In thedebate in the Semite of the l nited States, on Thursday last, in Committee ol j the Whole, on the bill to provide a nation- al currency and erpializo its distrihution, j the amendment otl'ered 1 >y Mr. Sumner pending, Senator ."Morrill of this State vin dicated New Kngland from the charge of unfairness in the distribution ol the bank ing capital, and gave a history of the mai ler which presents its fairly. As tliis is a subject of interest to our readers we iptote from Mr. Morrill’s remarks as we find them in the Globe, omitting interruptions j by members and copying only what is most important. j This national currency lias a history. It originated in 1*63. What was the condition ot tiie country then? There are advocates of the South who say that the South has been deprived of her fair and just proportion of the j currency. Why If anybody will tell me why that will answer why it is that there is an un equal distribution of the currency. Everybody knows that the South at the time this system was inaugurated was not in a condition to share in the distribution of the national currency, an 1 that answers that point, I think, satisfac torily. i In 18(13 Congress undertook to institute what was called a banking system, which was to! otablish in thi- country a national uniiorm currency throughout tin* nation. But it was true, as I have said, that the condition of the 1 country did not admit of that completely; it did not admit of an equal distribution of the 1 national currency. Everybody knows, first, that the condition of the country did not ad mit of it. second, that its business affairs did n >t admit of it. While the South was in no condition to share in it at all. the West from its financial condition was in no condition to share in it to the extent that the North and East were. These two general facts in our history account. I say, satisfac torily, for the unequal distribution of the currency, without finding it necessary to say that anybody was corrupt or anybody was particularly at fault either at the other end of the avenue or in New England. These general facts in our history explain the whole thing of the une- qual distribution of the national currency which we are now undertaking to state. Now, let us look at the operation of the law during the first year. My friend from New York 4ia* stated what the law was. It was 1 predicated in this way; first, one half was to be distributed upon population the other upon hanking capital, resources, and business. Everybody could see that that would not he an equal distribution according to population, but this whole debate lias proceeded upon the I idea that New England has been grasping, or by some legerdemain or other New England has got a vast disproportion predicated upon population. That is not the law. The law was population and something else and everybody knows that when you come to the something else. New Eng'aml. with her two hundred years of accumulation and industries, has g**t more of that something else than these other communities which are complaining of New England. So that what I mean to say is that it is not fair to represent this upon the ground of population alone. New England is held up here as having one third of the circu lation when she lias hut one tenth of the pop ulation, or less. But there is another ele ment to he considered. I do not mean to say that it does away with the inequality, but I say it does away with the emphasis w ith which this characterization has been made. 1 Now. sir, what was the operation of the law tor the first year? There were one hundred and thirty-four hanks organized in 1863, New i England taking fourteen. That was not her I proportion, was it? Why did not New Eng land rush with avidity into this system Why, I >ir, she had a system with which she was J content; she had a local system of her own which met all her demands, which was the I precise tiling she wanted, which had proved tor several generations a success, and j she did not want to give it up. That is the truth about it. She wanted to adhere to it. j l'he nation was anxious that site should give J it up. New England did not propose this national system. Everybody who knows the history knows that New England did not do this. New England did not start to get an advantage anv way. She was content with what she had. and during the first year she only organized fourteen national banks, while the middle States organized thirty-seven, the West seventy-nine, and the South four. Well, sir, wliat is the next step? In 1864 my honorable friend from Ohio, then as now of the Finance Committee, saw tit to change that law. lie saw that in order to carry out this system it was necessary to make further inducements, and the law was completely changed so that it was left entirely to the dis cretion of the Comptroller to distribute this currency just as in- pleased. And yet, sir, you will find that New England did not rush for this currency particularly then. Of the foul hundred and seventy-eight banks wliicMfSWre organized in 1864 New England had only one hundred and twenty-six so that down to the close tit ls64 New England really had but one hundred and forty-two national banks. in the next year the act which has been referred to in this debate, the act of March 3. 1863. was passed, and it is said that the act of 1863 was therein rt-t nucted. That is true, undoubtedly hut that is not the whole truth, tor on the self-same day there was an internal revenue act approved in which there was a provision that all existing State hanks should have the right to become national banks and should have the preference in obtaining cur rency' over m w organizations up to the 1st day of duly, 1865. Fp to this time the New Eng and hanks had stood back and had refused to come into this national system. It had be i oiiii the desire and the necessity of the Gen cral Government to induce them to come into 1 it The Government could not afford to have two kind'* of currency in the country. It had therefore, I repeat, become it* necessity to induce these bank in Mime way. to adopt the n itional system. What was tl e inducement First to throw it open here as you see; in the second place, to stimulate them they proposed to tax their circulation ten per cent.; and with this option and with that stimulus of a tax of ten ptrcent.. these hanks did avail them selves of the proposition contained in this law and did come in precisely ns was contem plated. precisely as was desi ed, and precisely as i* provided bv this law.

