NOI I(JE.—A rcwnnl 0f.550. will be paid to any poison who will
apprehend and deliver to the stibciiber in Crawford county, or to
the jailor or *herifT of Pula-ki county, a man by (he name of Alarion
Simm* he is about 10 or 15 years of age. about 6 feet or more high,
hau a blemish in one of his eyes which deprives him of sight. The
said Simms, is a man of a dark complexion ami black hair, in statute tol
erable well proporione<l of a man of his age. he has formerly been a citi
zen of North (’aialina. and more recently from Lav reus county in ibis
State he has a family residing in Pulaski county at this time. The said Ma
rion Simms, sometime in December la>t. stole a ncaio man from me.
for w hich ho was appi( bended and lodged in jail at Covington. Ga., and
being no plaintiff’, he was loleased by a writ of Habeas <>orpus. and
since that time he has been linking about throngh the cruntry at large.
About the I*t of March inst.. the same negro man left w ithout, the least
provocation whatever, and as I have just reason lo believe that he has
been decoyed off’thc second time by the said Simms, I will give an
. addition d reward of SSD for him ami said negro ( Ilanstiir: ) or the ne
pro apprehended himself alone, I will give a reward of S”‘) if taken dead
or alive, and if killed in any alfcmpr. an advance of $5 w ill be paid.
The said negro is about 22 or 23 years of age, about 5 feet, 8 or 10
inches high, when -pokrii to has rather a did! tone to l»i< voice, he is
subject to limp when walking, bis color isdark.or rather light.
I wouhl caution al! persons to iteware of Marion Simms, as he is one of
the noted rogues 3nd scoundrels, and if seen in his prosessimi any ne
groes or hor-es. it is confident it is stolen property, and I would further
state to all and every good citizen, to have no dealings with him in any
line of business whatever.

TWEA'TY-I’IFTII CONOKESS—Second Session.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Tuesday, March 27, 1838.
flic Independent Treasury.
The hill from the Senate, entitled “an act to impose addi
j tional duties as depositaries, upon certain public officers, to ap-
I point receivers general of public money, and to regulate the
I safe-keeping, transfer, and disbursement of tlie public moneys
of the United btates,” having been read twice by its title:
Mr. CainbreJcng moved its reference to the Committee of
Ways and Means.
Air. Pickens rose, ami said that before this motion was acted
upon, considering the importance of the subject, lie desired to
I be informed on certain points, so that he might know how to
j shape bis course upon the motion, and he should apologize to
■ the House for trespassing in this way, from the acknowledged
■' importance of the subject, and the deep interest involved in it.
; Air. P. would not have desired information upon this sub
ject, had it not been for an article w hich appeared in the official
journal of this morning, which he had perused most painfully,
and which had an ominous bearing. lie desired to know, from
tlie honorable chairman of the Committee of Ways and Afeans
whether it was intended, directly or indirectly, to give this bill
from the Senate the preference over the bill reported already
through their own committee, upon the same subject, to that
House? lie saw it intimated, that perhaps the provision (Air.
Calhoun’s) which had been stricken out in the Senate’s bill
might be attached to some other appropriate bill, or introduc
ed in an independent form, and in this article (from the Globe)
be had seen not the slightest reference to the House bill upon
this subject. Now Air. P. considered this a question which,
according to the theory of our Government, was peculiarly un
der the jurisdiction of this House; and, upon that considera
tion alone, he should be disposed to give their own bill the pre
ference, as a precedent upon this subject. But he did not de
sire to trespass upon the House, and should not; but he most
anxiously desired to know whether, in the future action of the
Committee of Ways and Aleans, so far as the chairman was
concerned, there was to be the slightest preference to the Se
nate’s bill over that reported to the House from that commit
tee ?
Air. P. concluded, by saving that he propounded this inqui
ry most respectfully, and it was due to the House to sax’, that
lie had not the slightest conference with that gentleman. He
asked it candidly and frankly. It was dee to the House and j
to the country to know whether that emasculated bill—yes, said
l:e, a thing having the form of a man, with the spirit of a
eunuch—was to have, directly or indirectly, any preference
given it over the one reported to this Ilbusc on the same sub- :
ject. If h ? was led to believe to Lchevc that it would not, 2!’d i
that our bill was to be made the rallying point for the country,
it would give him great pleasure to vote with the gentleman,
(Mr. Cambreleng) to give it the ordinary reference to his com
mittee. There was a great question involved in the bill, and
no temptation could make him falter in his course.
