LAST DAYS SIT I III4G, ADAMS,
CA MtItiILENG Sc SPEAKJi4t.
• W ASHINIGTON, Oct. 16.
.The.Heuse Met at .8 o'clock, and a quo
rum being present, proceeded to business.
The question being on concurrence in.the
Senate) amendment` to.the bill extending in
dulgence to the Deposite banks, (declaring
the time at which payment 'of iuterest.On
balances doe shiill_conimence, viz. from the
date of any default or neglect to pay any
draft or requisition of the Treasury)
- Mr. HAYNES said a few . ..words en the
amendmeni tn .: relation to itri application on
ly to banks whidi
,had been delinquent--
This excluded from the Provision's of the
bill entirely those which had not been drawn
upon at all. •
Mr. ADAMS spoke with warmth op.
position to the
. hill and 'amendment. jts
previsions having reference to the first sec
thin of the NI, would, in effect, apply not to
banks which were delinquent,hut involved the
abserdity ef . applying it only tofinDltl which
were'not delinquent. Mr. A. said he .had
demonstrated this at a prelims' sitting to
the conviction, he believed, of every one
who had heard him. •The chairtnan of,the
Coffin - 14th° of WayeDed Meads had.not so
much as attempted to answer the argument.
'And, M r. A. now declared, in the presence
of this,Houseoltat if this.bill was to go forth
to the nation with that section in it, it would
be a disgrace ciur The first
section :of the bill extended 'relief 'to those
banks only which were not delinquent; and,
as the emendnient;hadreferenee to the same
banks, it would, in fact, have no operation
at all,,pniess Rein a
_construptive power
the Secretary qC the Trocisary, and a, fraud
fel application of it 'to _welt :Winks as were
deljnattept, If the obstinate perseverance
of the chairman of the ComMit tee of Ways
and *ails inforcing this bill through the
House with,thisubylous absurdity emits face
was to sueceed, it shopld not tient least with.
out opposition on the
,part of Mr, A. Ile
would read
,thefirst section once more, and
would demonstrate, . second time, ,that it
had reference only to banks which were not
delinqeent. _Let the" chairm_an,,cried Mr.
A., ,answer MP, if .he san. fMr. A. here
read the sectiqn referred to.] What a pow
er, said-he, is here given to the Secretary
of the Treasury! The power of,selectino
and discriminating between bank and baret 4
at his . pleasure; of refusing to apply the hen,.
ofite-of the Eta to tiny bank he chose.; for,
be _might reply to its application for relief,
“You,have not •complied
. with the requisi
tions of the Department, arid therefore you
cannot ho relieved." While, when a simi
lar application was Diode .by :mother bank
whom he wished to favor, .pass
over the, mutter in perfect-silence and grant
the request. It gawhim the power of
double construction; and .under that power
he might,sclect any bank he.chotae to ride,
riro,any,other he chose .to save, kind apply
the one construction or the other as beet
suited his purpose. It carried either fraud
or alistirdov upon its face.
Mr. A. ;hen went into a recapitulation ef
whet had ,passed iD_the House on Saturday •
in relation to the bill, ,characterizing the
amendment offerer'. by . Mr. „Loomis; of New
yor4,.as.proposing nothing but simple, rig. .
orous, abstract justice to the States which
had ,beep injured by the postponement of
the depositeS, by requiring that, the banks
of those. States 'which held large amounts of
Dieney which would but for that postpone
_ment have gone to other States, should pay
legal interest for its use. The subsequent
amendment offered by Mr. Johnson, of Lou.
,isiana, he referred to a consummation of
the bargain which, he said, had been, with
so much decency, consummated in the face
of the House between the. Chairman of the
f2ommittee of Ways and Means and certain
gentlemen from Louisiana, whose votes he
wanted to pass his postponement bill.
Mr. RICE GARLAND here interposed.
Does the gentleman` refer to me 1
Mr. ADAMS. I refer to no individual
whatever.
Mr. R. ; GARLAND,' Am I the gentle..
pawn trorn Louisiana referred tog
Mr. ADAMS. I did not allude to him
more . than to other gentlemen coming from
those ;States where this,money lies. I had
no particular reference to,one of them more
than to another.
Mr. CHAPMAN. lam the only other
Pen4lor from Louisiana. I made no bar
gain of any sort abOu't the matter. I have
been. no-devoted friend to the measure (ruin
its inception to- its consummation. The
gentleman, therefore, cannot refer to me.
Mt. ADAMS.' I did not allude to that
gentleman—far from it, I are fully aware
that be preferred that the bill should not
pass I' would to God that all the -gentle-,
medcOniing from the States most interested
. could say the same. I repeat that the bar.
gain was pointed Obt by the gentleman from
eorgul• (W* paWBOO,) and nenttogent
EWE
fins, alt aiin , iii trig . titnil It look
plane, and ) further, : that. tali this
amendment to be that consummation of that
bargain. When it was proposed, in corn.
mittee, that the bill to postpone the depos
ites Should be laid .aside until this bill for
the relief of the bangs should first be acted
,upon, the chairman of the committee did
openly. pledge himself, when resisting that
arrangement, that those banks should be
liberally dealt with : and here we have the
fulfilment of that pledge,
Mr,. CA MBRELENG. Is it in order to
refer, in the House, to what passed in Com
mittee of the Whole
The SPEAKER was replying when Mr.
Adams said he hoped the Chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means would not
