Tie proposition to allow banks
10 issue fractional bis, has been discussed at diff
ferent times during the past two weeks by the
House, and it was once decided that bill making
provision for such issue should not pass. Yes
terday afternoon, however, The chapter Of reyis-
ion relating to banking, came up for consideration
and among other amendments proposed, was one
allowing the banks to issue fractional bills. Sew
eral members Questioned whether such a PROPOSE
tion was in order, the natter having once been
decided by the House. Speaker Smith had placed
Ar. Gardner in the chair, and Mr. Gardner deeii-
ed that the amendment was in order M Smith
Of ST. Al ans, (spaaker) then took the nJ1r, and
made somewhat lengthy argument in favor Of
the amendment. Hc stated il.t .t1is must issue
fracii nal bnls, OF The bills row circulated by
unauthorized parties must continue q, J5 circu-
lated. and their number would be greatly in
creased. Applications bad been made g. the ap-
propriate department Of the General Government,
for supply # the postal currency, 20 relieve The
imperative necessities of the Vermont Central and
other railroads; but ro supply Lad Jsea obtained.
aud it was evident that tlsy could not obtain a
supply. The Amendment was adopted AMI the
chapter passed the House. Whether the Senate
will concar in tie amendment Is doubtful. There
will be an investigation by scne Of the Senators
into the facts stated BY Speaker smith, before
they approve Of the proposition 70 atthor.s The
hanks 20 issue fractional bius. The ground for
merly taken in the House, that's proposition Of
this kind was in direct Vi atoa Of an act of Con
grsss in reference to currcl-- seems TO have been
lost sight of; orperhars the statements and argu-
ments in opposition TO this view, have convinced
members that il is uusosud
The vote on the bill providing TO pay Judge
Bennett and others io7 labor in revising the Gen
eral Statutes, was 1eeonsidereI this morning, and
the vots adopting the amerdmsuts, was also re-
considered. Tie bill was thea again amended so
as to read, eighteen hundred in place Of three
thousand liars, ard again passed.

I, seems to have been a very extensive neishJor-

Committee were 60 telab1red in regard TO the
matter taat after an immense an cunt Of iayesti-
cation had, they declined to report any opinion on
the subject, and returned the bill 70 the House,
and asked, permission 20 remain mum upon the
question Of its merits. The Consequence wa that
