Nj. ROSCOE CONKLING, Of New Yotk, cd
dressed the House on the bill Public Gre lit
was Of the most vital imp9rtanoe 10 times Of
10 the trying times lis which we nov nnd our
selves. We have courage enough, We have tssn
enough 10 wipe out this rebellion. Nowhere
can an army be found who are better fed or
cared for than our army. There s nothing like
Il 10 ell history. he had full confidence tina,
We should como out Of this conflict victorious
He was opposed TO the issue Of dollar Of
paper money without . proper basis. The
country is rich, and ready 70 be taxed. The
whole country Is full Of wealth.. There 10
plenty Of money In circulation. Our money
has not been drained from the country as BY b
L
not been extravagant, as heretofore, In their
expenditures. They are ready and anxious 70
be taxed, but they want to know what 10 10 be
done with their money. They do not want II
pot into the hands Of gamblers or thieves And
they want vigorous prosecution Of the war
They want the rebellion crushed out by an
means hat will crush Il most efiectually.
He vas oppoeed to what b called . war oi
positions. or an exhaustive policy, In the con
-, duct Of the war. He did not want 10 dictate
any advances, or any other military move
being done with their money, and II we con
vince them that We are pursuing sound pol.
10y, we ehall have money enough. He then
criticised the bill and the arguments Of those
who have defended II. 4 .. ...-.'a
Mr.. BINGHAM, OF Ohio, thought that the
object Of certain gentlemen seemed to be, 10
lay the Government Of the United States at the
feet Of the brokers and bankers Of the couu.
Try. Alexander Hamilton and Daniel Webster
had been quoted BY gentlemen Of party,
which, while those men lived, was opposed 70
them, In order IL show that tho.e gree, nsn
were opposed TO the i.sus Of Uniied States
notes, and making them legal tender. He
proceeded further TO review the arguments Of
ihe gentlemen who had opposed the bill.
MI. SHEFFIELD, Of Rhode Island, ad-
dressed the House, ct length, In opposition u
the bill. He thought the tender clause In thI,
bill was dishonest Those who had contracted
with the Government held eur obligations with
the promise that they should be paid In coip
but this bill will pay them 10 acurrsncy which
they did not contract for. He proceeded 10
explain the operation Of the bankifg insti,u
tions in New England, In order 10 illustrate
another point Of objection TO the bill, aud de
olared that It would at once PROSTATE and ruin
all OF the industrial interests Of The country.
The committee ross without coming to any
conclusion on the bill.
Mr. WICKLIFFE, Of Kentucky, gave notice
that, on tomorrow, he should move to close
the debate on this bill, that We might vote on
the bill and relieve the country.
The House then adjourned.
