THE FRANKING BILL.

srRoNG SPEECH BY Mr. RAssON AGAINST THE ABUSE
-RENCoNIRR BETWEEN MEssRRs BECK AND
cRossLAND-NO VOTE ON THE BILL YET TAKEN.
lBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRmusE.l
W.smNGToN Feb. 19.-The debate on the Frank
ing bill in the House got very lively to-day. Mr.
Kasson made powerful speech against the revival
of the old abuse, which greatly annoyed and dscon-
certed the Republican members who want to vote
for Mr. Packers bill. and had been fondly imagining
that the argument trumpet up in ITS favor would do
to stand upon before their constituents. Mr.. Kasson
knocked these arguments down with the greatest
ease and then was 80 cruel as to thrust the tenth
resolution of the Philadelphia platform at the poor
fellows who were fouDdering about among
the debris, demanding of them how they
could, as honorable men, vote to restore
the Franking privilege after having been
elected ON a platform which condemned it in the
strongest terms. They had pledged themselves be-
fore the people to support that platform and before
the reform inaugurated in compliance with Its
declarations had had years trial. they were deter
mined TO sweep it away. II they thought Thanking
oupbt TO be restored the least they could reasonably
do was TO wait until the people had been gwen an
oppoTtunity Of passing upon the question and re-
versino their prev ous verdict if they desired 80 to
do The would be franker3 interrupted MI hasson
every few minutes and tried all sorts OF diversIonsto
break tho force OF his remarks, but to small
purpose. He kept his temper aud the thread
of his argument admirably At the close OF his
speech he exhibited six largo baskets full OF peti-
tons packed in solid bundles, all demanding the re-
peal of the abused privilege which had been sent to
the House in tho last Congress. These, he SAID
were part of the evidence of the views OF the
people on the question. Although he had permitted
his opponents to occupy large part OF his time with
their questions aud Interruptions, when the hammer

WASHINGTON.
THE FINANCIAL DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
TIE CAMERON PRER BANKING AMENDMENT RE


OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES or THE INITIATION
IsIs.
lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUsE.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Ibe infiatonists camo
into the Senate this morning in the best of spirits
They considered the vote of yesterday on Mr..
Scotte amendment to provide for the redemption Of
National bank notes in coin or bonds . substan-
tal victory, and they believed that free banking
was the most popular form of initiation that could
be devised concluded to have vote on what is
known as the Cameron amendment. This was to
instruct the Finance Committee to report a bill
moving all present limitations upon the establish
ment of National banks under the present
law and regulations There was only one
weak point in this proposition, when viewed
from an infatioDist standpoint. Some of those who
are in favor of more paper money hesitate about
launching forth upon Of which they cannot dis
Germ the farther shore. They womb inhauoh' put
they desire to know in advance the amount OF 1t.
Mr.. Ferry of Michigan saw this weak point. and in
measure removed it by promising that if Mr..
Cameron's amendment was agreed to some limita-
ton would be fixed and other Senator'S who took
part in the debate which continued all day, at
tempted to show that the amount of National bank
currency that would be issued under such law
must necessarily be limited.
At o'clock this afternoon the inflationists were
as confident Mr.. Ferry of Michigan who
made careful canvass Of the Senate, told his
friends that there was no doubt of their having
majority; and even those who were on the other
side felt many misgivlngs, and were little disposed
to talk the matter over to another day. long
speech by Mr. Bogy late in the afternoon. convinced
them that nothing was to be gained by delay, and
finally the roll call began The result of the vote
fully justified the conjecture Of yesterday that any
specific plan of imitation is weaker in the Senate
than the general abstract proposition to initiate in
some way. Mr. Allison led off in the desertion from
the ranks of the expansi0nists, and was followed
by Mr. COnover, who was absent yesterday,
but whose vote had always been counted as
in favor of more paper money. Then came Messrs
Goldthwaite, McCreery, and Merrimon. The only
vote that the nhatiOnists gained from the other
side was that of Mr.. Howe. Mr. Thurman they lost
through his absence. which was probably occasioned
by his desire to have the subject recommited with
out instruction, and thus avoid any present record
on the question. Mr.. ConOver was supposed to vote
in the negative in order to be able to move recon-
sideration, and Mr. Merrimon, in order to save his
own amendment, for which Mr. Cameron had moved
this as a substitute. Free banking was, therefore,
defeated by vote Of 26 in the affirmative to 81 III
the NJ gative, as follows: Republicans IN Roman
Democrats in italics, and Liberal Republicans in
.4.l.

small capitalist

The result Of this vote seemed entirely to de-
moralize the nfationists. 1t made 1T extremely
doubtful whether they can carry any increase OF
banking circulation through tho Senate and showed
them that there were Senators whom they had
counted on their side IN making up their bare ma
iority OF less than half q dozen who could not be
depended upon. Mr.. Gordon offered an amendment
looking TO kind of intro-convertibility scheme
something similar to that advocated in the House.
but though it caught the votes of q few Senators
who had opposed Mr. Cameron's free banking
amendment it lost the votes Of an equal number who
had supported it, and therefore, in the aggregate,
did not gain single vote.
After this the Senate was the scene of perform
ance that would be amusing were the subject one OF
less vital Importance To the business OF the country
Mr. Cooper offered an amendment providing for the
conyertibility of grcenbacks into gold or five per
cent bonds and free banking. The question was put
without debate, and without call of the yeas and
navs or even division of the Senate, was declared
to be carried. Probably not One-thrd OF the Senate
knew what they were voting for and the result was
tina. the Senate having, in two deliberate votes,
declared against redemption in gold or bonds and
free banking put itself on record in favor of both in
one ypa roce vote. motion to reconsider was
made. and will probably be agreed to tomorrow.
To-day's votes in the Seuate give no ground for
changing the predictions cautiously made in THE
TRIBUNE dispatches last night 1t still looks as
though the anti-intlationsts while unable to carry
any amendment to instruct the Committee, in ac-
cordanco with their own views, will be able to
defeat any instructions desired by their opponents
This prediction is, however. made with great
caution. on account OF the evenly divided sentiment
Of the Senate and the possibility that few absentees
or some new combination OF compromise may
change the result of any vote

We are gratified TO learn that Gener-
al William Morgan, who occupied response
bic position on General " aShburu's staff dur
ing the war. while the latter was in military
occupation OF Memphis, has lately received
an important appointment in the treasury
at Washington, at a salary OF
twenty-five hundred dollars per annum.
General Morgan Is favorably remembered by
many of our citizens as q humane and gener-
Gus man, VINO did many acts OF kindness to
our people wnen they were in distress, and
when subjected to the privations and horrors
OF war. While always true TO the require
ments Of duty TO that government, under
whose flag he held command, yet he had a
heart TO feel Tor the suffering and the unfor-
tunate when under the iron heel OF the con-
querOT. Unlike many others who held COM
mand in the Federal army, and who seemed
TO think their mission was one OF cruelty and
oppression, General Morgan tried to soften
the hardships and asperities OF war by Glenn
eocy and kindness TO the conquered. We say
this a simple act Of Justice to a generous
soldier. Many in this community who ex-
peTienced his kindness and generosity, will
hail with pleasure the news OF his promotion.

Mr.. Pope attained the same excellence in ihe
personstion of "Belphegor" as has character
lied his efforts in other cities. The support
was good, and the play proved both agreeable
and most interesting throughout It's entire

larger; for Mr.. Pope is a good artist, fully de-
serving the most liberal patronage Of our best
citizens. Belpheg0r will be presented again
tonight, and tomorrow evening Mr.. Pope
