intended for the original bill reported time ago by
the House Committee but has undergone many kicks
and cuffs, and has been mutilaed since the day

limb cut or here and there, and several added
\ on, there Is not much Of the original left.
The first section OF the bill contained the swearing

for license, to take oath, before receiving license not
to receive or out or in aid in the circu
laton OF of less denomination than FIVE dollars
whether Issued by banks, corporations individuals.
On the day Of the passage Of the bill, ryder put
it, that this section shall 20 into operation until
the first day Of june 1855. If the bill has any merits
ALL the adoption Of this ryder virtual adjustment
Of the swearing section for by the LIST of june 1855,
suppose its friends certainly epee; to rid the State
shiuplastcrs II they have any confidence in its prom.

made for swearing people at remote day the Is,

Did they have misvinss about the virtues of their
newly invented shnplast,r pAnaeca-,hat it would be
come dead letter. like those preceding tor the
suspension Of the first section Tor the space OF three years
taken sene OF backing out from the enactment OF
the bill With that odious features
The neat pcisioa made into the bill vas to strike GU,
and insert place OF section providing tha, any per-

be issued after the passage OF this act Tha, section

Of home and foreign manufacture, and all that
in from other States. 1t is however, the
best feature the bill has.
With these material alterations in the BILL i, further
provides for imposing fine OF dollars on any one
passing shuplaSers-oue hair GO the inormer who
will sGeakiug about and be b-bcd watch his neishbo
for the half of the Cue thereby imposed upon him,
this for the qualification OF maice-also

The Senate yesterday passed the House bi!l-ayes o.
noes lj-whou amendment. 1t was put through under
gag laW-having bean previously determined upon by
the dominant party. Not the stringent anti
small note man Of that patty expects the bill to an
sSer the purpose The truth is the in very bad
way on this question and for form sake thought
to pass something This the best they could do sud
so they put though in hot haste that they may
tell their constituents when they go home they have
passed bill FOR the suppression Of shiuplaseTs We
shall see how it will work.

courage and honesty opposing the repeal of the Mis-

liant old Gcnerali in rcply-"but courage. Courage
would have been necessary to enable soia,s my
convictions of rsht-not to folior- them"
This very killing There is honesty lett in all the
South except with old whiskcy-wreck And Sam only
claims honesty lie is modest,
