The rapialp growing Western States, where. credit .1s . most needed, have scarcely three dollar* Man inhabitant, while all the late rebellEnates idol:same:shy without any banking cir culation. This unfair distrllmtion, he aald..grew out of a palpable violation of law by the then Comptroller of the Currency and Secretary of the Treasury. The first " banking act of. February 25, 1863, provided". rule of diet:rib:Dion, by which the whole amount of circulation was not to exceed 8300,000,000, 1150,- 000,000 of 'which • was to be appal , - tinned among the - States according population, and the other 1150,000,000 - 'according to banking capital and so ' horses. The revised :set of June 3d. 1264. was silent as to distribution; bat give to existing State banks the right to ' • • enter Into the banking system without limit. The growing Inequality of the distribution becoming Ed, Can act ch Ed, 1885, restored • ge • old rule of ruleof distribution. At that time there was. leas than $150,000,000 of banking circulation, and if this law bad been observed each hate would have had reserved for it not leis lean five dollars - for each inhabitant. Thle law wit Lis gristly and boldly disregarded. and the pretense to justify it was thisproviston In • the Internet revenue actor March 3,1864 which continued up until July 1, 1806, tke privilege to existing banks to be- come national banks. On the &Mot oo tober, 1865, the whole banking 'l:bent/b. Oen OEI /190,000,000. leaving, three months after the expiration of this act, 5110,061.000 for distribution according to population. But in open ilizrogard of law, the remaining circulation was Is>oed :o the old States to the exclusion of s ciat h,wn and Western States, AA= i ncr ,,,,zeng all the didlenings of.

The West • demanded more circulation, and were deprived of it by violation of law. The Dag enjoying its monopoly, demanded contracting yet was not willing to yield' to the West one dollar of circulation for three years. A remedy for this had been long sought. During the teal • Congress the Senate and House each palmed bills recalling from some piths meant States a portion of their outer for distribution in the West and gown. • but there was a diffarenoe as to the man. Der and extent of doing it. The House • leensted on a general and 'the Senate C.,'; cemented only to a partial adribiation. not exceeding 140,000,000... Objection was made that the eastern banks 'were Innocent of fault, and the withdrawal of their circulation would derange business and remedied'wester evil than the one to be . 'To avoid this, the Own. mittee on Finance made the following suggestion-to the President and Seem tory of the Treasury : Proposing to Increase tlio,litnit of bank, elreulation sls,eooteoo, the citadel inn tall be distributed to the Southern and Wesl ern S:atini, which was the proposition-of The tirat objection was that this was aD expansion at thecurrency, to which the Ccounittre was Oppreed. and In no event, , daring . the suspension of specie par/ merits, would he (Mr. Sherman) favor a proposition to inervime the bulk. log circulation without withdrawing Circulation in some t Cher from.

