Correspondence Of the Baltimore Patriot.
WASHINGTON, June 10, 1910.
UNITED STATES SENATE.
BankruDt Bill.
Bankrupt Bill.

Mr.. Webster presented a memorial from
a large number of citizens of New York,
demonstrating against the principles and
opinions of the members of the Board OF
Trade, as expressed in a memorial lately pre-
sented to the Senate, and purporting to come
from the Board.
The present memorialists declare the
opinion, that to require the consent of all
the creditors to the discharge of the debtor,
would defeat the purpose of the bankrupt
law. The claims against a debtor are fire.
quently brought up as an investment by a
single person. To require the consent of
the whole claims in such case would defeat
the whole object.
Mr.. Webster moved that the memorial
should be referred to the Select Committee
on the subject. He had a strong conviction,
that in the present condition of the country,
there was nothing so deserving of the seri.
Gus attention Of Congress, as this subject of
the bankrupt system. Indeed, he would saw
that a bill which is not unconstitutional, could
scarcely be so bad that he would not vote
for it.
The memorial was referred, and ordered
to be printed.
Reduction of Wages.
Mr.. Southland presented a memorial from
the laborers and artiicers employed in the
manufacture of coach laces, asking for a pro-
%tective duty on the foreign article. This
memorial (Mr. S. said) came from men who
complained Of the reduction of their wages,
and who were anxious not to be reduced TO

u Nothing Of interest from Washington
by Thursdays mail. In the House, it seems
that every member has a speech to make on
the Independent Treasury bill. 1t is time
that this bill should be disposed Of; the sub
ject has been exhausted, and the minds Of the
people are already made up for or against it.
Further discussion, is nothing but a pro6tless

The STEAM SHIP UNICORN arrived at Bos
ton on the Sd inst. from Liverpool, via Hall
fax. This vessel is one Of a line which
it is contemplated will ply regularly between
the above points. The Bostonians received
her with many demonstration of Joy. The
establishment of this line promises to add
much to the commercial Importance of the
emporium of New England. The news from
the Continent is of but little interest. A
commercial treaty is announced between
England and France. Nothing definite has
transpired in relation to the North East
Boundary. The emigration to America is
almost unprecedented: More than 1000
left Liverpool within six weeks In France
the removal of the remains of Buonaparte,
is the subject Of most exciting interest.
We scarcely look into a paper nowadays
but we find some dedication" announ-
ced, or the account of some fellow that has
started for Texas, leaving his creditors or
employers minus a few thousand. Swind-
ling. defrauding and cheating is done by the
wholesale, and the more extensive the fraud,
the better the hope, to speak in fashionable
style, for the .defaulter" to escape punish
ment, if he should be detected, or repent him.
self. Every body has heard Of Swartwout.
He has had the honor of adding a new word
TO the English vocabulary. And there is
Price, and Surtees, and Lewis, and New
combe and Dabney, and a host of others
whose names will not be unknown to fame.
Private leg-treasurers seem however to be
more numerous than those occupying public
stations, and bank officers are pre-eminently
afflicted with this mania at present. There
are rumors upon rumors in Philadelphia of
another astounding fraud in one of the
banks of that city, while here at home, two
steamboat clerks are supposed to have OBJ
tanned a similar ~notoriety on n smaller scale.
These reports seem to need confirmation,
and we shall therefore await further ssdevel-
opcments."

The number of new routs established in

The miles of road covered by service on

The amount of surplus in hand, in the
year 1887, when the suspension of specie
payments occurred, was about 100000.

How many miles of the new are covered

lar manufacture in Europe. He moved tn
reference to the Committee on manufactu
rers.
Mr.. Lumpkin said many memorials OIL
this subject had been referred to the commit
Lee on Manufactures; but the COMMITTEES
were of opinion that any legislation in ref
erence to it belonged properly to the othe
branch OF Congress, as it referred to TIT
subject of revenue.
Rates of Postage.
Mr.. Webster laid on the table a resolution
declaring that the existing rates of postage
charged upon letters carried by the United
States mail ought to be reduced, and that i
is expedientt to inquire into the utility Of al
tering the system, so as to introduce the use
OF stamps, and stamped covers for letters
Mr.. Webster proposed these resolution:
merely for the purpose Of drawing attention
to the subject. 1t is a prevalent opinion
throughout the country and in Congress
that the present rates ought to be reduced,
The experience of England in its system o.
penny postage by means of stamps, is great.
ly deserving of the public attention. The
reduction in the rates Of letter postage Sc.
cures the revenue in England against defal.
cation. Whether the old system, as used in
England; can be applied to our country, de-.
serves consideration. He thought it might
be safely used. In a revenue point of view,
he thought at least a reduction Of the rates
of postage expedient. Travellers now go
as fast as the mail; and much correspondence
goes now by travellers. and pays no postage.
If the rates are reduced, the temptations to
send by private hands will be reduced. In
this case, more does not produce more-but
less, less produces more.
Mr.. Webster alsolaid on the table a stamp
and stamped envelope used in England, accor-
ding to the post office arrangements there.
The resolution was ordered TO be printed,
and the stamp and envelope were ordered
TO be engraved for the use of the Senate.
The Executive Scheme of a Standing Army.
Mr.. Roane called up his resolution for the
printing Of twenty thousand o. extra copies
of the report Of the Secretary Of War rela-
tive to a standing army.
Mr.. Preston made a most powerful and elo-
quent speech on the subject, demonstrating
the unconstitutionality and inexpedlency Of
the Executive scheme.
On motion OF Mr.. Norvell, the subject was
postponed till Friday next. The Senate
then passed to Private Bills.

The morning hour was sped in considering
the motion in reference to the Pilot Law.
Mr.. Curtis spoke at length in support Of
