port bill partially restoring the ranking
privilege. The same committee decides

- in the Senate petitions from the Ma
tional Board Of Trade for the revision Of
the revenue laws, against an imitation Of
currency, for an amendment to the ma
tional banking account, and for q reduc-
ton OF the volume OF fractional currency,
were presented.
Oglesby presented the petition of the
National Board OF Trade in relation TO
cheap transportation, and made speech
in favor of the immediate attention OF
Congress to the subject, saying that, in
his opinion, it WAS a question OF more
Importance than that Of finance.
Bogy spoke in favor of national legis-
ton TO improve and open the national
water routes from the West to tine East.
The petition was referred TO the Commit
tee on Transportation routes on the sea-
board.
The consideration of the finance reso-
luton was resumed, and the remarks OF
Brownlov were read by the Clerk. He
opposed an immediate return to specie
payment, and thought the present fnan-
cial system good, but the distribution Of
the currency was unequal. The South
and West should have more.
Gordon opposed n speedy resumption,
though he would be in favor Of it at the
proper time. To give the country more
currency and make it flexible, would, in
his opinion, be the shortest and surest
method of relief, as he believed that
course would bring out millions of green
backs now boarded up. Speaking Of his
own section, he said the south was poorer
to day than when Lee surrendered. He
hoped for the day when the Government
would issue money, not founded on gold,
but on the faith of the Government and
receivable for all dues alike.