'They were the least objectionable. Being payable on de. mend, they 'might be preaented to the Tresusnry when most inconvenient. They draw interest and are mainly held in eastern banks, where circulation is In excess. By their payment the United States eaves three per cent. interest, and will net three per cent. taxes I n new banks to be organized, and thus leave the currency without either expansion or contraction. The remaining prepositions Of the bm authorised, be laid, free banking, or coin notes. Tide was an *inauguration of a true system of banking, embracing ab solute security to the noteholders and the United States. The agency of private corporations, as hanks, to give flexibility to currency and to meet the ebb and flow of exchange, its redemption on demand in gold coin and freedom from monopoly or restrictionsiexcept such as are noes. nary to protect its debtors and cred itors. The banks to be authorized will be organized only on the Pacific coast, or in New York and the t3outh, where large transactions are based upon gold values. Mr. Sherman further announced that the possible objections to the bill would befoUowed.let. dire, time by a bill for funding the public debt and for the re. vision of the internal revenue tax and tariff. Mr. DAVIS remarked that the chief feature or gold notes was dependent upon the facility with which they were redeemed. To make them equal in val ve to gold their certain and prompt re demption must be secured when pre sented by holders to the bank. In case of Oho Bank falling to make them equal to coin, the Government moat be ready and able to step In and redeem the notes. Mr. SHERMAN replied by reference to the 4th section of the bill, requiring every national bank to keep ow:hamlet least 2.5 percept. of its circulation in gold or silver coin. Then, too, the taw under the present system was thit If the Dote was presented to the bank and not paid, the holder might at once present It to the Government., which would redeem it within twenty days. The banks were bound to redeem-their notes at the cen ire of redempt [emend the same general 'principle that' applied to circulating notes applied also to gold notes. • Mr. HOWE delivered a lengthy &Mu. ment in review of the financial proposi tions which had been suggested. He advocated the proposition to allow legal tenders to be funded in six per cent. bonds, redeemable at the pleasure of the Government, conferring the privilege of funding to those who will use the bonds as a bads for new bank circulation, and giving preference to those portions of the country which may from time to time be deficient in circulation. Ho eimpisined. . • , the Government eimpellet -Public creditors to carry Its own overdue obligations and made them no compensation for so doing, and the pending bill did not attempt to right the wrong. He complained that the amount in circulation was limited by inflexible law, and this wrong the pending bill would perpetuate. The franchise of banking was a monopoly, arbitrary, tultatly distrituted among I a few to the exclusion of many. -But the pending bill created a new monopo ly. It also proposed to silence the corn. Wets that the south and west were de nied equal rights under the law, by ding ing to them the pittance of 145.000,000 to growl over among themselves. Above all legitimate trade was Imperilled sod hones effort demoralized by man who are dally making contra to for future delivery of gold. While this bill would charter great corporations to engage in that very business, he would have a law which declared the gold gambler a crim loll and consigned him to the peniten bary.for life. But this bill proposed to lieenae.him,se.l:llol o pilltrede under the unction of the racrediaw. • Mr. SUMNER believed the prop Lion to supply P 6,000,000 additional .would not ; meet... Present ,retrareenents. The prepbsition tolnovide a National currency of coin notealmnitnted asystem of free banking upon a specie basis, which was imposaible until we, had specie payments: Beattie., this would create a currency In addition to that of greenbacks and , gold notes.

