THE BARINGS.
In the year 1895 or 6, William Bingham Of Phila-.
dclphia, was Senator in Congress- and through his
influence with the elder Mr. Adams, if not with Gen
Washington himself he procured for his son-in-law Mr.
Alexander Barring the agency Of the United States Co
vernment IN its moneyed transactions with England or
rather Mr. Bingham induced the Government to change
their general banking account from the Messrs Wlnks
at Amsterdam, given to them by John Adams and Ben
amin Franklin, TO the Barngs, in London and we may
say, that from that period unt, within few years the
house oil Bangs Brothers g. Co through all its changes
Of partners, have transacted the business public and
private, OF the United States together with an immense
amount Of mercantile business generally for American
citizens Added to this, through the same influence
that house was gwen the account OF the first Bank Of
the United States which expired in 1911
When the new Bank Of the United States was char
tered, in 1915 they received the Appointment of agent of
that Bank in England, and for Europe generally thus
transacting the moneyed business of those institutions
and OF the General Government, and, may add Of the
mercantile community for period Of more than forty
years past, realizing immense commissions and profits
and at all times holding large balances of the banks
their hands, giving them the appearance, if not the
reality, OF controlling considerable part Of the floating
capital OF the whole United States II is reasonable to
suppose that these marks of confidence gave the part
OF that house great influence in the British Empire
and also on the continent Of Europe .. y,
The elder member OF the 6rm Mr. Francis Barring
was made Baronet--thls title has descended 10 his
eldest son, Thomas Barring who, without being part
ner in the house received with the title from Sir Francis
the immense hereditary estates gained by the business
operations conded TO that house by the American peo
pie and their Institutions The two sons Of Sir Thomas
Barring, Thomas and John, now partners Of the
house, while the second Of old Sir Francis Alexan
der. who acted the senior member of the house Of
Barngs, Brothers Co. for more than thirty years. who
married Miss Bingham, Of Philadelphia and who retired
from the house in 1925 with fortune of upwards OF
two millions Of pounds sterling, is Lord Ashbur,on
| "A peer Of the Realm.
We thus see that few active Young men OF humble
origin from Exeter, in the county of Devonshre have
by the influence they possessed through the great mo-
neyed operations Of the American Government and
people, not only advanced themselves to immense for
tunes. but to distinguished marks of honor and favor
from their Sovereign.

Mr. HUBBARD, pursuant 10 notice called up the
following joint resolution, heretofore offered by MI
Clay, of Ky:
Resolrcd. bv he Senate and House Of Representa-

| MIR WEBSTER offered the amendment which
he had heretofore indicated and which provides ha
hereafter there shall be no discrimination between
the kind Of funds, or in the medium OF payment III
the different branches Of the revenue
| Mr. CLAY, of Ky, was in favor OF either form
| of the Resolution He spoke, at some length, IN
support OF the resolution remarkng that this mea-
| sure and the establishment of National Bank when
he should PROPOSE at present. were the only TWO
measures which could afford any relief TO the couh
try and renew its prosperity. He explained lae
operation of the Resolution, and argued that II gave
the Secretary of the Treasury all the discretionary
power which proper to the reception and as
bursemen Of the notes of specie-paying banks and
as to the Treasury order he supposed that all par
ties would concur in its RECESSION.
Mr.. BENTON spoke in opposition to the NOTION
and after some further discussion,
The Senate adjourned.

II man is Democrat and all his acts and measures
are IN accordance with democratic principles it matters
not In our judgment, what other term you append to
his name, he is still Democrat and worthy the conf
dence OF all upright democrats just in regard to
christianity II man is Christian in word and deed,
It matters not what other term you attach it. Call
him an Eplscopaan Presbyterian, Unversalist Baptist
Methodist, Quaker what you please he is not enti-
tied to the high and exalted Of Christian, unless
he squares his actions with that first and great principle
OF christianity, )" Love thy neighbor myself.

The Globe is laboring most earnestly to persuade
the people that the Bank of the United States is in
solvent and we suppose it has succeeded in some in
stances. MIR. WrightS bill for selling the bonds of
that institution, provides that they shall not be sold
under par. Does the government Of the United
States need money much as TO ring its empty cof
ers in the ears of all the world and yet refuse to sell
the bonds of bankrupt institution for less than par!
Either Mr. Wright and the Secretary of the Treasu-
