SENATE.
| Tn the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Sawyer, Of $.
c., introduced bill to amend au actin relation
to the Alexandria Canal, which provides for
lowering the rates of toll over the Aqueduct
bridge and for the sale OF toll tickets BY the 100
at half rates, which was referred to the Cour-
mittee Of tile District Of Columbia. .,..,,- :
h1r. Lewis, Of Va, called7up the act to de-
clare the meaning of the amended bankrupt
act, so as to allow the. homestead laws Of the
States as existing in 1871, to be the exemp-
tions under the bankrupt law. -. ,-,.on-o- -.
Mr.. Conkliug thought that tic .bankruptlaW
would soon be repealed, and it was useless to
ribble around it in the shape of such amend
ments as this. '.- - ....,.'
Mr.. Hamilton, of Nd, supported the views
OF Mr. Conkling.
MIR. Thurman said that the present act was
merely to give effect to an act passed in 1870,
which had been rendered nul! by The iGtcrprc-
tation of the law. 81
Mr.. Bayard, Of Del, opposed the bill dcclar
ing it an attempt to impair the obligation OF
contracts
After some further debate the bill passed.
The following is the House bill which passed
and it now needs but the signature OF the lrcsl-
dent to become law: ....
AN ACT to declare the true intent and mean
ing of the act approved June eight: eighteen
