Among the measures on which the United . Statos Senate took unfavorable action ou Wed? nesday evening, was the amendment to the ?jQrnl, Appropriation bill reported hy the Com? mittee on Appropriations to give $20,000 to the ' 'Charleston Sisters of Mercy for tboir services ?toward the Union prisoners during the war. .'.-> Mr. Drake opposed the appropriation, and ? Mr. Sawyer advocated it. Mr. Howard alluded , to the cir eu hr letter of the Pope during the . Rebellion, which he declared to be positive ?proof of the desire of the Pope for the success .?f the Southern Confederacy. That letter had great'influe,, .'e on the members of that faith, and but few if any of them enhsted into our armies. It was not too much to say that tho whole influence of tho Roman catholic bishops and priests was arrayed on tho side of the rebels, for which reasou we had to offer im? mense bounties to fill up our armies. These . {Sisters of Mercy bolunsrcd to the same sect, and he did not think their case at all a merito I rioua one. Mr. Hendricks defended th 3 members of tho ' Catholic church from the imputation of disloy ? ally, and said it was not true that a few of them had gone into the army-he had ob? served in Indiana tbat there were large num? bers of enlistments among members ol that j church. j Mr. Frehnghuysen said this was either a . just claim or it was a gratuity, aud to como j from Charleston, of all places in the world. If these Butera were to be paid, then all tho Christian commissions and all the chaplains would have to be paid too. [Applause and hisses in the galleries.] Mr. Pomeroy could not look at this thing in any narrow or sectarian spirit. So far as his experience went, the Pope's letter had no in? fluence on our adopted citizens of the Catholic faith; they bad enlisted very freoly in his State, Kansas. Mr. Sherman read from a letter of Governor Scott, of South Carolina, in favor of the appro? priation, and commending highly the Sisters. Mr. Drake said there was no proof of the loy? alty of the Sisters. The amendment was then rejected-yeas 20, navs 22. AFFAIRS IN THE STATE. _ York. . .TheTforkville Enquirer says : "Mr. S. N. Han? na, of this county, succeeded in making seven -iumdred pounds of hot cotton on one acre and a quarter of land last year. There was uo i special fertility m the laud; but tho eff.-OG was produced by the application of ten dollars' worth of commercial man tires. Without this stimulus, the laud would, not havo produced much more than half the amount of hut, or at . the outside, four huadrod pounds. The in .cteused production, therefore, is throe hun? dred pounds, which, at the low prioe of fifteen cents, would be worth $15, and at the present prices, over $80." Kershaw. The Camden Journal h as ?he foliowiae para . graphs: On Friday morning last, the ground was covered with snow, but it disappeared be? fore night. Since then the weather has been . very cold, with heavy frosts aud freezes. Many , fruit trees had pot forth their blooms, and we fear the fruit has beon 11 '1 ed. Our town presented quite a lively appearance on Monday last. The large sale of the lands 'of the estate of the late Captain John Chesuut attracted a large concourse, among whoai the '?roedmen predominated, many of them sup " posing that the tuno had arrived for their ob? taining the long expected "forty acres." Tho , tract of six thousand acres being divided into small parcels, and the terms liboral, the bid? ding was spirited. The prices obtained were ; full y equal to what the lands would have brought before the war. A few freedmen were '.fortunate enough to gratify their desire to buy , a home. -Sumter. ;d Tho Sumter jail has now but one occupant other than the keeper. The Sumter News says: "Monday last being sale-day a loree number ol persons were pres? ent from varions parts of this and the adjoin? ing counties. Property sold well, and the in? creasing confidence in the returning prosperity of the South was manifested by better prices ' for all commodities sold than had provious'y been obtained.

