tween the General Government and
the Banks, in tho collection, safe-keep-
ing, and transfer ofthe Public Revenue,
is not necessary TO the fiscal operations
of the Government, and has proved
Injurious to the Banks themselves, by
stimulating them TO over-issue.
AND WHEREAS, it is important at
all times, that the Government should
have perfect and immediate control
over its funds, unaffected, as far as
possible, by the action of private cor.
porations-and that the latter should
have no lnducement or temptation to
mingIe in the political conflicts of the
day or the Government TO influence
| or control them IN the management OF
their private business ;-Thereiore,
Reso1ped, That the connexion ex !.
listing between the Government and
the Banks previous to the suspension
of specie payments in May last, ought
not to be renewed, nor should Congress
employ the agency of any banks in
collecting, and safeskeeping, the public
revenue, except as Special Deposito-
RES.
Resolved, That while il can recog.
Mise no other proper standard OF value,
than gold and silver, and believe that
il is essential to the soundness OF the
currency, that a larger portion of the
precious metals should be introduced
into the circulation, than has hereto
fore existed, by creating greater de-
mand for them; yet we are willing
that the public revenues shall be recei-
vable in the notes of specie. paying
Banks; provided that the balances
due from them shall be actually con-
yerted into specie, at short intervals,
and placed in special deposite, after
such time, and under such regulations,
as Congress may deem expedient, so
as not to affect injuriously the interest
of the Banks, whilst they prevent the
public monies from being employed for
private or corporate purposes.
Resolced, That however impor.
tant the principles of policy and expe-
diency involved in the question now
depending before Congress, with res
pect TO the fiscal operations Of the Go
vernment, mag be, and as much as we
desire to see the subject speedily ad-
jasted upon jus. aud proper grounds
we do not conceive that 1t should pro
duce disunion in the Republican party,
or proven. those who differ in opinion
on this point alone, from acting harmo.
niously together, in support of the ge-
neral measures of the present Admit
istration, without which, the fruits Of
the victories won by concert and uni.
on, may be lost by unnecessary divi-
sions.
Reso7red, That we cordially ap.
prove the temperate, conclllatory, and
Ii beral tone Of the Presidents recent
Message 10 Congress on the subject of
the Currency; and that our confidence
in his wisdom, prudence, patriotism,
and fidelity, remains unlmpslred.
The Resolutions were laid on the
table, and ordered to be printed.
Mr.. Servant offered the following re.
solution
Resolved, That the Committee on |
Militia Laws be instructed to inquire
INTO the expediency of organizing the
militia of the 115th regiment, SO as
they may be in a state of defence a.
gainst the Northern AbolitionIsts.
The question was taken and the
Resolution was adopted by large ma
jority.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1888.


At the usual hour, the HOUSE, took
up the Mississippi Election Case, and
Mr.. PRENTIss, who was entitled TO
the floor, made speech, whieh Will
long be remembered as ono Of tho hap
piest reoinders ever made in Congress.
He welded all the edgc-toois Of elo-
auence and wit with inimitable dexter.
ity aud effect, and made great havoc
with the arguments Of Messrs. LIZ.
CARE and PENNyBAeKER f; and tore to
pieces the essays Of those worthy gen.
tlemen, Messrs. Foster and BRoNsoN.
After the able and eloquent gentlemen
resumed his seat.
e. Mr.. CUsuMAN of New Hampshire
rose to do his Office, and demanded
the Previous QUESTION. A motion
was made for the call of the House
and carried. Ii was found that all
the members were present excepting
Messrs. HAMER, KrLGoRE, MURRAY,
Parton, PHrLIPPs, RIPLEY, SERGEANT
and Town, CO., Messrs. GHoLsoN
and CLAIBORNE did not vote. Three
ofthe above named gentlemen, Messrs.
MURRAY, PATTON and RIcHARDsoN,
came in afterwards and voted. The
call Cor the previous question was not
seconded. The vote was Ayes I07.
Nays III.
When this decision was announced,
cries Of "question question !" resoun.
ded through the Hall, and which be-
came louder and louder, when II was
perceived that the brilliant and capti-
waiting premier, DR.. HAYNES, wished to
address the House. The Doctor be-
came highly indignant and exhibited
"A determination to speak noiens roleaS.
lie declared that though he respected
tho House, he also respected himself!
and then went on to argue most lear
nedlv, most ngcniously and most clio.
quently against the claims Of Messrs.
PRENrIss and WORD.
When he had finished, the question
was put on the adoption Of Mr.. BELLE
amendment to the resolution Of Mr..
BRoNsoN, which amendment, in sub.
stance, proposes: that the resolution OF
last session, daslaring Mossrs. GHoL.
SON and CLASRSE entitled to thei:
seats, as members Of the Twenty
Fifth Congress, be rcscinded and fur.
Their declares those gentlemen not tc
have been dnlxuslected.
This amen pfwas carried-Yea,
11o, Nays 1fy A majority of Sc
ven.
After such an expression of opinion,
one might imagine that the course oil
every candid and enlightened mar,
wassplain enough. If Messrs. GnoL.
soyfRnd CLAIBORNE were not duly
elected members OF the Twenty. Fifth
Congress. and not entitled to their
seats, WIS have been elected? The
answer is obvious. Messrs. PRENTIss
and WORD most certainly who are
here with credentials from the State.
Who can doubt, after the vote Just
recorded, that such was the deliberate
sense OF the House Who can doubt
that Messrs. PRENTIss and WoRD were,
in the opinion Of majority, entitled to
their seats.
No, so thought Mr.. Howard, one of
Baltimore's Representatives and |

