forced until January 1, 1865.
Mr. Kirkland was opposed to the amen dment
He thought the government would sooa furnish
all the currency of this kind needed, and be could
not favor the issue of fractional bills by the backs
Mr. Stafford said that he should be oppos ed to

could supply the demand for this currency. But
he had the best authority for saying that the
United States government could not seasonaby
meet the public demand
Mr.. Clark OF Bennington, ead he agreed with
Mr.. Kirkland. He was opposed to aa issue of
shinpasters by the banks. lie had had in former
Years some experience 10 this kind of currency,
and he knew something Of the danger from allow
Jog an unlimited issue OF fractional bile; and he
anticipated that in very short time the govern.
ment would lurn;sh Ill this kind Of currency
needed.
Mr.. Farrar hoped tie amendment would pre-
vail. lie thought it banks were good for their
present issue of biRs, they would be able to re-
deem any circulate n ct sintii bills Which they
might be authorized to ssae. And there was so
much need of some reliable currency to take the
place OF the change, that had dsappeare1 from
circulation, that he hoped the banks might be en-
eourased to furnish sound circulating medium
