]. 1. MITCHELL EDrToR - The House OF
Representatives were yesterday somewhat ag-
italed By the introduction Of a Bill providing
for the appropriation Of 100000 10 the pay
ment Of the Planters Bank Bonds, Mr.. Neil,
Democrat from Carroll introduced the Bill and
several Of the younger members (, let off,
Many viewsare entertained on the subject
Of the Bill and he result uncertain. The
great and alb orbing question is what is to be
done with the surplus in the Treasury?
TheP. Bonds-Internal Improvement, and
war, are all urged as paramount in claim upon
this fund. A proposition to place S250,OO0
or more at the disposal fthe Govlf to meet
the contingency Of a rupture with the North
finds many advocates and will. probably
carry.
Nothing cnn be lone until the disposal o.
the Surplus is Effected. II trammels all the
Committees and they will make no reports
until it is disposed Of some way.