It was an entire assumption on the part of General Terry and hie subordinates, and was utterly lawless. Governor Bullock had intro duced a railroad master, who had not been elected to any legislature, to pre. side over the Legislature. He hoped he was not misinformed In being told that Gen. Sherman and Gen. Grant were stoat sending a special meake n ger to correct these illegal proceedings. Mr. BUTLER, of Massachusetts, de fended the Executive and Gen. Terry. He said Gen. Terry had only done what Gen. Meade done on the first organiza tion of the Georgia 'Legislature-under taken to find what members were eligi ble. That wag authorised by all the reoonedruotion acts. Mr. BROOKS asked Mr. Butler to point to the acts giving. such authority. Mr. BUTLER said be was ready to give all that information on the principle of the carpenter testifying in court, who was asked how far he was from the place where the incident ()marred, and answered four feat two and • half inches from it, and being tusked, how be knew -that ao 40. eurately, refdled that he thought some fellow would be fool enough 'to ask him that question and be measured It. [ Laughter.] He referred to Sec. 11 of the Act of July 19,1887, Oil:weather. Up to the General of the Army to act In' this reconstruction batter. He knew there had come up a report from the As. iodated Press of the Booth—which Paver reported in favor of loyalty, but always In favor of - secesaltm and rebellion, and• he hoped to see that monopoly . put . down —that General Terry had organized a Military maim's don -to try a member of the Georgia Legislature, but that was not so. He. be had only appointed a board of goy. erntuent officers to find out who were hot eligible. itte spoke whereof he knew wnen be armed that the action of Gen. Terry had been and would be sustained by the administration, and thattleorgla would be constructed in the interest of loyalty. Mr. MOrtGAN protested against these accumulative acts of usurpation, not only on the part of Congress, but on the part of the Executive. . After • thriller discussion between Messrs. Butler, Morgan, 'Voorhees, and others, the papers were referred to the Committee on Reconstruction. VIDAIDI4 ADMISSION DILL. Mr. IFARNSWORTII moved to pa over all Intervening business on the Speaker's table, In order to take up the Virginia bill, with the *nate amend ments. Mr. ELDRIDGE Inquirid whether any Opportunity for debate was to be given? Mr. FARNSWORTH declined to make law Promisee on the satinet. 9 - The motion was agreed to, the Demo crats voting in the negative. The bill wag then taken up and the Senate substitute was read. Mr. FARNSWORTH moved to concur in the Senate substitute, not, however, became. II Its provisions were presented originally he would have au ported I them. Some of them be thought very bunglingly drawn, and they would do more harm than good; but he made the mama because he thought to throw the queetlon open again to the ass of disco"- ston, and to keep Virginia longer out of representation, would be a greater evil than to adopt the Senate bilL Mr. COX asked whether the passage of the Senate MU would not be yielding up the position of the House, without even the chance of II mmittee of Conference/ Mr. FARNSWORTH . replied that was a question for the Hone°. Mr. BINGHAM said It would be borne on the journal of the House that more than three to one of the memtera bad declared for' the admission of Virginia without con. ditions That vote would coot. mend itself to the approval of the coun try He had no apology to make here Er elsewhere for the position which he bad been assuming, and which he now rent. orated, that It was not in the power of Congress, by exacting fandamentatton datum in the admission of a State.M en , force what could not Do legitimately enforced on all otherStetes. That being 113, he asked tbd the Sate of Virgil:de De admitted under the Senate bill. He eti logised the constitution of Virginia as being more liberal that the constitution of any State west of the Alleghenies. If he thought that under this bill Virginia could be subjected to conditions which might not be imposed • on New York er Ohio, he never would vole for the bill. Mr. COX suggested the Senate bill was se obnoxious as the bill reported by the Reconstruction Committee, and which was voted down by the Howe. Mr. BINGHAM replied it was not quite so obnoxious. He hoped the House would concur In the Senate amendment. His chief purpose was to state to the gentlemen on his own side , of the House— Mr. BUTLER. Mass...-Which side Of the house is that?

Dear —, It 11 now several years since I first saw your sweet face-flit before my enraptured gaze. causing this perverse heart of mine to vibrate with the keenest and exquisite emotions that have ever agitated the breast of mortal since the . days of Adam. I lovedyou, and through years of trials and vicissitudes has this fond heart kept tune to that sweet melody that was first awakened In me on that auspicious time, hoping against hope that I might once more behold you, and that the fates would relent and let me look Into the depths of those sweet eyes again; but years flew by and still I saw you not, until at last I gave you up as one who had gone to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. Can you imagine what must have been the electrical effect upon me *hen I once more beheld you ? Oh, God, what fervent thanks I gave Thee that my prayer had been heard at last. Now can you read the secret of my actions since your resurrection? And as I hear your dulcet voice once more making mu sic on mine ear comes the old longing to this foga heart of mine, and although the circumstances which surround us look daticand lowering still, I will make an appeal to you, an appeal which your actions toward me cause a' lingering ray of hope to illuminate my path, that this will nut be In vain., I have long wanted to ask you a question, a question fraught with all the Ware welfare of my life. Have you in some remote corner of your heart some tender feeling, and does your thoughts ever revert to me? Do you love s me? Will you answer this all absorbing question the next time we meet? Will you utter that winsome 'yes,' fraught with all the golden dreams of heavenly reams, or will yen pronounce . the dread 'No,' and consign my soul Ig., darkness and despair ?

There are dcc. bays Within deep bay' yet within deep sI, giving an Immense amount of coast line, but a very small amount of navigable lake. The only familiar comparison we can make is to take the hair of an Intricate braid pattern for the toe of a slipper, which will convey "fair idea of the coast lines as to the body of thq lake. There are but a few strums emptying directly into the lake, and these have their rise and flow only fifteen or twenty miles away.