The system ol national banka is defective in two particulars : 1. In the limitation of thc issue of notes ; 2. In tho discrimination be t wo n the two classes of creditors-noteholders and depositors. Let us take these in their or? der. Experience on the first of these hoads is ample. Tho limitation of tho issue would ap? pear to have been copied from the restrictive clause of tho act of thc 7th and 8th Viet., en? titled "An act to rebate the issue of bank notes, and for {riving to tbe governor and com? pany of the Bank of England certain privi? leges for a limited period;" in other words, called Peera act ol' 1814. This act was sus? pend :d on two occasions, in 1847 and 1857, on account of its too restrictivo character. It compollcd tho Bank of England to separate into two departments tho functions of bank? ing, to wit: an issuing and a banking depart? ment; tho former of which were to issue notes for ge. I to tbe cxtont of ?14.000 OOO, and gold, for i<>tC8 to thu same amount. The amount of notes was to fluctuate with the variations tbat would attend a metallic cunoucy. The effect of this regulation waa that when there was an influx of gold'from a favorable balance of trade, tho bank note currency of the Bank of England was propor? tionately increased, money became superabun? dant, the rate of interese fell, speculation and overtrading took place, followed by distress and numerous bankruptcies. On thc contra? ry, when there was an efflux of gold, from an unfavorable balance of trade, arising oitber from an import of corn in consequence of a deficient harvest or largo foreign loans plaoed on tbe Eng'ish market, money became scarce, the rate of interest rose, speculation was arrest? ed, credit waa curtailed, followed, at timos, by hoarding.* Thero aro two sources of financial disturb? ance. I. An ex'.crnal drain ot specie. 2. An internal cluain. The first may arise from seve? ral -anses. 1. From overtrading, producing an unfavorable balance of trade, and requiring an export of specie to adjust the balance. 2. From a deficient harvest aud an export of spe? cie to pay for imported corn. 3. From tho ne? gotiation of foreign loans, which abstract spe? cie, either from tbo hanks or the circulation. An internal drain arises from alarm and panic which loads to ho rding. England has expe? rienced these evils to a greater extent than any country in Europe, and occasionally all of thom ut tbe same time. The act of 184i, reel's act, wis intended to guard against ? nd prevent the recurrence of one of these evils-spoculaiion and over trad? ing, supposed to arise from an over issue of Bank of England notes. Wo say supposed to arise, for ampio inquiry Ins ostabhshed the fact that the ultimate source ot speculation an.I overtrading proceeds from undue extension of credU, and that tbo proximate cause or causes of euch unduo extension of cre-dit aro pro? duced more largely from other forms of credit besides bank notes, such as bills of exchango, deposits, book debts, &c. I* was a mistake, then, in the framers of Pool's act to pr?vido against speculation by limiting tho issues or the Bank of Eng? land, and it was .a worso mistake in the framers of the Bank act of -ho United States to adopt the limitation of the amount of the issues of the national banks, for this obvious reason, that when absolute necessity required thc suspension of the Brit? ish acton two occasions-m 1847and 1807-thc the British Ministry had only to give a letter or order authorizing the directors of the Bank of England ta suspend the act; whereas if a similar suspension were required of our bank? ing law as regards the limitation in question, it could bo done by no loss authority than that of Congress, aud bet?re that body could bc as? sembled, and tho power given to enlarge tho lirnit, numerous bankruptcies might t uko place. lt is not difficult to demonstrate that such a limitation destroys tho most valuable property of bank notes, to wit, their elasticity. lt is when a deficiency of the circulation is produc? ed by an efflux ot specie, or by hoarding, that tbo expansion of paper money becomes a val? uable auxiliary to credit. Le: us suppose ?5, OOU.OOO ($25,000,u??) in gold withdrawn from tho Bank of England; tho bank increases tho rate of discount to arrest tho further outflow of ber gold. This of courso contracts tho cur? rency. Lot us also supp iso that a panic arises and gold to nu equal amount is abstracted from its vaults for tho purpose of hoarding; tho joint stock batiks and bankors at tbe name time increasing their reserves. This double drtiu would lead to a hiatus of ?10,000.000 (J?O.?OJ, 000) in the currency. How is this hiatus to bo filled uu'ess by an issue of au equal amount by tho Bank of England ? Aud bow is this to tako placo undor tho restriction limiting thc issuo of notes to a stated and arbitrary amount ? Then let us supposo tho opposite stato of things. Let us imagino a favorable balanc J of trade and an influx of gold, the deposits of the Bank of England and of the joint stock banks and private bankers to increase. What course of policy should thcro DO pursued by tho Bank of England ? The