The Great IS unification Debate in the Senate? in January- 1S30. DESCRIPTION OF THE SCENE BY AN EYE-WITNESS. Speecn of Calhoun on the "Force BUI" in 1833 Pleo. for Soutli Carolina. The Words und Deeds Wlticu Have Made these Men Immortal. Col. Forney, in the last of his series of " Anecdotes of Public Men," gives the following brilliant sketch : Three figures Andrew Jacksont Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun dominated the historic period when nullification reared its brazen head in 1S30, and cowered before the Presi dent's proclamation in 1833. Many other luminaries shone in that bril liant interval, but they were the sate lites of these supetior Ktars. Calhoun was the cold philosopher of the fatal theory of secession, Jackson its fierce antagonist, and Webster the ponder ous chuunion of the truth that the constitution was the best conservator of the Union. Above all the subor dinate combatants, these three nnnie live in supreme splendor. John Qirnoy Adams had been overwhelm ingly defended by Jackson in!S2S,and Henry Clay, his Secretary of tState, ha I feft Washington city with him after the inauguration of Jackson, in the spring of 1S20 ; so that neither was in Congress when the great debate be iruti on Foore'fl resolution, offered Dec. 29, JS29. Both, however, re-entered the public service in 1831 Adams to remain till his death. Feb. 23, 1S4S, and Clay except an interval of seven years, from 1S42 to 1S49, when he was re-elected for six years till he died, June, 1S52. Poole's innocent resolu tion, the cause of bo much excitement and such grave results, was as follows: Resolved That the committee on public lands be instructed to enquire Into the expedienci of limiting, for a Certain period, the sales of the public lands to such lands only as have here tofore been offered for sale, and are subject to entry at the minimum price. Also, whether the office of Surveyor iensrB! may not be abolished with out di.tr ment to tl e public service. Mr. Webster had been a most effici ent advocate of Adams in the previ ous presidential election, and this harmless resolution was made the : pretext fora violent assault upon New ' England, and upon himself, .by the ' partisans of Calhoun, who was then Vice President, and of President Jack son, but, a3 the result proved, not with the General's sympathy. The resolution was introduced without the knowledge of Mr. Webster, and yet he saw no harm in its terms or pur pose. But Mr. Benton, who opened the debate, declared It to be an attack upon the west, and said, "the west must still look to the solid phalanx of the south for succor." He also de nounced the policy of New England toward the west as most illiberal and,! unjust. Col. P.obert Y. Hayne, one of the Senators from South Carolina, and Mr. Calhoun's confidential friend rnir.xi.0, Ttrr JOllOV eu lJ.r. Benton in a speech 01 great bitterness against New England beginning with a complimentary sal utation to the Missouri semuor, biiu adding that "The south would al ways sympathise with the west." On a previous occasion, Col. Hayne had tried to get into a controversy with Mr. Webster, but the suddenness of this new assault on New England ' fiT SmT -SZ5- warmth. One passage of this reply. not often quoted, may be published for its prophetic truth. It was spoken on Jan. IS. 1830, and reads strangely, in view of the astounding aggregate of the succeeding forty-three years: " And here, sir, at the epoch of 1794, let us pause and Burvey the scene. It is now thirty-five years since that scene actually existed. Let us, sir. look back and behold it. Over all that is now Ohio there then stretched one vast wilderness, unbroken except b two small spots of civilized cul tr the 0110 at Marietta, the other at Cincinnati. At these little openings, bardlv a pin's point upon the map.the arm of the frontiersman had leveled the forest and let in the sun. These little patches of earth, themselves, al most shadowed by the overhanging boughs of thai H-ilderness. which had stood and perpetuated itself from cen tury to century, ever since me crea tion, wore all that had been rendered verdant by the hand of man. In an extent of hundreds and thousands of square miles, no other surface of smil ing green -attested the presence of civ ilization. The hunter's path crossed mighty rivers, flowing in solitary grandeur, whose sources lay in remote and unknown regions of wilderness. It struck upon the north, on a vast Inland sea, over which the wintry tamnaata rnrrrt nts on the OCeaU ; all a- round was bare creation. It was a fresh, untouched, unbounded, mag nificent -wilderness. And, sir, what is it now ? Is it imagination, only, or can it possioiy ue laui-, ..