Mr.. SHERMAN rep, Ohio said it was not his
to engage in debate, but to report bill from
he Committee Of Ways and Means.
Consent being given the bill was read. II author
zes the President to Issue Treasury notes for such
suns as the exigencies OF the public service require
rot exceeding Sl00C0,000, Of denominations not less
than slOC, to be redeemed at the expiration Of year
bearing interest not to exceed SIX per centum, ior the
payment and redemption Of which the faith Of the
United States il sOemnly pledged.
Tie bill authorizes the President to borrow from
tine to time money to redeem the same. The notes
are to be recei cd in payment Of all debts taxes, Nc
The operation OF the bill limited to the LIST of Jan
uary, R63.
Mr.. SHERMAN explained that the bill was to meet
the temporary demands Of the treasury, which was
not now able pay the salaries of members OF
Congress. Last week, the revenue fell short
a quarter Of a million. No increase OF the Treasury
debt ID PROF osed. -
Tie receipts for the current quarter have fallen
short eeyeri millions, and il Is probable that during
the remaining three-fourhs of the year there will be
a deficiency of ten TO fifteen millions. We nave been
three years living credit, and ought to pFeservethe
credit of tie Government by the means now proposes
or change tie revenue laws. This will not, according
10 aJIearanccs, be the last loan I'LL. It's provisions
are similar to tie act OF 1857.
Mr.. CRAWFORD Dem. Ga.) proposed several
amendments one Of which specifically pledges the pub
c lands for tie PAYMENT and redemption Of the debt.
lie Of opinion that there could be no agreement
between the North and the South 1t was therefore
tie duty the Southern members to ask their trlenGs
that the public lands be set apart for the payment OF
lie debt. They OF he South did not desire any Oh
retiring States % be oppressed with Their quota Oh tts
public debt 20 long any agent OF the Original StcS
held any Of the a.s ets.
Mr. GROW CEep., Pa opposed pledging the public
lands, ard maintained heretofore, III the language
