United STATES DISTRICT CoURT.-Judge
Hughes.-On Thursday interlocutory orders
were made in several bankrupt cases:
In the matter of Joseph Solomon, bank
| rnpt, on motion of John Dunlop, counsel
for Gibson & Crilly, creditors, an order was
entered by the Judge sending up for review
to the United States Circuit Court the uues-
tion of power of the maker of a negotiable
note to waive the homestead of himself and
family.
The case OF Harvey us. Jacobs, bankr,1nt
was argued by counsel but, not concludad'
| Yesterday the Judge delivered the follow.
| ing opinion: .... ...,'.,,... .,........
In the matter of Wdggoner G Haruev, In
| voluntary Bankrupt: The application of the
bankrupts for discharge is resisted by some
Of the creditors on several grounds, which
have been argued at length.
It's unnecessary to pass upon these objec-
tions at the present time.
For the acts of July 27. 1868, and of July
IA, 1870, provide that " no discharge shall
be granted to debtor whose assets shall not
be equal to fifty per centum of the claims
proved against his estate upon which he
Shall be liable as principal debtor, unless the
assent in writing of a majority in
number and value OF his creditors to
whom he shall have become liable as
principal debtor, and who shall have
proved their claims, be filed in the case at
the time of the application for discharge: !:
provided that thlS act shall not apply to
debts which were contracted prior to 1st OF
January, 1862 No such assent in writing
has yet been filed. 1t is admitted that the
assets were not equal on fair valuation TO
fifty per centum of the claims proved, which
were contracted by the bankrupt partners
after the LIST day of January, 1869.
When the consent in writing of a majority
in number and amount of the proving crel-
itors upon debts created subsequent to 1868
shall have been filed, then it will he compe-
tent for the bankrupts to renew their appli-
cation; and then The court will pass upon
the objections which have been made to the
discharge by some Of the creditors.

cAsyAss,NG FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS.


DIR. Parker favored the proposition of DR..
Burrows to appoint committee to canvass
the city for subscriptions, but spoke of the
difficulty of getting volunteers for the duty.
In regard to asking aid from the churches he
said that the committee had not realized as
much from the sale of tickets as they bad
hoped. and there seemed to be no other way
to raise funds than to ask it Of the churches.
Mayor Kelley had never supposed that a
large amount would be raised from the sale
of tickets by depositing them at certain
points. They should be given to active,
energetic meu, whose hearts were in the
work, who would endeavor to sell them,
and he would be one Of any given number
to undertake the task. But few have an
idea of the great amount of suffering now
existing in the community. Tue wolf Is
staring the poor in the fuce. 1t Is useless
TO send coke 10 many families for burning in
their stoves, for they had been sold to buy
meal. A number of families in the city had
had but one meal day for weeks. Twenty
men. skilled mechanics, had been in his
Office within the last few days begging for
work-men willing TO roll stones on the
streets, or sweep them, as the chaln.gang
are now doing, in order to earn the means
of getting bread for their families. Unless
relief is afforded, the next six weeks will see
such suffering here as we have never known.
An appeal 10 the Council such as that pro-
posed seems to be the onIy measure TO re-
Iieye the pressing wants. but much May be
raised by selling the tickets, rs has been pro-
posed.
Dr. Parker offered the following resolu-
ton:
.Resoloed, That each minister in the city
be requested to designate some person from
his church who will report to the Relief
Committee on Tuesday evening at 4so'clock,
for the purpose Of canvassing the city to
raise funds tor the relief Of the poor"
Drs. Dashiell, Wall, Read, and Burro VS.
warmly approved the plan, and the resolu-
