A REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.

In April, 1884, the vote Of the House Of
Representatives, against restoring metaphysics
10 the United States Bank, stood li9 nays,
lo4 ayes, being majority Of is votes. The.
vote in favor Of continuing the State Banks as
the repositories Of the public money stood lit
ayes, lo4 nays, being a majority in favor of
10 votes, and sustaining the Administration in
its policy on the two measures, by juste ma
hen vote Of IA majority.
In 1888, the vote of the House Of Repre-
sentatives on the Sub-treasury scheme, pro-
posed by the President, stood l25 nays, Ill
ayes, being majority against il Of IA votes.
Thus the great leading measure Of the Adj
ministration in 1898 was defeated by the same
vote precisely, that similar measure was sus-
iained in 1884.

ABSENTEES.

The signal defeat OF the Sub.treasury Bill
affords an occasion for proud congratulations
and rejoicing throughout our whole country.
One Of the most wicked schemes is over
thrown, the momentous consequences that
were anticipated from it are averted, and the
country saved. To the watchlulness Of the
opposition, and the independent and patriotic
spirit Of the few holding the balance Of power,
and who have nobly turned the scale in favor
of the country, every thing is due. The
grand Catapnlta, aimed, by the Administration
against state corporations, is itself battered
down and destroyed. This Vampire Of pros
perity, this nightmare Of commerce is at last
driven away, and the country, for season, is
likely to breathe again. 1t is a second delive-
rance, which may well be made the subject of
rejoicing at the approaching anniversary of
our national independence.
While we accord ample justiceto the Wings,
it is to be remembered that without the Con-
servatives, they could have done nothing. The
Conservatives have saved the country. BY
continuing to throw their weight on the side Of
the people, as we do not, doubt they will, they
can secure the triumph Of correct principles in
every state.

up for consideration, the bill introduced by him.
making further provisions for the regulation aud
collection Of The rerenae.
The bill was read
| MIR. WEBSTER explained the object of the bill
at length. The third motion he withdrew, naslnuch
as the Finance Committee had reported that the de-
poSile act did justify any constructs ion which would
enable the Secretary Of the Treasury refuse the
notes OF banks which banks, had at any time sus-
| pended specie payments. He substituted for this
motion provision enabling the Secretary Of The
Treasury 10 receive the notes Of Banks which since
July 1886, had issued or paid out notes Of less de-
| nomination than five dollars
| The people, he said, expected Congress 10 carry
out the measure already begun by the repeal OF the
specie circular; TO restore things 10 the condition in
which they stood previous to the passage of the De-
posi,e act Of june 1886 and the issue Of the specie
| order of July, 1886.
| Mr. BUCHANAN rose and said that al the re-
quest OF his friends, he would offer his BILL intro
duced BY him yesterday, as an amendment TO this
| BILL He objected to Mr.. Websers bill because it
| revived the deposite system. He said il would be
suicide for his party to go home and leave things as
they were, without regulation by him, because they
would not get their favorite measure. The propo-
| sition which he now offered compromised with his
instructions, and conceded with his own views
| Mr.. BUCHANAN'S bill was read

tant and too embarrassing be decided upon hastily

The cry Is still, They come. Our cas-

Though condemned by the people, and de-
feated by their immediate representatives, il is
clear the administration does not intend to
abandon their destructive and baneful Sub
treasury measures. The movement in bring

or Mr.. Buchanan's project, we think il is
well described by Mr.. Norvell as being "oniy
so many crude conceptions Of financial and
political qnackery." That part which relates
to his proposition to receive and pay out bank
notes, is so utterly preposterous, that ifbrought
forward by the merest 7yroin finance, it
could not fail to raise an accompanying blush
on his cheek.
The other part, preserves all the increase
Of Executive power, that has been contained
in any previous proposition whatever. The
public moneys are to be kept by the Execu-
tive officers; all the warrants drawn by the
Treasury Department are to be on them, and
the public money on special deposite in banks,
is to be held subject to their order, control and
discretion.
What will our veteran contemporary of the
Richmond Enquirer say to this, whose most
prominent objection to the Suh-treasury bill
has been founded on the dangerous enlarge
ment of Executive power which it created,

