SENATORIAL DEBATE ON THE FREEDNAN's BUREAU
BILL.
The discussion in the Senate to-day on the bill
establishing fresdman's bureau, indicates that the

Smiied opportunities for knavery oppression and self
the commissioners and agents not

tion against the arguments adduced to-day Mr. Sumner
his usual style OF personalities, denouncing
some ~ slave hunters and others as capous critics,
until rebuksd silence, and the Senate wearied whh

expected The speculators watching IL with much
interest," several largo operators having arrived here TO
look after that and the seventy five million loan.
Fears entertained by many, even of those who
voted the Gold bill, that will fail 10 effect the
purpose Intended. Already thcrc plans matured BY

grsenbacks in the place Of gold. II is feared that this
tho trade OF Wall street will deprecaie legal ten
ders rapidly than the spectators In gold advanced
the price OF IL.
