THE observation-disclosures.

This Government is divided into three depart
ments, viz: the Executive the Legislative, and
the Judiciary Departments. The Executive
branch is as independent of the two Houses of
Congress, and of the Judiciary, as either of
these branches are of it, and Of each other.
The Executive branch consists of the Presi-
dent, and his Cabinet, and their bureaux and
subordinates. But the President is the head,
being the only one elected by the People, and
the others are chosen by him, and are removable
at his will. The Cabinet, unlike the ministry
of England, is supposed to conform to the views
Of the head of the Executive branch, and are
selected by him to carry out practically his
official views. This is clear from the fact
that, the President is alone responsible for all
their official acts. Tosuppose, therefore, as ru-
NOR does, any discrepancy of views or opinions
on fundamental subjects, or of administrative
policy, between the President and the members
of his Cabinet, is to suppose the inherent exls-
tence in the Executive government of the ele-
ments of its own weakness and destruction.
The necessary independence and force of the
Executive branch of the Government absolutely
requires that it should be a whole, a unit; for
unless the members of the Cabinet are sincere
and willing opponents of the Presidents delibe-
rate convictions, the absurd spectacle is pre-
scented of necessary power divided against it
self, neutralized by its own refractory members,
defeating its own objects, shom alike of its dig
nifty, its moral influence and an unembarrassed
exercise of legal authority.

Out of SIS 900 due from enc portion Of the coun-
rv to the other, SO 900 $4O00O00 were dse TO
his district Though opposed to the BILL in its present
FORM he would not say that he should vote against
il If they would propose such Bankrupt law as
that Of 1900 he would vote for IL with all his heart.
But for law like thepresen including the voluntary
principle, he could not vote.
Mr. T. spoke with great earnestness; and. when
the subject permitted eloquent. He was listened
to with great interest hy unusually large assemblage
of the committee.
THE SPEAKER took the Chair for few moments,
and Mr. p. g. GooDE, of Ohio, from the Committee
Enrolled Bills reported TO the House that that Com
mttee had examined the enrolled bill from the Senate
No L. for the repeal Of the sub Treasury, and had
found il correct The Speaker then signed the bill,
and it sent TO the President Of the u. s. for his
signature.
The CHAIRMAN again took his place, and the
Committee resumed
Mr. UNDERWOOD followed in explanation of
some amendments, which he intended to propose. If
they were not adopted, he should vote against the
bill.
At ten minutes before three the committee rose, and
the House adjourned. 49,. sf

sroying the debts of the creditor and deprving him
of his just remedy against those who would defraud
him of his due. Sound minded and thinking men
would not be swayed by the impulses of passion and
the strongest appeals Of eloquence to do great public
wrong. They would not vitality stab the Constitution
Of their country, which the safeguard as well Of
their own rights as those Of others.
Mr.. r. then went into constitutional argument
reading authorities to show what had been the re-
ceived accepation of the term bankrupt" at the time
the Constitution had been framed and COMMENDED
that subsequent change in its meaning would war
rant Interpretation inconsistent with the known
meaning of the words when they were inserted In the
instrument. He admitted that the British law from
which this meaning had been derived was narrow
law, and he might wish it bad been more LIBERAL but
this conferred no power on Congress TO change the
meaning Of the terms of that organic law by which
Congress itself as well the nation were bound
This was not question of implied, but of granted
powers The resort must be to the letter Of the Con-
stitution. A Bankrupt law had been intended as a
shield to creditors against the fraud and injustice o.
dishonest debtors but this bill converted the shield
into sword to be put into the hands of the debtor.
He considered such law one of the most tyran-
nical exercises Of power which the Imagination could
conceive. No precedent foi it was to be found since
the dark ages 1.-THE state Of the community required
relief let the relief come from the proper quarter
from the Legislatures of the States, from the mercy
and consideration Of the creditor, which was rarely
appealed to in vain by an honest debtor, who could
show clear and make fair surrender
Mr. F. opposed the law, not being uniform in iti
operation, and therefore not constitutional He ar
gued this point from the different liens created by the
laws Of different States, the property of debtors
Explanations We're passed as to the laws of Lonsi
ana with Mr.. MOORE and as to the laws of Con
| necticut with Mr.. TRUMBULL.
Mr.. FERRIS waived the question of expediency
partly for want of time to discuss it but chiefly on thu
ground that if a law was unconstitutional it neye
could be truly expedient. .a..
The Committee then rose and reported progress.
| On leave given, MIR. STOKELY, of Ohio, pre-
scented the petition Of DR.. Crawford, Robert BeVes
and la others ctizens of Jefferson county, Ohio,

