Correspondence Of The Tribune.
HARRISBURG, Feb. %, 1872
Sherilan's Tilburina could not see the Spanish
Aeet-because they we're not IL. sight For SINH
lar reason cannot report the doings four Legs
lature since my last communication because they
have done nothing. The Resumption Bill, which
passed the House by most docsive.majority was
committed in Senate to Loco oco Committee,
who so rcmodeled it that there is but little OF the
original left On Monday, after ten days debate
a vote was taken on the first section of the bill
with the flee per cent provaso stricken out, which
boils the matter down to On immediate, uncend-
tional Resumption. If this determination undergo
no change, then comes the grand question, how to
get over the contract made by the Revenue Bill of
May 4, 1841
With rather unique, but perhaps connendable
struig -forwardness, our Soons first pass lille
gal and unconstitutional section, and then cndeavor
so to patch it up and introduce technicaties to
seen, TO avoid Constitutional breach -.
[ want your readers to understand that, although
the Wings have a majority of one in Senate yet
all action on the subjects of Bunks and Resump-
ton originates with the Locos and opposition
is presented to any movement they may bring for
ward. What the ultimate shape of the Rcsulnp-
ton Bill may be when it comes back from Senate
cannot say. Yesterday was Legislative Dies
noa with us us the congregated wisdom of our
State think they do honor to the memory of Wash
ington and the day of his nativity by suspending
business at an expense of near q thousand dollars
to our crippled State, and when the people from
every quarter are holding up their hands in sup
pication for relief. To-day, however the subject
! of Resumption is again up5in Senate, and as soon
1 IA T can tell what the hill looks like. when it
comes from under the trip-hammers of the Sena-
tors, I will advise you. s. -.
20 We have received several letters urging us
to expose st farther the inquitous and oppressive
legal charges to which unfortunate Debtors are
here subjected in the process Of Bankruptcy. One
friend points US the fact that the same preimi-

Massachusetts taxed So As! The Advertising
which here costs 81 87t. there costs less than 49,
and in the Northern District of this State So ut
most So! Again, the Advertisements for this Dis
trict, though costing so much, are SO brief and
meagre as MOTTO state even the names of the Bank
rupt's Attorney; and whoever wishes to know it
must fee the clerk to find out. These are but a
part of the complaints which reach us but we
cannot find room to speak of them very largely
Their correction appears to rest wholly with the
U. S. Judges, and, as they do not appear to read
cheap papers, or even to consider them journals
at all within the moaning of the act, remon-
Strances in our humble sheet would probably an
swer no good purpose. But The Tribune is seen
and read by portion of the Bankrupts and these
We most earnestly urge TO make every effort to
| compromise with their creditors before wasting
money in legal proceedings. The Bankrupt Law
| is your strength and shield, friends just Law
is every mans shield but not one in ten ever needs
to invoke its special protection. If you have any
property or assets, make 4 schedule of your debts
and 90 frankly to each CREDITOR aud offer him his
fair shnre of all you have. If you have nothing,
take the $500 or 80 you can borrow to 60 through
the mill and offer each his share oftAat. If they
believe YOU honest and deserving, and know Gas
they must1 that to refuse is simply to throw so
much away, they will take what you Offer though
it be but one per cent, and give you clear. Try
this, we entreat you, before throwing away $500
to those who neither need nor deserve it, and who
will not thank you for it. You will probably be
| free six months sooner than otherwise.