-m.-w... such a change as surprises and aston ishes uswhen we turn our eyes to what Ohio now is ? Is it reality, or a dream, that in so short a period as ev en thirty-five years, there has sprung upon the same surface an independ ent State, with a million of people? A million of inhabitants! An a mouut of population greater than all the cantons of Switzerland ; equal to one-third of all the people of the TJ nlted States when they undertook to accomplish their Independence! If, air, we may jude of measures by their results, what lessons do these facts read us upon the policy of the government? What inferences do they not authorize upon the general question of kindness or unkindneas? What convictions do they enforce as to the wisdom and ability on the one hand, or the fojly and incapacity on the other, of our general management of western affairs? For my own part, while I am struck with wonder at their success, I also look with admi ration at the wisdom and foresight which originally arranged and pres cribed the systeuj for the settlement 01 tue puDUo domain." The real debato opened Jan. 21, 1830 Mr. Webster had an important case in the Supreme Court, and one of his fxlends (Senator Chambers, of Mary land,) asked to postpone the discus sion till Monday, when Col. Hayne resisted with much vehemence. He saw the Senator from Massachusetts in his seat, and he could not consent to a postponement till he had replied to some of the observations of the gentleman the day before. Putting his hand on his head, he said : I have something here which I want to get rid of. The gentleman had discharg ed his flre in the face 01 the Senate, and I demand an opportunity of re turning the shot." "Then it was" to use the words of a distinguished Southern"member of Congress who witnessed the "scene " that Webster beemed to grow taller and larger. Folding his arms in his own majestic manner, he said : " Let the discussion proceed ; I am ready I am ready now to receive the gentle man's fire." Col. Hayne's speech, able as it was, has been made memor able by Webster's immortal reply. JJe was violent and personal, Belf-eon- nuent and arrogant, and was openly encouraged by Vice-President Cal houn, who sent bim notes and sugges tions repeatedly while he was speak ing. All the Jackson leaders stood by applauding him Benton, Grundy, Woodbury, Duff Greene, of the Washington Telegraph, (Jackson's organ), and many more. The Senate adjourned over till Monday, Jan. 25. 1S30, when he resumed in a tone still more belligerent and offensive. He left nothing unsaid against Mr. WTeb 8ter. A fine person, fluent elocution, and a melodious voice, gave point to his invective. He laid great stress upon Mr. Webster's change of posi tion on the tarijr. Speakiug cf his free trade speech in the House in 1824 he said: On that, the proudest day of i,jsijfei Hke a mighty giunt, he bore away on his shouiders, the pillars of the temple of error and delusion, es caping himself unhurt, and leaving his adversaries overwhelmed in ite ruins. Then it was that he erected to free trade a beautiful and enduring monument, and inscribed the marble with his name." Tuesday, Jan. 23, 1S30 the next day Mr. Webster rote tb replj'. So much has been written of this historic effort that little more need be written of it. Never shall I forget its impression up on my youthful mind, n r its lasting effect upon parties. Webster must have felt as Cineas felt after his mis sion to ltome, when asked by his mas ter, Pyrrhus, how the Roman Senate appeared, wheu he said : " Like an assembly of kings." Ho made little preparation. He needed little, for he was full of his subject. On the even ing before, while reclining on his sofa, he said, in answer to a friend, who heard him laughing: "I have been thinking of what Col. Hayne said a bout Banquo's ghost, and I will get up and make a note of it." One more authority (his friend Charles W. March) says his brief did not occupy half a sheet of paper. Hayne accused him of sleeping on his Hayne's first speech before he replied to it. "Yes," said Webster, "I did sleep ou the gentleman's speech, and I slept well ; and I slept equally as well on the speech to which I am now reply ing." On the morning of the 26th he said to Senator Samuel Bell, of New Hampshire: "You know, Mr. Bell, my constitutional opinions. There are among my friends in the Senate. some whbmay not concur with them." Bell urged him to epeak cut boldly, adding, "It is a critical moment; and it is time, high time, that the people should know what this const! tutiou is. " Then," said Webster. 