THE NEWS.

Tlad. Stevens Clair1nan Of the Ways aud
Means Committee, has It t7oduced bill to
tax the ierucs OF the unconstitutional banks
mt the rate Of one quarter cent a month, for
.hc purpose Of causing them to contract their
ihinplnsters. This is tardy step in the
Eight direction, taken two Fears after It should
Lave been adopted. But we hive graye
6outts whether even this slight tax can be
got through Congress- All the Coppcrhcads
viii oppose It because its tendency is to
strengthen the credit Of the Government; and
a large number Of members are opaed by
Wildcat banks, and they dare do
nothing to cnrtan the special privileges of
their masters. The suction-pump' institu-
tions hive too many retainers and tools in
Congress to allow anything to be done for
the public good tiat may interfere with their
unconstitutional prcrogatiyes. Their busi-
1scss is, to utter md yend due bills, initiate
the currency with them, set every thing
crazy, swamp the crcoit Of the Government,
make hay while the sun shines, and when
chilled on to redeem their ''promisca to pay"
1ursf. OF course their tools aud copartners
In Congress will not permit any restrictions
GU their inalienablc rights TO expand and ex-
l'lode.
