The House Of Representatives were engaged in de.
bate to-day which sprung the report Of the commit
tee of Ways and Means against the exchequer scheme
From the complexion it assumed in It's progress, we
suppose IL will be c0uiiHuand0 OF that which has been
going on for time past the bankrupt repeal bill,
which hns yet its first heat in the House. We
think the eychequer discussion IS put upon the course
as competitor of the bankrupt debate 10 run against
The time of Congress. There will be good deal OF
lockcvnp in this slow race and it is highly probable,
las of this kind the hndmosi come off winners,
that neither the stalking horse OF bankrupt repeal start
ed by the Wings to and dupe the people, nor the
Administration seed the exchequer, will get to the end
of the before the present Congress viii ran out
on the 18th Of March
1t is quite certain that there is not the sg h.cs.
pectaon that the Exchequer scheme WILL any form,
pass through the present Congress; and il IS very
doubtful whether majority notwithstanding oil '!.e
haste and ardor manifested by the 7 !sra! pary 10
retrace their steps rcgarl n o,nk upt ily}
really in great hurry, and much N earnest, a.
they seemed be when they .re,h ir;.in ,h"'r
constituents The repeal goes on much less rap dy NJ
this session, with ma ory of two TO one in It's iavDf
than did the enactment Of the measure, which rubbed
through by three four votes with the squirting of the
distribution bill upon lis back for rider. The Excehquer
10 which the track has been given to day-wl, in
all LIKELIHOOD be made the instrument of defeating the
bankrupt repeal if be the purpose Of the majority (as
think is) TO defeat that bill. Nothing, certainly,
could be better adapted 10 the purpose for # the feel

measures, there is enough in Mr. Flmores report to
furnish matter for debate during session long the
last. 1t brings up, we understand every scheme Of
finance that has puzzled the wits of this country,
from the simple independent Treasury, established by
the first law organizing the Treasury Department in
1885, under General Washington through all the forms
which The paper money system has taken, in banks,
State and National, until it has assumed that Of Co
yernmcnt Bank, with the Of an Excheqrer-the
Webster machine constructed on the model of that OF
Wapole.
Messrs. Fillmore, Wise, Granger, and Marshall, of
the different sections of Whgery discussed the topics
brought 10 view in the report of the committee Of Ways
BELL of South Carolina marked out the position taken
by the Democratic party and which it has resolved to
maintain in the midst of these conflicts. We refer TO
their remurks-especally Mr.. Turneys, who spoke at
some ength-that our friends and the public generally
may understand how little the Democracy are implicated
in or responsible for, the which now yex and
harrass the mind Of the nation.-Giobe, Jan D.
