BANKRUPT LAW.

This subj ect was again discussed at some
length, by Messrs. Strange, Wall, Walker and
others Mr.. Benton's speech yesterday, was a
most perfect party speech, declaring that the pc
titions for the bankrupt law were gotten up for
party purposes; that there was no distress. He
insisted that the wings at the bottom Of the
whole business; that wages would become lower
and scarcer, until after the election of President,
and then business would revive again and money
become plenty.
What an insult is this to the feelings of the un-
fortunate.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
WASHINGTON. Nav 81.


The Presumption Bill, and the Sub Treasury
Bill, have been the two subjects before the
House to-day. The former bill finally passed
the House last night, by large majority. MIR.
Afford of Georgia, a talented and original man,
moved a reconsideration of the vote upon the
bill. The friends of the bill attempted to pre-
vent action upon the bill, by joint order, 0he
bill having been sent to the Senate,) the Speaker
decided that the motion to reconsider was in or
der, and the House, by large majority, con-
firmed the decision. At the conclusion of MIR.
Affords speech, and after an attempt to obtain
call of the House, the vote was taken upon the
action to reconsider. The yeas and nays were
called, and the motion lost, by the close vote of
103 to &c.
The Sub Treasury Bill was briefly discussed
before the House, before the recess. Mr. Cush-
ing, of Mass had but time to commence con-
tinuation of his speech.
The morning business was continuation OF
the discussion upon the bill reported by the com
mittee on commerce, in relation to the New York
Pilots. The subject was not disposed of.
Mr.. Sergeant, from the committee on the Ju-
dietary, reported adversely to the petition pre-
scented by MIR. Adams, in relation to the conduct
of Judge Mclean. MIR. S. said that the COM
mittee were unanimously of opinion that the
charges of the petitioner entirely unfounded.
The bill for the benefit of the Howard Institu-
ton of the city of Washington, was taken up,
but the feeling seemed very general that nothing
would be done for the relief of that institution,
until Messrs. Crittenden, Merrick, Henderson,
and others, advocated it, when the bill was at
last passed by vote of 26 toll
The number Of bills suddenly passed by the
House of Representatives and placed before the
Senate, has been such as to oblige the committee
on Pensions to sit during the sessions of the SEN

the Cleveland and Buffalo to Green Bay, with
