Mr.. Mitchell, the new Pennsylvania
Senator, is not quite 43 ye.rs old. He
served several years in the legislature o
Pennsylvania. He has been in the House
of Representative for four years. but is
known to very few of the mem bsrs of that
body, as he seldom if ever takes the floor.
A NUM- Der of members of the House who
thought that according to etiquette it was
their duty to congratulate him on his
elevation to the Senate, had to ask that be

said to be satsfae tory to the Cameron wing
of the party. which may be true, but it is
known that he has always been firm and
consistent Blaine man, and Mr.. Blaine
friends are very much pleased over his
selection.

LAND SWINDLERS.
Discovery of Some Extraordinary
Real Estate Frauds.

Discovery Of Some Extraordinary
Real Estate Frauds.
DALLAS, March "a new link in
the great land fraud perpetrated in
this State two or three years ago has
just come to light here. A large
basket full of papers was found
Tuesday in her back yard by the
proprietress of a house of ill-fame,
which proved to be deeds to lands
of VIM. Bray to L. E. Tullis, with
chains of titles, including patents to
lands in nearly every county of Tex
as, and a number of powers of at
torney from Tullis to Bray. Tnere
are also deeds to lands in Indiana
and Tennesse, the whole amounting
to five hundred thousand acres, and
numerous letters written on printed
letter-heads, reading, "Texas and
Indiana mutual exchange coloniza-
ton bureau; W. S. Webb, president;
VIM. Bray, secretary" Who Webb
and Bray are is not known, their
names not being mentioned when
the frauds were discovered two years
ago, and when Tullis, Hall and oth-
ers were sent to the penitentiary.
The name of J. w. Bradley, of
Boston, also figures in these papers,
and several deeds are made out to
him from Bray.
It is not known how or by whom
the papers were placed where they
were found, but it is believed the
finding of them will lead to arrests
of persons engaged in another great
land swindle.

SENATE.

The supplemental funding bill,
received from the House OF Repre-
sentatives on the previous evening,
was laid before the Senate by the
Vice-President, read second time,
and referred to the finance commits
tee.
Mr.. Wallace, chairman of the sub,
committee Oh the subject, reported
back from the committee on appro-
priations, with amendments, the de-
ficiency appropriation bill.
The Senate insisted upon its
amendments to the sundry civil bill,
and appointed Messrs. Beck, Davis
of West Virginia, and Window a
conference on the bill on the part of
the Senate.
The regular order being the call
lendar, Mr.. Harris moved its post
ponement to take up House
bill to incorporate the Cherokee and
Arkansas River Railroad Company.
A long discussion followed upon
whether the treaty rights of the In
dian tribes through whose lands the
road was to run, were sufficiently
preserved by the bill. The bill was
finally taken up-ayes, 36; nays, ~;
but after a brief discussion, was laid
aside without action.
On motion of Mr.. Wallace, the de-
ficiency appropriation bill was taken
up in committee of the whole. The
bill was read and the amendments of
the Senate committee agreed to as
reached. Mr.. Hoar's amendment for
3 per cent. loan, with the modifca-
ton proposed by Mr.. Morrill,, en-

on motion of Mr. Morrill,.
Mr.. Wallace and other members of
the committee on appropriations,
raised the customary points of order
against the amendment.
Mr.. Hogr said that as the Demo
cratic side had manifested no dispo-
sition to regard the regard the
amendment with favor, he would not
press it further. The amendment
was accordingly withdrawn and the
dropped.
The bill was then reported to the
Senate, read a third time and passed.

