Return of vi essrS. Gordon and
B.amar Affairs Of the
FrcedInen's BanlG.
The PbnchDaclG Matter iR the
Scnate-IEiS Rejection
Almost Certain.

WASHINGTON, March l2,-After q
long discussion over Mr. Clayton's res
olution for u special cOmmitte to in
Quire into the Indian territory affairs,
the senate, without action, went into
executive session and adjourned.
Senator Gordon, ofGeOrgia, and Rep
resentative Lamar, ofMississippi, have
returned from New Hampshire. The
Boston Herald, independent republi-
can, says: "rhey could do much 20
convince our people that the time had
come to secure local government to
the south, and that we are preparing a
chalice that will surely, sooner or later,
be pressed to our own lips. The ques-
ton is local to us ms well rs to the
south; we cannot sustain free instittl-
tions in one section, while trampling
them down in another; we must main
tain liberty for ull, or submit to Il des-
potism which will deny the rights alike
TO ALL"
In the senate, the consideration of
the resolution for the admission of
Pinchback was resumed, ana Mr.. Me
Creery, of Kentucky, spoke in opposl-
ton thereto.
The Freedmen's bank is in a worse
condition than heretofore supposed,
and therefore the commissioners,
Cresswell, Lupod and Pumis, have
asked to he relieved from any further
responsibility for or on account of said
trust, provided their bond may be re-
leased from liability after their retire
ment, and new commissioners be sub
stituted in their places. They assign
as an excuse for their action failure
to obtain from congress such legisla-
tion as they deemed essential to the
proper and speedy execution of the
trust reposed in them.
EX-congressman White, of Alaba-
ma, declines the assistant attorney
generalship.
Mr.. Alcorn will vote for seating
Pinchback.
Confirmations.--Rankin, pension
agent at Vicksburg.
The senate had two hours wrang-
ling over business in executive session.
They will vote on Pinchback Tuesday.
His rejection is almost certain. The
last part of Mortons resolution, declar-
ing kellogg the legal governor OF
Louisiane will not come up.

The London Economist reports y
late decision Of the English court Of
oXcheQucr chamber M follows
The decision IL to the effect that Il
check IL to be treated rs any other
bill Of exchange, rendering the
drawer liable to bo sued mon il, It
unpaid, by any bona Gde holder
who is not affected by IN equity
attaching to the party to whom or
on whose account the check was
given, The circumstances OF the
present case were that the plaintiffs.
being tho bankers Of Messrs, Liar
di, who failed two years ago, pressed
them for payment of thoir over
drafts or for additional security, and
when doing so, on the eve Of the
failure, received from them an order
ON the defendants TO pay the
amount OF two bills for two thousand
pounds sterling, for which order the
defendants gave the plaintiffs the
check in question, which tho latter
Immediately placed TO the credit Of
Lizards account. The defendants,
hearing that Lizard had stopped
payment, instructed their bankers
not to pay the check, upon which
the plaintiffs Immediately sued
Two points were thus raiscd--ouc,
whether the exchange of the order
from Lizard on the defendants for
u check by the latter was n consid-
Grafton between them and the
plaintiffs and the other, whether
the plaintiffs had not ip any case II
good title to the check, even if they
had received it direct from Messrs
Lizard, on the ground that, being
given for an antecedcnt debt, there
was valid consideration which
prevented them from being affected
by the equities attaching 10 Lizard.
The court below had given most at.
tention to the first point, holding
that the giving up of the order on
the defendants to pay the amount
was Il valid consideration for the
check as between the plaintiffs and
the defendants but the court Of
error now went farther, and decided
with reference to the second point
exclusively, that "a negotiable Sc
curity given for such a purpose is a
conditional payment Of the debt, "
and being taken by the creditor as
moneys worth, is as truly his pro
perty as the money which it repre-
sents would have been if paid in
bank of England note or coin, The
defense had been that Il check was
different from u bill Of exchange at
however short date, because in the
latter case the creditor gave delay
to his original debtor, and this was
consideration entailing the cred
itor to proceed against the drawer,
while there was no such considers
ton in reference to n check on the
same footing as other bills Of ex-
change. 1t is to be regretted, per.
haps, that the court was not unan-
imous, Lord Justice Coleridge
having dissented from his colleagues
in an elaborate judgment, on the
ground that a check is not bill of
exchange, but an instrument sui
generis; but the common sense OF
the matter is so plain that we hope
there is no chance of an appeal or
an alienation of the law as now
settled.
