The Banking Bili In the ususe.
wAsHIsaroS, May D.-Buckner of
Missouri offered as a new section an
amendment to increase the amount of
reserve to be held by banks in large
cities from q TO 30 per cent. Of the ag-
gregate amounts of notes in circulation,
and in other cities from Is to 20 per
cent. and providing that the circulating
notes of all banking associations shall
be redeemed at the counters of their re-
spective associations, or at the Treas
ury in Washington, at the option of
holders. Rejected, by yeas 81 to nays
lo6.
Rice of Missouri offered an amend
ment fol a substitute for legal tender
Treasury notes for bank notes, when
the latter shall he withdrawn from cir
culation. Rice referred to the remarks
Of Bland yesterday in regard to the
Greenback party as a gross perversion
of fact. He would not charge the gen
tlenian as making the remarks wilfuify
and maliciOusly, but would attribute
them to ignorance of facts and the de
sire to make political capital. He pro
nounced the statement that Greenback
members from Missouri had been
pledged for the Republican Speaker. if
necessary to insure his election, as
bold and unwilling perversion, with
out foundation in truth.
Bland said he had not charged that
any pledges had been made, but had
stated that leading Republican papcrs
of Missouri had insisted that no Inde-
pendent or Greenback candidate would
receiue Republican support until they
hed pledged themselves to aid in or
ganizing the House under Republican
control. Rice's amendment was reject
ed, by yeas 46 to nays lag.
Randall offered An amendment nu-
thorizing and requiring the Secretary of
the Treasury to receive all deposits of
gold coin and bullion in sums of not
less than $40. and to issue certificates
therefor in denominations not less than

ton of u. s. notes. Coin and bullion

Gates of deposit shall be retained in the
Treasury for the payment Of the same

german.
A number of amendments were Of
fered, and Considered pending, and

NIT the bill to the Committee on Bark
ing and Currency, with instructions to

of tho amendment has been previously
published. In the case Of other States

The Clipper Freight MARKET.
New York. May l9.-The freight mar
ket now seems TO be at about the dullest
point Of the year, and there il but very
little doing. Outside lots are sent for
ward by regular shippers, and even
thees are becoming less each week.
Hence, from now ON until July we may
expect very dull market via Cape
Horn. What next season may bring
forth it is yet too early to predict, but
from tho present outlook il 10 not very
promising, M the railroads are making
strenuous efforts to capture the largest
shippers, and have already got one OF
two with . prospect Of getting others
Should they succeed, it IL likely that the
clippers will have rather quiet season
Rates remain steady, as both lines have
vessels on the berth that cost \ high hg
ure. Hence, there is no probability oi
break.
Deaeiency Appropriation.
WASHINGTON, May l9.-The joint reso
luton appropriatina sixteen million dol
lars to supply deficiency in appropria
tions for army pensions has passed.
