VINO HAS THE NATIONAL BANK CURRgN
cY,--In an able speech of Ex-Governor
Seymour, Of New York, We find the fol-
lowing suggestive paragraph:
Not only is the public debt, which
pays nothing to support the government,
held mainly In one corner of our country,
but the banks, which have right to
make the currency for all the States, are
placed and owned in large degree by
the Eastern and Middle States. Not only
our debt, but our currency is sectional
lied. In the report of the secretary Of
the treasury on the subject, made last
session to Congress, it was shown Of the
national bank notes then issued, Massa-
chusetts had S5l for every person within
her borders Connecticut, SAL, and Rhode
Island II; while in the great commercial
States oft West-Ohio, Illinois, Wis
consin and Michigan-the portion is in
Ohio only S5 per head in Illinois, &c;
in Michigan, SO, and in Wisconsin 80 per
head of the population. SO that what
ever profits are made out Of bank circu
lation, by far the largest proportions
thereof goes to these New England States
The numbers and wealth OF the people
Of the great States thus left with little or
no means of getting currency, except as
borrowed from more favored sections,
making this glairing evil 4a

ETJames w. Throckmorton, the
present popular Governor of Texas, was
a member of the State Convention called
to act on the ordinance Of secession, IN
1861, and boldly voted against it--al-
most alone The Austin Gazette thus
describes the scene: aaa.
"The Hall was crowded to its utmost
capacity, with members, distinguished
personagcs and ladics-the galleries were
crowded, and on the rostrum with the
President, were the members Of the Su-
preme Court. The scene was intensely
exciting but most profound silence per-
vaded the vast assemblage. Every per.
son present seemed TO realize the fact
that the hour was pregnant with history.
The Secretary began the calling Of the
roll with slow and solemn emphasis-the
responses were firm and decided. The
member from Williamson, who had been
decided Union man, changed his posi-
ton, and voted for the Ordinance! This
was followed by applause, but in mo-
ulcill aS tuc Sui pltNccuCu, tuc olcuCV
was again marked. When the name of
Throckmorton was called, all eyes were
turned to him! His known character for
frmness, forbid the expectation that no
would change. but his love for Texas
had doubtless suggested to the minds Of
some, that he might yield. AS the Sc
cretary pronounced his name, he arose
from his seat and said "Mr. President!
In view of all surroundings, with full
knowledge of my responsibility to my
God, Slowly raising his right hand above
him and my country, unmoved BY the
wild spirit Of revolution around me, I
vote, NO! AS he took his seat, an aud
ible Kissing was heard in the gallery
above in an instant he was on his feet
again, and pointing his finger towards the
offending quarter, addressing the Presi.
dent, said: "Sir, when the rabble hiss,
patriots may tremblee' ,......
Yet after hostilities had commenced,
nc went with his section, and fought on
that side during the war.

numerous friends of Mr.. Thomson, but
contrary to the desire of that gentleman
and against his earnest remonstrances.-
After the 3D. balloting he prevailed upon
Col. Tracy to withdraw his name, much
to the disappointment and against the
desire Of his friends who were very san.

LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE.
SENd TE.

The latest proceedings of this body
which we have seen, being those of Mon
day refer principally to the consideration
Of local bills and to others In the calendar
which we have previously adverted to, as
introduced from time to time, and which
remain among the unfinished business OF
legislation.
In the Senate, on Monday, q joint reso-
luton introduced by Mr.. Duvgneaud,
proposing amendments TO the Constitution
of the State of Louisiana, came up as the
special order of the day.
Mr.. Kavanagh offered an amendment TO
article /, making the judiciary elective,
which was lost.
An amendment to the first article, pro-
posed by Mr.. Mun5ay, fixing the terms for
which the judges Of the Supreme Court are
appointed at ten years, and the term for
judges of inferior courts at seven years,
and providing that in order that the Su-
preme judges shall not all go out of office
at the same time-two justices. first APP
pointed, shall be appointed only for five
years, but their successors shall be APP
pointed for the full term-was adopted.
Pending the discussion on the adoption
of the last article, the Senate adjourned,
with the understanding that this resoIu-
ton was to be taken up again, first among
the unfinished business.
