8. The bill for converting portion ofthe six per
cent. debt, into debt bearing an interest OF fve
per cent which passed the House of Representa-
tives was lost in the Senate. BY the failure to pass
bill last year, in consequence Of The now acknowl
edged error Of Mr.. LOUIS McLANE, the country
lost about ninety thousand dollars. BY the failure
of the Senate to pass this bill it loses like sum.


q. The Colonial bill was lost by the refusal Of the
Senate to agree to an amendment Of the House Of
Representatives, without which the measure would
have humilined this country. And now Great Brit
ain is left in possession of the monopoly OF the nav
igation concerned 10 the intercourse, unless the
President feels himself authorized to close ports
under the act OF March, 1925.


Whatever regret will be felt at the course pursu-
ed by the Senate in the above instances, the people
will derive much satisfaction from knowing that that
Of their immediate Representatives was directly the
reverse Of il.


We must add, as one Of the remarkable insidenis
Of the last Session Of the Senate, that Duff Green
the editor OF paper, notorious for the scurrty
OF its columns and its utter disregard OF all decency
and truth received the votes Of twenty-threc SENA
TORS Of the United States to be the printer Of the
Senate. Nat. Journal

the public by stating the particulars of the oss occasion
ed by Mr. MLanes error alluded above. An exposi.
ton Of this subject might serve good purpose.]
