FROM WASHINGTON.
PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, December l6.-Buckner.
Chairman Of the Banking and Currency
committee, says among other things. it is
the intention of his committee to urge the
repeal OF the law permitting the secretary
of the treasury to allow large sums of money
10 accumulate in national banks. The fact
that this has been done, and is still being
done to surprising and shameful extent,
as is urged by some, has been recently
made known. and is deemed ut once an I'M
just and unnecessary action, and an ex-
trayagant favor to the banks on the part of
the government. 1t is shown by the Of
fetal records that the First National bank
Of New York had at one time over $45, 000,-
600, and even now has fully $20,00O,00O in
its vaults. The Natio lal bank of Commerce
OF New York is also known to have had
$6,G00,000 shut up in its possession.
BOGUS CLAIM.
The secretaty Of the interior calls the at
tention of Congress to the bogus character
of claim of $4,000 Struggled through in
an appropriation bill at the last session. 1t
is alleged that prominent senator was in
strumental in getting it inserted in the bill
1t is now proposed to investigate the mat
ter.
AFFIRMED THE DECISION.
The supreme court to-day affirmed the
decision oil the lower court in the case of
the Kansas Pacific railroad company vs. the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad, in
volving the title to ninety thousand acres
of land The decision was for the Kansas
company.
BLAINEs RESOLUTION.
The debate in the senate to-day on the
Blaine resolution was Of very exciting
character, aud was participated in by Sena-
tors Bayard, Butler, Lamar, Eustis and
Ransom, of the Democratic side, while Sena-
tors Conkling, Howe, Ioar and Blaine look
ed to the interests of the Republicans, The
resolution was under consideration when the
senate went into executive session, and it is
likely to consume great deal of time before
tits disposed Of
MATTHEW'S MISFORTUNE.
Stanley Matthews was unfortunate in his
endeavor to put the Texas Pacific bill on
its passage, and his resolution that its con-
sideration should take precedence over
other matters, was voted down, several vot-
ing against it who are known to be friendly
to the bill, but who were not willing that
Senator Blaine's resolution should lie
over.
