Contraction.

One Of the first bills offered in Con
gress, upon its re-assembing, was one
introduced by Mr.. IncersoII. of this
State, declaring that from and after
its passage, the Secretary of the
Treasury should have no authority TO
make any further reduction in the cur
rcucy by retiring or canceling United
States notes Immediately after dis
posing OF the impeachment question
the House took a vote upon this bill.
and passed it by the overwhelming
majority Of III to %.

He was the only Western member on
posed to the bill, Messrs. Garfield and
Spaulding, of Ohie. excepted. All
the balance were from States touched
by ocean. Such unanimitv Is rarely
attained. The interior Is almost a
unit against contraction. and large
majority Of the members from the At
lantic and Pacific States.
We are not surprised to hear that
Mr.. McCuiloch has already ceased
contracting out Of Difference to the
Judgment Of the House. The Score
tarv has the welfare Of the nation at
heart, and has erred through a miStak
en- idea Of true financial policy and
not through any lack Of patriotism.

ate report. but the House was .uncon-
WINGED. That he Is not disposed to
follow the example Of his pig-hpaded
superior, who chung to his own nolicv
