10 deaths door wi h his nos
rum, sees in his prbstrate victim The least
twiiching of the eyelid--the least qulvcr of
the lip--claps his hand with extacy and
cries, she lyes:--see how have revived
him!' such is the enthusiasm of the Char
nun of he Committee Of Wavs and Mems,
as he comes with this last pill in the bor!
He next alluded 10 Cambreleng's mild
persuasive that the Bill was for their mu-
tml gold-it WAS one to suit all party feel
lngs--and he cries lei there be no strife he
tween me and thee. After this SH1piter in
modo, said Mr.. p | was not prepared for
so much fortiter in re, when he suddenly
changes his tone and threats us that if the
B II is MT passed, it will actually exist, and
that until lS4l. After commenting in a
more serious tone on this sentiment, which
certainly is expressive of as much contempt
as to the legislative power Of Congress, as
possibly can be, Mr.. P. said he h1d heard
Of an Ancient Athlete who by practising
dliy to carry calf, was eventually able o
carry it when it grew to he bullock. He
supposed the Chlirml of the Finance
Committee contemplated The same gradual
system with re ard to the Sub-Treasury
) stem, one portion of which rht, were to
have the first year, ani so on till lS4l
when they shall have accustomed their
shoulders to the whole weigh, Of the sys EN-; /;
ar that he was now desirous to load with
the full grown bullock at once, and not the
calf
Mr. Wise here said thit as Mr.. Pren'iss
might be exhausted, he would move the
Committee would rise, which was done.
Dlrng the whole Of the speech of Mr..
PrenHss here were regular bursts of laugh

own scat which was near Prentiss, and
| therefore too much in the focus of the looks
nf the amusei House aud galleries, an
hence he retired toa remote part Of the
Hall. where, buried deep in his chair, only
lis frlorn spectacle vIslge could be seen
over he desk.
