Mr. BERRlEN moved its reference TO the oom-
mit,eo ON the Judiciary and briefly gave ms reason"
for doing So The subject OF bankrupt law wa
one of great importance, ana nc "ous"
that a bill proposing repeal should go 70
committee for examination. He had not seen any
thing in public opinion which showed that s. stem
of mercantile bankruptcy might not be appheu 70 q
commercial community. Again, he was LOT e icre, ~. &c
in order TO relieve Congress, IL possioie' foh "'
odium OF that instability OF legislation which was ~
WAYS fatal 10 any country The subject shouiu ~
least be considered by committee before acleo upon
by the Senate. 81,
Mr. BENTON replied, and expressed Himself =.
warmly in opposition 10 the Bankrupt law no" ~
force He pronounced il To be nothing more u'a',
the British nsolvent debtors law for the apoioa OF
debts in the United States. Unlike the law oil looo
il broke I'D the State insoyent laws, and became IL
self an nsolven law. He protested against the mo
ton of the Senator from Georgia. IL was uhparia-
mentary to send bill committee opposed 10 iile
measure and if il as sent there he should consider
il fatal To the bill slf He called for the yeas ana
nays upon the question of reference, which were OF
dered.
Mr. TAILMADGE said that he did not think the
question of reference involved any vital prhciPie
From what he had seen, he inferred That me "a"
would be repealed but he hoped that IL would DC
done after reference to and an examination by
committee.
Mr. BERRlEN again briefly advocated the refer
ence, and contended that no one by voting TO refer
committed himself for or against the bill.
MIR. BENTON said that if the call for the yeas
and nays embarrassed any Senator who might wish
to vote for reference and repeal he would withdraw
the call
Mr.. CRITTENDEN observed that he wished to
vote for the reference and be should vote for the
peal ia shape, though not in the form presented
by the Senator from Missouri.
Mr. MERRICK said that he was about to make
the remark. He should like to crafty the Sen
ator from Georgia by reference, and should vote for
the repeal and perhaps in the form proposed by the
Senator from Missouri
Mr.. BENTON then withdrew his call for the
yeas and nays; and the bill, by vote of IL to Is,
was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
The Senate w,ni into an Executive session, and
subsequently adjourned.

THE UNSIGNED BILLS.

Our readers will see, by the Message from
the President, in to-dry's paper, that sufficient
time was not allowed him by Congress- to ex-
anime the Distribution bill, and the bill 'recu-
lating the taking of testimony in cases of con-
tested elections, andt ofherpurposes." Suf-
6cien, time was not allowed him TO read them,
much less to reto them, had the latter course
been the result of his convictions of duty.
