Important Legal Decisions.
From the Galveston News.l


There were two important decisions
rendered by Judge Bradley, of the Uni
ted States supreme court, sitting as cir
cult Judge, during the present term of
the United States circuit court in this
city, which are Of interest to the legal
profession.
The cases were as follows: A petition
i'm involuntary bankruptcy was filed on
behalf of creditors, upon which the
debtors were declared bankrupts with
out contest. The auditors applied to
the district Judge for a fee for their at
torneys, which was denied and a re-
view taken beforethe circuit judge.
Upon the hearing, Judge Bradley
sustained the decision of the district
Judge, thus settling the question that
i'm uncontested cases In involuntary
bankruptcy, attorneys for petitioning
creditors are not entitled to taxed
fees.
The other case decided was a petit
ton by attorneys for allowance OF fees
as costs for preparing petition and
schedules and for advice, in a case OF
voluntary bankruptcy, the decision OF
the district Judge having been adverse
to the claim. The honorable judge OF
the circuit court sustained the decision
Of the district judge, and decided thai
this claim must be proved as an unse'
cured debt against the bankrupts es
tate, and paid pro rata with the othel
creditors of the estate, at the same
time remarking that any fee paid IL
good faith by the bankrupts, for lega
services of like mature, would b.
valid, r Ire AaHs,

Home Rule in Ireland.

In the house of commons, on last
Thursday night, the discussion of DIR.
Butts home-rule motion was resumed.
Daniel O'D0Bohue, member for Iralee,
said the home rule movement was n
miserable compromise concocted by
those who did not dare to face the pen
alties of Fenianism. He acknowledged
the desire of England to conciliate Ire
land, and said that persistence in this
agitation would be in defiance of graft
tude, justice and common sense. He
said the ultimate object of the leaders
of the movement was toincite the Irish
to force a repeal Of the union,
and their success would plunge
Ireland into civil war and
annul the recent progress in that coun-
try. He said further that if England
continued to remove every pretext for
plea of misgovernment in Ireland,
the result would by disgraceful fail
ure of the movement. He firmly be-
lieved its success would bring ruin to
the interests of every man in Ireland.
Mr.. Robert Lowe, member for the
university of London, said the estab-
lishment of local Irish parliament
would involve the necessity of similar
bodies in Scotland and England, and
the result would be constant disputes
and difficulties.
Mr.. Disraeli was unable to agree that
Ireland had a right to greater amount
of self-government than Scotland and
England. He demonstrated the
groundless of the complaint that Irish
men We're not appointed to high offices
of the government, and denied that
Ireland was treated as conquered coun-
try. He said two separate parliaments
would be constantly in collision. The
minority in the Irish parliament would
be always appealing to the imperial
parliament. He opposed the motion
because it would be injurious to both
countries.
To accept this motion would produce
disintegration in England, and might
result in the destruction of the empire.
Mccarthy, Mitchell, Nolan, the
O'Connor Don and others spoke in
support of the motion.
At late hour the house divided, and
DIR. Butts resolution was rejected

Governor ThrOckmOrtOn's Speech
[Gainesville Gazette.l


On last Wednesday evening large
audience assembled at the court house
10 hear Governor ThroclSmorton and
Judge Hare, candidates for congress,
discuss the issues of the day. Governor
Throckmorton arose first, and in his
usual dignified and happy style, gave
an account of his past acts and public
services as the true and faithful repre-
sensitive of this people. He briefly
animadverted to the length of time
which he had served this people in the
most responsible positions within their
gifts, and to the potent fact that, new
er once in all this time, had the finger
of disapprobation been pointed at him.
He showed cOnclusively that he has
accomplished more for the settlement
of this country, for procuring homes
for the people, and for the protection
of the frontier than any other man in
the state. He then alluded to his eff
forts while governor in repelling rapine
and violence and securing just adj
ministration with the lowest rate of
taxation known to the people of this
state. ta.
The presumption laws under which
many of our people now hold their
homes were introduced and sustained
by him. In 1856, he effected the sale
of the university lands, which secured
those lands to occupants at three dol
lars per acre with twenty years in
which to pay for them. He now fayors
making the university lands and other
public lands of the state available in
the cause of education, by which these
people and their children may realize
Something from them. He has always
favored internal improvements, and
has advocated the introduction of rail-
roads both as means of civilization,
and rs means OF, frontier protection,
but has meyer advocated q money sub
sidy for any road. When the storm
cloud has lowered over our state, and
the minds of men were filled with
CONSERVATION and dismay, and they
knew not where to look for safety,
ThrOckmorton has ever been found at
his post, and true to his trust has evei
had the moral courage to declare hi:
political sentiments, and oppose perse.
cutions even at the sacrifice of position
and self-aggrandizement. Such was
the case when he opposed the recon
struction acts, for which he was de
posed. He has ever sought with al
his energy to keep monopolies within
the power of the representatives of tn,
people. He favors the construction o
railroads, but demands equal right
and benefits i'm their construction. H,
desires a return to specie basis, ant
opposes tariff for protection:
Claiming a perfect record, ohalleng
ing the closest scrutiny, he promises
IL elected, to sever every connection
that would hinder fair and homes
representation of the people.
