DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS, Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, who has charge of the iil making appropriations for the District of Columbia for the ensuing fiscal year, is still at Work perfecting the bill. He now hopes to com- plete it so as to have it ready to be reported on Monday next. Thus far this bill has not been very matertaily changed from the bill submit- ted to the appropriations committee by the House District committee, THE POTOMAC IMPROVEMENT APPROPRIATION. The House committee on commerce has de- clded not to vote upon the question of theap- Ppropriation for the improvement of the Poto- mac river until after all the other items in tended togo with the river and haroor bill shal have been disposed of. The object of the delay 4s to first find out what the bill will aggregate, and be guided as to what shalj be done with the Potomac according to the amount tie bill calls for, rather than with a view for the sanitary vee St of jVashington or the harbor improve- ment. THE FREE BRIDGE BILL. The Senate to-day agreed to the House request for a oommitte of conference on the Potomac bridge bill, and appointed Senators Withers, McMillan and Rollins as conferees.

PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE LAST NIGHT. ‘The session of the House of Representatives, for the consideration of District business, was thinly attended last night. Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, was in the chair. Mr. Hunton reported a joint resolution ap- propriating $20,000 for filing up and Improving the old canal south of the Capitol, and it was passed. AtMr. Hunton’s suggestion, the House then took up the bilis from the Senate,either original or bills with House amendments. ‘he first was the Hcuse bill, with Senate amendmenis, au- thorizing the employment of an Inapector of ee in and for the District of Columbia. ‘he only amendment made by the Senate was to strike out the Clause which requires the in- Spector to be appointed on the recommendation or ene raver ou The cee ea agreed to and the bill passed. ‘The bill author- izes the Commissioners of the District to ap- poms the inspector, and the regulations are to enforced by the health officer. The next bill was the bill to authorize the District Commissioners to recommend a proper site for the Union railroad depot in the city of Washington, which was returned with the Senate amendments. Mr. O’Netll saic I might as well state here, Mr, Speaker, to the gentleman that I do noi feel like having this bill considered to-night. 1 do not want to make any captious objections Tam not in the habit of doing so. But I prefer to consider it when there isa quorum present in the House. I wouid prefer, therefore, to have the consideration of this bill postponed for the present at all events. Mr. Hunton.—If the gentleman trom Penn- sylvania will allow me to explatn for a moment, re Satisfied that he will withdraw his objec: uon. un YNetlL—I understand the provisions of the bill. Mr. Hunton.—The only object of the bill 13 to enable the Commissioners to recommend a site for this depot. Itdoes not bind anybody or anything. The Commissioners simply recom- mend a site to Congress, which recommenda - ton is simply for the future action of the two Houses. Mr. O'Netll.—I understand very well, Mr. Speaker, the purpose of the bill; still, as f have already sald, I do not wish to have It considered until there Is af"! House present. Many of my constituents are tu! sted In tais matter. Lao not belleve, If we are not in favor of the passage of this bil},1n giving {t any special opportunity,or allowing iniuatory steps to be taken to accom - plish the result which is contemplated by the bill, If ube Commissioners are given tae au thority to recommend a site for this depot, iis the beginning or the inception of a certain en terprise 10 Which we object. If they are a’ lowed to remove certain property In which some Of my constituents are deeply intereste 1, then! believe the best way to prevent that |: to stop the bill at the threshold, and I must insist upon the objection nies there is a quo. rum present, It is a much more important bili thal most of us froagine. Mr. Hunton thereupon withdrew the bill. The original Senate bills were then reach: and the first was the bili to extend the ju diction of justices of the peace in the DIS‘riet of Columbia and to reguiate proceedings befor: them. There was objection 10 the secttoa which prohibited appeals for amounts under $20" and, as Mr. Cobd made the point that there was no qiiorum, Mr. Hunton withdrew that bili also, and !t retains t's place on the calendar. On motion of Mr. Hunton, the Senate bills to increase the police force of the District of Co- lumbia, to reguiate the aud prevent the waste of Potomac water -tils betng the bill to authorize police officers to enter residences to see if water is wasted), and the dill tw provide for funding the eight per cent improvement cer- Uficates of the District of Coluinbla were taken from the calendar and referred lo the District committee. ‘The Senate bill to amend section 553 of the Revised Statutes, relating io the District of Co- lumbla, was passed.

Mr. Bouck, of Wisconsin, sald there was no use attempting to take up that bill, for he for one would not per- mit it to without aquorum Mr, Samford explained the bill, and stated the circumstances under which Mr. Corcoran had sold it. “Mr. Cobb, of Ind! Opposed the bil, and said that in the District of Columbia Qprro) ration bili Provision was made for the disposition of the square. He believed it better to keep the lot for school purposes.

He thought there could be no objection 2 the bill, and asked its immediate considera- ton. Mr. Edmuds objected, but upon being apprised of the character Of the bill sald the Dill was one of such special and peculiar interest that he withdrew his objection with pleasure. Mr. Logan said the amendments of the com- mittee consisted in the addition of a provision that the General may be required to do active service, and another that would prevent his in- terfering with any officer of similar rank.

THE CHARTERS OF NaTIONAL BANKS under the national banking law will begin to expire next year, These charters only run for twenty years, Quite a number expire next year. The question of extending the charters or granting NEW ones Will be a subject for Congressional action. In the meantime some of the banks have discovered an ingenuous way of evading the law. The plan consists in first going into liquidation 2s a national bank, eth ered as state bank and then forthwith applying to be converted again intoa national bank with a new charter for twenty years more, but with the old title, ‘This scheme has been successful in several cases. In one case a bank in a single week figured as 4 national bank, a state bank and a new national bank. The new bank has the same title, the same ofticers, notes printed from the same plates, and presumably the same banking house, books and customers as the bank which went lato liquidation. The two banks ditfer only in their organization number, which is printed in large red figures across the face of the note. Nevertheless they are technicaliy two distinct banks. The notes of the old bank, lke those of all other Uquidating banks, are re’ deemable by the United States; while the notes of the new bank are redeemable by rue bink itself through the redemption bureau of ih ‘Treasury department. If the banks generally adopt this eourse, the twenty year limitation on their charters will amount to nothing, and confusion will be introduced into tha bat system.