be suffered to put him down. lie should
declare the disgraceful scene, whatever in
tweet that gentleman might have in shut
ting his mouth. •
The CHAIR here pronounced it wholly
out oforder to refi'r, in the House, to what
had been said or done in Committee of the
W hole.
Mr.. ADA MS ,then ,said he would put a
case,—and would suppose that certain facts
had transpired,
,not here, but in another
Legislature—in the
,moon, if gentlemen
pleased. He then repeated what he had
before stated rug . ° the history of - the amend.
meats to the. hill, When the amendments
:were still
. pending, the ,o bjections all urged,
and none of.them answered, the bill had
been laid aside, other bills had been taken
up, when the committee rose arid reported
. progreis on the whole. Immediately there
upon itilud been moved by a member from
Maine, that the Committee era° Whole be
discharged.from the further consideration
of this bill; the effect of which was to cut
off the amendment of the gentleman from
New York,
.(Mr. Loomis.) The amend.
men! 'of the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr.
Jehnson),was then offered„ankanstantly on
.its adoption the chairpan.olthe.Cenimittee
of Ways and Means sprang to his feet and
. demanded tbo previous question,And, the bill
was thus passed almost by acclamation.
Now the bill come back from the-Senate
with en amendment,whili would render the
whole either opalpoblefabsurdityor else an
-instrument of froud. And this was the way
in which the businos.s of this whole session
had been conducted; a session which had
been, called for the purpose of organizing an
entirely new system of_financofor thecoun.
try. The .House had .sanctioeed a.seriesot
measures all.tending to this object; .but the
most pernicious rind cruel of them all
,had,
he thanked God, .been. laid upon the table.
At least a respite had thus been oforded to
the nation, abreothing spell, before it End
imposed upon it thatstate of servitude which
the .system,.if successful, would not have
fatled.to fastenupon it. Ile nrivipaid, open.
in the lace orthe Bons°, that whenever
objections, hovveyerstrong, find been,urged '
,against .the ,system ef,measures,which .had
originated,in,theVrensuryovith the excep•
tion of a few petty paltry amendments pro
posed.by,the chairman of the Finance Com•
pittee,tilat_gentlernon,lia.l no othir,reconrse
,ag,ainst them but. to call:uponiiis.party .to'l
",toe Jhe_marli;" that had been his answer,
and .his ; whole answer, to every orpiment.
That haiibeen the history.of the session.—
The chairman of the Committee of.-Ways
and Means, the, minister of the Executive,
4he,Chancellor_of.the Exchequer, Who was
hereto carry into effect•the receipts'of 2 the
Treasury .Department,.h.ad.no other answer
friskily objeeticips„either in grossor in detail
than this cry of e'too the mark." Mr. A.
had inked .of him what part .of•this hill are
plied to delinquent banks? -W but it was that
by the lilt the _United States gave up? And
he had ,been utterly unable to answer; yet,
frods his,official situation, it was his place to
answer inquiries put to him in elation to the
Public • measures lie brought forward. His
.only reply had been to get the bill maid aside„
to consummate his bargaiti,,and , then-to call
the prtwien3
_question. Such had been his
course throughout; and Mr- A. could not
stiffer the session to comet° adage, without
exposing.and denouncing it to the country.
Had the systemoriginatcdintleaven,(which
seemed to be the very contrary place to that
in which" it did originate,) questions, of a
relevant nature, „and properly presented,
.might be asked of him who brought'it into
the-House; and it wasbis official duty to res
pond to them, and to give his reasons if any
he had; but nothing of th is had been done at
all. He .lied got the deposite postponement
bill passed,,after attempting to force' it dim'
the Reuse in its original form, by admittirig
the minimum amendments, and excluding
.evers other. •
- -4 1'hiiVHAIR here admonished 'SG: 'A.
that the deposite bill could not now be die.
cussed; it.was not before the House.
Mr. A. I consider each and all of these
bills as part and parcel of one System, and
therefore—
The SPEAKER. This is a question of
concurrence witb the amendment or -the
Senate tea different bill: it has no connex
ion with the deposite law; and it is out of
ordertodiscuss that law at this tune.
Mr. A. Does the Speaker deny that these
measures constitute one system? Does he
decide that this bill and amendment are not
part of that system?
The SPEAKER. The Chair is not call
ed to decide that question. This is not the
deposite bill: and the deposite bill cannot
now be discuased.
Mr. A. I was pot discussing the depot3ite
bill. I was connecting the other measure
with that now before the House: I was show.
ing its connexion with this bill and amend
ment. They are so connected that they can
not be separated: and 1 was deriving an ar
gument against concurring in this amend
ment from external objects, and the anti.
deposite law among others.
The SPEAKER here said that if it was
the object of the gentleman to connect it with
the present subject,and there could be shown
to existsuch a connexion,it would be in order
to introduce it: but the Chaircould perceive
no connetien:. - He would leave it to the judg
meot of the gentleman from Massachusetts.
Mr. CAMBRELENG said he did not
hear the decision of the Chair; lithe gen.
tleman from Mao. was out of order,he hop
ed he would clot be permitted to proceed.

