We act. •
Mr. MORTON said If the State of Min.
newts was te be allowed more banking I
capital, the additional facilities should
be given to citizens of that State who
were , ready and: willing to taker them,
Instead of authorising the transfer thereof
to other Stabs
Bir. CONKLING believed the amend.
meet objectionable, because of the un
certainty and confunlon to result from it.
Practically, after aportioning the present
sdditional volume of circulation among
Staters now deficient, any bink might by
the amendment ramose to increase cir
culation; but no provision was made in
regard to the amount of the excess to
be:allowed.. _
The Senate then adopted the 'amend.
ment—yeas, 49; ney6.1.3:
• The former amendment of Ur. Morton,
to fix the additional amount of eircula.
lion at 02,000.000, 'was then reneWed.

as to 'authorize an issue of 1100,000,000;
while preventing any diminution or in
crease of. - circulation by substituting
bank note* for legal tendeis. If banks
wine not darted under this propcultion,
no, greenbacks would be withdrawn: but
if Clanks were started, then an amount of
greenbacks equal to the amount of new
cirtitdatiOn Would have Lobe withdraws.
In:other. words, he said If thin entire
.100,000t000 was taken, - .we would be
brought 4100,000.000 nearer to specie Pay
meat thanvre are to day, a Mention to
that amount being effected la the pre*.
Out dretfhttitrite edelMtlum the amount
Offlutreinsould itthitto changed in the
slightest clegree. In reply to Mr. Sum
ner he said the amendment was substan
tially similar to that offered by that Sen
ator and was calculated to equalize the
amount of circulation of national banks.
He favored the provision to authorize
banks upon a gold baste.
During the further discassion Mr.
I MORTON opposed :the .amimdmaut of
sin Chandler, because be felt inithdied
that no bill to Rind legal tender notes
that bear no Interest Into an interest

He thought he bad seen the parties,
defendant and proacntrix, before; be-
Boreal he recognised them; first saw
them some time in December, at tit
Whoa . of Dr. Hall, on Grant - Street,
about Erin of the day. Was passing
down Grant Street with Dr;. H. on
the way to dinner': and when op.

Dr. H. Invited him up stairs, saying he
wanted to pay him (Mr. Dictum) some
I money; believed the money was in refer.

him, at to request. Up to this time he

kday,so e time before. Went up stairs;
the tae or showed him Into the medicine

came • again with the parties, inn girl
and , saying the mother of the girl
had home. When they came in
Mr. en was sitting down. (Mr.
Dicke was particular in every detail).
The tctor handed him a pa

want to sign this?" The boy said he dicli
he sald heceuld not write; at the Doe- I

space for than to make their marks.
"When they were through with whater.

words,) the Toiler said, "Now live up to
this contract, go home to your parents,

"At the door," said Mr. D., "the Doctor
gave me two d
it ollars; did net say from
whom he got ,or what it was for."
In answer to Interrogatories by Mr.
Bruce, Mr. D. said he read the-paper be

no remarks to the - parties, or they to
him, at the time; made no charge for
writing the paper, built was pornole the

In further detailing the history of that
interesting paper, he said that Dr. 'Hail

(Mr. D.) said he;ffid not know of any
form in the books, but would see. The
. . .
;next dap the Doctor came. and spoke
again of the paper. Mr. D. said he
preferred having notbirg to do With lt.
The Doctor wild "do it for me." Mr. D.
told him to call back What( an hour. He
I did call In in that time, and theantime
j the paper had Neu prepared, and Mr.
D. handed it to him. It being about noon,
Mr. D. went oat with the D..ctor, on hie
way to dinner.
John Coyle, Esq., who appeared for the
prosecution, crone examined Mr. Dicken,
that as to what took place on the coca.
skin of; Mr. Bruco voilting his office in
company with the defendant. He might
havesaid then, he stated, that he had
not Been the boy previously, or until
within half an hour, in reply to the ac
cusation that ha had married him.
Mr. (Myle asta ho bad been informed
that yesterday morning two papers bad
been
_rep trod, one for the proaccutrix
mid the other for her mother, which they
were naked to sign, without the contents
being made known to them. The papers
were written in behalf of Mr. Dickers
and Dr. Hall. and Mr. Coyle thought an
Wort had been made to tamper with the
prosecuting witness. He desired to in.
terrogate Mr. Dicker' about the matter.
Mr. Bruce did not object, but Mr. Dick.
en thought the Inquiry outside of the
case. The Mayer allowed the Inquiry.
Mr. Dicken understood an affidavit lied
been papered, but not by him; had not
seen it.
Mr. Bruce drew from the witness the
fact that the paper or papers purported
to be a statement of the circumatancee
Connected with the case an they had
•actually occurred." Mr. Dickerdwas
careful to say that he had no hand In
their 'preparation, and did know who
had prepared them; was not present.
and bad. not dictated any of the cements.
Being pruned rather closely. he mild he
believed the papers were Impeded* hie
office, that ha was—present' psisr , ol the
time, and that he Might have mdde some
suggestions as to the contents; he further
believed that Mr. Hatch had some. hand
In their preparation.
The evidence closing with Mr. Diction,
the counsel for the defense, Mr. Bruce,
addressed the Mayor briefly. Be
claimed that the law recognized as mar
ried persons those who lived together as
man and wife, without the performance
of the marriage ceremony by those le
gally authorized, and In the present
ease,
on the strength of the agreement
entered into, the law would protect the
preeecutrix. Dr. Hall and Mr. Dioken,
In the part they had taken in the matter,
bad acted from pure motives, desiring
nothing more than to seek the welfare of
the parties. He therefore caked that the
case be dismissed.
Mr. Coyle had a few words to say be.
fore the case was - dismissed. If Mr.
Dlcken and Dr. Hall had acted from
pure motives, why had they taken such
Pains to excuse themselves '
or to deny
that they had endeavored to establish
the relation of man and wife between the
partiesr. Ho thought, in the face of what
had been developed, from what bad fal
len from the lips of the witneeses for
the defense, it was nothing short of
cheer effrontery to ask that the case be
dismissed.
The Mayor said he would treat the
agreement, the handiwork of Mr. Dick
, an and Dr. Hall, as a nullity, and hold
the defendant to answer at Court the
charge preferred. .
During the bearing a large crowd was
In attendence, the attentien of spectators
being about equally divided between
Mr. Dlcken and the youthful defendant
end prosechtrlx. The former seemed to
realize his poaitlon, and desired to ex
plain away any seeming impropriety of
the part be performed in connection
with the case. Is he a encase, in that

