reported fav0rably the bill re-e5taDilsning In;
Alabama Claims Commission and for dis
tributing general awards.
Consideration of the funding bill was ther
resumed.
Pugh's proposed amendments we're &C
cepted by Vest as notifications of his propo
sision.
The question was upon the amendment
offered by Hawley, allowing banks 60 retire
their bonds deposited for circulation il
amounts not over S.. 100000 per year, only
open TO 80 days notice.
The discussion was confined to MorrilPs
fourth section Of the Act of 1874, which the
amendment of Vest repeats, and Sections
5157 and 5160 of the revised statutes, which
it re-enacts.
The first mentioned allows any national
bank to deposit United States notes to the
amount of the bonds it seeks to withdraw,
and thereupon to withdraw its bonds and re-
ducs its circulation, and requires it to have
$50, 600, instead Of one-third Of its capital, on
deposit with the Treasurer, irrespective of the
amount of its capital. The section of the re-
vised statutes reViyes the old law requiring
one-thrd Of the capital of bank to be held
by the Treasury in United States bonds, pro-
hibiting the deposit of greenbscks IN lieu of
bonds, and further requiring the bank seek
ing to reduce its circulation to deposit its own
notes, the latter feature being the one in
sisted upon in the discussion as preventing q
combination Of banks from contracting cur
rency arbitrarily, and without notice.
Before action was reached, Hawiey got the
floor, the Senate went into executive session,
and soon after adjourned.
