SENATE.
Washington, March 22. - Mr. Voorhees offered a resolution that the hostile attitude assumed by national banks toward refunding the national debt at a low interest and their recent attempt to dictate the legislation of congress on the subject, are contrary to the best interests of the people and calculated to alarm them for the future. Mr. Voorhees said he wished to make a few remarks, but Mr. Morrill raised the point that it being not legislative business, it was out of order. Mr. Frye sustained the point, and Mr. Voorhees, after saying he had no idea that legislation might not be done, he understood that the precedent ran the other way.
Mr. Conkling suggested that Mr. Voorhees let it lie over till to-morrow when the senators could look up the law and precedents.
Mr. Voorhees acceded.
Executive session.
Adjourned.
