WASHINGTON, August 19th.-The constant
desire on the part of the public for 81 and 81
bills has raised discussion as to the pro-
priety of an amendment to the Act author

would rather see the present certificates
abolished than TO be reinforced by smaller
denominations. Mr.. Upton, Assistant Sec

ling. They would at any time supply ma
terial for profitable reflection, but they do
the more so because France is heavily sub
sidizing lines of steamers to ply to our shores,
and because China, which commands the
cheapest labor of the world, is preparing to
trade hither, with native ships, too. The
outlook is discouragipg. A Convention has
been called to discuss this question, and it
will meet at Boston October 9th.
