A FRIEND OF STATE RIGHTS
THE LATEST "EXPEDIENr" DEFEATED.
We said, IN our last, that the Senate bill
for the repeal of the Deposite Act OF 1886
could never pass the House of Represents.
tives in the shape IN which 1t then stood.
Our prediction is verified. The House
struck on, the obnoxious provision.
Our readers will see, by the report and
proceedings OF the Senate on Wednesday,
that that body concurred BY strong vote,
30 to IL, IN this important amendment oi
the House, striking out the second section
of the bill, beng that which repealed the
salutary provisions Of the Opposite Act, &c.
Ii will be recolected that, when Mr..
Wright introduced this bill, 1t contained
but one section and that section had sin-
gle object, VIZ. to provide that back notes,
of banks which have issued out small bulls,
NAV, nevertheless, be received at the Urea.
sury, &c, with this Limitation, that 10 bill.
shall be received Of any bank which SHALT
after the first day Of October next, issue or
gay out such small bills.
This removed from bills, for that time,
the incdpdcity 10 be recetred.
Mr.. " ebster moved, thereupon, 10 add
another section, removing, in like manner
the incdpdcity Of banks 10 be employed us
deposite banks.
This Mr.. Wright opposed. Mr.. Web
ster insisted, strongly, that II This we're not
done, very unequal state OF things would
exist, as there would be deposlte banks N
some States, and none IN others. Mr. Tall.
nadge and Mr.. Rves spoke earnestly to
the same general point
In this posture OF things, aud apparently
in order TO get rid OF the pressure Of this
argument OF inequality, Mr.. Wight pro
posed, instead OF Mr. Webster's section, a
section, as a second section, entirely re
peaiing the Opposite Act, except as to tie
deposIte with the States.
On this general proposition the debate
was resumed, aud continued with much an
inatton. Mr.. Wnght's second section vas,
in the end, adopted IN the Senate, aud form.
ed the subject OF the very interesting. debate
which ensued IN the House, ard winch re
{ suited ~ rejecting this second section By q
majority OF 10 votes; the great ground OF
opposition TO the section being, that II aban-
doDed all control over the custody Of the
! public money TO the Executive.
The House having amended The bill BY
rejecting this section, the bil came back to
; the Seuare on Wednesday, aud the amend.
/, ment Of thr House was coHcurred IN, az we
have already stated. Ii will be seen, By
reference 10 MIR. Webslers observations,
reported to day, IN what state the whole
subject is now left.-Nat. Int. 9Th inst.
TIE Army BiU.-The amendments made
in the House Of Representatives 10 the Sen
ate's bull for an Increase Of the Army have
been concurfed 10 by the Senate without
altering letter of them. The President
of the United States yesterday signed The
bill 50 that the bill, as published 10 our pa.
per Of Monday last, has become the law Of
the land. he amendments made IN The
House Of Representatives are understood to
have been lar from acceptable to the Sen.
ate; but the friends Of the measure m that
body preferred accepting the amendments
IN gross To sending the bill back TO the
House upon a disagreement about amend
ments, which might, possibly, on the pre-.
sent fluctuatlon Of numbers 10 that body,
lead 10 the loss Of the bill.
Whatever amendments are deemed es
sentiaI BY the Senate will probably be sought
for by a supplementary bill.
The effect Of Tins bill, as We have hereto.
fore stated, all be to add four thousand
five hundred rank and file TO the present
Military EstabIlshmeut.-tb.
4 Regulation Of SteamJodts.-The Senate
yesterday disagreed to that amendment Of
the House Of Representatives to lis bill for
regulating the navigation Of steamboats,, by
which It was proposed to Iunlc, fine Of
five thousand dollars on owners for any loss
OF liie or lives by explosion Of boilers, &c.
aud substituted for II a provision that, ~ all
i prosecutions a, law for damages in such
case, the fact Of such explosion shall be
considered prissa tacte evidence Of wlIful
intent, &c. Thus amended, the bill has
passed both Houses and nav be considered
