Lewis, The Chairman Of the Committee OIL FL
nance in the Senate, in reply 10 an inIerrnsatory
Of Mr. Webster. /, will be seen that The Com
mi,ee will recommend the warehousing system
and branch minis al Charleston and New York
These, in conjunction with the specie clauses Of
The Sub.,reasury TO go into operation on The Isl
January, will gradually prepare the way Tor The
safe and successful completion OF measure,
which is The only proper plan recognized by Inc
Constitution for the safe keeping OF the pubic
money. In lew words, Mr.. L. points out The
necessity and advantage Of The SublreAsury.-
Let the Tariff he reduced 10 revenue standard,
and The business OF The country will, with the al
iendant measures specified above, be conducted
ON sound and healthy basis All interests VIII
stand on The same footing, and we shall have no
more OF these sectional murmnrs, which threat
en- The safety OF The Union. We have confident
hopes thai The present Congress will carry out all
these important and mutually dependen, mea-
sures-and will win The APPRECIATION OF The whole
country by their wise and enlightened legislation !:
"Mr. Lewis said: am happy 10 have il in my
power 10 reply to The questions oil The distinguish
ed Senator from Massachusetts so far as The
Committee ON Finance have had The subject un-
der consideration. Icannot, however, say al what
lime the Sub.Tfeasury Bill will be reported back
10 the Senate. The Committee have determined
10 give precedence, in The action Of the Senate, TO
bill reported by the honorable Senator from New
York, (Mr. Dix Tor establishing warehouslns
system. I his bill has been urged on The Commit
lee by commercial men as a remedial measure,
in its tendency strongly calculated TO relieve any
pressure which might otherwise result from

clauses of lhe Sub. Treasury. In addition 10 The
Warehousing Bill, the Committee propose 10 pre-
c.d. the action on The Snb-TTeasury by bills 10
establish branch minis al Charleston and New
York-measures which have also been urged
from spectacle commercial sources as in their
tendency calculated TO facilitate The Introduction
Of specie payments into the Treasury. So far as
any or all of these measures are calculated 10 al
Law apprehension in the public mind they will re-
ceye The cordial support OF the Committee. Its

of public money have accumulated in depositt m

The aggregate circulation OF this cuuntry-su

We already begin 10 see the beneficial influence
Of the proposed relaxation Of the British reslrc-
live system both upon The comlolt OF the poor
classes of England, and npon The profits Of our
farmers. No one can doubt that The free admis-
sion of Indian coin into British ports will essen
tally benefit The Virginia corn-growers, and, al
the same time, I'LL The hungry mouths OF thou
sand. Of British paupers. In The last intelligence
we see The following item
"INDlAN CORN.-This article continues To
arrive in great quantities in the prncpa potts Of
This country. and is already becoming one OF
great consumption. In Liverpool wc have seye-
raj hour dealers and bakers, who put loflh Indian
corn. Indian four and bread made Of Indian
dour as the prominent article Of sale; and
amongst The higher classes oil society il is used
with English or american acur in making bread.

in London last week, there were distributed 10

most prolific variety, and the most suitable 10 cul-

On The 2s.h February, The Paris Journal DIES
Dehals, published the following prediction, which
will doubtless be verified. The notice, it is un-
deniabIe, will be given; and already The London
News speaks OF the very small importance 10 En-
gland oflhe Oregon Territory. The grand con-
clusion, "lhe peace Of the world, is yet 10 come,
and we feel sanguine Of such result:
"The convention Of 1927 will be dissolved BY
The United States; but instead OF war signal,
this measure will be The preamble of solution
which will satisfy the United Sla.s as complete

which will conserve what all nations should en-
deavpuy to maintain, because il is The first gift OF

We are requested 10 announce that Haskell
The "sr-al Magician and laushable Venriloquis,'
will visit Richmond in a few days. Not know
ing him, We cannot endorse his bill; but its face
is quite attractive.
