for record Of the proceedings on Saturday.
Mr.. Sergeant called up the Fiscal Bill and afte
some very unParliamentary talking, it was voted tc
take the bill out of the Committe, on Monday (th,
day.)
On motion of Mr.. Sergeant the House went into
committee, (Mr. Dawson of Georgia in the chair, }
and took up the
FISCAL CORPORATION.
The first question was to strike out all Of bill No.
ia, as reported to the House, and insert the amend.
pcnt, which made hybrid animal Of the whole
concern.
Mr. SERGEANT now proceeded to amend the
amendment, by inserting correct figures. He then
vent at length in favor of il.
Mr. WISE said you might fly kites and run
iorso races as well upon this course, as upon the
ourse at New Market. He said you could not oh.
ain discounts by name, it was true; but he asked
vhat the difference was, when he wanted discount,
etween his drawing bill upon a friend at New
orleans for S5 900 and selling it to the Bank and
lis friend drawing upon him here for s5,0OO when
e wanted discount, and selling it to the agent
ank a, New Orleans. HIS asked after reading the
,aper that he held in his hand, the veto, whether
my gentleman here believed that this fiscal mca.
ure would become law.
He said gentlemen had drawn deductions from
he veto message not justified by the language. He
aid the change of language of the bill would not
liter the bill. Neither could an agent be put in
state without the assent of State. He asked why
ne Suttreasury was repealed at the moment it was.
lie said gentlemen had overleaped themselves in
epealing it. They might, after the veto, have left
lin with the Subreasury unrepealed, TO be araign-
before the American people, and gone home. He
aid the House had passed the Bankrupt Bill as it
lad passed the Bank Bill, by dodging ii and had
nade minority bill Of it. He laughed at the idea
Throwing at John Tyler the bloody bones of pure
nd sword. He said he did no, believe that he ever
ad a sword bucklcd to him; and as for purse the
alton had none. He said, it had been said that
ycre the Cabinet! Tenants OF sufit,ance, and not
is Cabinet. He said the Cabinet wa. organized
nth seeds of its own destruction in it. 1t was an
Mon of the House of York and Lancaser-of the
white and red roses. He asked who it was that
cad lessons to tho friends of the President of the
United States par excellence A disappointed poll
cian, who failed to get the vote Of his own party
and who now net only determined to be the power
,ehnd the throne, but the power to stride the
hrone, King, and all, like a colossus. He did
lot acknowledge the Cabinet the majority here
sthe President Of the United States. He asked
'hen the President ever recommended Bank or
istrbu,ion Of public land to tax the people eight
,ons of dollars, and break the compromise act.
le said any man who endorsed the rumor that he
nd his friends were the Kitchen Cabinet, lied.
lie said if the President had Kitchen Cabinet
nth barber from Frederick >burg to preside over
t. another had a man Charles TO preside over his
abnct, and white Charleys, too, to do his bidding.
lie said the friends of the President par excellence
lad been compared TO corporars guard. He
,ould tell them that they might be- corporals
guard here, but he would point to the masses.
Tall oaks from little acorns grow,
Large streams from little fountains flow.
He said the Wing party, like every other monst,ous
rtus, was pretty much still born. 1t died before
he Inauguration:
Mr.. Wise's hour now ran out.
Mr.. Turney of Tennessee now moved to strike
cut the enactng clause of the bill
Mr.. Wise now claimed and succeeded in getting
the fo)r upon the new motion.
He now began upon Mr.. Clay, whom he scored
under the image OF Rumor. and showed his argu-
ments in relation to the alternatives in the most
true and lsughable light He said Rumor, tall
sandy haired, long noscd orator, wished the Presi
dent TO resign, and if the President had resigned,
Rumor would have considered him the most clever
fellow in the world. Rumot might then have got
his place. He said Rumor, without such resigna-
ton, would get but little there below, nor get that
little long"
Mr.. Marshall of Kentucky followed Mr.. Wise,
and after few words moved that the committee
Iise.
The committee then rose.
Mr.. Profit of Indiana offered resolution, declar-
ing that if Congress chartered a fiscal agent, it
should reserve the power to repeal the same when
ever it fit. Objected to.
The House, on motion of Mr.. Profit, adjourned
at half pas, p. IN.
The Reason why Judge Banks Don't Re-

those reasons we find the following:
"Judse Banks has not sought the nomination
which is made-it would, therefore, be wrong Il
ask him to resign a situation which Is useful and
