THE SUB TREASURY BILL
The fate OF this bill II Is SAID, depends up.
on the absence Of two or three metnbefs on
either side, and IL yc, as therefore entirely
uncertain. The Administration, as the En-
qurer feared has not been inactive IN sub.
sidIzlng, and has won over, during the las,
month, two or three plant representatives.
The Nadisnnlin states that there are sew.
oral members Of the House, classed among
the supporters of The bill as reported b, Mr..
CambFeleng, who will not vote Tor It unless
the specie clause be stricken out. Blu, that
paper taluks 1t perfectly mmater,al wheth.
er the clause bc retained or stricken out. as
10 either case, tho whole matter would be
leit to The discretion of the Executive, and
IN that event no doubt exists that specie
would DC demanded, OF notes OF specie banks
received under such restrictions as 10 oper
ate nartuusly. THIS IS inferred from the
course at the Administration, as Indicated
by It's las, circular, and from declarations
made BY MIR, Cambreeng on The floor OF
Congress, who speaks bs authority and
Who tells the peoples representatives that
whether the bull pass or not, our revenue
system remains unaltrred. We merely
substitute (says he) The viii of Congress for
Treasury discretion, and leave nothing TO
Executive power Which can be regulated

Whatever chance there was OF the passage Of
