SECUNDEDlEIUN,
Congress Yesterday.

In the U. S. Senate yesterday, Mr.,
Sherman from the Finance Committee,
reported a substitute for Mr.. Davis
resolution for Treasuryinvestigation,
submitted early in the session. The
substitute, which directs the Secretary
OF the Treasury to furnish the infor-
nation, was adopted. Mr.. Boutwell,,
of Mass, introduced bill repeating
the pre-emption laws, and providing
for the sale of timber on the public
lands, and gave notice that he would
offer 1t as substitute fer the bill to
repeal restrictions on the disposal of
public lands in Alabama and the
Southern States. The bill extending
the time for completion of the North
ern Pacific Railroad was considered.
The Centennial Appropriation bill
came up as unfinished business, and
was favored by Messrs, Morrill, of Me-, d,
Edmunds of Vt, Morrill, of VT, Fre-
linghuysen of N. j.. Wallace and
Cameron of Penna. Sherman of Ohio,
and Maxey Of Texas. and opposed by
Messrs. McCIscry of KY, Eation Of
Conn.,, and Withers 0of Ga. Several
amendments to the bill and a substitute
offered by Mr.. McCreery, recommend
ing local celebrations on the Fuorth,
were rejected. The vote on the Nc,
Creery substitute was-yeas 10, nays
40. AS Mr.. Norwood. of Georgia,
desired to speak on the measure, but
was too unwell to go on at once, the
bill was laid ever until to-day. After
an Executive Session the Senate ad-
journed.
In the House, nearly the whole sess-
ion was devoted to debate one the Con.
sular and Diplomatic Appropriation
bill. in Committee of the Whole. After
the committee rose the House adjonIn.
ed, with the understanding that Mr..
Blaine would make financial speech
to-day, and that general debate on the
bill would then be closed.

The Bankruptcy Act,

The bill Of MI. Willis, passed by the
House at Washington, provides for the
immediate repeal of the Bankruptcy
law of 1867 and all amendatory or sup.
Elementary acts, and directs that all
suits and proceedings now pending in
the court of the United States, where
an adjudication in bankruptcy has
been made, shall be proceeded with
and governed by the provisions of
existing laws, which are continued in
force only for the purpose of closing
up the suits and proceeding now pend
ing. In all other cases, it is proposed
that the act shall 60 into effect on the
1st of January 1877.
The petitions for the repeal of this
act referred to come principally from
creditors and the effect of the law of
1857 seems to be different from that
OF lo4l which two years later was re-
pealed. This was found in its opera
tion to be worse for debtors than for
creditors. Forty years ago the man
who availed himself of the privileges
OF the Bankruptcy act was unable to
obtain further credit, and this had
such depressing effect uuon business
as to call forth a general demand for
its repeal.

The BANKRUPT LAW TO BE REPEAL
ED,-In the House of Representative
yesterday. bill was adopted by vote
of It's yeas TO 59 nays, repeating the
bankrupt act of 1867, and the subse-
quent amendments thereto, with the
proviso, however, that cases and pro-
ceedings now pending shall not be af-
fected by the repeal of the law, the
provisions of which are continued for
the winding up the cases still undecid
ed. The bill was sent the Senate, and
the large vote by which it was passed
in the lower house may doubtless be
regarded as foreshadowing its passage
by that body. The vote by which the
bill passed the House had no party as
pect, and the representatives from all
sections assisted in swelling the large
majority in favor of the repeal.

How Christian Phtlanthropists Plum

How Christian Phtlanthr0 pists Plun-
derdd the Poor Negroes.
The committee on the Freedman's
Bank examined J. W. Afford, who
was president of that concern during
the last three years of its existence
Alvord, like all the other witnesses
thus far examined, sought to evade
the responsibility for the innumerable
wrongs inflicted on the unfortunate
negroes. The president, he said, was
a mere figurehead, who opened the
vaults for the finance committee. It
was true that he was 90 0fieso a mem
Der of this committee. but he had nei-
ther voice nor vote in its delibera-
tions. To sustain this statement he
produced resolution passed by the
finance committee, which made him q
mere cypher in that body. He had the
right to be present at the meetings of
the committee, and to call meetings,
but he said he rarely got it together.
The meetings were practically held on
the street.
One significant fact has already
been brought to light. Among
tee loans reported by the Commission
ers to Congress is one of $33, 900 to the
Young Mems Christian Association of
Washington, for which its worthless
bond was hypothccated. This loan
was, as the loan book of the bank
shows, originally made to Henry ID.
Cooke and o. o. Howard; but how it
was transferred has not yet been trac-
ed.
A poor negro who deposited $2, 400,
the earnings of life time, appeared
before the committee and told the
story of his wrong. He thought the
institution was a safe one. 1t was Or
gauized under charter procured from
Congress by philanthropists like Gen.
Howard and other vaunting friends of
the colored race, and he never dream
cd of entertaining doubt about its
solvency. He had drawn out about
$500 of his money and invested else
where, and a short time before the
bank was closed he called to check out
the balance. To his astonishment he
was told that he had a credit of forty
cents only. He showed his bank book
which called for $1700. He could get
no satisfaction from the officers of the
bank, and so he employed lawyer
He has since ascertained that a clerk
named Boston, employed in the bank,
had drawn out the money on forged
checks.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The friends of
Babcock here are very much demoralized
by the news from st. Louis. The open
ing speech of District Attorney Dyer
discloses much stronger case against
him than they ever dreamed of, and they
have been horror stricken thereby. It
was not known that the prosecution had
been able to trace money from the ring
to Babcock, but it is now known that
$4,000 was paid to him by the ring at
one time through Major Grimes, a quar-
termaster in the army. The kilograms
which the Western Union Telegraph
Company sought to suppress prove much
more damaging than was at first suspec-
ted. 1t will be shown beyond question
that Babcock instead of wanting to ap-
pear and testify in the Avery case, was
really strlven to keep away from st.
Louis.

