money-reserves within its own vaults
where its operations Of discount and de-
posit are carried on"
In section eight strike out the word
twenty-five" and insert the word

tire an amount Of United States

banks, and propose the insertion OF the
following words: "And the United
States notes so returned shall be can

count Of the sinking fund provided for

act approved February, %, 1852,

FRANCE

PARIS, May 2l.-The duel between
the count OF Monticello and Prince
Metternich was fought to-day, but the
result Is not known.
Duke DeMonsiers, son Of Louis, died
to-day.
The new cabinet was completed this
afternoon by an addition to those MEM
bes already given Of Duke dAuffret
Pasquiet, without portfolio, General
Cissey, minister Of war; M. Wad-
diDgton, minister Of education; !;
Marquis De MOntaignac, minister Of
marine, and NJ. Bodet, minister of fl
nance. At q subsequent meeting, how
ever, the members of the moderate
right objected to the republican tenden-
cy of this programme, and NJ. Wad-
dington declined the port folio of eduea-
ton. This action destroyed the pro-
posed continuation TO coneiliate both
centers, and reopened q crisis. The
president Of the assembly, Duked' Cszes,
ana other members of the combi-
nation afterward held a conference with
President MacMahon, the result Of
which is not yet known.

SENATE.


The senate met at one O'Clock. After
the reading OF the journal of yesterday
Senator Upton said he arose to move q
correction therein, The journal showed
that the senate adjourned to meet at one
O'Clock to-day, but there was no men,
tion made of that fact in the record. In
view of the fact that the record was al
ready correct, he inferred that the jour
nal clerk was mistaken, and therefore
moved a correction, to strike out that
portion relative to adjournment.
The chair Senator Carpenterl said
that the Journal was correct, and the
senator should give in to the correct re-
cord.
Mr.. Tipton-Then move to correct
the Journal to read as follows: "Ordered
that when the senate adjourn it be to
meet at one o'clock tomorrow, on ac-
count Of the marriage in the family of the
President of the United Slater, which is
to be consummated at the hour of eleven
o'clock tomorrow morning."
Senator Hamilton-I believe the mo-
ton to adjourn over was made yester-
day, but no reason was iven by the
ehair-none whatever.
Senator Hamlin said he did not know
by what power the senator from Ne
braska CTipton1 proposed to coDstrue
the motives of senators in adjourning
over.
Senator Upton said that when he
came to the capitol this morning he
found the house in session. He did not
hear the motion to adjourn yesterday,
and not finding the senate in session he
inferred that something unusual was
going on. Now that time was precious,
he had come to the conclusion that an
adjournment for over two hours must be
for an event known to the whole country.
Senator Fenton suggested that in view
of the explanation OF the senator from
Maine, and Of the chair, the senator
from Nebraska withdraw his motion.
Senator Hsmlin said as a motion to
amendment the journal only expressed
the views Of the senator from Nevada.
Senator Hamlim moved to lay on the
table and the motion was agreed to
without dissent.
Senator West, from the committee on
! transportation, reported two senate bills
| for the improvement Of the mouth of
| the Mississippi with written report.
Placed on the calendar.
Senator Fenton introduced bill to es-
tablish the compensation of certain Gus
toms officers to regulate the service in
the collection of customs st the various
/ ports IN the United States and disposi-
tion of fines, penalties and forfeitures
incurred under the laws relating to Gus
toms. Which WAS referred to the finsnce
committee.
Among the salaries fixed by the bill
are the following: Collector at Chicago
and surveyor Of customs at st. Louis

der consideration the question Of the con-
tumacy Of J. A. Prescott, Ssnford's law
yer, will, it is understood, report to-

information relative to the Sanborn con-
tract. --

each.
The senate then resumed the consid-
Grafton OF the civil rights bill.
Senator johnson spoke in opposition
thereto.
Senator Morton spoke in reply to the
argument made by Senator Thurman
yesterday. He IMortonJ eontended that
the bill was constitutional, and said that
congress had full power to enforce the
provisions of the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution by appropriate legis-
latiOn. The great object of the four
teenth amendment was for the purpose
of establishing equality Of races.
After little further debate on the civil
rights bill, Senator Frelinghuysen gave
notice that he ewould tomorrow ask the
senate to remain in session and finish
the bill.
The postoffiee and pension appropria-
ton bills were received from the house,

INSURANCE AGENTS.

INSURANCE AGENTS.
LOUISVILLE, May 2l.-The delegates
to the association adjusting fire insur-
snce agencies of the northwest, rep
resenting some thirty-eight companies,
assembled st the Gait house this
morning. The afternoon session was
mainly taken up by reports from the
committees. The report of the COM
mittee on fire patrol and property-ssv-
ing at fires gave an interesting account
Of the working Of the fire patrol Of Chi
eago. At first the patrol had been order
ed to follow the rearest steamer, but
now matters were reversed, the first
steamer being ordered to follow the
patrol. The committee was OF the
opinion that if-the patrol was such s
success as is believed in large cities it
would be valuable in smaller places, and
meD with appliances for eXtinguishing
fires and facilities for covering would be
of immense advantage, as they would
often be able to eXtinguish incipient
fires quickly In small towns where the
expense of q patrol could not be afford
ed the committee thought the patrol
should be made part Of the fire depart
ment. The convention shortly after ad-
journed to meet again tomorrow.
UNDERWRITERS ASSOCIATION.
A meeting of the underwriters asso-
citation of the south was also held at the
Gait house in the evening representing

occupied entirely in reading of the re-
ports. Tomorrow night banquet will
be given to both associations at the Gait
house.
