upon which the two houses disagree, be amended

their reports to town Clerks, and they shall be

As to provide for the reading of such reports at III
Narca meetings, as The Senate amendment reads
report agreed to.
The bill providing that banks may issue frac-
ti9nal bills came up as unfinished business.
Mr.. Hunton Withdrew his motion to dismiss
and the question REQUIRED upon the passage Of the
n.l.
Nr. Gale of Plailifeld thought fractional bills
would be so great u convenience Us to render the
passage OF this act very desirable.
lr. Adams of Colchester believed the character
ct the proposed legislation SO questionable, IN
view of the act of Congress- in reference to this
matter, that it was his duty to protest against the
bill.
MIR. Hunon thought there was misapprehen-
sion as to the advantage to be derived from the
law proposed. The fractional bills issued by
hanks would be no better than such bills now is
sued by individuals, provided the individuals were
as responsible and we'll known as the banks. 1t
was the duty of the State and the people to sus-
tain the action of the United States in reference
to currency. Tne United States postal currency
was much better than that which banks might is
sue under this law. l: would be wiser to wait
until this currency could be obtained than to
adopt the questionable measure proposed. There
was another reason that had been referred to why
ibis bill should not pass. There was an act Of
Consrassi which this bill proposed directly to
violate. He would inquire whether the Assem-
bly, whuld legslate in opposition 10 United States
law.
Mr.. Chandler said that he was the individual
who had the aadacny to introduce bill in viola
dlon Of United States law, and who had the te-
merty to defend such bill. There was law OF
the State that prohibited individuals from issuing
bills for the purposes of currency, and Furnishing
the violation OF its prohibition felony; and
yet he would inquire if the gentleman from Beth
c (lun,o y an MS constituents had not received
and aided the circulation of such currency, thereby
violating that Law. There was Ii necessity for
this, Ia the difficulty Of nakng change, and it
was understood by common consent that this re.
