BANKRuprcY- PROPOSED RETROACTIVE
LAWS Senator Hitchcock has addressed
letter to Senator Edmunds, chairman OF the
committee on the judiciary, in which he says:
''Regretting the failure of the Senate to act,
prior to the holiday recess, upon the bill repeal
ins the bankrupt law 50 far at least as to wipe
out the present oppressive feature OF invoun-
tary haul ruptcy, and fearing that such failure
will aggravate financial suffering, ANA add others
to The already long list of victims, desire to OBJ
tain your opinion CT the feasibility OF so amend.
ing the bankrupt law as TO make the repeal OF
the oppressive feature retroactive, and also
your opinion as to the probability of the early
passage Of such amendments. Your rrputa.
ton as lawyer, aid position as chairman Of
the Senate judiciary committee, will give weight
to your opinion, and such opinion, if afirma-
lively given up 10 each of the propositions above
named, will, think, 20 lar to relieve public
anxiety, and prevent useless aud oppressive
litigation.
Senator Edmunds in his reply says: 81 d.
not profess to speak Tor any person but myself
of course, but, so speaking, | have no hcslta-
ton in saying that any provision that may be
made respecting the forcing of debtors into in
voluntary bankruptcy aud the proceeding there
upon. will SO far as my voice goes, be made
retroactive 10 such way that no p .rSou will
gain anything by any oppressive steps towards
debtors. Pending shc consideration Of the
question, as all such matters relate to remedies
which Congress may take away altogether if 1t
please, there will be 10 Improperly 10 making
any wise provision which regulates the proceed
ings to just ends as apply to pending cases, and
feel great couti icLce that such will be the
opinion Of the Senate.

The Washington; Republican says: The
end Of the Virginius case is not yet. 1t Is
evident that while the intricate complications
we have been called upon to encounter have
been safely passed, the delicacy of manag e.
meut which has characterized the policy Of
our Government in its treatment of the affair
up to this time is more essential now than ever
before. The decision of the Attorney General,
while it has not been altogether unexpected,
introduces new feature.

The New Y ork Tribune correspondent, writ
ing from Washington, AYERS that MIR. Garfield
intends to bring up the salary question again 10
the House soon after the recess by moving to
suspend the rules so as to enable the Appro-
priation Committee to insert section in the
executive, legislative and judicial appropriation
bill reducing to the old standard all the salaries
that were raised by the bill of March g. Such
a motion: would NOT BE .debatable, and would

CoRCoRAN VS.. c. T. O. CANAL GOETHE
case of w. W. Corcoran ct al. vs.. Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Company, which involves the
question whether the coupons on the preferred
bonds of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com
pany bear interest from their maturity, as
against the mortgages held by the State of
Maryland on the property aud returns of the
canal, was argued yesterday iu Washington, in
the special term before Mr.. Justice WyIie by
Mcpherson and Bryant for MIR. Corcoran and
the other compIuiuants, and by j. ?. Poe aud
Bernard Garter for the canal company The
bin was dismissed without prejudice to the in.
terest due on coupons if delivery thereof shall
be made or suit therefor. The justice held
that though the coupons might bear interest
against the canal company, yet they did not as
against the State Of Maryland as the State had
waived its eio to the extent only Of the prlncl-
pal of said bonds and simple interest. The
suit involved over half million dollars. An
appeal was taken to the general term, from
whence the case will 60 to the Supreme Court
of the United States.

TELEGRAPH ABsoRprIoN.-It is announced
that the great monopoly, the Western Unlon
Telegraph Company, alter its usual fashion OF
gobbng up competing lines, has now absorb
cd, by lease, the Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph
Company lines These lines extend from New
York to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pi,tsburg,
Columbus, indianapolis, ST. Louis, and ST:
Paul, branching at Dubuque to Chicago, and
from Chicago to Cineiuuati, Louisville, Nash
vile, Memphis, and New Orleaus, about 5 900
miles Of line and 10000 miles of wire. The
Union Company already own lines running to
all these points, and by means Of their owu
machinery they can take the added business OF
the Pacific aud Atlantic Company (aboul $500
600 per anuum) without, it is stated, materially
increasing their running expenses: and at the
same time shut off competition. The theory
is, according to the New York Tribune, that
managed by the Western Uuion, the business
can be done at one half the expense that would
attend separate management. But will 1t be
done at one half the old charges, or at any re-
ducton at'all. If not, what does the public
gain ?-But SIN.