4 by the blessing of heaven, they shall learn this day, before the sun goes down, what I think it is," The morning of that day will al ways be remembered by those who live to talk about it. As early as 9 o'clock crowds poured to the capitol ; at 12 the Senate Chamber, galleries, floor and lobbies were suffocatim-ly filled ; the very stairways ware dark with people. The hotels were over flowing. The House was deserted. The giant, Dison H. Lewis, then a member from Alabama, the largeBt man of his day, got jammed in be hind the chair of the Vice-President, where he could hardly see or hear; but resolved not to miss the scene, he broke one of the panes of glass, and so contrived to listen to the great ef fort. Webster was a few days over forty eight when he replied to Hayne, who was not quite forty. He surveyed the scene before and around him with the calmness of approaching victory, and seemed tofeelthat ' Alexander lights when he has kings for his competi tors." His spiri s rose with the oc casion, while his adversaries must have felt, with Mr. Iredeil, the col league of Col. Hayne from south Car olina, after the latter had spoken : "He has started the lion; but wait till we hear his roar or feel his claws" Time had not thinned or bleached his hair; it was dark as a raven's wing. " It was such a countenance," said a spectator, "as Salvator Rosa delighted to paint." Ho was an orator without being an actor. Hisdreas was a picture ; a blue coat and buff vest the revolutionary colors with a wide cravat, suiting his broad brows, caverned eyes, and olive complexion. His first deep, mellow tones were almost dramatic, as he ut tered that sentence as familiar to the American as the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence: " Mr. President: When the mann er has been tossed for many days in thick weather, and on an unknown sea, he naturally avails himself of the first pause in the storm, the earliest glance of the sun, to take his latitude aud ascertain how far the elements have driven him from his true course. Let us imitate this prudence, and be fore we float further on the waves of this debate, refer to the point from whioh we departed, that we at least be able to form some conjecture where we now are. I ask for the reading of the resolution." As the Secretary of the State read Senator Footcd resolution, quoted in the first paragraph In this sketch, ev ery head was turned to Webster, eve ry eye was fixed upon, bira., every heart beat with sympathy or, dread. Theajator beheld his thoughts as- in a mirror, and he said afterward he had only to select them at his will. Once Vice President Calhoun interrupted him, and only once, for all sides were spell-bound. He was the Prospero of the occasion. His voice commanded, and the multitude obeyed. Joseph Gales, the famous editor Of The Na tional Intelligencer, and the best re porter of his time, took down the speech, and Mrs. Gales wrote it out in a large hand ; it was revised by Web ster, arid returned the same evening. The Intelligencer could not immedi ately supply the demand, and soon it appeared in other editions in different quarters. It was answered by senators on both sides ; Woodbury, of New Hamp shire; Barton, of Missouri, who bit terly criticised his colleague, Colonel Benton ; Clayton, of Delaware ; Rob bins, of Rhode Island ; but the speech of Webster satisfied the country nnd settled nullification for the-time. The debate closed May 21, 1830, but it left many wounds. When Webster spoke. the Jackson party was a unit the democracy as powerful as the republi can party is to-uay. It had conquer ed everj'thing, and had really no or ganized opposition. Mr. Webster's speech made him a favorite with the president. In one year Gen. Jack son and Mr. Calhoun were malignant enemies. Up to 1S25 Jackson was a strict constructionist, and Calhoun for the liberal exercise of the powers of the federal government, including a protective tariff. In 1831 they chang ed positions, Calhoun declaring for nullification, and Jackson for a strong government. TJie conflict grew se vere ; for Gen Jackson tolerated no half-way support, and Mr. Calhoun soon found himself outside the dem ocratic lines. Jackson was re-elected in 1832, without the vote of South Carolina. Immediately after the re sult was known South Carolina rais ed the flag of nullification, and refus ed to allow" the collection of any na tional revenue within her borders. Armed preparations were made in the State. Hayne resigned his seat in the Senate, aiid Calhoun his Vice-Presidency