A bill for establishing new banking system
-, a snec,e basis was ordered to be enRrossed
for a third reading, II u understood that this
il q Southern Illinois project, and that it will be
mainly supported By the members from that
end Of the S,a.a. The bill provides for three
banks. one ip Cairo, one in Springfield, and one
in Chicsgo, With & capital Of Is 900 ench'
and with power to issue no.es 10 three times the
amount Of their specie paid up. The bystem If

The two Southern bsnks will 90 into operation
without delay. They aay thst parties in Ken

ment to take q million Of stock. Tour corres-
pondent suspects that tbs prcjeot is gross vio-
l4tion of the Constitution and thst by the side
of the system now IN vogue, the charter would
b. vs!ueless.
HI. F. H Benson's bill for the incorporation
Of The Rose Hill Cemetery Company was passed
without negative vote. The bill huthor5zes
the opening Of Cemetery on the high land
now known II Chittendeu, few miles north
west Of Chicago, where the finest grounds With
in eaBy distance of the city may be obtained.
The charter il exceedingly liberal in its provis-
ions, conferring ample police and other power
upon the officers Of the Company for the pro"
lection Of their property. Mr. Benson, who Is
here. will commence operations at once.
Two other Chicago bills we're passed yester-
dsy-uue for the incorporation Of the "Chicsgo
Homo for the Ffiendleas," and the other incor-
porssinx " Sloan's Commercial College,"
The House this morning did little but Wran-

the State, rice James Miller, elected By the peo-
pie, Was laid on the table By d decided vote,
where it will sleep. In the progress Of this al
fair Church, OF NcHenr5, aud Davis, Of Mont
gomery, had sharp war Of words which ended,
however, without bloodshed or bitter feeling.
Tais was succeeded By q tilt between two Re-
pphlicans, Peck Of Cook, aud Haines Of Lske,
s.L rf 4hAfr fria and
very pointed language Was INDUCED in.
Twelse years ago, the Legislature appointed
threa Commissioners to ~iud mp the ad4irs of
the old Stste Bank Of Illinois One Of these,
the now notorious John (Candlebox) Calhoun,
hss tor nearly I've years been resident OF KAN
sas, in the meantime drawing his annual salary.
The other Commissioners. N. 4 RidgelY and
Uri Manly. have. with the aid of clerk and
formerly a tres -urer, had the tHair Ia their
hands; bat up to this date, have never made
report Of their doings or progress. It is known
that large asse:s hare been in their hands; bat
how they have been appropriated does not ap-
pear. Mack, Of kankakee, jealous Republi-
can, has had his curiosity in relation TO this
matter 80 much excited that he to-day moved in
Investigation tor the purpose Of overhauling the
heap. The motion WAS agreed to, and Mack was
put at the head of the committee, with DIETRICH,
Of Randolph, nnd Campbell, Of Logan. as ssso-
GATES; and now the investigation will 90 OF.
Without hintipg that the trust has not been well
snd faithfully managed, may say that j. is time
that knowledge Of the condition Of the bank was
msde public,
Hr. Bu'z's bill for the organization Of Board
Q: Commissioners in Chicago, with Superin-
teodent and Deputy Superintendent in that city,
aud Deputy in each Of the cities Of Quincy
aad Cairo, passed the House this afternoon.
Toe Commissioners named in the bill are Mich
asl Tlernan, Henry Greenebaum m and Or. Ernst
Schmidt, the latter the President of the German
Aid Society They have no salary OF fec. The
Superintendent III allowed $1,000; the 1ures
Deputies 5000 each. OF course, the Democracy
could not permit the opportunity to 80 by With
out an attempt to nuke political capital out OF
this matter. The Commissioners named by Mr..
Basz, in the original bill, suspected Of Republi-
cansm, were thro wn overheard without confirm
alton, and three partisaus elected inBte I'd. The
bill now goes to the Senate where it's fate is un~
certain. not by reason Of the ndisposltion Of the
Republicans and 3 lew Democrats TO pass it, but
b=csuse OF lack Of time to get it through.
Whatever its late, hr. Butz certainly deserves
great praise foa his earnestness and zeal. and
getting II through the body to which 1t belongs.
