your exchanges, and will no doubt publish.
BANKS
learn that nine banks have filed the necessa-
ry papers, and have now bills in process of being
engraved. The City Bank of Kenosha is among
the number. The Comptroller tells me that he
has employed three firms Of cngravers in New
York city, so as TO get the circulation ready as
rapidly as possible. A bill is now before the Le-
gislature providing that our legitimate bank paper
shall be taken in payment of taxes and all public
dues; and another to prevent the issue and circu-
lation of ilcgitimate paper. Some hard money
philosophers here want a bill enacted to prevent
the circulation of all bills of the banks of other
States. Probably such attempt will be made, but
| think without success. S.
MADISON, Jan. %, 1858.
You will have noticed in your exchanges, before
this, the unanimous confirmation as Bank Comp
trolcr, of James s. Baker This has resulted as
I supposed it would notwithstanding some of the
''ferce democracy" were disposed to cry "ofr with
his head" doubt not he will prove fully equal
to the duties Of the place. The Senate debated
to-day about two hours on resolutions introduced
by Mr.. BovCe inStructing our senators in Congress
to vote for the Free Homestead Bill, and finally
passed it with but one dissenting voice. Some of
the members were ardcntly anxious to smother it
but it was pressed to a final vote with tho result
stated
spoke in former letter Of railroad amend
ment proposition, before the Rail Road Commit
tee, and the interest and excitement it created
The committee this morning reports unanimously
against the proposed amendment This seems to
be considcreda triumph over Jenny Lind, who is
represented to be the especial patron of the pro-
posed amendment. Whetherthe House will sustain
the recommendation remains to be seen. The diff.
ferent interests struggling hard, each for sue
cess for although l cannot see the connection this
proposition is supposed to embrace several others,
the Fox River Road among the rest and should
the report of the committee be sustained, it is con-
sidercd to be somewhat fatal blow at that pro-
posed road. Probably as showing the exact
strength of the Lake Shore Road in the House
A resolution to-day in the House allowing the
Menomoncc Indians to retain possession of Ger
tain lands near the head waters of the Wolfe Riy-
er, occupied by them, gave rise to some clo-
quent and spicy debate. Their wrongs, prolific
subject of pathetic defamation, were dwelt upon
with great effect The House adjourned until
Monday, with the matter pending.
The cmigrant commissioner has made report,
two thousand of which were ordered printed. ]

Nothing of importance yet completed Among
the incidents | noted day or two since, petition
in circulation among the democratic members,
praying the appointment of McRcynolds, of De
trot, as Consul to Liverpool. This is the eloquent
patriot who addressed the citizens of KcnoSha in
favor of Cass in ls4S. The consulate Of Liver
pool is probably the best paying Office i'll the gift
of the Government, being even better than the
Presidency itself The endorsement of Mercy
nolds by Wisconsin may give him the place but
otherwise, think his chance may be slim.