Air. Cambreleng would answer the gentleman most cheerful
ly. For himself, as a member of the Committee of Ways and
Aleans, and he thought he could almost answer for every one of
his colleagues on that committee, that he and they did infinitely
prefer the bill reported to this House to the bill of the Senate.
They had seriously and thoroughly examined all the provisions
of the latter, and they had serious objections to many of its
details; for some of its details besides those advocated by the
gentleman from South Carolina, involving principles of very
grave importance ; and the bill reported from the Committee of
Ways and Aleans w as, almost two-thirds of it, a new bill en
tirely. For one, be should not depart from one single section
or feature of that bill, and should certainly feel it his duty, as
a measure of this character should emanate from the House, to
give the House bill the preference.
Air. Si rgeant thought the chairman of the Committee of
Waysand Aleans had made one remark from which Air. S.
dissented. The gentleman said that he thought he could an
swer for all his colleagues on the committee.
Air. Bambreleng begged to be understood as not of course,
intending to include those gentlemen opposed to both bills.
Air. Sergeant He does not mean all the committee then ;
but thinks the majority are in favor of the House bill, Now,
Air. S. did not know which to prefer; that is, he did not know
which was wot st, and that was about the state of any opinion
or judgment he then had. If the bill was what the gentleman
from South Carolina had stated, an ennucli, why it was a sort ■
of thing that, in some parts of the world, was entrusted with j
the care of a treasury, and if he could bring himself to believe 1
that it was as innocent, by reason of its incompetence, as that'
class of persons were, he should have less objection to it; but
he believed t’.iat it h id vigor enough to do mischief, and that it
was not safe to trust cither one or the other bill ; and for that
very reason that shose who were to be entrusted with the trea
sury were pcrfeclly competent persons to maltreat—to betray
their trust —to be led by temptation to injuie those who had
entrusted them with the machinery. Both bills he believed to
be exactly the same ; the difference between them being that
the one was to have tlie pow er of keeping bank notes, and the
other that of keeping gold and silver, if it could get it.
All Air. S. rose to say was, that as cue of the Committee of
Ways and Aleans, he had no preference for either, but had
strong objections to both, and was at a loss to know which was
worst.
Air. liny ■ties said, though he did not feel expressly called up
on, vet he would state, in a word, that lie gave a very decided
preference to the House bill, and had a very strong disposition
to reply to some of the remarks made by the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, but that this was not the proper time.
Air. Patton was opposed to try this expedient in any form.
He was opposed to the bill reported by the Committee of
Ways and Aleans, and did not think there was the least neces
sity in such a reference of the Senate bill as that now moved.
This subject had been before that committee twice : heady,
and they had given the House the fruit of their labors and
meditations upon the subject. He considered it extremely im
portant to the best interests of this country that this question
should be decided, and decided promptly; and he should
when lie sat down, make a motion which he hoped would bring
to the test w hat was the judgment of a majority of that House
in regard to the principles of this n.easufe. lie was compell
ed, in order to accomplish his object of quieting, if the majo
rity of the House should be opposed to this measure of quiet
ing the apprehensions of the country, justly excited by the
continued confidence w ith w hich it is alleged that this measure,
fraught, as he sincerely and solen nly believed, w ith the most
mischevious tendency to the best interests of the country, and
with the greatest danger, in a political point of view, was to
be determined speedily and promptly by a vote of that House.
The objc ct he had in view, and which, in his view of the
question, was so important, could not be attained but by a
vote which was not in the form of a direct rejection of this
measure, but which was a d< cisive indication, and he hoped
lhe vote would be so regarded, of the opinions of the House
‘ against any bill containing the principles of ,his measure,
whether it be the bill from the Senate or that reported from
the Committee of Ways and Aleans. He did not urge, there
fore, as a reason why this matter should not be referred, the
fact that a majority of that committee had examined and were
opposed to it, because he did not desire that the vote which
he should ask the House to take, should depend upon any dif
ferences of opinion about the details or modifications, which
did not touch the great principles of the measure.