augmentation of tbo depo? sits is a sure sign of tho abundance of money. lt might am?me t to a plethora. Does no. com? mon sense d?ctalo that tb? excess of gold should not bc employed to augment the cur? rency ? Yet thia is prceisely what the British law says ought to be done. Its principle ia to keep the notes on an equality in amount with tbe gr'ld- -as it increases to increase the notes; j as it diminishes to diminish them. Tho practice of thc Bank of England is to invest its surplus of gold.in exchequer bills, and not in bills of exchange or in promissory notos, so as not to interfere with the jo nt, stock banks ana pri? vate bankers iu tho discount of mercantile bills. But what is this but to add to tho cir? culation which is already full to repletion ? Is not the proper courso to lot tho surplus poid remain in a passive stato, even losing tho in? terest on it until tboro is a domaud for it in consequence ot an unfavorable exchange? Aud then it will flow out without effort of any kind, either in payment for imported coin, to (ill a Russian loan, or to redress an unfavorable balance of trade. Under the British system, the condition of merchants and all those classes dependent on them for emuloymotit, wdl be much moro favorable than under the national bank sys? tem, for the reasons already gi von. It is obvi? ous from this train of facts and course of rea? soning, that the restriction imposed on these banks, by which they are limited to an issue of three hundred millions of dollars, by which all discretion is withheld from them when neces? sity imperatively requires expansion and not restriction, is not cousouant with principles of sound banking. As regard tho other defect of these institu? tion, the discrimination mado between de? positors ard .^oUholders, in protecting tho lat? ter from lona, oy such security aa is afforded by a deposit of (Jmted States bonds, it amounts to a palpable violation of justice; but wo have not left ourselves space to-day to mako any comment on it. - J. N. C. *It affords a remarkable illustration of tho error of tho position that none but practical men are com? petent to deal with questions which ?nvolw ku -w led^o of detail* with the knowledge oi prineiplee. The Bullion Report, issued in 1810. was framed by some of tis most eminent men in th? British Parlia? ment-Horner, Huskisson, 1 honiton, 4c. 'That re? port, which omb.BCQd the mos; scientific a;pcajt;<,>p ?i tao priuciploa of currency ever made In England", contained, among its other important truths, the following: '-Thatr. uiixe? currency, eomaosi-d of the precious metala an?! paper, should flue uate or vary m amount exactly as o .o constituted exclusively of gold and silver would fluctuate or vary " T his prin? cipio, which is ono o? undoubted trutti, in a theoreti? cal point of view, is impo.-Bib e in practice. Those concerned in framing the act of 1S44. cm monly coiled Peel's uct, mado thc great mistake ot misapplying tue above theorrti al principio in iramiug hat law, as they suppose! that tho t?mpo? ra' y variation- in the value of gold, instead of its permanent variations should be tho guide ol' the duectorsof tho Bunk ot England iu their ssue of note?. Among tl c more prominent fra ers of that act were, in addition to Sir Robert Pcol, Jones Loyd, au ?. ciment English b inker sud writer, Henry Thornton, a no ic.a eminent bai ker or merchant, also a distinguish- d writer on currency, an I Colonel Torrens, another .-minent uulhor on banking and curroner. Here, iheu, (lien were a', least two poe? tical mon encaged m the UBk or framing an act tor tuc regulation of i be lin tish currency, which was twice suspended in ten years, in 1847 and 1857, fro? ile too restrictive character. But what is still more remarkable is tho fact, that thc g catest defect of tho liw remained to bc dis? covered by a writer not conversant wLh the. practice of batiking, bat simply with in theoretical principles and thoso of cirreney, to \. it : J ?bu Stuart Mill. Mr Milt proved (sue his "Principles of Political Economy") th it t> e effect c" th* ;.ct of 18?4 wah to cause a doubl", drain of gold ironi thc coffers ol the Rank of Ei.g.?ud-for exaiutlc, lt thc druin < fu?id wan ?:>.8ii(H'00. lt ??mounted, in reality, to a drain ot ?C,'.00,U0J-three midi?os from the d? posits, and three millions from the reierve of tho Rauk of England. The reason of this is sufficiently obvious. It tho Subsumtion ot notes f r gold wai exactly equal, thc effect of withdrawing Un co minions ot gold from tho deposits of thc Rank of Eng.and would have bei? s'mply the loss or three mdlious; but according to the rule of the bask ot Eu g lau. 1, ta* there never should bc one-third in gold of their liabilities, (their notes and depo.-ita together), it fo lows that in > ddi tion to the thr<-e mill ons ubstneted from its depos? its, it loit three millions et its re-erve making alto? gether six m'lions. Yet tnis result wa?, not torean n by the framers ol ho ace, two ot wuom were practical men. Such wis the cffict of tho m'sarphVabon ot a sound theoretical principle ot ?neb emluei.t men as Pee), Jones Loyd and I honiton. Kxports.
