According to the highest financial au-
thOrity, the annual increase OF the
American people in material wealth
was in 1861 somewhere between four
hundred and seven hundred millions of
dollars. Now it is very much greater,
being about 1850 millions. In England
the rate OF accumulation is estimated to
be very much higher, though we can
not discover any good reasons for max
ing so favorable an estimate in the case
OF our British cousins. The working
people OF this country are better fed
and clothed than those of Great Britain,
a fact which, to that extent, diminishes
their annual accumulations; still, it is
incomprehensible that, with a far small
er population, the British people should
increase in wealth more rapidly than
ours. Part of the increased wealth of
both countries appears in the shape OF
dividends on railway stock, or interest
on public or private securities; it is,
however, mostly reinvested i'll new
works OF the enlargement of old enter
prises. Speculation evidently employs
far more capital than legitimate bust
ness.-[City Item.

WARRINGTON, March 29.-In the Senate
Mr.. Voorhees, offered the following resolu'
ton:
ReSOlred, That the hostile attitude assum.
ed by the National banks toward refund
ing the National debt at a low rate OF inte.
rest, and the recent attempt TO dictate
legislation oi Congress on that subject are
contrary to the best interests OF the peo.
pie aud well calculated TO excite alarm for
the future.
Mr., Morrell-I would ask the Senator II
he don't think that is legislative business.
Mr. 'Voorhees-1 supposed there would
be no question raised about the right to
otter the resolution, and by the consent OF
the Senate desire to submit o few re-.
marks upon It, not asking for any action
on the resolution.
Mr.. Morrell-l make point against the
resolution. II Is out OF order.
Mr.. Ferry Contended that tho resolution
was matter Of legislation and not in order
this session.
MI. Voorhees, said he had no idea he
was running In conflict with any question
Of order in Offering his proposition. He
had been informed OF precedents, and
that even legislative acts might be passed
here at this session and await the action
OF the House at the next session,
He understood the preCedenta stood In
that way. He simply desired to submit
few remarks which would be In the In.
terests Of the people on this question, II
might be desired on the other side TO rule
the resolution out on point OF order; be
did not know about that.
Mr. Conkllng suggested that the Sena.
tor withhold the offer OF his resolution
until tomorrow 30 ~ 10 enable the Sena.
tors to look at the precedents and law on
this question. The Senator would .lose
nothing by doing 80, as such resolution

the train was fifteen minutes behind, but