The SPEAKER said that when a mem
ber was so repeatedly out of order as to be
directed by the Chair to take his seat, the
rule was as the gentleman from New York
had stated. But in the case of the gentle.
man from Massachusetts, the Chair had ab
stained from interposing by an absolute com
mand, as he was empowered by the Rules
to do : and the gentleman was therefore at
liberty to proceed if he confined himself to
the subject before the House.
Mr. A. Out of tenderness to the Chair
man of the Committee of Ways and Means,
I -say no more.
Mr. CA MBRELENG. All I shall say
in reply is, that as that gentleman has re.

Mr..LiNCOLN

bill and amendment on the table; and as, by
the Rules, . this question lakes precedence,
the gnostical ryas put upon laying on the
table.
Mr RICE GARLAND honed the.mo
lion would be withdrawn, that he might
have an cpportunity of replying to the very
unjustifiable attack made by the gentleman
from Massachusetts upon the members from
Louisiana.
Mr..LINCOLN. declined ; and the ques
tion was thereupon put to the House, and
decided. in the negative.
The call for ..the previous question was
seconded—Ayes 87, Noes 37.
The previous_ question was

reason is, that they hare none out? All the
issues they make are of country Safety-fund
notes. This is humbußglng in a few form.
The Partner's and Mechanics Bank of Al
bany has resumed specie payment in the
same way. So have the street beggars,the
apple women, and hot corn negro girls, re
sumed specie payments. They pay specie
on all the bills they have out.

