STATE BANK CT lLLINoIs.-The Alton Tel
egraph of Saturday last says:
1--WE believe that oul State Bank is, at
this moment. in a sounder condition than she
was a twelve months since when her paper
constituted the principle part Of the curren-
cy Of both Missouri and Illinois; and being
persuaded hat she will ultimstely be able TO
redeem all her issues, without any loss to the
holder, we would respectfully advise the hol-
ders of the bills, not to sacrifice them, or
part with them at a large discount, unless
compelled by some urgent necessity"
The State Register Of Friday last remarks:
"We learn that the Board of Directors in
tend to abandon all attempts to supply st.
Louis with exchange, and confine her opera
t;ons at home. In view of this policy our
merchants here continue to take the paper
at mar. The note holders out Of the State
can now convert their notes into flour, pork,
and other property Of our citizens at par,

SENATE. Feb. 16.

Mr.. WALKER submitted a resolution cal
ling on the President of the Uuniled States

mend the bankrupt act as follows:
1. To c%onfine the operations of the act to
the trading and mercantile parts Of the COM
munity.
2. To c~onfne voluntary bankruptcy to a
declaration of insolvency, leaving it to the
creditors to proceed upon that declaration, or
not, just as they pleased; and, in the event
of their proceeding upon it, then all the SUBJ
sequent proceedings to be precisely as in ca
ses Of compulsory bankruptcy.
8. Banks, and all money dealing and ira
ding corporations, to be subject to the act,
and a day fixed for it to take effect upon
them.
4. The assignees of the ~bankrupt's estate

Iation TO the management and disposition oil

assignees.
S. Each creditor to have the right OF at
tending the examination Of the bankrupt,
and Of putting all in~terrogatorIes which may
tend TO elucidate the nature and character
of the bankruptcy, and the management and
disposition of his property, and the present
condition of his estate.
6. Persons suspected on probable reasons
to have goods, property, or effects OF the
bankrupt in possession, or TO be indebted TO
him. to be examined before the commission
ers.
7. The distinction between innocent and

arising from casual losses in trade; the latter
TO include all cases in which the bankrupt
has lost above the sum OF dollars IN
wagering, betting, stockjobbing, or purchase
of lottery tickets within years; or
in which he has lived e~xtravagantly and no.
t~oriously bevond his means, or engaged IN

To the Honorable the

WASHINGTON, SENATE CHAMBER,
February l6, 1912.
When | last had the honor of an appoint.
ment as one OF the United States Senators
from Kentucky. | minated, in my letter Of
acceptance. the probability o. my not serv-
ing out The whole term of six years. In
consequence of there having been two ex-
ira SESSIONS of Congress. ! have already at
tended. since that appoIn mcnt. as many
sessions Of Congress. as ordinarily happen
during Il Senatorial term. without estimating
my services at the present session.
| have for several years desired to retire
into private life, but have been hitherto pre-
vented from executing my wish by consider
atoms of public duty. ] should have resigned
my seat in the Senate, at the commencement
sons, one Of which was that The General
Assembly did not meet until near n month
after Congress, during which time the State
would not have been fully represented, or
my successor would have had only the un-
certain title of an executive appointment.
The time has now arrived when. ! think.
that, without any just reproach, | may quit
the public service. and bestow some atten-
ton on my private affairs which have suffer
ed much by the occupation of the largest
part of my life in the public councils. If the
Roman veteran had title 10 discharge after
thirty years service, !, who have served a
much longer penod, may justly claim mine.
] beg leave, therefore, TO tender 10 the
General Assembly, and do now hereby ten
der, my resignation of the office which ]
hold Of Senator, in the Senate of the United
States, from the State of Kentucky, to take
effect on the 3lst day Of March, 1912; and
| request that the General Assembly will ap-
point my successor TO take his seat on that
day, ! have fixed that day to allow me in OPP
portunity Of assisting in the completion Of
some measures which have been originated
by me.
| embrace this occasion 10 offer TO the
General Assembly my most profound and
grateful acknowledgment for the numerous
and distinguished proofs, by which have
been honored, Of its warm attachment and
generous confidence during a long series Of
years.

WssaircroS Saturday, j4u. ,.
In the SENATE, to-day "a sreh. number of pet
ton. were presen,cd-some Of them demonstrating
against, and others praying for, repeal Of the
Bankrupt Law.
Mr. WALKER called the attention Of the Senate
to the necessity of speedy action upon the bill from
the House to repeal the act the day on which
il was TO go into operation was fast approaching
and for that purpose, he suggested that TIE sub
ject be taken up d. early as Monday next.
Mr. STURGEON presented the resolutions Of The
Legislature of Pennsy yania asking that Ia" may
be passed al early day 70 appor,ion Members Of
Congress among the States, according To TIC last
census.
Mr.. SEVER introduced revolution, which was
adopted, instructing the Committee on the Judi
cary 10 inquire into the expedicncy of authorizing
such persons as were citizens Of the United States,
but who found themselves included within the Inn
its of Texas since the ruaning Of the Boundary line
TO return to this country with their slaves which
they cannot now DO in consequence of certain
existing law.
Mr.. BAYAED, from the Committee on the Dis
trct OF Columbia, reported a bill to incorporate
the Washington Manual Labor School and Orphan

tituten, and bill providing for the erection of an

TIE Treasury Note bill was taken up Tor con
sideration, the question being on its passage
Mr. CALHous addressed the Senate for nearly
two hours, contending that with proper economy
and retreachnent the ex pendi,ures OF the Govern
men, could be brought dowa 20, at leest tie
of the Treasury Notes authorized to be issued BY
this bill and pointing cut the mode in which
such a reduction could be effected
Mr.. Ev4ss replied, and demonstrated that tho
five millions of Treasury Notes, in addition to the
portion of the authorized loan not get negotiated
would no- be sufficient TO pay the liabilities of the
Government for the current year; a part Of which
was 5equeathed BY the last Administration to the
present.
The question was taken On the passage Of the
bill, and it was decided in the affrmative-Yea