A CoLoRED MAN DROWNED. - Wm.
Duckery, a colored man, who resided
near Embreeville, on the vii. & Reading
Railroad was drowned in the Brandy
wine, at Stewards mill dam, ON Monday.
He was on his way home and attempted
to cross the ice ON the mill-dam, but in
doing 80 its frailty proved fatal trap
and he met his death in about seven feet
of water. Owing to his not reaching
home, suspicious were at once Indulged
in that he had been drowned, and on
Tuesday morning several men set out to
drag the dam. Their labors were soon
rewarded by bringing the body to the

Successful Uso Of Coal Dust.
THE DUST OF COAL FOUND TO ANSWER

THE DUST OF COAL FOUND TO ANSWER
BETTER THAN THE BEST ANTHRACITE
COAL.
Three or four months ago the expert
ment was first tried of using coal dirt,
in place Of coal, in raising steam for the
purpose OF pumping water into the reser-
voir Of the Phila. & Reading Railroad
Company, North Sixth street. 1t proved
complete success. From to tons of
coal had been used each "a hours, and
with the same quantity Of coal dirt even
more steam was raised than before.
Coal dirt was next used under the two
cylinder boilers in the iron car shop of
the Railroad company, south Of Chestnut
street. and it did admirably. BY using a
quantity of dirt equal to the amount of
coal formerly consumed, more steam we 9
raised than before.
The large tubular boilers in the ma
chine shop, between Ches vnut and Frank
lin are now also supplied with coal dirt,
and it answers the purpose, though
owing to the tubes, the draft is not as
strong as that in the cylinder boilers,
where sach powerful draft can be OBJ
tanned that the flame will strike out of
the top Of the srAoke-stack Under all
these boilers the worry best of anthracite
coal was formerly used Reading Eagle.

Dispute between the Queen Annos .
Kent County Railroads.

Dispute between the Queen Annos 4
Kent County Railroads.
The Smyrna Times gives the follow
ing account Of squabble between
these two Railroad Companies, since
the latter has been running its trains
to Clayton:
The Queen Annes Company would
like the Kent County to run over its
branch to Townsend, from Massevs
but the X. q. won't do it. So to have
some grist to its mill from the K. c.,
the Queen Annes s. Kent Company
last year tried to make the X. @. pay
it $4OO for using about 400 feet of its
track, which 1t has to do at Massey's
in crossing over to the Bombay Hook
branch. But it seems that there is
law in Maryland regulating such
charges upon railroads in that State
on the pro rata plan. According to
this pro ratal law the Queen Annes
Company was entitled to only $40 in
stead of $400. Accordingly, $40 was
the sum paid. Now, to make matters
hot for the X. O., Hon. 3. Il. Biggs,
President of the Queen Annes g. Kent
road, is lobbying the Maryland Legis-
iature to have this pro rata law repeal
ed, IN which event he proposes to sue
out an injunction to prevent the Kent
county trains from running over this
forty feet of its track. But 1t is stated
that he has the Baltimore & Ohio Co,
against him, as the law was passed for
that company's benefit a number o.
years ago. He stands no show. So
we are told by parties to the transsc-
ton.

storm which swept over the country last
Wednesday did considerable damage in
Somerset county. 1t demolished in
Vulnerable fences, twisted off trees, &C.,
but the greatest damage was done at
Deals Island to the long bridge and the
shipping in the harbors. Some thirty
feet of the bridge was torn away by the
violence of the wind and the dragging
and driving Of the boats through it.
Every canoe, sloop or pungy but one
was either driven on shore or against
and through the bridge or was sunk. The
schooner Polar lStar, loaded with wood
was sunk on Haines' Point. The damage
and loss is estimated from $4,000 to
$4,000. All travel back and forth from
the island has to be done in boats and
