loan, so far as 1t restricts the amount Of cir
culation The third section provides that
the National Banks shall at all times keep on
deposis in the United States Treasury, in
lawful money of the United States, a sum
equal to Ave per cent. of their circulation, TO
be held and used only for the redemption OF
such circulation. The fourth section autnor-
ICES the National Banks to withdraw parts Oh
their circulating notes in sums OF not less
than 81 900, and to withdraw proportlonate
amount of bonds deposited in pledge for such
circulation. The fifth section amends sec
tons 81 and 80 of the National banking law,
by requiring all banks to keep thelr lawful
money reserves in the vaults OF their own
plaees of business. The sixth section re-
ouired the chartered numbers OF the various
hanks to be printed on their notes whenever
the same shall come into the treasury for re-
demption or otherwise. The seventh section
authorizes the banks to be organized without
circulation on depositing in the treasury not
less than 1000 in United States registered
bonds, and authorizes banks already organ
lied without circulation to withdraw their
bonds in excess of $40, 900. The eighth sec
ton directs the Secretary of the Treasury to
issue at the beginning OF each month from
and including July, 1874, S2,00o,Ooo OF Uni
ted States notes not bearing interest, payable
in gold two years after date in denominations
of not less than $40 in exchange for and as
substitute for the same amount of United
States notes now in circulation, which shall
be Cancelled and destroyed and not reissued;
and any excess of gold in the Treasury shall
be retainer as reserve for the redemption OF
such notes.
After discussion as to the disposition to be
made of the bill, the House refused to recon-
mend it to the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency, as desired by the Chairman of that
committee, and it was sent to the Committee
of the Whole, with the understanding that it
would be called up for discussion in two
weeks.
Mr.. Maynard also reported bill limiting
the amount of United States notes in circula-
ton to 100000 900, and allowing their ex-
change into convertible 3.G5 bonds. This bill
was also referred to the Committee of the
Whole.

LECTU0E on SUNDAY NIGHT.-
We regret thatw were not present
to hear the excellent sermon to
young men delivered by the Rev.
R. n. Pratt, in the Methodist
church, to crowded audience on
Sunday night. His text was from
Lamentations iii q, and was, we
learn, a very eloquent and earnest
exposition Of the subject matter OF
his tcxt-suhjcction to the Divine
law. Mr.. Pratt is one Of the most
promising young ministers Of the
Baptist Church, commands always
a good audience, and is always lis
tened to with interest. We trust
that it will not be long before he
will be permitted to worship under
the shadow Of his own stately edi-
flee. When completed it will be q
monument to his own industry and
zcal.

REL1c1oUs.-We had the pleasure
of hearing on Sunday last an excel

Due West, from Romans V: 10, which
set forth with great force and clear.
ness the Gospel scheme of Reconcilia'
tion. We shall not attempt a synop.
sis, which could not be otherwise than
and which would fail en-,
tirely to do justice to the logical force,
expressive diction, and sound theolog-
ical vicws of one of the most prom
Using of tho youthful diyines Of the
South. The church music, led by
Professor Hood, was of high order.
