This is about $4,000 more than the original
estimate for repairs according to the original
plan. The case has been fully and strongly
presented by Mr.. BELL, as will more fully appear
by reference to the documents accompanying
his report. The President, in his Message, said
to Congress, 81 beg leave to invite your partcu-
lar attention to the interests of this District"-
The whole matter, therefore, is at the discretion
of Congress, and as our only local Legislature,
we hope our local interests will not escape its
attention, nor be permitted 10 suffer longer by its
neglect

case, the present Congress will have more fully
met the wishes of the people than any Con
gress which has assembled for many years.
Ofthe able and patriotic head Of the Govern
ment and his Cabinet, much is expected, but
the country has, in the high reputation Of each
OF these gentlemen, the highest guaranty that no
obstacle will be allowed to prevent the full con-
summation of all It's wishes. We shall never
permit any honest difference of opinion upon
minor matters entertained among our friends TO
alarm u.s. 1t is the great distinguishing charac-
teristic of the members of the party now in pow
to nink for themselves, and not blindy and ig-
norantly to do the bidding of few constituted
leaders. Moreover, there are too many points
Of union, too many strong ligaments of princi-
pie holding US together, make the failure of any
single one destructive to our unity. This is no
time to despair Of the Republican what is the
same thing, of the permanence Of the princi-
pies of the present majority, SO far from it, all
ahead looks bright and promising.

THE CONDITION OF THE MAJORITY IN
AND OUT OF CONGRESS. sr. 4

Much alarm has been felt and expressed by
our political friends here and throughout the
country, that the present Congress would ad-
journ without bringing to maturity any or all Of
the great measures of relief which the country
so much needs and so peremptorily and earnest
ly demands. And we have been panied to see
the too great readiness which some portion of
the press, and many individuals also, have join
ed in the expression of distrust of the ability
and intention of our friends in Congress, and,
Of the Executive also, to meet the wants and
requirements of the country at the present ses-
~sion. ~.
IL not for a moment to be supposed that any
difference Of opinion among enlightened and
eminent men, upon matters of comparatively
small importance, will be permitted to stand in
the way Of the consummation Of measures upon
which the interests of the whole country and
the very existence Of powerful and patriotic
party depends. 8 IaGsrl
We believe that all such differences will be,
if they are not already, fully and satisfactorily
arranged, and that all the great measures now
before Congress will, in some satisfactory form,
become laws Of the land Should this be the

The question pending then was, Shall this bill
pass" and was about being taken, when
Mr.. HENDERSON rose. He did not intend to
make speech but rather an apology. He did not
vote on the amendment adopted YESTERDAY as he was
not present when the vote was taken had he been,
he should have voted against it, But he should vote
for the bill.

The following paragraph from Mr.. MLane's
Report while Secretary Of the Treasury, may
not be inappropriately quoted at this juncture;
Due respect for the rights and duties Of the States
and mild equal, and moderate exercise Of those
fded to the General Government, with ready defe-
renee to the will Of the people, believed to const
tute the soundest policy, and to furnish the best safe
guords. Report Of Mr.. M'Lans, Secretary Of the
Treasury Dec. 1881.
Without reasonable Difference and concession,
both and opinions the great objects Of
the Government cannot be attained and while il is
conceded that it would be improper TO push measures
for the protection of the labor or improvement Of the
country to an extreme oppressive degree, il must
also be admitted that it would not be less so altogether
to deny to the General Government the moderate ex-
ercse Of powers for those objects for which Il is be-
lieyed mainly to have been instituted.--B.
We are informed on good authority, that a
bill for the charter of a Fiscal Bank of the Uni
ted States, located in the District of Columbia,
containing the provision requiring the assent of
the States for the establishment of branches,
would have met General Jackson's appreciation
had il been presented to him in the year 1882.

The meeting of our citizens in favor Of "a Ma
tional Bank with power TO establish branches in
the several States and Territories, took place in
frpnt OF National Hall last evening. II was re-
spectacle in point of character and numbers
think, consisting, not less than four thousand
persons. Hon. john l.. LAWRENCE presided,
and the Vice Presidents and Secretaries were
Wings OF unexceptionable worth An excel
lent letter from Hon. GEO. PoINpExTER, de-
Ginning to attend for obvious reasons, was read
by g. M, Hillyer, Esq, and the resolutions
drawn up by committee, were read by VIII
LIAM SAMUEL JOHNSON, ESQ., They are mode
rate and well drawn, asserting the power Of
Congress to establish truly National Bank, the
advantages Of such Bank, and the judgment
of the meeting that it should not be rendered
"he puppet Of dreams, theory and visionary
abstraction.o These resolutions being adopted
Hon. DUDLEY SELDEN and SAMUEL STARK
WEATHER, Esq. successfully addressed the meet
iug-the former ably, the latter vehemently.--
Mr.. Selden warmly eulogized Mr. CLAY, to
which the people heartily responded
some comparison not favorable to other distin-
guished statesmen, and contended that an g old
fashioned Bank" was the true panacea for the
evils under which the country suffers-that the
people expected and desired such one, &c. &c.
and that the Supreme Court had decided such a
Bank constitutional and could not now reverse
that decision, but might quash different Bank
But from the beginning to The end of his dis
course did not hear word to the point-that
is showing that the restriction of the proposed
Bank to the purchase and sale of Exchange,
instead of the discounting Of local paper, would
be fatal to its stability or usefulness. In fact,
Mr.. Ewing's plan was misunderstood or misre-
presented throughout. f
conversed with dozens there collected, and
full three-fourhs Of them thought the call of the
meeting illjudged and its assemblage unneces.
sary A very large proportion were quite con-
tent with modified Bank bill, and satisfied
with the prospect afforded by the present aspect
OF the question in Congress- In fact should
have been quite willing to stand a poll On the
question of Modification or no Modification and
had hopes Of a judicious result But no oppo
sition was made to the appointed order of things
mot even when two or three hundred Loco
Focos (probably) undertook to hiss DANIEL

