Mr.. wILIIs's REPEAL BILL PASSED DY THE HOUSE,
ITS PROvIsIOSs-THR REPEAL ASKED FOR BY
CREDITORS.
lBY TELEGRAPH no THE TRIBUHLl
WASHINGTON, Feb. S-The most important bust
ness transacted by the House to-day was the pas
sage of the bill introduced by Mr.. Willis of New
the Bankruptcy act. Numerous petitions from all
parts Of the country have been received by Congress
this session asking for this legislation, and the Com
mittee on the judiciary, to whom the bill was re-
ferred, agreed at its meeting this morning to report
It, When the Committee was called in the House 1t
was reported and passed with very little debate on
the merits of the bill.
The act simply provides for the immediate repeal
Of the Bankruptcy law Of 1857 and all amendatOry
OF supplementary acts and directs that all suits and
proceedings pending in the courts Of the
United States. where adjudication in bankruptcy
has been made, shall be proceeded with and gov
erned by the provisions Of existing laws, which are
continued in force only for tho purpose of closing
up the suits and proceedings now pending. In all
other cases. it is proposed that the act shall 90 into
effect Oh the LIST of January, 1877.
The petitions for the repeal of this act referred to
come principally from creditors, and the effect Of
the law of 1867 seems to be different from that of
1871, which two years later was repealed. This
than for creditors. Forty years ago the man who
avaied himself of the privileges of the Bankruptcy
act unable to obtain further credit, and tina had
such a depressing effect upon business a. to call
forth general demand for its repeal.