Air. P. said he was aware that there wete several gentle
men anxious to present substitutes to one or the other bill—
substitutes essentially changing the details, and, in fact, the
principles of both measures; and, at the first blush, gentle
men might be disposed not to sustain the motion he was about
to make; but there would bo no difficulty whatever. Gentle
men who had such propositions to make, might make them
hereafter. There were a variety of propositions before the
House, upon which they might be discussed, and adopted too,
if' the House was disposed in their fovor. All the questions
involved in this measure might also be discussed at large tin-
F. L. KOK INSON, PROPRIETOR
der some of these, and there was no good reason, therefore, as
it seemed to him, for gentlemen who were opposed to the prin
ciples of this bill, being deterred from voting to lay it on the
table, and thus furnishing an indication to the country that thr
majority of that House, if such be the fact, was opposed to
the tneasitee. And it would furnish too this additional advan
tage to them in presenting their propositions, viz : that as long
as the friends of the Sub-Treasury, or Independent Treasury
project, or what you please to call it, have the hope that they
. can carry their measures, they will, of course, oppose any aud
; every substitute that can be offered for it, and any and every
modification that will attack the principles of their measure.
If, on the-other band, it be the opinion of the majority lhattha
principles of this measure are not to be incorporated by their
legislation, then gentleme n will find tlie proposed disposition of
it necessary in taking tlie next best measure, if there be any
next best, to accomplish the object they have in view, to attain
the object of purifying and correcting our currency, by the
next best project, or that which any gentleman might think
best.
With these views, Air. P. said he moved to lay the bill on
the table.
Air. Glascock hoped the gentleman, who had made a gene
ral speech, and gone somewhat out of the rules, in his opinion,
would withdsaw the motion, to enable Air. G. to make a few
remaiks in reply. «
Air. Patton would very cheerfully yield, if he had discussed
the principles of the bill, but he had not done so, and could
not, therefore, withdraw the motion.
Air. Glascock. The gentleman had given reasons why tlie
bill should be laid on the table, and Air. G. appealed to his li
berality to allow a reply so far. Air. G. would renew the mo
tion.
Air. Patton would then withdraw it.
Air. Glascock regretted exceedingly that this motion to Jay
on the table had been made at the present time; and be re
gretted the more to see the motion come from tlie quarter it
did. The House was well apprised of lhe situation which the
gentleman from A’irginia occupied at the present time. It is
well known that that gentleman had been provided for by his
own State ; and it is a question whether, whenever any action
shall be had on this bill here, lie will be representing the ma
jority of his constituents, which an election, however, to fill his
vacancy will test. But independent of these considerations, it
is well known that at the present time one of the Siates of this
Union is unrepresented. It is well known that there are cer
tain districts in different States unrepresented: aud it is equal
ly well known that at this present time, .here were a large
number of the representatives of the people absent, from the
indisposition of their families and other cau-es, absent aud ne
cessarily absent of this city, and from ti e House. If we era
t.) have this quest’on tested, ami fitirly tested, let us have it
taken whin every member is in his scat. Mhire is the neces
sity of the motion wl i h had been made by th? gentleman
from A’irginia at this time? Has it been made because the gen
tleman is himself about to taken farewell from us all, and is it
from such motives a* these that lie now asks vs to tike this
question, when he well knows there are many individuttla
friendly to this hill who are not present to vote, and are parti
cularly anxious to do so? If the gentkman had exercised that
courtesy which isusual on all great national questions, he would
have delayed his motion until every member could be here in
his place, to represent his constituency. He asked the House
whether it was not best to act on whatever bill the Committee
of Ways and Aleans may report, at a time when there may be
a ftdl and fair attendance of the representatives of the people
present. He knew not what effect this might have on the
minds of others, but he was prepared to say for himself, that
this movement, at the pre-ent crisis, was far from being - such a
one as he had expected from the gentkimn from Virginia, for
on all other occasions he had looked upon that gentleman rs
acting with candor and fairness. At this very moment there
are some twenty or thirty members absent from their seats; in
fact, it had been suggested by some gen kmen near l.im, that
there wore at least forty who were absent. No such proposi
tion as this had been anticipated by those gentlemen, and it is
a question on which it is expected by the whole country, that
every member should be present to give his vote. He would
ask the gentleman; then, whether in order that the absent
members might be present, one to have a ftdl vote of the House
on the question, he would not consent to withdraw his motion,
and permit the bill to go to the Committee of Ways and Means,
and Ie r< port) d upon by that Co nnf t ’n order that some
measnre mightbebroi’gnt befcrethe House, in order that the
people ofthe country ml: ht see whoa her a majoiitv of the
Ho - se were not opposed to the principle contained in the bill:
namelv, the divorce of the Govan meut and banks. He knew
there were some who were in fr vor of the principle oi this
measure, but who differed as to details-, and vll be asked was,
th; t the country might I e properly in r <>rrn<d, whether there
was, o was not, a majority in favor of the principle which he
had referred to.