three months before the expir ation of his term. Jackson determ ined to enforce the law. He did not wait. Re-elected in November, he is sued his proclamation againstthe nul lifies on the 10th of Beeotnbsr of 1832 a paper permeated b3 his own will and the logic of Webster. The scene that preceded the late rebellion were enacted, the same threats, the same secession, very nearly the same resig nations from the army and the navy. Calhoun took his seat as a Senator from his State January 4,, 1833, and on the 21st of January Senator William Wilkins. of Pennsylvania, introduced the celebrated force bill, investing the President with full powers to enforce thelaw-j. There is no doubt that if General Jackson had not been with held by wi-e counsels he would have executed summary vengeance upon Mr. Ca'houu,,- And now we saw the fruits of Web ster's great speech" of January. 1830. The example of Jackson terrified his enemies. Many who had led the at tack ou "Webster three years before now advocated Webster's doctrine dictated by Jackson. Clay was just coming iuto the Senate after his de feat for the Presidency the year be fore. Webster was still there. But they remained In the background and allowed the war to rage in the demo cratic ranks. Clay was maturing his "American system." and waiting his opportunity, and Webster was quiet ly watching the operation of the doc trines. His relations at this time were more friendly with President Jackson. The fierce contention be tween Calhoun and Jackson natural ly attracted thb' latter to llio Massa chusetts patriot. The force bill was a terror td the old States-rights leaders, aud yet they feared the iron will of the 'President more. Most of them fioalh took ground for the bill. But they needed help, and they longed for Webster, the very man whom they had so assailed three years before. His apparent neutrality alarmed them. His business in the Supreme Court kept him most of the time out of the Senate ; and yet he was not an Indifferent, though 6ilent, observer of the scene. Like the hero of the Gre cian epic, he might have turned a deaf ear to the importunities of his enemies ; aud for a long time he stood aloof, though beseiged by the friends of the President, and, if the truth could be known, exhorted by General Jackson himself to come to the res cue. The debate on the force bill pro gressed. Calhoun was indomitable, and was eagerly eollectiug all his re sources. Wilkius opened the debate followed by Bibb, of Kentucky ; Poindexter, of Mississippi ; Frellng huysen, of New Jersey; Brown, of North Carolina: Holmes, of Maine ; Tyler, of Virginia ; Clayton, of Dela- ware; Mangum, of North Carolina; KiuK, of Alabama; Dallas, of Penn sylvania; W7ebster taking little part, aud Calhoun biding his time. After a speech from Mr. Rives, of Virginia. Mr. Calhoun, on the 14th of Febru ary, 1833, moved an adjournment, and the next day (Feb. 15) began his great effort. He spoke for the best part of two days with extraordinary power. Never had he appeared more like himself. As described 03 a spec- tator: "Tall, gaunt, of somewhat stooped figure, with a brow full, well formed, and receding ; hair, not re posing on the head, but starting from it like the Gorgon's ; a countenance of unqualified intellect ; an eye that watched everything and revealed nothing: to an audience already em bittered he seemed to realize the full idea of a conspirator." But no purer mau ever lived ; none more unselfish, or lofty, or hostile to indirection or meanness. Hated by his foe3 for his politics as for himself. He reasoned und philosophized, he held up to Bcorn his foe.s he asserted the inno cence of South Carolina, and he al most deified his dream of State inde pendence. Never was he more effec tive or more dangerous. At 2 o'clock of the same day (Feb. 15, 1833.) Dauiel Webster took the 1 floor in reply to John C. Calhoun. Like his great speech of January 20, 1S30, this effort is historical. It was not so dramatic or so sympathetic, but it was a magnificent argument on the right side, and It did the work. A lone debate ensued, but the interest flagged after this splendid mental du el : and at last, before the final vote was reached. Mr. Calhoun aud his friends left the Senate. The bill pass ed 23 yeaa to 2 nay John Tyler, of Virginia; Benton, Clay and Calhoun absent. Do not suppose that I am writing to describe these two memorable events. My object is to Bhow how steadily Mr. Webster was advancinir I a nartv over the hitter auarrel between tn norlarohSr, h ilnnn.iKit Jackson and Calhoun, and-in the gin- ryof his unrivalled patriotism.

