ANOTHER MYSTERY.-The body OF an I'M
known white man was found at the corner
of Twelfth and Adams streets, near the
woods, evidently dead some time. The un-
dershirt was OF white cotton, light colored,
heavy wooden pantaloons with black stripes
and a buckskn vest. 1t does not appear
that there were any papers on the body to
indicate who he was, nor is there any evil
dence to point ont the manner of his death.

POLICEMAN DEAD.-At eleven o'clock last

of consumption. For eleven years he
served as a soldier in the regular army, and
had the best kind of recommendations from
his superior officers. He was appointed on
the police force on the written recommend
alton of President Grant, with whom he
served as orderly during the war. He has
been on the force three years, and was rated
as one Of the best men in the precinct. He
has been sick about eight months. His COM

timony proves that our account OF the
trouble was correct. There had been
quarrel about the election for delegates,

cut Harris with a knife. Dupart is in

Needed Amendments Of the Bankrup,
Law

A writer In the Philadelphia Telegraph ar
CUES strongly in favor Of the amendment by
Congress OF the bankrupt law, and says the ne
cessity for such amendment has been practi
cally Illustrated by the meeting OF the creditors
OF Jay Cooke & Co., and the subsequent events
which have occurred during the last week 1t
is worthy of note that while the debts of the
firm exceeded eight millions of dollars, the
amount represented by the creditors forcing
them into bankruptcy were not over twenty
thousand dollars. The writer shows that if the
estate had been wound up under the agreement
signed by over seventy per cent of the cred
itors, settlements could already have been eff
fected by which at least one-hslf if not three
fourths Of the debts would already have been
discharged, and that probably the whole estate
would have been wound up within SIX months
from the suspension. and adds:
" IL Is the common experience of the business
men OF this community that there are ALWAYS a
lew creditors who refuse TO sign any agreement
OF settlement, in order that they may extort
fTom the debtors or their friends, or the larger
creditors, the payment of their debt in full
30 well understood has been this rule, that in
the failure OF mercantile houses the creditors
having similar experience in the past can des-
lgnate with almost unerTing certainty the
names Of those who will stand out for payment
in full. IL is a hardship upon most of the cred-
ltoTs. and the bankrupt law should correct this
grievance

The memorial presented in the Senate to-
day from Governor Shepherd invites careful
perussl. II presents plain and forcible state
ment of the facts connected with the war of
the factiOnists upon the District government
through its entire existence. This record is not
complimentary to the patriotism, the public
spirit or the law abiding spirit of the persons
implicated, but the facts setting forth the mis-
chievous obstructive course of these marplots
are conclusive and incontrovertible. They
commenced this unholy work before the Board
of Public Works had commenced the work
of regeneration, and have continued it at every
step, a. shown in the Governors memorial.
The mslcontents have been defeated on every
issue they have made; in their appeals TO the
people, the courts, and Congress. Investiga-
ton has shown in e cry instance that their
only purpose was that OF fac;iOus obstruction TO
the operations of the Board of Public Works
The Governor, therefore, very properly saws
that while always ready TO meet any reasonable
and proper investigation, he submits whether II
is fair 10 the people of the country, to the peo-
pie OF the District, ana to the District govern
ment TO enter upon new inquest without some
probable cause shown of the truth of the
charges made.
The statement appended to the memorial
shows That number of tae wealthiest of the
memoTialists, 30 far from presenting themselves
to Congress with clean hands, appear as wilful
VlolatoTs OF the law of Congress, by refusing to
pay the cost of the improvements upon their
property assessed under that law. 1t will be
seen that the amount OF taxes thus withheld by
the memOrialists for factious purposes, or for
purposes OF speculation, is very large, and that
had it been paid, as good lsw-abiding citizens
paid their taxes, it would have been of great
service to the community in various ways

The severe comments OF Mr.. Conkling in the
Senate to-day on the false and garbled state
ments telegraphed from this city by the friends
of the "Obstructicnists in this District in
reference to the refusal OF the Senate to print
the memorial of the sore heads, should set that
matter right at least. The Senator shows that the
memorial against the District government took
the usual course of such papers, iRstancing a