The Congress of the I nited States having induced, having enticed, these hanks to come in, having stimulated them to come in by mulcting them in the tax of ten percent., it they refused, I am a little surprised that we should he turned upon here and held up as being extortioners, as h iving played the grab game on the West and South. 1 am perfect ly willing to say that it is proper and fair that there should be an equalization of this cur rency: and while I know it bears hardly on ttie banks to take away this $45,000,000 of cert ficates hearing three per cent., which is a sul stitute for legal-tenders that will bear no inti rest, still as it is in the direction of the general objects of this whole system and a* it does not inflate the currency, as I said in the beginning, it is perfectly agreeable to me to vote for it, and I should vote for a much larger sum if the Commitee on Finance real ly supposed that a larger sum was needed in the South. EXECUTION OF SALSA VE. The capture of Salnave took place on the 10th inst., at Cuaba. All his followers were captured with him. On the way to Pott An Prince, nine members of his Ministry were ahot down one by one in the presence of the captured President. The savages could scarcely be restrained from disposing of Sal nave in the same way during the march, in spite of positive orders to bring him in alive, 'flu* force of cavalry and infantry, armed with Spencer, Enfield, and Henry rifles, was some thing over three thousand, and was command ed by General Hreese Lockart and another hero of the same stamp. Salnave was not tied to his horse and hail his limbs tree. Ilis left arm was in a sling in consequence of the wounds he had received in the skirmish which resulted in his capture. Despite the pain of his wounds and the knowledge that In* was going to his death the plucky President bore himself manfully. A vast crowd lined the streets through which the procession passed, and had swelled to fully 8,000 people when opposite the United States Consulate in Grand hue. Consul Bassett had previously teken into his house the wifr and children ot the unfortunate President, and also a number of others, who were afraid to remain in their own homes. These looked out upon the cor tege and saw Salnave hustled along toward the Tribune or Court House, and jeered at by the excited blacks. He was tried, and found guilty of high treas on and various other crimes, and sentenced to death. The correspondent of the Herald gives an account of what fallowed, from which we copy. i Win n tlu* result of tin* trial had been an nounced a rush was made to the place ofexe eution, and a great crowd speedily filled the approaches to the ruins of the palace, where it was said the prisoner would he despatched. The revolutionists amused themselves, while waiting for the denouement, in veiling, Vire In constitution!" and “.*1 has Salnave!" and there was so much crowding and violence that the troops had enough to do to keep a space clear before the pillars. When at length the head of the column of soldiers guarding the i prisoner emerged into the square from the tribunal, shouts rent the air and the infuriated blacks swayed backwards and forwards in the violence of their anger. It was a few’ minutes before sunset, file rosy tints of the sun slant ing from the sea threw a golden radiance on the ruins, and lightened the upturned faces of the bloodthirsty crowd. A few soldiers stood by the pillars and held ropes in their hands w ith which to bind the prisoner to the stake already driven into the ground for the pur pose. There was no time lost by the officers liaving the execution in charge. 1*laced against the stake, with his back to the still smouldering ruins of the palace and looking toward the sea, Salnave was speedily bound by the arms and permitted to gaze for a mo ment on the determined faces of the soldiery and the maddened populace. Then a detach ment of infantry. thirty strong, were drawn up within twenty yards of the doomed man ami the order was given to load. A profound silence now fell upon the place; the blacks gaped open-mouthed and with glis tening eyes as the soldiers rammed down the charges in their pieces and came to the carry. It was expected that Salnave would say some thing before it was too late, but lie uttered never a w ord, but faced the executioners witli unflinching eyes and determined mien. His lips moved once when the order was given to make ready, but it was evident that he did not intend to speak. The soldiers brought up their pieces slowly and not all together: many of them were clearly more nervous than was Salnave, and would doubtless have prefer e 1 to be shooting at some other darkey. Finally the word was given, the smoke cleared away and the wretched prisoner was seen to be pierced in several places, but still alive. lie had leaned over a little on his left side, as if to avoid the shot, hut struggled to right him self again. When it was seen that he was not dead a howl went up from the multitude, and the officers cursed the bungling soldiers in unmeasured terms. The muskets were quick ly loaded again. The order to fire was given by the officer in command, and a volume of smoke flew' in the faces of the spectators. When it had cleared away Salnave was no more. Riddled in every part of his body by tlu* bullets of the soldiers, his head drooped on his breast, his shattered arm hung listlessly by his side and the warm blood flowed from his numerous wounds in copious streams. The crowd immediately began to move away, and then some soldiers came up with a cart, drawn by two donkeys, and threw the mangled body into it. Half an hour later all that was mortal of the unfortunate Salnave was thrown carelessly into a hole dug for its reception, in an open space about three-quar ters of a mile outside and north of the city of Port au Prince. 'Mu* court had assembled at three o’clock P. M., and at twenty minutes past six Salnave, the ex-President of Huyti, was a corpse. GENE UAL NEWS. Daniel Webster’s old farm in Franklin, N.

Among the ex pectant crowd at the door at one time was our honorable Speaker of the House. Afti r waiting f -r some time without gaining the entree, a friend who was by his side, said to the doorkeeper, please let this gentleman, our Speaker, pass in. and the rest of us will wait." Hut the doorkeeper was “up to snutf." “No sir. you can’t come that game over me, there’s six Speakers gone in already." It was no use, and our friend retreated as grace fully as possible, and all hands waited their turn hungrily if not patiently. CJ—in. Mr. Charles \V.