DEAR SlR glanced in my last at the prospect
which was unfoded to our vision, by the successful
trips of the Great Hestern steamer, out and back
since which the arrival or the Sirius, after passage
each way of equal uniformity, has contributed TO
strengthen public confidence in the future Dement'S to
be derived from such rapidly Of travel between
New York and the great maratime and commercial
nation Of the old world The recent disaster oil the
steamer Pulaski, has not affected the public mind
untavoraby in relation the European steam ships.
Unlike the frail structures which ply to and from
the Southern ports, the Great Western is q shipoi

substantial ships Of war, and her boiler is placed
within an iron apartment, which is said to be SO
constructed 10 render an explosion harmless, ex-
cept to those in immediate contact with the fre The
new ship "Tbe British Queen" is represented as
still more substantial than the Great Western, and
passage in either may be considered safe convey
ance 10 Europe. The officers of the Sirius gave
splendid dinner TO the members Of the Court Of
Errors now in session in this city, and these OF the
Great Western followed suit by serving upa bounti-
full collation. to their honors. As may be supposed,
the most gratifying exhib tion Of national courtesy
and good feeling were exhibited by all parties and
the gallant entertainers won, by their attentions the
good will of their Yankee visers. The weather is
still unusually warm. Lieen coates, game vests,
Cor rather no vests at ally and unmentonabes OF the
lightest texture are the order Of the day.
The public gardens, and other places OF amuse-
ment, are nightly thronged with our exhausted
citizens whose lis,less attitudes reminds one OF the
groups of Oriental sherbel-drinkers who reciine IN

THE GLOBES APOLOGY.

The Globe says, the uncertainty Of the re-
suit of the vote on the Sub-treasury that pre-
coded its being taken" grew out Of the i'm
preston that Messrs. Foster, Vanderyeer and
Edwards, Of New York, Messrs. Mallory and
Robertson, of Virginia, and Jackson Of Geor-
gia, having declared themselves friendly, to
the bill, would support it in some form.
This, with the vote Of Mr.. Bruyn Of New
York, whose health, it was supposed. would
enable him to attend, would, with the Speak
er's vote, have exactly divided the house,"
We doubt the accuracy Of the statement
above made, that all those gentleman were
friendly to the bill. Some Of them we are
assured have invariably expressed themselves
decidedly hostile to the bill in any and every
shape.
And what does all this computation amount
to! Why, to mere lie on the question, in
Guiding the Speakers vote, which would have
+" eractly dirided The House,
This, is not as thus stated. Had Mr..
Smith, now absent, Mr.. Ripley, detained at
home by indspostion, been here, and Mr..
Lawler been living to have voted, even allow
ing the computation and classification of the
Globe to be correct, there would have been
three additional votes which would have given
majority Of two of" The House" Excluding
the Speaker, who could not have voted against
the BILL
1t would be more profitable to those who
employ the Globe, to compute the number
who voted for the bill, in defiance of the will
and wishes Of those whom they represent,
than calculating what might have been the re-
suit, il all had voted as they strived to induce
them to do.

The official organ Of Tuesday night, after
uitering its lamentations for the defeat Of
the Independent Treasury bill, and admitting
that /" The uote ofthe House Of Representa-
tiues has disposed" Of il suggests, that on
the CONSERVATIVES rests The responsibility
Of depising some mode Of administering the
public finances, phich shall not make them ac-
eessary 70 The policy Of The Federal party"
Why. it was but the day preceding, that the
Conservatives were classed with the wings,
and holding the same doctrines Now, on
this little Spartan band is thrown the respon-
sibihty ofdevising some scheme under which
the public finances shall be administered.
Are we to look on this as an invitation for
the Conservatives to renew their proposition,
contained in Mr.. Rives bill We cannot re-
gard it in no other light. If that is the OBJ
ject, we do not doubt, it will readily be offer
ed again.
The object Of Mr.. Rives, and those who
united with him in originally bringing for
ward his proposition, was, first, to defeat the
federal policy of those who urged the /" f.
deraP scheme the Sub-reasury on the country;
then,to avoid the necessity Of a National Bank;
and, above all, to restore and preserve a
sound currency, and equalize the exchanges
of the country.
All these important considerations to the
people and the whole nation, the Conserva-
tives stand ready now to take the /" responsi-
bihfy" Of accomplishing, in case their system
contained in Mr. Rives's bill shall be adopt
ed, and a competent individual be placed at
the head Of the Treasury Department, to car
ry it into practical operation. But in the
ability or competency Of the present incum-
bent, they have no confidence !, and 1sxanLi'
nover consent to have sheir plan adopted and
placed in his hands to be defeated and DIS
graced.
The official organ now knows the condi-
ton on which the Conservatives will take
all responsibility on their shoulders. If they
are accepted, we are sure that the country
will experience all the benefits we predict.
lfnot, then be the " responsibility" Of leaving
things, both relating to the Government and
the people, in the present deranged and con-
fused state, onthe heads Of the administration,
and its Sub-treasury supporters.