On this sulject, he must avail himself of die privilege he now
had of showing - the impression attempted to be n ade on the'
people of the “Old Dominion.” A report had gone forth,’
staling tb.at there were some fifteen or twenty of a majority in
this House opposed to the divorce. Then, s : r, if the gentle
man from Virginia intends that the people of his State shall be
fairly informed on this important subject, let ti e rj’k'slibn be
brought up fairlv, and let u* have such a vote as will truly test
the principle. Do this, and he [Mr G.] had nothing 10 fear;
and so far as it was concerned, be hesitated not in giving it as
his decided opinion that there was a ‘majority in favor of a di
vorce of Government and hanks, notwithstanding all that had
been said in certain papers to the contrary.
Air. Alerccr rose to cider. He wished to know whether the
remarks of the gentleman were pertinent to the question under
considerate n.
The Chair was of opinion that die gentleman from Georgia, -
as well ns the gentleman from Virginia. [Mr. Patton.] had not
confined themselves strictly to the question pending.
Air. Glascock, in concht-ion, would only say he regretted
that this motion has been made, as it was ah evidence of un®”
fairness which he little expected from the gentleman from Vir
ginia. He should renew the motion, ns he bad plcged himself
to do it, but he di<l it with the greatest reluctance, because
whatever vote was now taken coubl m't be considered a fair
test clthe question. He looked upon the motion as an act of
illiberality towards the absent members, and as a i net ofin
justice to the States and districts v. hich were now unri presens
ted. and from causes well known to all.
Air. G. then renewed the motion to lay on the tahfe. -
Alr. Adam*hoped the gentleman would withdraw this mb*
tion, so that his rcinasks might be answerd.
Mr. Gl ascock said he would not do this, unless the gentle
man from Virginia and others agreed to have it will drawn for
a general discussion of the sfibject.
Mr. Cushman called for the yens and nays; which were or
dered.
Air. Fillmore moved a call of the House; w liich was ordered.
The rail was then proceeded in for some time, when
Air. Cushman m< ved that it be further dispensed with.
Air. Patton hoped not, nf er what the member from Geor
gia had insinuated. The insinuation made by that gentlematr
that Mr. P. made the motion to lay this I'ili on the table, rtiorc
with reference to the absence of the friends of tlie measure'’
than otherwise, was wholly imfonmled. AT' - . P. had not the’
sliglicst know ledge ofthe std jert, nor had he ever taken the’
least pains to ascertain who were absent or who were present.’
He hoped, therefore, the Ibrnse would suffer the cal! to goon', -
that it might then lx* seen who were absent and who present.
So far as he was concerned, be would say that if there were any
just grounds that any v< te in this farm, and a" this time troftlcf
do injustice, or be acting unfairly, lie would unquestionably, at
once, desire the motion to lay the bill on the fable, w ithdrawn.
Air. Duncan here raised the point of order,■ fliatthe ques
tion was not dcbnteable; for, ifil was, be might disposed to
reply.
The Chair said debate was not in nrijef.
Mr. Pickens was in favor of the motion of tlie geniteniitj