There is nothing else of interest here. The
weather is cooler. Stocks stagnant. Cotton SO
so. Ashes looking up. Flour is also threaten
ing an advance, and choice brands of Genesee
have brought 1862 again. 4s

FIeVlouS 70 the vote on the amendment, the
Senate was addressed by Mr.. Morehead, at
considerable length, and however we may differ
about the constitutionality Of a Bank, none can
deny that Mr.. Morehead presented the argu-
ments and authorities in its favor in the strong
est point of view Mr.. Morehead is the success
sor of Mr.. Crittenden in the Senate, and a most
capable one, as he has already shown. Ken
lucky seems to be the foster place of orators
There is Clay, and Crittenden, and Morehead,
and Marshall, and others, forming galaxy such
as has seldom been seen from one State since
the palmiest days Of old Virginia As Mr.
Tallmadge justly said, the other day, in alluson
to MIR. Morehead and his predecessor,
Like the waves of a summer, as one dies away
Another as pleasing and shining comes on"
Mr.. Morehead stands among the "tallesto of
the Kentucky orators in every point of view
Ills speech on Tuesday, which was listened
to with undivided attention, by the whole Sc
nate, and by very crowded auditory, was
marked by nervous eloquence-bya an occasion
al vein of satire, and by frequent passages of
rhetorical beauty.
Mr Clay, OF KY, very frankly stated that the
bill as it stood could not pass the Senate, and
after consultation with his friends, had matured
an amendment which he would offer as ground
OF compromise, in the hope of securing the sup
port OF majority of the Senate. After the
proposition was submitted,
Mr.. Rives Immediately stated that the amend
ment did not meet his views, and that he could
not support it, His proposition was simple and
plain, requiring the assent of the States as a
condition precedent to the establishment OF
branches This amendment mystifed the pro-
position, without conceding it. While the first
clause proposed the assent Of the States, the pro-
visos utterly obiterated the principle, and assert
ed power in Congress which he denied He
therefore regarded it as no concession of the
principle claimed in the project of the Secretary
of the Treasury. Mr.. Riyes enforced his views
with his accustomed ability, and at considerable
length. u" ". '."."
Mr.. Preston zealously supported the amend
ment, and Messrs. Calhoun, Walker, and Blu
:hanan opposed it. Mr.. Clay briefly replied.
Yesterday, the debate was continued by sew
eral gentlemen, and, after motion topostpone
the bill indefinitely was discussed and rejected,
the bill was passed, by majority of 8 Yeas
26, nays 90. One Senator on each side absent.
\ The announcement of the passage Of the bill
was very audbly applauded in the lob6es and
galleries. .. ..

Of Kentucky, this bill was on Tuesday ordered
to be engrossed for third reading, BY vote Of

case to the Court. The amendment was clear and
total surrender of the consttutionalty of this char
ter He renewed the motion of yesterday to post

Mr. DIXON would give the reasons why he voted
yesterday for the amendment. If the Senator from
Missouri correct he had done in supporting this
amendment what he refused to do a few days since,
with reference to the amendment of the Senator from
Virginia, (Mr. Riyes,) for which he would not vote
as he considered that surrendering the power OF
Congress to establish branches without the assent
of the States. This he did not conceive was surren-
dered in the amendment adopted yesterday. He
briefly supported the amendment in constitutional
point Of view, contending that II maintained the
power of the General Government, and vet recog-
nised the rights Of the States. a gb =
Mr.. WHITE said he would briefly state his rea-
sons why he had given his vote for the amendment
adopted yesterday. On this question he desired to
act on the power Of Congress and the Federal Gov
ernment alone Had the amendment of the Senator
from Virginia been adopted the existence of the in
sttution would have been dependent on the will of
the States and on this ground he could in no way
have voted for the amendment But this amendment
obyiated this difficulty, not surrendering any power Of
the General Government, and yet leaving the States
to decide for themselves to admitance Of branches
He desired not only TO maintain his consistency
but having his proportion Of power to establish this
institution, to maintain it against those arguments
which were now suppressed, but might hereafter be
urged. ~.
Mr.. WOODBURY. was In favor Of the motion Of
the Senator from Missouri, (Mr Benton0 to postpone
the bill indefinitely. He opposed the amendment,
contendng that II was disrespectul to the Sovereign
States they asked the consent Of the States, re-
quring their positive answer, and II that was dis
sent, they were to turn round, and in the teeth of
this, establish the branch il thought necessary by
Congress.
The question was then taken on the motion for in
definite postponement, and negatived, as follows: !
