Ience he sought to profit by his own negligence. 'The orixgin of the severe law relating to the campensation of Sub-Treasurars was Whig Jealousy of the Independunt Treasury plan, which wns originally o Democratic inven- tlon. It worked so admlrably in practico that the Whigs when they came into power did not eare {o abolish it, but they hedged about the powers of the Sub-Treasurers ag closely s they could, and this restriction on the compensatlon of Sub-Tredsurers was a concession 1o the opponents of the system, ‘The law of 1846 in thils respect was only a re- enactment of n previons statute. The Sub- ‘Treasurer 18 at o disndvantoge with nearly alt other Federntofticials in the matter of com- missions, The Collector of Customs, for Instance, may recelve commission on dis- Dbursements for public bulldings: tho sub- ‘I'reasurer may not. fence o proposition o short time ago to teansfer the dutles of super- intendence now attached totheformer to the Intter ofticinl in Chiengo was objected to, us it invelved an increnso of responsi- bility withont bringing addltional vay.

It there was reason yesterdny for a sus- plcton that the Funding bill might full to be- come p law, there Is muceh more reason fqr thinking so to=day. In the first pleee, an- other day hag pnssed without bringing the mensure before the Iouse as amended by the Senate. The working days in Congress are reduced practically to thyee, But it Is not merely this new delay that makes the fataof tho blll deubttul. There wasa be- trayal yesterdny ovening when the ef- fort wus wnde to rench the DN of a nervous disposition on the Republlean side to obstruct Hs passage. dvery effort at obstruction that has Leen mmlo durlnir the present sessjon hus sue- ceeded, amd I tho apposition to the Funding blll shall take that shape tho same result may be antielpated, All affulrs In Washingtou seem to be ar- rested for tho thne belng to await some de- termination of the funding problem. 'Tele- grams keep pourlng in upon Senators mwd Represemtatives from all varts of the conn- try to ascertaln wiat the probable ont- como wil be. ‘The wore honest of tho Congressmen have advised their anxiouy constituents to flip o penny a8 quits ns seeurate o gange ns any other for renching o conclitsion. Flnancial agoents on the svot are estimating on the one hand the effect which the practieal protest of tho bunks hns had, and en the othor hand the extent of the ro- sontment which the bank polley has exclied. As nomatter of fact theso Intluences are no longer the controlling elemants in tho con- test. Tho fato of the bHl now turas upon parlimnentary ndvantage on ong slilo or the other, and the position taken Dby the Republicans yesterday on the question of considerntion, and on the taking of « recess, wiileh restored tho status quo for to-day, wis certalnly n strong Indicatlon of a vurpose Lo kil the bill in the Iouse by dilatory tacties, if anything like & provocation shall be pre- sented. ‘Tho readers of Trr FrinuNe have nlready been Informed of the understanding that was reached between the Repudlican and Demo- cratle members of the Ways und Means Com- mittee to the effeet that certain nmendiments shall be offered and voted on In good fuith, Thero are already criminations and recriminations as to Dbyeach of faith In ¢his respect.

However disposed, the Tlnes says, the world may bo to gmlle at the notion of bimetalism being a remedy for munetary difienlties, there can be no question, IL ndmits, as to the reality of some of the apprehensions respecting the present state of tho money market. Among the ciuses of this apprehension thero is fear that the supply of gold from the mines may prove tnsuflicient for the demands now mado upon it, o result of which will be that trado witl ho checked nnd prlees sexionsly contract, 1t 13 admitted that * gold Is for the time In- suftielently supplled for the pyrpase oF main- talning the money market In equitibrinn,” ‘I'he fact i3 poiuted out that within the last tiwwo years the United States hinve absorbed no lesy than $220,000,060 of gold; the gold production of the United States, which Iy now phout $50,060,000 u yenr, hns all been re- tained In 1850-'40), and in cach of those years tho United States have taken about $75,000,- 000 of gold, mainly from England mud France.
