CONTROVERSY WITH N. YORK.

We noticed III the report Of the Legislative
proceedings of Wednesday, (Feb. IO,) the
introduction of report on this controversy,
by MIR. Bayly, the Chairman of the COM
mittee on the subject. We had not an OBJ
portunity to look at it before it was sent to the
Public Printer. The Enquirer, whose editor
had perused il, contains the following no.
tice of it :-Richmond Compiler.
"Mr. Bayly, on behalf of the Select Com
mit'oe. made yesterday to the House of Del
egates, long and digniied and able report
upon the questions which have, unfortunately,
grown up between Virginia and New York.
1t touches with great force the course of the
Governor of New York, and reviews in con-
ncction with it, the extraordinary law passed,
at the time our controversy was going on, eX-
tending the jury trial to our fugitive slaves,
and virtually denying us all opportunity of
recovering them. The analysis which the
report gives of this most unfortunate and I'M
constitutional law is excellent. The report
proposes to meet the necessity which n. y.
has thrown uponu by passing an inspection
law, by way of additional police. The OBJ
ject of the law is to prevent the citizens of n 4.
\ ork from carrying off our slaves in their YES
sells, since her authorities will neither give
us back the slaves when they are stolen, nor
deliver the felons who steal them. to public
Justice. What less can Virginia do no,c, if
she means to do any thing The remedy is
a moderate one, and it may prove Efficient
ii 1t should fail In its object, then we may
have recourse to stronger measures hereafter.
But we sincerely hope the justice and good
sense OF New ork may prevent the necessi-
ty OF orr adopting even this modified measure
of police. The Report is ordered to be print

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature when it ought to be think
ing OF adjourning, has just begun to breach
important subjects. Yesterday there were
three OF the most Important propositions moot
ed which have been introduced this session :
viz-the CAL of a State Convention to amend
the Constitution, and the adjustment of the
Internal improvement and Literary Funds .
This will surprise our good friends in tho
country--.particularly the propositions to do
away with the two Funds-so long regarded
as parts of the settled policy of Virginia, and
the Literary Fund particularly, so much our
pride and boast. And must poor old Virgin
la shorn already of SO much OF her greatness,
De deprived OF these anchors of her hopes /;
these pedestals upon which she might raise
Two ct the proudest and noblest columns in
tho Temple of National Fame We trust
not. When We look to what we have yet to
accomplish in ''internal Improvements -
when we see what an exhibition of popula ar
ignorance the late census makes, and feel how
much we are called upon to further the cause
OF "Educatlon," how Gun we think of taking
away the only support of these noblcst OBJ
Jects OF State concern !--RicH. CoMp.

THE PRESENT MONETARY CRISIS
a MEETING OF CITIZENS.

We learn that arrangements are in progress
with the object of ascertaining the public SEN
timent in relation to the existing condition OF
monetary affairs in Pennsylvania. 1t is pro-
bable thata public meeting of the citizens of
Philadelphia, without distinction of party.
will be held in the course of few DAYS. An
informal meeting of a few citizens, prominent
in political circles, and of both parties, was
held on Saturday evening. The Hon. Geo.
NJ. Dallas was called to the Chair, and JOSH
all Randall, Esq. was appointed Secretary
The whole subject was talked over, and a
proper spirit of forbearance was manifested.
The disposition among several gentlemen
who spoke, was to recommend the Bank of
the United States to go into liquidation. and
IN such an event, to urge upon the Legisla-
ture the wisdom and proprety of sanclioninr
the suspension of specie payments for a year
or eighteen months, and also to sanction the
issue of small notes for three years. We
learn that a committee of seven was appoint
ed 10 consider the whole subject, and snp-
gest such propositions to an adjourned meet
ing OF citizens as may seem best calculated to
afford general satisfaction, to assist the conf.
dence OF the community, and to restore the
shattered credit of Pennsylvania.

with other States in the growth OF her popu-
laiion, but that population exhibits mass
Of ignorance uneSuallcd in any of the other
States, and exhibiting most decided de-
clension in The general intelligence.
These are the facts, but what are the caus-
est There are probably many in operation,
but the leading and effective cause is bad
Government-the prevalence of Transcenden-
tallsm--tho existence OF a school of political
metaphysics which is forever refining, talk
ing. splitting hairs, thwarting, and Prrsiden,
making, but doing nothing to draw out the
magnificent resources of the State, or to edu-
cate her children, or to check, by induce
ments at home, the vast drain OF her People
by emigration.

THE BANK OF THE U. STATES.
From The United States Gazette.

