Bill.
Mn. EDlroR;-A very large amount OF busi
ness was done in the Senate before adjournment
today. The bill that occasioned the most diiier
epce of opinion, was one Tor incorporating the
Groveport Savings Institute. This was reported
back from the committee on the Judiciary, witt
an amendmen, engraIting the individual labilit,
clause. The chairman, Mr.. Harlan, is a Whig
although differing with most Of his party friend
on this question. Savings Institutes are no
strictly, believe, what their name Indicates
They do not correspond in their material features
with the Savings Banks Of England aud some 0
the older States. 1t is true that TO limited ex
tent they are used as places ol deposit, but only
as Banks are. The main business is to lend, and
make money.
Mr.. Harlan is lin favor of individual liability
because he looks OH these Banks, us places Of de-
posit for the savings OF the widow and orphan
Others who oppose it, look at the other feature.
They look on these institutions as being so many
banking institutions with limited powers, and on
the same principle oppose individual liability III
each. The LocofocoS support individual liability
to-day. as they opposed it yesterday. simply fol
the reason that it happens for the nonce to be Of
article Of their ever changing creed
Mr.. Eckley showed this beautifully, by refer
ence to the Lancaster Savings Institution, which
is without the liability clause and was pissed by
the exertions Of the democracy" Whitman
was forced to admit this inconsistency, and got of
by saying that he had sins Of his own to answer
for, without those Of DR. Olds.
The individual liability prevailed and was pu
into several other bills OF the same character.-
The Perry county Savings Institute will have the
same fate.
sec the Hon. II. c. Whitman in card in the
Gaz ette, makes the same suggestion, for the ben
eft of the creditors OF the Zanesville and Mays
vile Road, made by your correspondent two
weeks ago. The bill for the sale of the Road il
in statu quo, not having been printed.
The General Appropriation bill was postponed
once more to-day, at the instance Of Senate
Payne. It's the special order for Monday next.
The Wings are granting every dely asked.
Messrs. Bull & Given par mobile fratram. have
been speaking this afternoon on the Convention
bill which has been up all day The time OF hold
the election is the mooted point. The Represen
tatives mentioned take opposite sides. Mr., Bul
bellows Justify on speech.
The House pissed the bill at late hour, by {
vote of Sc to |, DR.. Fee of Brown county. The
motion of Mr.. Ball was carried "a to 30, and the
second Tuesday Of October was fixed tor the e
lection of delegates. The fourth Monday Of DC
tober is the day for the meeting of the Couven
vention, and vote will Of course not be taken oI
the adoption of the new Constitution until Oct
1851. That is all provided the Senate agree.
