were ordered to be printed.
In the House OF Delegates, bills to prevent the
smashing Of baggage by railroad employees, and
amend the local laws OF Baltimore relating to

The NATIONAL BANKS AND THE FUNDING
BILL.-A delegation OF Bank Presidents, repre-
senting the Executive Committee Of the Asso-
citation Of National Banks Of the United States,
called upon Secretary Boutwell, yesterday Tor
the purpose OF presenting their views In opposi-
ton to the eighth section Of the now Funding
bill, now under confederation in the Senate
which, ifPassed, obliges the banks to withdraw
all their SIX per cent. bonds, and put mp, to se-
cure circulation, bonds at four, four and ono
proposed reduction Of taxation. They wefe &C
ter, late Comptroller Of the Currency Of New
York; c. T. Longstreet, Of Syracuse; +. 4. Pal
mer, President Of the Brosdway Bank, New
York, and other bankers. They argued that in
case the clause in the Senate Funding bill was
adopted, requiring them to exchange their Hes-
ent bonds for the bonds provided IN the bill,
that the banks would be compelled to wind up
their Institutions. They could not zee or under
stand why any such restrictions should be i'm
posed on them. They wished to be placed on
the same footing with other bondholders. The
Secretary thought they were In error In their
views on this subject, and stated the reasons
why ne thought 30. They assured the Secretary
that II the bill vas passed In that form Il would
break up the National banking system. The
Secretary said that he had not considered the
provisions OF the bill referred to In the lght pre-
sented by the committee, and referred them to
the Senate Finance Committee, through whom
the bli had been reported, and who would, no
doubt, hear their arguments, and II Congress
should consider Il wise to relieve them Of the
tax, no one would be better pleased than him
self.
