,a,e Yesterday, where the two Charges pre-
viously announced-Judge Eve of Kentucky,
for Texas; and Mr.. Jackson of Philadelphia,
for Copenhagen. Removals will certainly take
place of those at Naples, Belgium and Portugal
though it is not known Just when.
The business ofthe house yesterday was
without interest. Mr.. Adams had great
MANY abolition petitions 10 present, and he
saws he has some drawers-full more! The old
gentleman is far from submitting TO the rule oil
action laid down for this session, and means 10
make it as troublesome az possible.
The s. gnal rebukes OF the Press, and OF Pub
lie sentiments, have had much effect upon the
House of Representatives, and will in the end
do much good. The numbers however, that
compose that body, the passion for notoriety,
the love of public speaking, the neglect to con-
fine debates to the strict points under discus
sion, will prevent the transaction OF much
business there, neslng can be done without
the force of the previous question. The Loco
Focos too have seemingly organized them
selves as floating body TO go with whatever
current of the Wing party, that for the time
being, will end in difficulty, or inefficiency.
The Senate is the only body upon which the
country can rely. What is done there, will be
re.enacted almost as matter Of course in the
House. The Bank the Senate makes will be
the Bank Of the United States.
Washington, June 81.
Our political friends in the Senate, after some
consultation, it is understood, have agreed to
report Bill concerning Fiscal Agent. not
however. unanimously, particularly upon the
part that relates 10 the power TO establish
branches. The BIZ, as to be reported. claims
this power, though a considerable minority
voted against ii.
have some apprchen5ions, many indeed,
that Bill claiming the power cannot pass the
Senate, Mr.. Clay, however, thinks It can, and
insists upon having it in the Bill. He certain.
ly is the hest Judge, and as large majority of
the Whir Senators concur with him in opinion
it is but fair a trial should be made.
If, however. it should turn out that the mi.
nority of the Wings, the two Senators from
Virginia for example, will not vote for this
power. | have no idea that it will defeat the
Bill. The majority if necessary, must give
way upon a point so practically unimportant
To forego, as matter Of policy. the power 10
establish branches is not 10 disclaim that power
and when there can be no doubt, no rational
doubt at least among observing men, that
wherever a Bank wishes for a branch, State
Legislature will allow one, it is the height of
folly for practical Wings to wrangle upon an
abstr action when they can get the main thing.
This dispute about she power is the rock
upon which we are in danger of sailing Just
now, but have no doub. that in the end we will
get over il, or round it.
The general dissatisfaction expressed in
New York against Mr.. Ewing's project, has
not much weight here, but as it descends to
particulars. The cry about location of the
Mother Bank in Washington, has no sort Of
effect. Cor no act of establishing Bank, either
in Wall Street, or Chestnut st. could possibly
pass Congress. What then, are we TO have no
Bank at all ? Or does an equalized currency de-
pend upon the Mother Bank being in New
York or Philadelphia The reasons of capt
lalists against the restriction of dividends 10 6
per cent, have had proper weight. The rea-
sons also in reference to traffic in Foreign
Exchanges will have their weight. To better
this project, not TO denounce it, is the path OF
wisdom. Members Of Congress Of the Wing
Party will readily be taught, and much leach
