FRIDAY. Feb. IS. 1912


Among the interesting petitions pre-
scented on Monday, was one by Mr.. Stew
art, of Illinois, from citizens Of Chicago,
praying for an appropriation to complete
the harbor of that city. 1t states that
eight years ago the place was a wilder
ness it has now from to 5000 inhahi-
tants; its imports per annum., 81, $780,
600; exports, $500 !; a monthly aver
age Of $50 vessels enter and leave The har-
Dor. &c.
Mr.. Arnold, of Tenn, presented the
memorial of John NJ. Kennedy and 9TH
ers, of the city of Philadelphia, asking
that J. @. Adams may have one month to
prepare his defence against the accusa-
lions of Mr.. Marshall's. resolutions, and
that his defence be printed for the use of
the House.
THE CREOLE.
The Senators cannot keep this case out
of their minds. 1t was discussed again
on Wednesday, in connection with de-
bate on our relations with Mexico, design
ed, it is understood, to prepare the way
| for Mr.. Waddy Thompson's operations at
Mexico, in favor of the annexation of Tex
as, by reviving and exaggerattng our con-
troversy with Mexico. The Intelligent
Ger publishes second legal article from
Conway Robinson, Esq, of Richmond,
correcting an error of the first III regard
to the claim we have, under the laws of
England, for the surrender ofthe nineteen
hero mutineers,' 70 be tried for cri me.
His argument that no such claim exists
is conclusive.
The DISTRICT BANKS.
The House, on Tuesday, took up and
passed bill extending for one year the
time during which the banks of the Dis
trict are allowed to pay out the notes oil
non-specie- paying banks. Mr.. Under
wood made a short speech, saving, tine
people of the District owed the banks
about two millions the time in which
the banks were allowed 10 pay out to Vir-
ginia and Maryland paper would expire
on the first Of March, AID of course they
would no longer receive such paper, anc
the people would have to pay ia specie
He did not state that one great reason
,, why the Virginia and Maryland banks d.
not resume, and cannot resume, and new
er can resume, is that their capital is to g
very large extent invested in the domestic
: slave trade, and they cannot get it bacl
again. We want somebody on the foo
j. who will watch such things. The bill
o passed, 81 to Is. So, the crash of the ne
, gro-dealers is postponed little longer.