This institution, we regret telsay, has a.
gain been reduced to tho painful alternative
OF suspending specie payments.
In the short space Of twenty days, since its
vaults were opened, we understand that the
bank has paid out nearly six millions of dol
lars in specie funds.
The daily increase of the demands upon its
vaults, from the eastward, rendered it inlpos-
sible for tho bank longer to resist the torrent.
1t has reluctantly yielded to the force of i'm
peHous circumstances. The great error, we
consider, arose from the Legislature requiring
the banks to resume before they were prepar-
cd Tor it; for how can tho banks pay the peo-
pie before the people pay the banks : When
the bank OF England suspended specie pay
ments 1t required twenty-five years to resume.
The immense resources of the Bank of the
United States, and the zeal and integrity of
It's Directors, are a sufficient pledge to the
Public that, in the shortest possible period
1T Will resume specie payments, and discharge
with good faith, all its obligations. Fobear-
ance and moderation are, therefore, alike en-
joined by justice and sound policy.
we annex the resolutions passed by the
Board OF Directors, at special meeting held
last evening
BANK OF THE U. IS. Feb. 4, 1911.
At a special meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Bank of the u. S. held at the
clearinghouse, the following preamble and
resolutions we're unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the Bank OF the United States,
IN compliance with its pledge 10 the Public,
has made fair and bona lide effort to resume
and maintain specie payments, having since
the 10Th oil January last, paid out an amount
little, II at all, short of six millions ofdollars
IN coin or specie funds; and, whereas, the eff
tort to maintain specie payments by this
bank has been rendered abortive by the intcn-
uonal accumulation and extraordinary en-
forcemont OF its instant liabilities therefore,
Resoired, That this bank is under the neces-
sity, for the present, of suspending specie
payments.
Resofred, That every exertion will be made
by the Directors to collect the debts and con-
vert into cash the assets of this bank, for tho
purpose of resuming payments in specie at
the earliest practicable moment.
Resoired, That the foregoing preamble and
resolutions be published.

SMALL NOTE BILL.

The Senate yesterday passed the bill from
the House, authorizing the banks to Issue
notes OF the denomination of 81 and S9-with
several amendments. LIST. Extending the
time, from LIST. August to LIST. January, with
IN which the notes may be issued. ed. Sus.
pending until LIST. Of January next, the section
OF the law OF 1887, which requires the banks
to have one dollar i'm specie for eyerv in
circulation; and 3D.. making it imperative up-
ON the Wheeling banks to desist from tho is
sue OF post notes-as condition to the ac-
ccptance OF tho privileges of the act.
MIR. Lyons moved to amend tho bill farth
er, so as to make the notes PAYABLE i'm specie
only at the place where issued. This motion
excited quite an animated debate, i'm which
Messrs. Lyons, Conrad, Anderson and Fon-
tame demonstrated most palpably the highly
beneficial effects, which would result from,
the proposed amendment. Their arguments
addressed to the reason and patriotism of the
Senate, were met by miserable slang from the
Senator from Isle of Wight, Mr.. ssSurplus
William, and his counterpart from Nottoway
who by the way is one of the most pleasant
orators oil the day-rarely failing to excite
the laughter of his audience-which is none
the worse for being, as it generally Is, at his
own expense.
The motion failed ayes I3 noes I4-fou,
Wings absent, and Mr.. McNfullen alone OF
the Federal party voting for it. 1t is yet in
the power of the House to make the desired
amendment-which is so manilestly demand.

wo VIII not despair of its adoption.

was pleased to see some remarks made
some time ago upon the indifference of New
England and the North to tariff, at least a
high protecting tariff, confirmed in so inteli-
gent quarter as MIR. CUSHING, of Mass, who
lately in debate, / sec, protests against the
idea which has got abroad. The importance
of having the public mind well-informed up
on the subject, induces me to say again, that
the great manufacturing interests the North,
perhaps fine woollens only excepted, are
quite content with things as they are--at
least more content than they would be with a
change that might endanger what is stable
now. The large manufactures, generally
speaking, and doing well. They arc greatly
extending their trade abroad as well as at
home. sound currency now, well-adiusted
domestic exchanges, is the best they can
have. Thus what, in l92S-'29'-'SO, leo
parded the integrity of the Union, is settled
by enterprise, industry, and energy, that have
with much success competed with the capital
and low wages of the old world, and the last
people now to cali for high protecting tariff
will be the people of n. England. Cor. Mn.

VIRGINIA..
The Baltimore American SAYS:

The Baltimore American says:
CHE CENSUS OF VIRGINIA.--The popu-
lailon OF Virginia, under the new census, has
been ascertained to be 1881 AL. OF these
1852 are whites, 4S,425 free coloured, and
Az 07 slaves. The total increase in the
whole State, for the last ten years, has been
but 20,039. There has been a decrease in
the slave population of 22,5I7. The Fede-
raj population of the State is ,0f2 $50. If,
therefore, the ratio of representation is fixed
as nigh as sixty thousand, Virginia will lose
four members of Congress. Her number of
representatives will be reduced 20 seventeen.
"The Boston Atlas, remarkng upon these
facts, says
"That in the whole State Of Virginia, with
territory the largest of any State in the I'm
ION, there should not have been so large an
increase by one third, during ten years, as
has taken place in the city of Boston, is a
striking proof that there must be radical de-
iect somewhere. While all around have been
rapidly increasing in wealth and population,

growth, unsurpassed in this respect by any
state, has hardly held its own. is not for

might, in 50 doing, trespass upon forbidden
grounds. IL is, however, a subject that car

statesmen OF Virginia, but ofthe entire South

MIR. RIvEs-THE PUBLIC LANDS

Mr.. Rives had only taken his seat in the
Senate day or two, before he as called up
on to record his vote on the Land Bill. The
day on which the vote was taken, he briefly
submitted his views in relation to this highly
interesting and important subject. 1t seems
that he agrees with neither of the great politi-
cal parties in Congress, as to the manner in
which the Public Lands should be disposed
of. Most of the friends of Gen. Harrison are
In iavor of distributing the proceeds amongst
all the States. Mr.. Rives objects to this plan.
He is also opposed to Senator Benton's Pros
Pective Prescription Bill, and to Mr.. Cal
houn's proposition to cede the Lands to the
several States in which they lie. In other
words, he advocatce the present land system,
and thinks that it ought not to be disturbed
under existing circumstances.-Char.. IL.
