Coegrfss, early in the session, calledrp
on the Secretary Of the Treasury for the
plan Of Fiscal Agent: the result OF this
call was bill which was reported 10 de
tail, with an argumen, ia lis favor, and II
was, as we had right TO regard It, FecetV

lnci. il was known to contain provisions, IN
reiclence to the assent Of the Statcs, which

member of the Cabinet. This bill The
President had even ia!ormrd more than one

whIch the President aifirms amounted tC
upwards Of one hundred millions Of dollars.