No bank once selected as deposi-
tory of the public money shall be dis
continued; nor the deposites Withdrawn
from it; unless il has failed to perform
the duties prescribed in this bill or 10
redeem It's notes in specie on demand ;
or unless the Secretary Of the Treasu-
nv regards it as no longer safe depo-
STORY. Then it thall be his duty to
withdraw the public moneys, and dis
continue Il as depository; and report
to Congress his reasons provided,
however, that il shall at all times be 10
the competency of Congress to discon-
tinue any depository, and THAR bank
shall be prevented from ceasing to ACT
in that capacity, upon paying the full
amount Of the money deposited in It BY
the government.
The projet further proposes that the
balances due the deposlte banks by
other institutions shall be paid up,
weekly, in specie /; so as TO check any
tendency TO over.issue, and aid IN
preserving sound currency.
And that the deposite banks should
enter into mutual arrangements to
receive and credit as cash the notes Of
each other.
And further, that The revenue OF the
United States shall be received and
collected only In gold or silver, Trea-
sury notes, and notes OF specie-paying
banks; but after the passage Of the
act the notes Of no bank which shall
issue notes of a less denomination than
FIVE dollars and two years thereafter
the notes of no bank which shall issue
notes of less denomination than TEN
dollars, shall be receivable in payment
Of public dues; nor any notes, which
the banks wherein they are TO be
deposited, will not, under the control
and supervision of the Secretary ofthe
Treasury, consent to credit as cash !;
nor shall the notes Of any bank be so
receivable which shall not resume
specie ayments on or before the LIST
Of July next. The section which pre-
scribes these requisites, provides also,
that the Secretary of the Treasury
shall make no discrimination in the
reception Of the different branches Of
the public revenue.
The project farther makes it the
duty Of the Secretary of the Treasury
TO lay before Congress at regular inter-
walls, lists of the banks employed as
and all such Information,
as is necessary to enable Congress to
judge Of their condition. And finally
proposes to repeal all acts and parts OF
acts within its purvew.

The zeal which the Canadians display
to obtain some relic from Navy Island,
IS very amusing. The Niagara Repor-
ter says, if the government wish to de-
stroy the forests on the Island, it can be
done very cheap:
"Let number of boats be in readl
ness to ferry her majesty's loyal subjects
across, and in short time every tree
and bush will be cut down and carried
away for relics, There is perpetual
search, as if for hidden treasure, on the
island, since its evacuation, for memori-
ais, no matter how trifing, of Macken-
zie, and his tribe Of ruffians, and no SOON
er will all miserable nicknacks which the
thieves left in their precipilancy, be ap
propriated, than the woods themselves
will be put in requisilion for snuff box
es--all the walking sticks are already
gone. One of the most ludicrous in
stances of this childish and morbid taste
however. is exhibited by correspond
ent of the Hamilton Gazette, who thus
writes:-" We found Mrs. Mackenzie's s
gloves in her bed, and nice little pair
they are."