New ENGLAND CELEBRATION. The New
England Society Of New York held their an
nual banquet yesterday. Gen. Eliot q. Cow
den presided Among the distinguished per-
sons present we're Gen. Sherman, Senator
Sumner Gov Howard, of Rhode Island,
Judge Noah Davis, Mayor Havemeyer, Henry
Ward Bcccher, Judge Brady aud Rev. NJ. IL.
Gallagher.
Mr.. Sumner, in response to one Of the toasts
delivered an eloquent eulogy on the pilgrims,
lie claimed that their landing at Plymouth was
an epoch in the history of the world They
had leavened the American continent and
would eaven the world. Republican govern
ment could not fail as long as it was true to
their teachings, the success OF which proved
the success of moral ideas over all material
considerations General Sherman responded
for the army and navy. He referred to the
duties of military men as men OF peace. Wash
ipgton was a man of peace. All officers IN the
army are men of peace but in war are at the
service OF our God aud our country. He then
described the relative positions OF the eglsla
tors aud soldiers aud would impress upon all
that we soldiers always bow down to the law:
He requested that the poor soldiers be treated
lenientIy. Ii there is to be any respect Tor the
laws let our Congress give us better laws to en-
toce, for we are but the executors OF the laws.
When the civil laws cauuot be enforced the mill
tary power then is called upon to carry out the
laws passed by our rulers

BANKRUPTCY CASES. The Supreme Court
of the United States has rendered Il decision OF
some importance to such creditors as use dill
gence in obtaining judgment in the State Courts
against an insolvent debtor before he goes into
bankruptcy. Vanderhoof Brothers were IN
debtcd to the City Bank of ST. Paul. The
bank brought suit ond obtained Judgment. the
defendants suffering the same to be entered by
default. Execution issued forthwith, and me
entire stock of goods was seized by the sheriff
TO satisfy the Judgment. Soon afterwards the
Vanderhoofs went into bankruptcy. Tie as
signce, representing the other creditors, sought
to have the goods seized at the suit OF the
bank made part Of the bankrupts assets and
applied to the payment OF the claims oil all
the creditors 1t was alleged that there was
fraudulent colluson between the bank and the
Vandcrhoof-, and that one creditor had been
preferred to the prejudice of all the rest The
case was brought to the Supreme Couri upon a
certificate of division of opinion 10 the Circnlt
Court for Minnesota The Court held that the
iutent to give preference to the bank or to de-
feat or delay the operation OF the Bankrupt
act could not be Inferred from the facts stated.
1t was further decided that debtor who has
no defence to an action for debt cannot be
rightuIly charged with conniving with the
| plaintiff to defeat the operation Of the Bank
rupt act merely because he allows Judgment to
go against him by default, and the lien thus
obtained cannot be displaced, although the
debtor soon Afterwards petitions for the bene-
fit Of the Bankrupt law--BuH. Am

The Bullion Tax.

49,.
While the journals of the State are
discussing and urging upon the atten-
ton of the Legislature IN my reforms
that need inaugurating 10y that body
/ l the form of Laws, would it not lie
we'll to ask the attenti) IN OF the law
makers to the injustic, of discrimin-
ating against the base metal districts
by ali onsrous tax OH the pig lead
produced by our fOrnaces The
present tax on lead bullion is bur.
den that is severely felt by u smelt-
ers aud mine-own-rs, and one that
other districts, produc ny only free
ore, are not subject to. II it were not
for the high percentage Of silver and
gold which our ores contain, this
tax could not be borne at all, when
super2dded to the cost Of t%ranspOrta-
ton Of the bullion to places where
the lead and the precious metals a II
be parted. So great y wrong is this
felt to he, that one of III most promi-
nsnt mining and smelling COM
panies not long since stood
the brunt Of y law suit TO
determine its constitutionality, be-
fore they would submit to the exac-
ton. 1t is very doubtful, indeed.
whether this State has a right even to
tax the proceeds of the mines. That
r;,kt ,ca, t;r,t ossun,oI o,,l ovorcisuj
by the Congress of the United States,
as recognizing the ownership of the
United States in all mines upon the
public domain. Why Il double tax
should be aid upon these proceeds
one to the United States Government
and another to. the State Govern
ment-it is difficult 10 under
stand. The land and the mime
rails in the same belong to
the United States. 1t does not
become real estate, subject to taxa
ton rs such, until a full title is OBJ
tanned from the United States Govern
ment. Then where is the right or the
j NASbICO vi IlIC St1tC ILL SdAIIll Vic DuO-
ceeds Of the working OF these mines,
ami selling . mine under execution
when the tax remains unpaid? The
tax ON lead bullion is e>en less de-
tensible than taxing the miner for the
avails of his LABOR in raising the ore
to the surface. Tle result OF this ex-
fnwnfinu il that thn ~ aud
bullion produced are SO loaded with
expense that very little is left to the
miner or srnelter alter all deductions
are m de from the gross value. The
richness OF the ore is the only sal
Walton from utter bankruptcy for
both. The Legislature ought in JUS
tice to remove this burden from those
districts of the State whose produc-
ton mostly consists Of base metal.
The RereiHe says Austin has fur.
nished base to all the towns OF Eastern
Nevada. And furthermore. that a
pretty woman or respectable man
cannot be shown who did not ON
from Austin, and that they have "a
few more Of the same sort" The lat
ter statement cannot he true, because
il all our pretty women came from
Austin, that ambitious and boastful
village must now be entirely depopu-
lated. AS tn the respect tble men. the
people of Austin don't wantthe county
seat removed, and would rather give
lis our new county, because it is so
handy" to have a county Jail in