His last effort, like his first, endeared him to the democratic party of the free States. Jackson's proclamation and Webster's speech in support of it were pinned to the democratic banners of Pennsylvania, and when ,the gieat statesman journeyed to the west, after great struggle, the people of alL par ties greeted him as their idol. At Pittsburg, Pa., he spoke of General Jaokson, as Follows: "Gentlemen: The President of the United States was, as its'eemed to me, at this eveiltful crisis, true to his du ty. He comprehended and under stood the case, and met it as it was proper to meet It. While I am as willing as others to admit that the President has on other occasions Ten dered important service to the coun try, and especially on that occasion which has given him so much milita ry renown, I yet think the ability and decision with which he resisted the disorganizing doctrines of nullifi cation created a clairr. than which he has none higher, to tue gratitude of the country aud the respect of poster ity. The issuing of the proclamation on the 10th of December inspired me, I confess, With new hopes fcr the du ration 01 me repuunc. wouiu not be understood to speak of particular clauses and phrases in the proclama tion, hut its great aud leading doc trines I regard as the true and only true doctrines of the constitution. They constitute the sole ground on which dismemberment can be resist ed. Nothing else, in my opinion, can hold us together. While those opinions are entertained the union will last; when they shall be gener ally rejected and abandoned that un ion will be at the mercy of a tempo rary majority in aiiy one of the States. " The dream, was dissolved in a few months. In September of 1S33 the deposits were removed from the bank of the United States by order of Pres ident Jackson, and Henry Clay took tho field as the whig leadt-r to resist this daring act. To Henry Clay must be conceded the palm of prosecuting the war against President Jackson's administration on the bank question. It was a Splendid campaign. In some respects he was the equal of his in domitable antagonist. Like Jackson, he feared nothing and dared every thing. He Interposed no screen, no evasion, but advanced to the front of the battle. Aided by Calhoun, who was panting for revenge for the defeat of nullification, he changed the Jack son majority of tho Senate into a mi nority, and founded the whig party upon the animosities of that exciting period. Ripfd in attack, fertile of re sources, witty, eloquent, and unwav ering, he would have peen the con querer but for the failure of the bank, and even in the face of that calamity. agaiusl any other adversary but An drew Jackson. His Illustrations were peculiarly fe licitous. The civil and loving expres sions with which Gen. Jackson eject ed Mr. Duane his recusant Secreta ry of the Treasur3 reminded him. he taid, of one of the most remarka ble characters which our species has produced: "When Oliver Cromwell was contending fdr the mastery in Great Britain or Ireland, 1 1 do not re member which j, he besieged a certain Catholic town. The place made a brave resistence ; but at leugth. being likel3 to be taken, the poor Catholics proposed termsof capitulation, among which was one stipulating for the tol eration of their religion. Tho paper containing the conditions being pre sented to Oliver, be put on his spec tacles, and, after deliberately exam ining them, cried out, 'Oh, yes, grain ed, granted, certainty ; but,' he added with stern determination, 'if one of them shall dare to be found attending una?s, he shall be Instantly hanged." But Cla3 will not be cherished or read in after ages as Webster is read and cherished. His speeches have none of that golden glory, Increasing in value with years; none of that Mil tcnic resonance, none of that spiritu al aroma, which constitute the endur ing web and woof of Daniel Web ster's productions. We heard Clay as we read the brilliant novel of to-day as we devour Charles Readeor Geo. Elliott. We turn to Webster as we turn to Shakspeare. as a well-spring of inspiration as the great original from which the proudest are not ashamed to cop3. The recollection of the glorious campaign against nullification re strained Webster all through this ex citing period. He participated in lit tle of the heat aud auger of the Ken tucky statesman. He believed Presi dent Jackson to have transcended h-li powers, and he so voted in the Sea ate, L'Ut to the last he spoke of him with respect. Kad the war on the