CON GRESS.

a Oil mas passed the Senate for the
armed occupation and settlement of Flo
rida. 1t gives bounty in land. 600
acres,) to citizens who will go in and
take possession Of the country opeIrun
by the Indians. and expel them. A siu-
gular, and rather futile expedient, we
should think, TO terminate the war.
A bill 10 authorize an issue of Urea.
sury notes has passed the House of Re-
representatives.. This bill provides mere
iy for the issue of the balance of the
notes authorized at the last session, or
in other words extends the time till
May to carry out the provisions of the
act.
Mr.. Rives's substitute for the bill
more effectually 10 secure the public mos
ney i'll the hands Of officers and agents.
and to punish public defaulters, was ne,
gauved by the Senate, and the bill orr
dered TO be engrossed. ayes 90. noes Is.
The substitute proposed the Virginia
system, which prrcludes public officers
from receiving money into their hands,
and requires that the revenue Shall be
placed directly in Bank by the PAYERS.
An amendment was also proposed by
MIR. Tallmadge. to the effect that When
ever a collector or receiver shall depo.
site any Of the public money in bank.
it shall be deposited to the credit of the
Treasurer of the United States, Instead
oil the individual credit of such collector
or receiver. which was likewise voted
down !! Thus we are to profit nothing
by the very dear lesson which has been
taught us by Swartwout. Price, and O.
theirs, OH the working of the sub .trea-
sury, but every guard or check on the
public plunderers is coDtemptuousIy re-
jected. If perchance they should de-
posiie any of the public money in bank
tor the amendment did not require them
TO do SOL they are still to have as com.
plete control over it as if it were their
individual property. The rejection of
provision SO obviously just and proper,
surely ought 10 be enoug 10 open the
eyes OF the people to the iniquity and
danger OF the system which the Admi-
histration is laboring SO industriously to
iasten on the country. The punishment
provided By the bill against defaulters,
we regard as afTording little real securi-
ty-CatchIng. as the saying is, goes be-
himself deiaulter TO all amount he can
no longer conceal. he will be apt to fol.
low the example ofSwartwout and Price
make as large a grab as possible, and
clear out for England or Texas.
The bill to prevent the interference
OF Federal officers in elections, was still
under discussion in the Senate.
