CONGRESS, Monday Feb. 6.-In the Sen
ate, Mr.. Archer moved the reconsider alton
ofthe vote by which the Oregon bill was
passed, and Mr.. Linn objected to the motion
as irregular.
After some conversation the motion was
laid over till tomorrow.
Mr. Tallmadge called up his exchquer
bill, and went into an elaborate argument
to show the necessity for the immediate ac-
ton of Congress on the currency question.
The further consideration of the bill was
postponed uutil tomorrow.
The Senate proceeded to the considera-
ton of the bill to prevent the carrying OF
mailable matter by private expresses TWAS

rad, Merrick, Choate, Miller, Walker and

the national treasures in the hands of
multitude of individuals. been arrested by

Co., similar scenes of public peculation

Union, and if possible upon larger scale

pimps and panderers who for years have
been permitted to live and fatten upon the
public spoils. And yet this odious subtreas.

of condemnation from the people in 1910,
is to be revived by the very first exercise of
locofoco legislation in the next congress-

under consideration, Mr. ST. Clair arose and
said, he had heard i, minated BY men IN
the Democratic party, that Judge Williams
would undoubtedly DO their choice Tor Gov-

reason, he hoped the convention would pro-

FRIDAY, February 8.
BANKRUPT LAW.

Mr. Berrien, from the Judiciary Com
miilee. reported The House bill repeating the
Bankrupt Law, with amendments essential
ly changing its character, intended 10 sus-
tain with notifications the existing law.
MIR Berrien said the bill was very long.
He stated. however, generally, the views Of
the committee.
The voluntary clause is repealed = q ma.
jority of creditors is rendered necessary TO
discharge-corporations not included.
The following are some Of the grounds on
which the committee thought the act should
not be repealed.
/ That overtrading would be prevented, as
well as unduc credit checked, by armlng
the creditor with the power Of forcing a
failing debtor 10 60 into liquidation before
wasting his assets. Again. that the benefit
of tho law had been extended to portion of
our sitizens. and a repeal would be denial
Of justice 10 others whose claims were no
less strong, and who might have been res
trainei by motives that should command
our respect.
That by the decision Of the question in
one of the courts OF STATE, her citizens had
been deprived ofihe privileges of Tho law,
while all the rest had enjoyed them.
Tha, The bankrupt law is The exercise Of
beneficept power, and one which The ex.
pcrience Of all commercial counties has
found necessary; the power TO enact which
is vested by the Constitution in Congress,
and canno, be exercised By the States.
That IL will prevent stay. laws, running
both creditor and debtor, impeding the COL
lection Of debts through The medium Of State
tribunals.
That such law will extend the project
ION OF Government TO a class of citizens who
though poor and unfortunate, should no, BIO

Mr. Benton submitted resolution calling
on the President for documents concerning

THE SUBTREASuRY.

Viewing the Subtreasury simply as
plan for the safekeeping of the public mon
les. nothing could have been devised so STU
pid and hazardous. Stripped Of all its par
aphranalia, it was nothing more or less
than permitting those who collected the
revenue to keep it ill called for, or ordering
them to deposit il in the hands Of multi
tude of receivers all over the Union ap-
pointed to keep it in a strong box to which
they held the key.
What individual who had ten thousand
dollars, would not deem it more safe in the
Bank of Mlddlebury or Vargennes than in
the hands Of any individual in the county
with ve.y few exceptionsl The hazard
of loss when entrusted TO well regulated
banks, under the checks which nine or ten
directors exercise over tho property and
each other, is vastly less Than in the hands
of single individual uncontrolled by any
will or conscience but his own, and reaping
the sole fruits of betrayal Of his trust
So Judged the founders Of The United
States Bank by which the public never lost
a dollar. So judged Gen. jackson when
he seized upon the deposites in the nation
al institution and placed them in pet banks
where they might have been comparative
ly safe had no party schemes been indulg-
ed in their selection. But when Martin Van
Buren, deemed it necessary. for perpetual
ting his tottering reign, to enlarge the
power of of patronage, and unite the purse
with the sword, he devised the subtreasury
scheme, which so far as the safety of rev.
enue is concerned is as wide from common
prudence as its protector was from common
honesty when he conceived it. Millions of
money are too great a temptation for men
of the highest reputed integrity, and far
more so for officers whose merits are too
apt to be determined by the value Of their
partisan services.
As far as we have had any experience Of
this short lived subtreasury scheme it has
wofully verified, what prophecy clearly
foretold as to the mischievous peculations
which woGld flow from it. 1t has proved
a project wonderfully fitted to demoralze
one portion of the people, and swindle an
other out of their hard earnings. The de.
falca;ions of Jesse Hovt, an account of
which may be seen in another column, who
was favorite subtreasurer under Mr..
Van Buren,, fairly illustrates the systematic
robbery and plumber to which the nation
would have been subjected had the SUBJ
treasury been fully developed. Hoyt cal
lected the money, & as he had right to do
either to Keep it in his own pocket, or de-
posite it in bank subject TO his own order
and not TO that of the government, as in for
mer times. He now proves a defaulter 10
to the amount of s226, ZOO, and it is not
probable that the government will ever be
able TO collect dollar of it from him or
his sureties. This sum added to the delal-
catious of Prics and Swar,woa;, amounts
