WAsHrNGToN.-Ihe President Tetoes the FL
nance Billion the 22nd the President sent to
the Senate his veto of the Bill increasing the
that though theoretically it would increase
the volume of currency nearly 800, 100000, in
reality it would produce a contraction, because
it requires that threefourths of the reserves
be kept by the banks and prohibits the exac-
tion of interest on the balance. The theory is
also o departure from true principles of ma
tional interest and obligation to creditors He
considers the national honor pledged to an
early resumption of specie payments. The |
message will be considered early next week in |
the Senate. A caucas of leading Senators who
other Radical leaders, has been held and it was |
therein resolved to make direct issue with |
the President. Throughout. the eastern and |
middle States the message has been received |
with great enthusiasm.
THE LOUISIANA CAsE.-The debate has been
in the Senate with various Interrupt
tions. Bogy, of Missouri, Bayard, of Della
ware, and Merrimon, of North Carolina, spoke
against the Kellogg usurpation.
Senator Bogy said that this was the most
important subject ever before the Senate of
the United States, and he could not imagine it
possible to present to the mind of an American
Senator o matter of moro Importance. The
Government of the United States rested upon
The States, and upon them alone. They were
the foundation, the only foundation of the
whole system of government of the United
States. He never believed in the right of Sc
cession, but always believed the States had
formed confederation from which they had
40 right to withdraw on account of the condi-
lion of affairs throughout the South. Louisiana
was here to-day, Arkansas would be here to-
morrow, and at some day not far distant South
Carolina and others would be here. The
Southern States, under the present govern
nents, would all go into state of quasi
anarchy. In emancipating one race in the
south, Congress had enslaved the other
Jefferson, Hamilton and their
associates, never dreampt of universal suffrage.
The statesmen of the revolution and the men
who formed this Government were not such
nen as We have to-day; they were not men of
ointment, but statesmen.
Senator Bayard, referring to the manner in
which the President and Attorney GeneI al had
eceiyed the petitions from Louisiana, said
Vas it possible that American citizen !
Ould not creep to the footstool of power and
umbly petition without being repulsed in this ,
manner. As an American his very blood boiled
o read such things. Withdraw your troops
rom Louisiana. Call off your dogs and let the |
tate speak her own mind. If collision should !
nsue, nay, il bloodshed should follow, it
'ould be better for the people to lose some of ,
hem whom they valued most than to submit
such wrongs. IF men die in the defence of i
rights they are rather to be con- I
ratulated than those who survive them to live
; slaves, and not as freemen. I
