Mr.. F. Wood said that he differed
in his views very much from his
tcolleague (Mr. Hutchins). He,, Mr..
Wood, for oinIa, would never concede
the right of any moneyed corpora
tions to dictate to the government
what it should or should not do on a
subject of it's own credit and it's own
money. He did not believe that Il
was absolutely necessary to take into
consideration the fact whether or
not banks would take those bonds
Congress was not to be alarmed at
threats nor intimidated by innuendo.
No depression of the money market
would be or could be made
in consequence of the pa age
of this bill, but it would strengthen
public credit. Let Congress do
what was right and the banks would
do what was profitable. He con-
demned the shameful policy of the
government in asking and humbly
beseaching syndicates and banks and
capitalists, in Europe and New York,
to be so kind as to take its 4 and Al
per cent. bonds. The time had ar
rived when Uncle Sam was stalwart
and stood upon his imperial. He
would never in his expiring course
OF public life of forty years, consent
that this great country should hawk
it's credit on the money markets of
the world. Applause. ger li-a
Mr.. Carlisle, of Kentucky, moved
to strike out the fifth section and
insert proviso that after May l.,
1881, 3 per cent. bonds, authorized
by this act, shall be only bonds re-
ceivable as security for national
bank circulation or as security for
safe keeping of public deposits, but
that when such bonds deposited sha'l
be designated for purchase or re-
demption the banking association
depositing the same shall have the
right to substitute the other bonds
of the United States: Provided
further, that no bond on which
interest has ceased shall be accepted
or continued on deposit for security
for the circulation or safe keeping of
public money, and in case the bonds
SO deposited shall not be withdrawn
within 80 days after interest has
ceased the banking association shall
be subject to the liabilities provided
by section 5,O24 of the revised
statutes. It repeals the 4th section
of the act of 1874 and re-enacts
sections 5,159 and $3.50 of the re-
vised statutes. The committee then
rose and the House, at 4:05, ad,,
iourned.

LOSS OF COTTON BY FIRE

i -
NORFOLK, Jan. 15.-The western
or receiving warehouse of the Old
| Do ninion Steamship Company was
destroyed by fire this morning. The
fire originated from an overheated
stove in the Office about 1880 o'clock,
and the building being of wood it
was entirely burned and its contents,
consisting of 1000 bales Of cotton
for New, York, and about $40, 500 of
general merchandise, received from
Baltimore and New York, and in
tended for North Carolina, were also
destroyed. The loss is covered by
Gsurance. The warehouse was
valued at $4,000. The company's
steamship Old Dominion was in her
ship-landing at the time, but was
gotten out without injury. 3, -bGa
Tbs democrat also has reports of
Louisiana sugar crops, which go to
confirm its former estimate, 236,OO0
hogsheads. The small planters have
finished sugar making and only few
of the large planters are still grind-
ing. A very small per centage of
cane remains in the field and all will
be gathered in two weeks. Contrary
to expectations, the December freeze
did little damage. The yield every
where has been fine, and in some
sections, notably in the larger sugar
parishes, has been enormous. The
reports indicate an average of so
per cent. over last years crop, when
the yield for the State was 172, ,424
