The following letter embraces the decision of the treasury on the appli cation of the national banks to with draw their legal tenders deposited for retirement of circulation. TREAroBY DEPAETMENT , ) WASHINGTON , March 11 , 1881. J To the President of the Merchants' National Dank , v leve and , O. : SIB I am In receipt of your letter of the 5th Inst. , stating that your bank had , during the prevloui week , de posited with the assistant treasurer at 2ew York § 180,000 In legal tender , with.a.view of retiring that .amount o circulating notes , and that the bonds to secure the same' , amounting to $200,000 , had been forwarded from the treasury In this city in New York- and that your bank now desire's , to re turn them to the treasurer of the United states and receive back the above amount of legal tender notes. Ai the action taken in th's case would establish , a rule by which the depart ment wonld necessarily be governed in regard to similar requests from other bank ? , some delay ia answering your letter has recurred. It seems that since the 19th ult. about $19- 000,000 nf legal tenders have been de posited for a purpose like that men tioned by yon. Of this amount one million dollars was returned -by tHb treasury department , request there- for-having been received before any redemption ofnotes tad boon made or security for bonds delivered. Jn such "cases , the transaction 'being ' In complete , the department had clearly a ripht to ratain the notes as had been done.

Senator Pond'oton ' nsked that the resolBtloB _ lor the appointment toi standing committees offered by him yesterday bo plseed before the senale for eoatideration. The resolution WM read. 1 Mr. Dark of IUlnoU < wished , before the resolution was acted upon , to ex plain his position. No one entered ongreM freer from political obliga- tioos than he had four years ago.He had never acted diitinctively with the democratic party , and a great , chance was necessary to induce him to revise the carefully formed decisions htTh d made. He had voted on all questions without regard to political origin. "I have not asked , and would accept oo .honor from either side , and bave no political ambition. It follow ) from what I. said that I will Tote for the 'formation of all committees , a , pro posed , except the judiciary commit " of Mr. Harris tee. At the sugpealion ris , .nf Tenbeasee , Mr. Dms qved.to aaiend the 'resolution by inseriing the name of Senator Garland for that ol himself ( Davis ) as chairman of the ju diciary comtnhfeo. " " " ' " * Senator Conkling.Tield thatMhe refc olntlon was net in order , InasmacK as a suspension .of .tha rules were neces sary , and that at leaatxme day's notice was necessary f orsuch suspension. , . Senator Pendleton replied tha 's5f- ficient notice had been given hT offer Ing the resolution yesterday. The majority desire , the ; committee , ; * " the majority should rule. Senator Oankling was sure that a constitutional majority of .thu aenate , notwithstahdinu the ' 'absenFeesSrert agatait tLe formation of the commit tee , and saidlie for one should slant lot * . the fruition .pf .tha resultafithe fin * k -.j i i\i tri'-/iOit * * last election which placed the execu tive power in the hands of other than the democratic party. The organiza tion 'of the senate should nut be a trick affair ; , no advantage should be taken by prdmature action. The chair decided that the senate had not ordered a selection of the committees in any other way than by ballot , and I the resolution from the senator frem Ohio was not ia order until the senate had ordered such ac tion. . Mr. Pendleton appealed from the decision of the chair. Mr. Edmunds cited rules in support of the decision of the vice-president. . Mr. Bayard argued that ( t was as proper to appoint committees by reso lutions as to appoint them by ballot. Mr. Garland stated that the object of the resolution was to secure the election of committees and , otherwise than by.baflor. - -i. < - , - Mr.'Ferry sal i the resolution desig nates the members" of i committees , but not how they bo chosen. . If the resolution 'means to act otherwise than by ballot , then surely it should lay over another day. tTho janie ground was taken by MoBfi'rs. Hbar.nnd McMillan. Mr' Sherman made a point that his colleague had neglected to preface his resolution with , the usual resolutions' to proceed fproperly with the selection' , of committees , Mr. Garland thought it a high con stitutional ( luty to proceed to the or- gamcations of the senate. Mr. Conkling asked if heunder- ' ' stood the senator said'thai it was the ! high constitutional dut > for tha mo mentary rryijority to salza upon a day when one chair was vacant iby death , and threq by the formation of the cabinet , tocrganza | committees which on Toesday next will have no power. " MrT Girjar i asked the senator from New YPI-K when he supposed all tfie senators would be present , and said th&t no advantage was dosired. Mr. Conkling replied that he was informed ( hat one absentee would bo iera to-morrow , two on Monday and ihe last on Tuesday night. " Mr. Garland said ho'was not press * : ng organization to-day particularly. Mr. Hill , of Georgia , considered it & spall .matter whether the committees qrganiz tbday or whether they in clude a majority of democrats. The duly object was'to start tbo business. The real' ' question was on a point of order. Oun .comtnitteoa be appointed' " " otheririaej than "by "ballot without'a suspension of the roles ? . Senator Conkling said that the ap- iealvrea 'made yesterday for unani mous consent for the suspension of the rul s for action on this resolution. Senator Hill replied that suspension was asked on proposing the rerofation yesterday , and the resolution went DVCI one day under the rule. The senator regretted that the gentleman From Now York thought the demo crats desired to take an unfair advan kage. He hoped the senator from New York did 'not understand him to tay he was ignorant. His sun may be dimmed , but the senator from New York , never" lessens f his brilliancy. , "Senator Conkling hffdded approval ] Senator Hill was glad that the senator from New York approved of some ac tion of his. Senator Conkling said be always ap- prove'l of the action of the senator from Georgia when the senator from Georgia was right. Senator Hill said ho was not sure but that the president would empty some more chairs in the senate. He might , for instance , send the senator From Now York to grace some foreign court. Senator Conkling hoped the Senator from Georgia was not indulging him self in any such hopes. Senator Hill , continuing , said that in. sending in nominations the presi- denVevI < iently recognized the necea- aity ot the appointment of commit tees , and the true way was to proceed with it. The matter was continued in discussion , and at 2:25 , on motion of Mr. . Harris , the senate went Into executive session. CAPITAL NOTES. SpecHl Dispatches to-The Bee.
