The BANK RESUMPTION QUESTION.
RICHMOND, March IA.
The bill concerning the banks was dis
cussed nearly the whole day Saturday.
The question was upon striking out the
lst of January. Mr.. Daniel opened the
debate against striking out, and IN reply
10 many of the arguments advanced by
Mr.. Holeman. lie had completed be-
fore we reached the House.
He was followed by MIR. Wallace Of
Petersburg. Mr.. w. advocated the pro-
priety Of striking out and fixing some ear
| lier day than the LIST OF January. He
was for putting the b ,nks beyond the hope
of rellef--to prevent any shaping oil their
course 50 as to Cause an outcry for the
| further extension Of the suspension by the
next Legislature. He would prevent an
extension of discounts and then a curtail.
ment for this purpose by the banks, by
requiring resumption before such an ap.
peal could be madc to the Legislature
He argued further, that if the crops only
were wanting to resumption they would
be available al a much earlier day than
the Is, Of January, and that therefore II
was no argument in favor Of that day.
Mr.. Taylor of Norfolk, then made a
long speech against striking out, in which
he combatted many Of The arguments OF
Mr.. Holleman, few indeed Of which we
have noticed.
Mr.Holleman succeeded, and made
serlatim reply to the arguments of the va
rious gentlemen who had commented up
on his first speech. Indeed his mob
views had run the gauntlet OF some five
or six speakers. He reiterated those
views, and defended them with much firm
ness, declaring that back mobs Showed
spirit Of resistance to opprt sslon that
sprung from the "most generous and in.
dependent feelings ofour nature'--which
he compared to the resistance TO tyranny
at several epochs--to tho William Tell,
the Jack Cade, for whose history he mis-
took Wat Tyler's and other rebellons.
He renewed the expression of his fears
that even in Virginia-where mobs were
so little known, and against which the
sentiment Of society was so decded--it
would be dangerous to exasperase the
public mind by the extension of Bank sus
pensions and the continuance OF the evils
Of vitiated currency.
After he concluded, the question
on striking out the LIST Of January was
decided 10 the sffirmaiive-7s to 40.
Mr.. Yelby then moved to fiji the
blank with the LIST of November, Mr..
Holl, man the LIST Of May; and Mr.. Har.
vie the LIST OF Aprl-al.er which, the
House adjourned-the members avaiing
themselves Of the Sabbath day TO rumi-
nate upon what i, is mes, pruden, now to
do.
RICHMOND, March l6.
THE LAND MONEY IN THE SENATE
AGAIN.
The Locos in the Senate, having sue.
ceeded in binding the question of recep.
ton by coupling it with other extraneous
matters, when the subject was first taken
up; the Wings determined to bring the
gentlemen to a direct vote. and say " No
neg" or "no Money" For this purpose,
Ma. Preston, on Saturday, introduced n
resolution, simply declaring that Virgi.
MAS quota of the Land money ough, 10
be received. The Speaker ruled the re-
solution out of order, on the ground that
the subject-mattcr had been before dis.
pos. d Of. An appeal was taken, which
was discussed throughout Saturday, and
was resumed yesterday, when tho decl-
sion was overruled-l5 TO Is. Mr..
Voolfolk then offered an amendment SIM
liar to that which was offered on IA former
occasion. This fell by a lie vote-l5 to
10. Various other amendments were
submitted, to embaIrass the resolution,
and TO cradle certain gentlemen, whose
constituents are in favor of receiving the
money, TO dodge the question-bu they
were all cut off by the previous ques-
ton. Then came the rub--.he nake'l re-
solution-money or no money-being the
question. The resolution was rejected
by a tie-ayes Is, nays l5-every Loco
Foco, including Mr.. Speaker, Mr.. New.
man and Mr.. Thompson, voting IN the
negafire. We annex the ayes and nays
that the country may see that the loss
Of the money is referable solely to Loco
focoism.
AYES -Messrs. Campbell, Thornton,
Cooke. Pcyton, Bonduran,, Conrad, Pres
ton, Tunsiall, Lyons, Carter. Faulkner,
Woodhouse, Fontaine, Mcllhaney and

The refusal to receive the Land Money
will impose the necessity upon the Legis-
lsture OF increasing the taxes largely, to
maintain the credit Of Commonwealth.

Banks to pay interest on the public debt,
