Marco, IL.
The currency committee ofihe Senate
made two reports yesterday. Mr. Farar
from the majority, reported a new biIl.-
1t is Of great length and contains, it il
said, numerous restrictions to curb these
swindlng institutions. Mr.. Vance, on
behalf Of the wings reported hack Nye's
Bill as it passed the House, with several
amendments.
In the Hsuse, Mr.. Jenkins reported q
Bill TO incorporate the Safety Bank Of
Franklin. AS il is new in many of its
provisions and restrictions and guards and
not very long, we shall endesver to pub.
Iish it. So much for tho Bank bills now
before the Legislature.
The Senate has passed the bill from
the House 10 create township GssesSOrs.--
II is to take effect in the spring of 1872
The House has been OcccPied in part
for the last two days, on Bill purporting
To be bill to paw the contractors and to
prosecute The Public Works. But the
amendment under discussion is any thing
eIse---it is bold project to sell the State
OuI-bag and baggage, 10 the rotten,
'swindling Blnks. Mr.. Barley met this
proposition on the threshold, and exposed
its i.IiquiOus features. In fact, were it
not for the Senate, our State would be
sold out by these BInkers, and ruin and
disgrace would follow. This amend.
ment to the bill pleads the cond-
tion of the rotten ba anks that surround US,
thus:
"In order to afford the banks Of this
State the same facilities in business which
are enjoyed by the banks Ofthe adjoining
States"
The Banks of Michigan have "eniOy-
ed facilities" have they not! BiddleS
Bank enjoys fdcilities-the Kentucky and
Indiana Banks enjoy the same glorious
FACILITIES! Are these Bankers mad,
that they propose such insulting measures
TO the LpgisIature3
The Deupcratic StSte Convention |
which met al Harrisburg on the 4'h, and |
re. nominated Governor Porter, declare
that their State difficulties were caused
by the re charter of the II. States Bank,
which threw the State on The mercy OF
hat institution in matters Of finance, and |
hence their total prOstration. 1t will be
10 every where--and the scheme is one
If utter madness, and should not be en-
ertained a moment. Il is time the pep
'Ie had taken up these subjects and exam
ned them, and Legislators taught that
hey cannot sell out the State as a
mere matter Of barter, to suit their Ogn
,upidity.

dredS Of labOrers on the public works
had been almost in a slaie Of starvation
all winter for their pay, and nothing YET
done or proposed tor their relief. The
Honse had prOfessed itself even too poor
to print documents of the grestest inpor
lance, that the people might see what
they were doing, and be apprised of the
condition of the State, and they could net
vote for such appropriations under such
circumstances--if they were not log-cab-
in politicians or hard cider drinkers, thew
found the present House very cOmforia-

for them yet while longer, and we're as

furniture so soon after their promotion 10

lazy whig establishment of this city, the

pointed out passages which they deelar-
