Tim House has now 293 mend
(lie new apportionment will increase 325.
This will ncec <s itate the removal of the
dcsks from the floor and the substitution
of benches as in thc English I’arilaraent.
One, of the best speeches delivered while
the bill was pending was that of Kepresen
tatlve Tillman of South Carolina. Hon.
Judson C. Clements, of the Seventh Dis¬
trict of Georgia, made his debut on the
sail)-'subject in a speech highly creditable
both as to matter, and delivery. It created
a very favorable impression and was dl
rented chiefly against tlm errors of the Meat- f.
on method of apportionment. After the
passage of tins hill quite an interesting and
•A'-iting d hate sprung up iu the House, on
tlm question of issuing coin certificates to
passes money. The idea is to keep-the
■a n’n, to the gold and sdvvr, in the vaults
of the Treasury and issue certificates of de¬
posit wherever they are preferred to coin*
These certificates will not ho as Inwik notes,
barely promises to pay but will lie in the
shape of Treasury acknowledgements’,' the
Government holding the coin to lie turned
over dollar for dollar to whoever presents
the certificate. In this way it is contended
by many that the people will have all the
advantages of paper money without the
disndvanages and inconvenience of tras
porting the metals. •• • ’
