WEDNESDAY, March 23.-Voorhees again submit
ted the resolution he yesterday offered and subse-
quently withdrew, declaring that the hostile attitude
assumed by the national banks to the refunding of
the national debt at q lower rate of interest and
their recent attempt to dictate the legislation of
gress are contrary the best interests of the people
and calculated to excite their alarm for the future
Morrill, raised the point of order that the resolution
was not in order, inasmuch as it was legislative
proposition. Sherman stated that like propositions
had been debated in every executive session. Voor-
hees argued against the point made by Morrill,,

resolution was laid over under the rules. Dawes
