Mr.. EVANS said II was mot a matter that was uii-
der his control; he was but the organ OF the eem-
mee, and he could neither medlty nor withdraw
II. But the Senator from South Carolina sad II
would be the discussion of the session. and he asked
why not postpone II until they had ampler time
Now he (Mr Evans) was unfortunate yesterday ii
he had not made himself understood he thought
he did demonstrate that the wants Of the coun-
try would require not only the Elk millions and
hall OF the uniaken loan, but this S., COO,OOO also
But The Senator said wait until they saw certain re-
suits. Why, il they passed this bill as it came to
them, it would repeal 10 certain extent the loan
BILL and by the end OF the second quarter all their
means would be exhausted, and then they should
have new Treasury note bill, for 1t would be too
late to bring in revenue BILL as the pressure would
se pressing, and they must meet il in "a hours, and
then gentlemen would say why do you not give US
nolice.we are not prepared at such short no
tice. He had endeavered to show the, benefit
OF thus acting In advance, and he had shown
amongst Its other advantages. that It would en-

He admitted there was a slight depreciation OF
Treasury Notes, but il Yves all that was left to them

did they not issue treasury notes at twenty per cent
below par, to pay the contractors Ii certainly was
very unfortunate, but when they had nothing
else left, they must either pay In that or not at
all. His objection TO retaining this pr0vi-
SO was that il was Gripping the Treasury De-
parlment unnecessarily If they during the year
should waat SO much why not allow the Secretary
Of the Treasury to avail himself of this resource be-
fore they were driven to the last moment And if
gentlemen desired to discuss this whole subject they
could do it when Congress undertook TO lay new Gu-
ties and in the act of doing that they could repeal
the loan bill, or at any other time. They would un
doubtedy have ample opportunity before the session
was over to discuss this subjecto their hearts con-
tent, but he hoped they would now, aid ms sustain
ing the reputation of the country. There was no
expectation that any thing would be gained from

duced into the other House, and when il came up
there gentlemen could move 10 repeal II The Sc
nator from New Hampshire (Mr. Woodbury. had
said that the Secretary did not ask for more but in
his annual report at the commencement Of the SEES
sion he did ask for more-he asked for this five mil
lions dollars in addition TO the residue the loan
But what was this bat simple admontion that it
might be early granted. He trusted the bill would
be allowed pa s., and that Senators would be con-
tent to vest this power with he Treasury Depart
ment IN view of the present wants; and if, during
the session, II was found there was 40 necessity for
the loan II would not be contracted
MIR. CALHOUN repeated that he objected TO vote
for this addlIonsl loan Of S. O0OO00 because, with
the inceme from the pubic land, there was amply
sufficient to carry on the government But the Sc
nater from Maine answered hun that their means
were not sufficient and here they were at isu-,

most important questions OF this session, and yet the
Senator asked him 10 waive his views; but he should
do nothing OF the sort, and he should throw the re-
