THE HOUSE.

After the usual preliminares, Mr. Pick
ems asked leave TO present certain peti
tions; but Mr.. Warren Of Georgia object
ed.
On motion of Mr.. Fillmore, the House
resolved itself into COMMITTEES of the
Whole, (ayes G6, noes co., Mr.. Gushing
Of Massachusetts in the chair, and took
up the new tariff bill. The question was
on the amendment Of Mr.. Lawrence OF
Pennsylvania to include tea and coffee in
the bill as luxuries. ,'2 2 lNa
Mr.. Lawrence, after few remarks,
which could not be heard distinctly, gave
way to Mr.. Fillmore to make an explain
alton.
Mr.. Atherton of New Hampshire now
commenced a reply TO Mr.. Fillmore's
speech. He criticised Mr. FIlmore's fig
ures with much skill, and said that Mr. T 4.
had very convenient arithmetic.
Mr. Atherton showed that the chairman
of the Committee Of Ways and Means had
taken different number of yearsto base
his estimates of receipts upon under the
eristing and proposed laws. He said the
chairman expressed hope that the ex-
penditures would be reduced dur
Il ing the next four years, but his
hope was a faint one. He had in the
same breath informed the House that a
vast amount Of private claims would be
made, many Of which Mr.. A. thought
would be fraudulent ones, and should be,
as heretofore, thrust ont Of Congress-
Mr.. A. said that if the land fund had not
been souandered, aud the expenditures
had been kept down TO the limit proposed
bV MI. Woodbury., there would have been
a surplus Of$l 100000 TO meet the out
standing Treasury notes.
Mr.. Rhett Of South Carolina now rose
tSDan explanation. He Denied that a man
on the floor could be found who would
vote for direct taxation. He believed
that the time TO vote for direct taxation
would be when The people required it.,
and he did not believe he should live to
that day. He considered Mr.. McKeon
as holding the same doctrine with himself,
andsit would be false to charge either of
them with desire to vote now for direct
taxation.
Mr.. Halstead of New Jersey now un-
dertook to show that the present Admin
istration were extravagant because the
last Administration had neglected the
public interests, and had left the public
works, Notifications, and other military
works TO rot. Mr. H said in the course
of his remarks that when he arose he die
not intend to makea speech.

should vote against the bill because

The BGnk money recOpered-A Bank pet
WnmGsked--A curious arrangement
A sample Of Bank morals.
Well, this is surely an age of wonders!
Even here in the west, we have our share
of the peculations and robberies with
which the banks, these regulators of the
glorious credit system, are enlivening and
enriching the history Of The land. Last
night brought us news of the recovery Of
nearly all the money, lately taken from
the branch at Jacksonville, and this too
in way decidedly more marvellous than
any thing connected with the Frederic
county bank robbery. Our worthy presi-
dent, Col. Mather, received an anony-
mousle letter, telling him where the mon
ey might be fOund--but we will commence
at the beginning.
Some years ago, young man from the
east, took up his residence here, in the
city of Springfield. The exuberance of
his sanctity brought him into notice among
the strict evangelicals of this place, and
recommended him 10 the especial favor Of
the sanity president Of the bank and
bis little clique. Mr.. Town was caressed
and dandled and feasted by,these persons
and put up as an example to the wild
western boys of The beauty Of Godliness,
and the moral excellence of mind fash
oned in Connecticut. He was, in all
respects, a man TO be patronized by the
managers Of the bank--a supple insinua-
ting young bypocrite, who could with
monkish grGuity abuse rowdgism and rad
icalism, and particularly locofocoism,
while swindling and plundering the pub
tic. These are nestimable qualities for
a bank officer; and accordingly, Mr..
Town, though a perfect stranger to all a.
bout Jacksonville, was transferred to the
branch bank of that place, to act rs conf
dental teller of that branch. His man
ner of living soon became expensive and
extravagant, and after the most improved
models of "hnanciering," he managed TO
spend three or four thousand dollars a
year on salary of six hundred! All this
was known to the managers, but strange
as it may seem, it only served togendear
him more 10 eur indulgent mother bank.
The recent resignation Of the cashier,
Mr.. Rockwell, made it necessary 10 sup,
ply his place, and Col. Mather and his
set determined 10 appoint Town. Who
ever knows these gentlemen must know
that the man who dares to tbwart them
in any favorite scheme, is marked, brand
ed and cut off from the hope of ofpecuniary
favors, and yet on this occasion a couple
Of the private directors were found tool-
hardy eaough to oppose their wishes, and
by uniting with the State directors they
defeated Town and elected gentleman
named Brothers. whose qualifications are
enly intelligence, honesty, and indepen-
dence! The flmness of the democratic
State directors thus defeated Towns cleo
ton. But this was defeat not to be borne

if the compromise act Of Mr. Whipple was
the same as the one presented by Mr.. Clay
