HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,

FRIDAY sept >, 1911.
Mr.. MOORE asked leave to introduce a resolution
of inquiry relative the establishment of port Of en-
try the Red River.
Mr.. ]. G. FLOYD hoped that nothing would be
introduced to hinder a speedy action the of
McLeods resolution which was the unfinished BUSH
of the morning hour.
Mr.. BRIGGS introduced joint resolution grant
ing the frankng privilege to Mrs HARRIsoN rect of
the late President Harrison.
II amended on motion Of Mr. ADAMS by
striking out the limitation to packages of two ounces
weight and under; and, at the suggestion Of Mr.
CUSHING, the form was changed from resolution
to BILL to agree with the precedent established in the
case of Mrs Madison.
Mr. WARREN objected to any action on it this
session. being excluded by the rule adopted this
for the limitation of business subjects mention
ed in the Presidents Message
The SPEAKER overruled the objection. The
subject Of provision for the family Of the late Presi
dent icds mentioned in the Message Mr. BRIGGS
mentioned also that the House having rccered the
solution, the objection did not apply now. Mr..
CUSHING called Mr.. WARREN's attention to the
fact that the rule limited the action Of Committees only
not the action of the House.
The BILL as modified was read three times, and
passed Immediately without dissenting voice.
Mr.. JOHN G. FLOYD then resumed his remarks
on the Mcleod resolution, having been interrupted
yesterday by the expiration ofthe morning hour.
Mr.. EVERE L followed with short speech iust
flying the course Of the Secretary Of State.
Mr.. BOARDMAN moved 70 lay the resputon on
the table, -pending which, on motion Of Mr. YORKE,
the House adjourned, at ten minutes past IL o'clock

CONGRESS-.

The HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES had a ses-
sion Of only one hour yesterday, being entirely
without any Legislative business. They only
wait for the Senate to despatch their few re-
naming bills before them. The only measure
on which vote was taken is bill giving the
franking privilege to the widow of the late Pre-
sident Harrison, according to the precedent es-
tablished in the case of the widows of former
Chief Magistrates Of this nation.
The SENATE have passed that important mea-
sure, the bill to charter the FISCAL CORPORATION.
The vote on The engrossment was-27 yeas 10
90 nays. II will be remembered that il passed
the House on the. twenty third of August, by
majority of thirty one Fps yeas to ga nays.
The bill received no amendments in the Sc
nate. II is already enrolled, and will receive
the signature of the President of the Senate and
the Speaker tomorrow morning, and then will
be sent to the President for his final action.
The Senate also concurred in the House
amendments TO the Fortfcaton bill, and passed
the House bill giving the ranking privilege to
Mrs. Harrison.
The Revenue bill and the Diplomatic Appro-
prialion bill are the only measures of importance
on the table of the Senate. A speedy action is
expected on both of these bills,-the former
having already been under discussion several
days before the Fiscal Corporation was taken
up.
The Land bill sull remains in the hands Of
the President
No particular day is yet named for an adjourn
ment; but it may be safely guessed that another
week will conclude this eventful session.
Many members of the House have already
left having generally SPARED off, I" and thus
leaving the proportions Of the two parties the
same as in full House.

FOR THE MADISoNIAN,

THE VETO, &c.
The President Of the United States in the exercise
of power vested in him by the Constitution it seems
has aroused feeling of hostility to HIM in the ultras
of the Wing party which is far from that spirit of
compromise and concession necessary to sustain the
ascendancy of the party now in power. The envy
Of political perdy in the President, is sounded by
all the presses who sustain rather than mea-
sures, and all the clique who followed in the wake
of the most prominent leaders The Wing presses
generally Gay, almost universally Mr..
Ewing plan of Bank was brought forward ex-
pressed their entire appreciation of it measure of
compromise, and advised its adoption, but when Mr.
Clay from a committee to whom it was referred gave
the whole clan to understand that he wished Bank
established with without the of the States
presto, the whole fry changed their notes. and camor
ed for his scheme-and nothing else would do. The
oracle of Oakland speaks, and the faithful cry out
must be So and every man who opposes it is rene
gade from the great Wing family and therefore to be
hunted down
am one of those opposed to United States Bank
in any form, but was willing if one was established
not to fall out with the party with whom was acting
considered it less dangerous than the odous Sub
vore disposed to rail at those opposed to
it, and by their ndiscrcet conduct to let into power
men who have, under the garb of Democracy, brought
the country to the verge Of disgrace and iuin.
1t is the height of indscretion TO rail at our friends
and endanger the best management of our revenues.
The Journal of Commerce is right in saying New
York can do the whole fiscal business of the Union.
The commercial cities Boston, New York, Philadel-
pha, Baltimore, Charleston, and New Orleans, can
furnish solvent banks enough to enable the Treasury
to manage all our revenue matters. The currency
question is unfortunately mingled with party politics,
and has become a hobby, and Harry of the West is
the last to attempt to ride into office and carry his adr
hercnts without it, hope plan will be devised
to settle il, without resorng to banking, which has
done to demoralize country and destroy ou-
credit than any other curse with which we have been
visited. A SouTHRos.
