A Coon FINANCIAL MovExESr.-ln the House
of Representatives yesterday Mr.. Hooper, from
the Committee Of Ways and Means, reported
the pet measure Of the national banks-to fund
the compound interest notes into three and
two-thirds interest bearing certificates, and
allowing the latter evidences Of Indebtedness
to be used by the banks as their legal reserve.
The bill was defeated by vote of eighty-four
against to seventy-Hve in favor. An amend
ment, which was substantially new bill,
offered by Mr. Randall, to redeem the CON-
pound interest notes by an issue Of one hun
dred millions Of legal tenders or greenbacks,
was subsequently carried by ninety-fve yeas
to sixty-6te nays. The vote recorded above
affords conclusive evidence that the national
banks do not WELD the power over Congress
that many supposed they possessed, end Il is
70 be hoped that the Senate will display the
same independent spirit that the House has
manifested by endorsing measure which is
so closely allied to the prosperity Of The
country.

T'rcsding upon the hecls Of the story that the
Cabinet appointment OF Postmaster Geaeral
had been rendered to Horace Greeley comes the
rumor that the venerable Blair-the father Of
all the other Blairs-has started on pilgrim
age TO Boston to offer the portfolio Of Secretary
of Stale to Governor Andrew, Of Massachusetts
Whether these reports are baseless or well
founded they certainly forcshadow . vsry
plausible policy. President johnson has tried
the Seward conservative nostrum aud has
found it wholly ine0icscicus in his case. Its
only effect has been 70 fasscn upon him in every
State a set of officeholdcrs without character
or influence. He has been pertinaciously urged
by the hungry copperheads to change his tao
tics and bcstow the spoils upon them but their
exhibition Of weakness 10 the late elections
saved him from 80 fatal blunder The current
rumors would imply that ne has resolved to
cast both these deadweights from his shout
ders and 70 reconstruct his cab,net and his
policy upon the basis Of nnivcrsal suffrage and
general amnesty, OF which doctrines Horace
Greeley and Governor Andrew are the loading
representatives. 1t is easy to understand how
effectually such a mastery stroke of policy
would embarrass the Ben Butler aud Thad
Stevens radicals in the next Congress and how
materially II would aid the President in ward
ing of the threatened blow Of impeachment

Fire. and Fire Insurance Companies.


The statements Of the fire insurance COM
panies in relation to the runous losses sustained
during the last two years are enough to startle
the community. While the reckless and inn
provident manner in which the business has
been conducted may account for the unsound
condition of some companies, and while in our
own. city the incompetency and ineficiency of
the Fire Department have great deal to do
with the increased destruction OF property,
there are also faults on the part of the owners
Of buildings which should receive the serious
attention of the public. The fact is, we are In
the habit, as people, of putting up stores and
dwellings in a hurry and in an unsubstantial
manner, and of using materials in their con-
siruciion which should, In this advanced age,
be entirely discarded, especially in crowded
city, Many of our large stores and warehouses
are OF such description that, once on fire,
there is no hope of Saving them. We might as
we'll allow the erection of wooden buildings in
the city as of such as are all the while going
up on many Of our principal streets. Ii our
property owners would use stone and iron in
their work they would find the increased cost
amply made up by additional security and
diminished rates OF insurance. II all the large
buildings in the city were constructed after the
model of the new HERALD building we might
bid defiance TO the flames head off any increase
of rates by the tottcring insurance companies.

Tho Oaar.ntinc Question.

There appears 70 he considerable anxiety
among The residents of hat part OF Long
Island embraced within The limits OF Fort
Hamilton, Bath and Coney Island-ail favorite
summer residences and watering places-lest
a quarantine station should be established on
Coney Island. A bill to this effect Il now
before the Legislature. and the Brooklyn Board
Of Aldermen have passed resolution urging
the members from Kings county to oppose its
passage. II must be evident TO every one that
any place on Long Island, which is in fact
part Of the city Of New York. would be most
undesirable locality for quarantine ground.
The difficulties which the State of New Jersey
has placed in the way Of establishing quaran.
tine station at Sandy Hook and the objection of
the residents Of Staten Island 10 have HOSPITALS
for patients suffering from infectious diseases
located in their midst, have produced serious
embarrassment on this question Of quarantine.
But the matter must be settled speedily in
some way. In few months tho time will
arrive when our quarantine system must be IN
operation, and we cannot afford to wait for the
decision of mere abstract questions. n we
cannot obtain quarantine station on Long
Island or Staten Island or Sandy Hook then
let US see what we can do in constructing II on
some isolated point, such as the West Bank
Shoals. II the Legislature were to decide
upon this plan It is not improbable that Con-
gress would lend helping hand to further
the measure. Taking time by the foreIock,
though an old adagc, has seldom failed. Il
will not do to wait until contagious diseases
are brought into our midst to put our quaran-
tine machinery 10 order. Now is the time 70

The Unimatum Of Consress-- Progress oT the
Great Revolution.

Senator Reverdy Johnsons support at the
eleventh hour Of the Reconstruction bill Of
Congress is remarkable incident and q very
encouraging fact. Every principle Of this bill.
from FIRST 10 last, Senator johnson has actively
resisted. He has been leading advocate Of
the Presidents views and measures OF Southern
restoration, and from his great reputation as
constitutional lawyer and ss a Southern con-
servative this Maryland Senator stands de-
servedly high in the Presidents confidence.
When, therefore, on the decisive test in the
Senate upon this radical Southern Reconsruc-
ton bill we find this prominent leader of the
opposition coming over TO the republican side,
We may say not only that /. is very remark
able, but very significant incident. His rea-
sons for this step are certainly very suggestive.
lie said that il che could have his wish he
would Immediately receive the Southern re-
personalities elected under the Presidents
policy into this chamber = but that rs mat
ters now stand he felt bound TO "acquiesce
with the majority in anything that held out
hope, however faint, Of accomplishing that
object;" that che would vote for the bill be.
cause he saw in II a mode of rescuing the coun-
try from the perils tina. now threaten it. and
not because he approved it in any particular"
This good example Of Senator Johnson, let
us hope, foreshadows the course OF President
Johnson. The Senator aces that further resist
ance is uscless that the contest Is decided. that
Congress has the case absolutely in its hands
and is prepared to remove even the President,
should he persist in blocking it, path. lie also
sees that Southern intrsctables have put
check upon Northern concessions, and that
since the defiant and contemptuous rejection
by all the excluded States OF the pending con-
stitutional amendment harshcr terms may be
exacted by Congress with the full approval Of
