Royce said the petition becomes q part of
the original suit under which the receiver
ship exists, and as 1t is controverted, the
same rules of procedure as under bill
will be enforced. Such he understood to
have been the uniform practice.
Judge Barrett went into an elaborate and
learned review of the question as to the adj
instability of affldavits in support of petit
lions.
A long discussion ensued among counsel
as to the method of proceeding hereafter,
in which the counsel who appeared on the
first day, j. w. Emery of Boston, who ap-
peared for the LIST and I'd mortgage bond
holders Mr.. Willard in behalf OF the Yer
mont and Canada, and Col. A. +. Walker,
in behalf of James s. Whitney, took part.
The court said the petitioners had the
right to file an answer. He said his previ-
GUS order for making answer was merely
permissive and not compulsory. In con-
clusion he asked counsel to agree among
themselves as to the time for filing answer,
taking testimony and having the hearing,
and granted them until 2 p. M, for the
purpose.
AFTERNOON.
The counsel, alter long deliberation,
finally agreed that the Rutland might have
6 days in which to amend their petition, if
they desire the Central 20 days after that
to answer 1t; the Rutland days to reply
and 25 days after that to take testimony !;
the Central 60 days after that to take its
testimony, and the Rutland 25 days in
which to take rebutting testimony-the
whole making 1879 days, or postponement
of the trial until the 9th of April.
In the matter of Gen. Whitneys petition,
an order of notice to be given defendants
within ten days was passed, with 30 days
after that to answer and 60 days after that
to complete the testimony.
Judge Thomas brought up the motion
for an order to compel the receivers to set
aside the fund accruing from the lower
roads TO abide the result of the suit, SO
that the Rutland could have some security.
After general discussion of this motion
Judge Barrett said the proceeding before
the court is on the petition only, and that
does not cover this question. There is
therefore nothing before the court. The
thing attempted should be by formal ap-
plication before the court, with due notice
to the other parties.
This ended the proceedings.

Under the Kansas constitution, as just
amended, there can be no regular session of
the legislature till 1877, and no revenue act
can be passed at special session.
Chief Justice Waite has declared-as ev-
cry sensible man supposed he would-that
under no circumstances would he allow his
name to be used in connection with the
presidency.
The Washington STIR thinks that Messrs.
Randall and Kerr have thus far nearly
equal strength for the speakership, the
former being a few votes ahead. If he
fails it is said he will throw his strength
for neither Kerr nor Cox, but for some
new man.
Somebody wrote to Gov. Hayes of Ohio
to ask him if he was a candidate for the
presidency, and this is what he got for a
reply;

of collection shows an increase for each of
the three last fiscal years. During the last
year, as compared with 1879, there was a
falling off of over $4,000, 900 of receipts
and an increase In the cost of collection Of
$4,000. Since the passage of the moiety
law the receipts from fines, forfeitures and
penalties have fallen off at least 33 per
cent, which adds so much to the cost of
collection, the deficiency from those
sources having to be made up by an appro-
priation, on the Both of June next, of at
least $750,00O. Secretary Bristow is forced
therefore, either to cut down the force or
to reduce salaries.

It is some consolation to know that
defeated; that the outburst at CLAW
Statue and the newspaper cards and
curbstone orations of the small bore
patriots did not change the opinion of a
single gentleman who voted on Friday
night to accept MI. Wheeler's project.
The measure has been filibustered
out of the ring, by disgusting the COM
mittee and deciding them to wash their
hands of the whole business, and in
that vicariOus manner it had practically
been killed; but the position of the
Conservative members who favored it
appears to remain unchanged and the
views of all who employed intelligence
instead of sentiment in judging it con-
time to approve the plan proposed.
Now that the adjustment has been
filibustered, however, it becomes neces-
sary to consider the situation. The
Wheeler proposition which elected such

The chances are that, without APPROX

that under the present arrangement we

Departure of the Congressional
Committee.
From the Picayune, Feb. 10th.

The entire Congressional Committee
left yesterday by the 8 o'clock train, via
Mobile, for Washington, Previous to
their leaving they were waited upon
by the committee appointed by the Con-
sentative caucus, who submitted to
them the plan of adjustment agreed
upon in secret session last night.
1t is said by the majority of the men,
bers themselves that this proposition
differs from the original in no very ma
terial respect, exceptin the ~phraseOlogy,
Mr.. Wheeler took the paper containing
the proposition with him to Washing
ton, and promised to telegraph his
opinion of it at an early day, The cues
ton is thus, we take it practically arrest

answer is returned by Mr.. Wheeler.

and came out to receive him.
In reply to O question concerning the
probabilityof the committees departure
this morning Mr.. Marshall said that it
had been decided upon positively by the
committee to leave upon the 5 o'clock
Mobile train.
In speaking of the proposed adjust
ment, Mr.. Marshall said that the people
here seemed to be so impracticable in
their ideas and the press so disunited
upon the questions at issue that he did
not see how it was possible foran adjust
ment to be arrived at which would be
satisfactory, and therefore the commit
tee had concluded it was of no use to
remain longer in New Orleans,

AN@s 'bhN4 "a
The Committee of Seventy ans the
only Ones among the anti-adjustment
party who give a tangible and transla-
table reason for their Opposition. Paeh-
ard, it is true, objected in general terms
that the plan would transfer the State
TO the Conservatives ; and West, Pinck-
back and Morey, who t~elegraphed their
dispproval Saturday afternoon, proba-
bly, acted on q similar belief. But the
rest of them, the corner politicians, the
Clay Statue Indignants, and so ON, have
neglected in their hurry to provide
themselves with anything more material
than a stock OF assorted metaphors. The
reason given by the Committee of
Seventy, however, may do for all-pep-
haps a large majority will be grateful to
the committee for donating it-they
want TO " nationalize the Louisiana
case.
Mr.. Mari informed the Conservative
caucnsyesterday that the Seventy had
beenforyears MISUNDERSTANDING
the affairs of the State, an that adjust
ment at this ~juacture would prevent the
consammation of tile process. Itappears
re are almost na~ti0nalized, and that, in
case the proposition of Mr.. Wheeler is
rejected, we may hope to be entirely GO
within d very brief space of time. Hav-
ing undertaken the job and prosecuted
it with vigOr and, thus far, success, the
COMMITTEES quite naturally object to it's
being arrested-and hence their protest
against the adjustment.
Perhaps MF. Msrr is right. We ought
to be na~ti0naIized. After getting along
80 we'll and reaching such al advanced
stage of naturalization, III does seem
wrong To stop. We won't be sure we I'M