bank of the United Slates not inter vened, I have alwa3'3 believed that Daniel Webster would have been a leader, if not the leader, of the demo cratic part3, precisely as Stephen A. Douglas would have been prominent in the republican party, If he had not died Juue 3, 1SG1. Never before was the current phrase that "Histo repeats Itself more strikingly illustrated than- in the parallel between Calhoun's course in 1832-33. and that of Jefferson Da vis in 1SG0-G1. The one was, in fact, a copy of the other. .And not less striking is the resemblance between the attack of the Democratic leaders upon Webster in 1830, and thei-r con version or overthrow In 1833, and the bitter assault of the secession leaders upon Douglas in 1553, and their defeat in 1SCU. Jackson, Webster and Calhoun ! They will never be forgotten. Dlfler- leut in character, in capacity, and in ambition, the statue of each occupies a separate and conspicuous niche iu the historic temple. We remember Jackson for his heroic patriotism, and for these words, from his appeal to South Carolina, in his proclamation of Dec 10, iSCO, bo effective in the past and so weighty in the present: "Snatch from the archives of your State the disorganizing edicts of its convention, bid its members reassem ble, and promulgate tL 'ided ex pression of your wiH, toit-ninin the pain wuicn cau umut; unuuu t uu t safety, prosperity, and honor; tell them that, compared to disunion, all I other evils are light, because that brings with it an accumulation of all Declare that you will never take ther I .- t. .. fin!. itnUxi tha ef tranon rr art mnnap nr vour country shall float over you: that you will not be stigmatized when dead, and dishonored ana scorned while you live, as $h,e uthora of the who first caused the disorder." We remember Webster as the cham pion of constitutional liberty, endur Ingly illustrated in the following pas sage from his speech in the Senate, April, 1S34, on Jaokson's protest: "It was against the recital of an act of parliament, rather than any suffer ings under its enactments, that the colonists took up arms. They went to war against a preamble." Thej fought seven years against a declara tion. They poured out their treasures and their blood like water, in a con test In opposition to an assertion whioh those less sagacious and not so well schooled in the pridcipies of civ il liberty would have regarded as bar ren phraseology or mere parade of words. Thej- saw in the claim of the British parliament a seminal princi ple of mischief, the germ of unjust power; they detected it, dragged, it forth from underneath its plausable disguise, struck at it; nor did it elude their stead 3' e3'e or their well directed blow, till they had extirpated and de stroyed it to the smallest fibre. On this question of principle, while ac tual suffering was 3'et afar off, Up raised their flag against a power to which, for purpose of foreign con quest and subjugation, Rome, in the height of her glory, was not to be compared a power which has dotted over the surface of the whole globe with her possessions and military posts, whose morning drum-beat, fol lowing the sun and keeping company with the hours, circles the earth dai ly with one continuous and unbroken strain of the martial airs of England." And we remember Calhoun for the purit3'ofhis private and public life, not as the advocate of a good doctrine perverted to bad uses, but as the apos tle of science in statesmanship, so well s3'rubolized in the senate when he tried in vain to justify nullification, Felrd':y 1.33: "Metaph3sical reasoning means the power of analysis and combination." it is the power," he said, "which raises man above the brute which distinguishes man's faculties from mere sagacitj", which he holds in com mon with inferior animals. It is this power which has raised the astrono mer from being a mere, gazer at the stars to the high intellectual eminence of a Newton or La flrce, and astron onray itself, from a mere observation of insulated facts, iuto that noble science which dispIa3Ts to our admi ration the S3stem of the universe And shall this high power of the mind, which has"; affected such won ders, when directed to the laws which control the material world, be forever prohibited, under a seiiseless cry of m9taph3slcs fronibelng applied to the ui'ghty purpose of political science and legislation? I hold them to be subject to laws as fixed as matter it self, and to be as fit a subject for the application of the highest intellectual power.