Pursuant to a call issued s few days
since, a number of ministers and lay
men of these cities and vicinity, who
are favorable to the proposed amend
ment of the National Constitution, so as
to have embodied in that huuniment a
m i tr e d recognition of Clod es the source
of all governmental power, dm., mem
, bled in the Pastor's Study of the First
Presbyterian Church, Wood street; yes
terday afternoon at three o'clock. •
The meeting was organised by . calling
Bishop Kerfoot to the chair, and appall:d
ine Rev. John Meldillan Secretary.
Rev. Mr. Stevenson, of Philadelphia,
Secretary to the National Association,
addressed the assembly at considerable
length. Re spoke of the importance of
the proposed amendments In order to
secure the divine favor, and make the
lundantental lawof the nation correspond
with the State Constitutions, moat, if not
allot which contain a recognition of God
as the supreme ruler of the nationa.
Dr. J. T. Prosily - said be bad. been
Identified with the movement Edna) it

hearty approval of the proposed amend
ment& He offered the following emote.
Noe:

himself to all be prftbiildi a witititi:.
He believed- in the: Headshipit . Vhilst
over the datlons,.but , all ellbruilibsger did
not bellev_ti lt,,and
should be Introdticeilthat would produce
division among themselves.
• Dr. Easton was of the opinion that a
recognition of the Word of God. in•
eluded a recognition of all the doctrines
contained in it. If the Headship of
Christ le to he incorporated, why not the
deity, personality and gracious opera
tions of the Holy Ghost?. He believed
Gist Christ was King of nations, but not
in the same sense that he was Sing of
Zion.
Bishop Kerfoot (leaving- the chair)
said this matter had occupied a place in
his mind frequently. But his attention
had been directed to it more particularly
of late. Lie believed that all chrlatian
bonnie should go forth in solid phalanx
amount the blatant Infidelity of the day.
Oee of the ht.( ways of doing this was
to incorp - rrate in the organic law of the
nation a distinct recognition of 'God and
the blessed Saviour. He believed that
this in a chrirelan nation, still he was in
favor of the proposed amendments.
Rev. George P. Hays did not believe
in leaving out a recognition of (theist.
If that Is left mit, then he loses all hie
tire and enthusiasm. If Congreesehcruld
strike It out he would submit 'end take
half aloof rather than get no bleed.
Rev. Mr. Hughes' only fear was that
they would not Boomed In the scoom
pitehment of the end proposed. If they
failed they would then be In a worse
poaltlou than before.
Dr. Sloane was free to confess that a
recognition of God and Ms Word. ould
embrace all that was asked. -
Dr. Miller had given the subject some
thought and be believed the object wan
a proper one. • •
A number of other gentlemen ad. ,
dressed the meeting and proposed sev
eral amendments to the resolution of Dr.
Freshly, but it was carried with some
vsty alight modification, which did not
aiDct Ito definiteness or oleaning.
'rho °Mesa, of the meeting, in bonnet.
tion with the Secretary of the National
Association, were instructed to appiint a
committee to make arrangements for the
convention which Is to meet, probably In
the Academy of Mud; la the month of
March next.
The meeting then adjourned.
