Cause they were uut accompanied by petitions

and Mr. Wright opposed the bill, but it wa
passed by u vote of % TO Il. There was !
long debate as 10 whether the Currency bill
and the veto message should be acted oo, OF
post puned to suit the convenience oil Ar
Schulz and Mr.. Washburn, neither of whom
were present. La the course OF the discussion
Mr.. Thurman remarked that General jackson
or Martin Van Burcu would have laid down a
financial policy which would have settled the
whole question lcng ago. MIR. Edmuuds re-
torred that 10 these days OF Republican indie