That he would prove able! to give an inquirer a wholesome les son in domestic economy, the follow ing incident, in relatiug which, names areavcuied, will prove; Un a recent Sunda3, said West Side Episcopalian minister went through the morning service as usual, though it was notic ed by man- of the congregation that he lacked his usual fervor and earnest ness. When it grew near the time for reading the sermon it -was appar ent that the reverend gentleman was suffering from a cause unknown to his congregation. The text of the homily was read, and at this juncture the minister broke down. "He an nounced the cause of his doing so. He had not been to market the day before for the simple reason that he had had no ruauey to go there with. autlthe mrst unfeeling of parishioners will ad mit that even fora mau whose calling is supposed to fit him for trials and self abnegation, a trip to an overflow ing market can be anything but pleas ant to a man with empty pocket.

Clearing Honscls, ad.so Its Business Is Cunductcil! From the Kansas City Journal. The "clearinghouse" has been often, spoken of during the panic, and our readers may not fully understand what it Is and it is much more easily uuaerstooo than described. It is an association of banks, or a. bank composed of all the banks. A merchant ofKansas Cit3 does his bus iness with the First National, A GU37 tomer pa3 him a debt bj- a draft on the Mastin bank. The merchant don't go to the latter and draw the. money, but deposits the check with the First National, and gets credit for it, and the check is collected from the Mastin bj- the First National. And so of all the banks in the cit3 they receive checks on each other as cash, and tbus,save the enstomer the trouble of running from bank to bank. Be; this wa3' it will be seen that in a day each bank receives numerous checks and drafts on the others. It would be an infinite trouble for each bank to send its messenger for the 11101163 to evtri other bank on eveay check, for while the messenger of the Commercial National may bepreseat-. ing a thousand duHur check at the Kansas Ci.3' National, its clerk may be receiving the cash on a twej.nq. hundred dollar draft at the other. Altd the messengers of Smarts' and Wat kins' bank might pass each other half a dozen times a da3 with collections. The clearing house saves all thig, trouble. At an hour fixed by ihe rules the clerks of all the tanks meet at the board of trade rooms, having with them all the checks and drafts in their banks agatt st every other bank in thecit3. Each clerk then de livers to the manager of the clearing house a statement of how much each bank must pa3' his own, and these footed up show how much he ninst re ceive from all. The several amounts are entered ort a blank, aud show how much all should receive. And thus the sums to be paid and received b3 eaeh, and the aggtegate for all are ascer tained. Then. each c!e-K delivers to the oth ers the checks and drafts going to make up the sums he claims to be due him, and receives the same held' against his bank in return. By thse statements the manager ascertains at a glance what is due from each bank and the gros3 amount due from all : also, the amount due to each, and all. And these duplicate anionuts.Lhus as certained must be setthtd and balan ces made good before any clerk leaves the room, or the bank bo failing is "broke." Bj this mssns all-mistakes are pre-, vented gstting into the baiks, the trouble and risk of messengers earning inone- to and fro avoided, and the condition of ever bank in the association, whether sound or uu-. sound, is acertained for each dajv The convenience of such aiupMem, can read.13' be understood. The clear ing house ma3' be called a bank with only banks for customers, juntas an ordinary bank with individuals for customers. As in ordinary banking, John Doe does his business with the Fir-tt National, which agrees to pay all drafts he may draw on it, he agree in? to Fend all the money, bill.-;, nofes j or drafts in the course of his business. iu uiuKf 11 shiu 111 uoiiig ho. xt tne eloo of business on each day he most make hie account of money paid iu fhaltatice what the batik has paid out for him or he is broke. So in the clearing house, all the banks send to it each day all they have against eaeh. Ian the ballanee must tie mmle gowl In car-Ii. or the one failinir Is inst like John Doe -broke.
