Defeat OF the Currency Bill.

The defeat of the National Bank Currency
bill by an overwhelming majority in the House
ycsterday afternoon, has caused great surprise
In many people who regarded its passage as
certain. The following explanation has been
given;
Two Of the amendments were obnoxious to
the Committee of Ways and Means, and Mr..
Stevens offered a substitute, differing only from
the amended bill on the following particulars,
namely Restoring the uniform per cent. lu-
terest, and leaving 1t under national and not
State legislation, and emitting the section
which left the capital stock Of the Institutions
to be taxed the same as the property of indl-
viduals for State and municipal purposes. The
House emphatically non-concurred in the sub
stltuto, when Mr.. Stevens moved to lay the bill
on the table, and number OF his own political
friends voting with the opposition, which had
gone iu a solid body against the bill from the
first, II wat sgnally defeated.

Maryland throws of the "old Man OF the

but an overwhelming majority was given for
freedom. In Baltimore city the vote for con.
yention 10 frame new constitution was 9,1l9;
against tho convention, Ts. The majority in
the State for a convention is estimated at
dft,sn thousand. In reference to the smsllpess
OF the vote tho 1BiSsieda saysi
The vote cast In the city yesterday is not as
large as We hoped II would have been, or might
have been made by better organization In the
wards and more persistent efforts in bringing
out the voters. In view, however, OF the fact
that theLe was no oppoaitlon, and therefore
none Of the rivalries Of political contest, no
canvassing OF candidates who were seeking
office, and that there were disturbing influences
even among the friends OF Emancipation that
kept some from the polls, the aggregate vote
Is more than respectable.
The convention meets on the 27th Of April
The following Is given by the Baltimore Amer,

PRoBABLH COMPLEXION or THE CONVENTION.
