The PRESIDENT protempore. They will be so referred, and the motion to print will go to the ComPrintg. Mr. TRUMBULL Presented a memorial of citizens of Illinois, remonstrating against the passage, of any act authorizing the curtailment of the national currency, or a return within a limited time to specie payments, and against compelling national banks to redeem their notes in NewYork, or prohibiting them from payin or receiving interest on bank balances, an recommending the withdrawal of all national bank currency and the substitution of U.S. Treasury notes in their place, and that all Government bonds be taxed as any other property; which was referred to the ComFinance. He also Presented a petition of citizens of Troy Grove, LaSalle county, Illinois, prayin that the circulating notes of private and nationa hanks may be retired from circulation and replaced by legal tender notes of the U.S.; which was referred to the ComFinance. Mr. POLAND. IPresent the petition of William Harris and several other citizens of Windham, in the county of Windham, in the State of Vermont, praying that Congress will refrain from the passage of any act authorizing the curtailment of the national currency or having in view the return within a limited time to specie payments. They also pray that Congress will refrain from the enactment of any law compelling all national banks, wherever located, to redeem their notes in NewYork, or prohibiting national banks, from paying or receiving interest on bank balances. They rePresent that any law compelling national banks to redeem their circulating notes in NewYork would prove onerous to them, injurious to the business men of their locality, and would ignore the just claims of other sections of the country. They also rePresent that as the business of nearly every bank in the U.S. requires it to keep i. osits at one of the national banks located in NewYork, any law prohibiting the receipt or payment of interest upon balances by such banks would operate harshly upon all like institutions, located out of that city, and would render wholly unproductive a considerable portion of their capital. I also Present a similar petition from John H. Butler and a considerable number of other persons, residents of Jamaica, in the county of Windham, Vermont, to the same effect. I also Present a similar petition signed by A. B. Foster and various other persons, citizens of Weston, Windsor county, Vermont, to the same effect. I move that these petitions be referred to the ComFinance. They were so referred. Mr. POLAND. I also Present resolutions, in the nature of a memorial, from the Cale donia Agricultural Society, urgently requesting the congressional delegation o Wer mont to exert themselves to the utmost to secure the passage of a bill as favorable to the wool interest as that passed by the HoRep during its last session. That subject having been reported upon by the ComFinance, I move that these resolutions be laid upon the table. The motion was agreed to. Mr. YATES Presented the petition of J.
