CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.
After the call of committees the
Speaker stated that the committee on
currency had the floor for the remain
der of tho morning hour.
Mr.. Conger moved to go into the
committee of the whole on the pri-
vate calendar.
The Speaker declined to admit the
motion on the ground that there were
no bills on the private calendar, and
he added, the Chair ought to cxer-
else little common sense in such
matters.
Mr.. Conger retorted that if the
Chair was making an effort in that
direction he (Conger) was unwilling
to interfere with him. Laughter.
Mr.. Ewing: now withdraw my
motion to recommit tho bill reported
from the Committee on Banking and
Currency.
Ewing continued that the commit
tee instructed him to ask unanimous
consent to substitute for the commit
tees bill that presented by Fort, and
that the substitute be made special
order for Tuesday, 18th, and from
day to day until disposed of, with the
understanding that amendments may
be offered before the previous ques-
ton is demanded. The committee
believed its bill and Forts nearly
Identical, and that if it's bill became a
law banking will be free. Forts bill
was proposed under apprehension
that the repeal of the Sd section would
restore the restriction on tho ag-
gregate amount of the banking cur
rcncy and its distribution. To quiz
ct such fears the committee was
willing to accept the substitute of the
bill which repeats the whole of the
third section of the resumption act.
The third section repealed all restric-
tiOns on banking, amounts of bank
currency and its distribution that ex-
listed Jan. IA, 1875. If the third Sec
ton be repealed the restrictions and
limitations repealed by it will not be
restored. This is laid down in the
Revised Statutes, Sec. II, Chap. 2.
Hubbell objected to the substitute
and asked what two amendments
would be permitted. Ewing said
any two which the opponents Of the
bill agreed on. Hubbell wanted to
offer substitute; Ewing refused to
allow it and yielded the floor to Fort,
for all amendment, which Fort did ;
| it is the same as printed. Ewing
then moved the previous question on
the bill and amendments. Hale NOV
ed to table them; defeated.