and bearing higher rates of interest
than 3 per cent, and therefore a
better security for the bill-holder,
can not, after the first of July next,
be received as security for bank
circulation. This is radical change
in the banking laws 1t takes
from banks the right they have here
tofore had under the law to purchase
or deposit as security for
their circulation any of the bonds
issued by the United States, and de-
prives the bill-holder of the best
security which banks are able to
give by requiring them to deposit
bonds issued by the government.
The average rate of taxation OF
capital employed in banking is more
than double the rate of taxation up
on capital employed in other legisla
tive business. Under these circum =
stances to amend the banking
law SO as to deprive the
banks of the advantage of secur-
ing their notes by the most valuable
bonds issued by the government,
will, it is believed in large pant of
the country, be practicable prohibi-
ton of the organizing of new banks,
and prevent the existing banks from
enlarging their capital The nation
al banking system, if continued at
all, will be monopoly in the hands
of those already engaged in it, who
may purchase government bonds
bearing more favorable rate of in
terest than per cent. bonds prior
to next July. To prevent further
organization of banks is to put in
jeopardy the whole system by taking
from it that feature that makes it, as
it now is, banking system free and
upon the same terms to all who wish
to engage in it. Even the existing
banks will be in danger of being driv-
en- from business by the additional
disadvantages to which they will be
subjected by this bill. In short, I
cannot but regard the fifth section of
the bill as step in the direction of
the national banking system. Our
country, after long period of busl>
ness depression, has just entered
upon a career of unexampled pros
perity. The withdrawal of currency
from circulation by national banks,
and the enforced winding up of
banks in Consequence, would inevita-
bly, bring serious embarrassment and
disaster to the business of the coun>
try. Banks of issue are essential
instruments of modern commerce.
IF the present efficient and admira.
bic system of banking is broken
down it will inevitably be followed
by recurrence to other and
inferior methods of banking. Any
measure looking to such result will
be disturbing element in our fnan-
cial system. It will destroy the
confidence and surely check the
growing prosperity of the country.
Believing that measure for refund
ing the national debt is not neces-
sarily connected with the national
banking law, and that any refunding
act will defeat it's own object if it
imperiled the national banking sys-
tenn or seriously impaired it's useful
ness, and convinced that section 5
of the bill before me would, if it
should become a law, work great
harm, I herewith return the bill to
the House of Representatives for
that further consideration which is
provided for in the Constitution.

tional Capital.
WASHINGTON, March 8:
The following is the Presidents
message to the House of Represent
atives:
Having considered the bill enti-
tied, can act to facilitate the refund
ing of the national debt" I am cons
strained to return it to the House of
Representatives, in which it origis
mated, with the following statement
of my objections to it's passage:
Imperative necessity for prompt
action and pressure of public duties
at this closing week of my term of
Office, compel me to refrain from
any attempt to make full and salts
factory presentation of objections to
the bill. The Importance of the pas
sage, at the present session of Con-
gress, of a suitable measure for
the refunding of the national. debt,
which Is about to mature, is gene
rally recognized. It has been
urged upon the attention of Con-
gress by the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and in my last annual message.
If successfully accomplished it will
secure a large decrease in the annual
interest payment of the nation,
and I earnestly recommend if
the bill before me should fail that
another measure for this purpose be
adopted before the present Congress
adjourns. While, in my opinion, it
would be wise to authorize the Secs
retary of the Treasury, in his discre-
ton, to offer to the public bonds
bearing 81 per cent. interest in aid
of refundlng, I shall not deem it my
duly to interpose my Constitutional
objection to the passage of the pres
ent bill if it dld not contain in its
fifth section provisions which, in my
judgment, seriously impair the value
and tend to the destruction of the
presentnational banking system of the
country. This system has now been
in operation almost 20 years. No
safer nor more beneficial banking
system was ever established. Its
advantages as business are free to
all who have the necessary capital.
It furnishes currency to the public
which, for convenience and security
of the bill holder, has never been
eequalled by that of any other bank
ing system. Its notes are secured
oy deposit with the government of
ln1erest IA bearing bonds of the United
oIates: No section of the bill before
me- winch relates to the. national
banking system, and to which obiec-
ton is made, is not an essential part
OF the refunding measure. 1t is as
follows:
He then quotes the fifth section of
the bill.
Under this section it is OBJ.
vious that no additional bank
will hereafter be organized
except, possibly, in five cities or 10
calities where the prevailing rates OF
interest in ordinary business are exs
tremely low. No new bank can be
organized and no increase of the
capital of existing banks can be obs
tanned, except by purchase and de-
posit of 3 per cent. bonds. No
other bonds of the United States
can be used for the purpose. The