TEISTNESSEE.—The Legislature of Ten
nessee commenced its annual session on
Tuesday 3rd inst. and on the following day
the Message of Governor Cannon was com
municated to both Houses. I . t is a business
document, going straight forward to the
several important points discussed, and corn
pressed within readable limits. The follow
ing short paragraph on the general state of
affairs as superinduced by the tinkering ex
periinents on the currency, will shew the
wheivabouts of Gov. Cannon on the ques
tions therein involved. These bold truths
put forth by the patriotic. Governor of Ten
nessee, must have had somewhat other than
a soothing abet, when they fell upon the
ear of the old Roman. Gov. Cannon says:
"It has fallen'to our lot to taste the bitter
fruits of an experiment upon the currency,
which in the midst of the highest state of
prosperity, has brought upon us a sudden
revulsion and total derangement of the mon
' etary concerns of the country. How long
and to what extent we may be doomed to
suffer under this state of things, must main
ly depend upon the action of the General
Government, by whose mistaken and un
wise policy. this calamity has been inflicted
upon us." •
The message is very earnest in drawing
the attention of the Legislature to the im
portant subject of education, and that, as
well as the Subject of internal improvements,
is made to occupy a considerable portion of
this document. In reference to the peniten.
tiary establishment in Tennessee, the exec
utive speaks very favorably, and takes occa
sion to recommend, as a' humane and en
lightened improvement in the penal code of
that State, the entire abolition of capital
puuishment, and the substitution therefor of
confinement at labor in the penitentiary du
ring life. With regard to the Tennessee
volunteers, the Governor speaks in high and
just terms of praise, on' the alacrity and
promptitude with which the recent calls on
behalfof the national defence, were respond
ed to throughout that State. •
COST OF THE FLORIDA WAR.—Without
referring to what this unprovoked and cer
tainly unnecessary war has cost the Ameri
can people in point of character and of mor
al feeling—an amount not to be appreciated
in dollars and cents, and without taking into
account what it has cost in human life and
human sufferings, let us look for one mo
ment at the comparatively inconsiderable
item of its cost in HONEY, derived from the
pockets of the people, and disbursed by the
government in carrying it on.
We attempt making by . Mr. Wise, in

"lndian troubles. ---We have understood
that there is some 'probability of difficulties
with the . Osages, on the frontier of the state.
information has been received that the In.

SUSPECTED M UEDER.—The city of,Chi.

great excitement. on the 24th ult., by the
discovery that a young lady had been Sedu

Jenkins, abortion effected, under which she
perished, and the body carried to Michigan
City, a distance of half a day's sail, for in

the remains were disinterred, and arsenic
found in the stomach. The physician who
attended her, as well as her sister, Mrs.
Jenkins, left the place. A legal investiga

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.
Tut ADJOIIRNMENT.—The first Session
of the Twenty•fifth Congress was yesterday
dosed, befine 10 o'clock, by an adjourn
ment of both Houses to the fist Monday in
December next.
A correct list of The Acts passed at the
session which has just passed, will be found
below.
We are happy to have it in our power to
congratulate the country, not only that an
independent spirit has been shown, this ses
sion, both at its commencement and at its
close, by the body which immediately rep
resents the People, but that there has an ev
ident improvement taken place in the com
position, character, and manners of the
same assembly. There has been a constd
erable accession of talent, both youthful and
mature, in the House of Representatives.—
It has been a source of honest joy to those
who, with all its errors, have cherished an
attachment to the House of the People,_ to
see such men as the HOFFMANS, the LE.
GABES, and the MENIFEES—we cite these
names, out of many, only as significant of
the general improvement to which we refer
—occupying seats in that Hall, along with
elder members of tried ability and. experi
ence. - The debates in that body, during the
se'sion which has just closed, will well com
pare, both for solidity - and brilliancy, with
those of any previous sessiOn. A great im
provement in the appearance, also, of the
House, when in session, has been wrought '
by some amendments of its Rules, and es
pecially by that which requires the mem
bers to sit uncovered, &c. On the whole,
this session of Congress has left more of
grateful, and fewer of unpleasant, reminis
cences behind it, than any session that has
been held for many years.
Of the composition of the Senate, it is
not necessary lor us to speak, no change
having taken place in it since itb last ad
joirrnment. It is proper to state; however,
that if the debates in the other House have
been more than usually able,_those in the
Senate have at least fully maintained the
character of wisdom and eloquence, which
public opinion, for several years, has justly
awarded to that branch of the National Le
gislature.--. Nat. hatch