WHRLwND.-A very heavy shower of rain visited
us Wednesday, and preceded, at about o'clock,
p M, by whirwind which passed through the city,
careering along the line of the canal and down the
Potomac. Its evolutions were brisk and powerful,
and its performances were gazed and wondered at,
though by no means applauded, by multitude of
half terrified spectators. 1t INDUCED itself in cap
sizing some of the boats in the canal-overturning
carts and demonstrating down fences, unroofng
sheds, and whrlng round and round in the air shin
giles, and panks, as though they were feathers. 1t
ripped off shingles with amazing rapidity, and un-
rooted one side of the market house, and committed
other similar trespasses and damages. The eddy of
the air was apparently narrow in its circumference,
most powerful near the earth, expanding its circle
it assembled. After frightening good many women
and children, and disturbing the retreat of several
loafers in the Market it pursued its down the
river, and was succeeded by immense fall of rain.
If it is just convenient should prefer its adopt
ing some other line of march next time.
Knowing ones say that the above described phe-
nomenon was water spout, and was seen hanging
from the Clouds stretching and contracting itself like
the proboscis Of an elephant Or to be poetical and
Byronic,- .... .~N-

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM FLORIDA.
CO-A-COO-CHEE'S WHOLE BAND IN
CLOSE OF THE FLORIDA WAR.

By the U. 8. steamer Gen. Taylor, Capt. Peck, ar
rived here yesterday, we have the gratifying inte-
gence from Florida that the war; for the ninety ninth
time, may now be considered as at an end Wild Cats
whole band men, women, children and negroes, l6O
in ALL have in at Tampa and 40 more Indians OF
another band we've on their way, and were expected
at Tampa in two days. A gentleman who came on
in the Gen Taylor says he does not think that another
rife will be fred by the enemy
When CO.. coo-chee's family came in, Col. Worth
told him he might 90 on shore from the schooner
where he was confined and see them He refused to
co. saying that though he was to see his fam-
Eolonel finally consented to let him 90 shore with
out his shackes, and after warm greeting with his
family he tlined with the Colonel and then returned

placed he told Col Worth that he had but request
more TO make and that was, to aoo him and his peo

solved itself into Committee Of the Whole Mr.. TIL
LiNGHAsr in the Chair and resumed the consideration
Of the .... ....r.
., BANKRUPT BILL. >.t.
Mr. FESSENDEN made an allie speech in defence
of the bill. He did not object bankrupt bill in
Guiding corporations but he wished that such pur-
pose might be effected by distinct BILL because he
satisfied that any amendments to the present bill at
this late period ofthe session must defeat the BILL He
went at large into the constitutional argument and
concluded by demonstrating the practical advantages
resulting not only to debtors but creditors, and all
classes, by the passage Of the law. ...t...
Mr. LINN addressed the committee in defence of
the principle of certain amendments which he intend
ed to propose at the proper time. a.-..
\ Mr. PENDLETON advocated the bill, and replied
to various objections which had been made to it. He
took the same ground with Mr. Fessenden that though
the bill might not meet his views in all its Details he
would nevertheless support il for the general amount
Of good which the country would derive fiom it.
Mr. TRUMBULL said he would not have spoken
upon the subject had he not been one of the com.
mttee that reported the BILL He was opposed to the
bill in its present condition Many of his objections
had been anticipated by those who had preceded him
n opposition to the bill From one of the objections
Of gentleman from New York, (Mr. Roosevelt, y
that the bill did not include corporationshe dissent
ed. The power of the States TO create banks (which
had been recently dened) had now been too long as
question. That power being then in the States-if,
when the States exercised it to-day the General Gov
eminent might (by such law suspend 1t tomorrow
the power was nugatory.
He occupied the hour with Remarkably clear, plain
and forcibe exposition Of the Bankrupt system. He
showed that the trainers of the Constitution must have
had in view the English Bankrupt law, then the only
one in existence. That law neither included corpo-
rations nor contained the voluntary principle. -
What would the sages of 1877 or 1889 have said to
a poiantary bankrupt What would Chief Justice
Ellsworth have said to such thingW This term,
/" voluntary bankrupt" had been much used lately
without definition. He himself had not understood
it at FIRST in its present implied sense Of fraudulent
bankrupt"
Mr.. r. went into full and effective exhibition OF
the practical economical and moral effects Of the law.
He insisted that though the power in the Constitution
might be indsputable, and though all existing con-
tracts might be considered as made in view Of that
power existing In the Constitution, yet became Con.
rress to consider the deeterous Of the
enactment now proposed.
He concluded with reference to the express wishes
and sentiments of his constituents this subject.
