FORTY.FOURTH CONGRESS-.
THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8-The Finance Com
.mittee gave a long consideration to the re-
sumption bill of Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont.
No action.
The Centennial comes up tomorrow as un-
finished business.
The Senate Finance Com mittee reported
adversely the bill to secure depositors Of The
Freedman's bank.
The bill for the benefit of the Louisville
Baptist Orphans Home passed.
The committee has been instructed to con-
slider bill, whereby the people, through tho
elective franchise may regulate and control
their domestic affairs.
A struggle for precedence and motion for
an executive session failed. Finally the Gem
tenuial bill was taken up
Mr.. Morton said as soon as the Centennial
bill was concluded he would call up Pinch
back case and ask the Senate to remain in
session until vote was reached.
The proceedings were interrupted by the
announcement OF the death of Senator Ferry.
of Connecticut, and the eulogies. Senate ad-
journed.
WASHINGTON Feb. 8.-The bill amending
section $50 Revised Statutes by adding the
following words :" In the adjustms nt of the
accounts of said officers an appeal shall lie
from the decision of the accounting officers
of the treasury to the Attorney General.
whose determination shall be final" Passed.
The Judiciary Committee reported bill
repeating the bankrupt act. The first section
repeats the bankrupt act Of 2lst March, 1867,
and all laws and parts of laws amendatory
thereof and supplemental thereto.
The second section provides that all suits
and proceedings now pending in the United
States courts wherein an adjudication in
bankruptcy has been made, shall be proceeded
with and be governed by the provisions of ex-
listing laws, which are fcontinued in force only
for the purpose of closing up suits and pro-
ceedings now pending. The act is to take
effect from and after January l, 1877 After
some discussion of technical points, the bill
was passed by vote Of 178 yeas, SO nays.
After the passage of the bill an error was dis
covered, the date of the original law being
given as the second instead Of twenty first Of
March.
This mistake Mr. Lynde asked unanimous
consent to have corrected, but Mr.. Kasson,
Of Iowa, objected, remarklng that the bill
placed the whole creditor class of the country
IN the power of the debtor class. The bill,
therefore, goes to the Senate with that imper-
fiction in it.
The diplomatic appropriation question was
resumed, but no action was taken.
After eulogiss on the late Mr.. Ferry, the
House adjourned.

SHOOTING ARRAY AT THE
OPERA HOUSE.
Two Well Known Citizens Elk.
change Shots.
Mr.. Francois Rance Wounded in
the Abdomen.

About 9 o'clock Tuesday evening an alterca-
ton took place on the stairs OF the Opera
House between two we'll known citizens,
named Edgard Bouligny and Francois Rance,
in which the latter was shot in the abdomen
and seriously wounded.
1t appears that Mr.. Rance, who had been
on bad terms for some time past with Mr..
Bouligny, met that gentleman coming out CT
the Opera, at the head of the stairs, during an
intermis-ion, and, without any words, walked
up to him and struck him twice in the face,
whereupon Mr.. Bouligny, who was then in
company with some of his friends, stepped to
one side and drew his revolver. He then
fred three shots in rapid succession at his
antagonist. who was on his way down stairs,
one Of the balls taking effect IN the left side
of the abdomen, iDfiiciing, it is thought, a
dangerous wound.
MIR. Rance, after being shot, pulled his re-
volver and fred several shots at Mr.. Bouligny,
who retreated into the Opera House, none Of
the shots taking effect. The police arrived on
the spot at this time and arrested Mr.. Rance,
and brought him to the Third Precinct Sta
ton, where his wound was examined. He
was then conveyed to his residence, corner
of IRENE and Barracks streets.
Mr.. Boulgny, on learning that Rance was
wounded, surrendered himself to the officers
in charge OF the Third Precinct Station, and
WAS locked up.

Gen. Brady, in the course of his remarks,

rubber process, by which distillers entered
upon their books a much less quantity than
the barrels contained, but placed upon the
stamps on the heads Of the packages the cor
rect number of gallons Those in the con-
spiracy, when they purchased such crooked,
would take their cue from the distillers and
enter on their liquor books the smaller
amount given by the manufacturer. At last,
however, the barrel would fall into the hands
of some honest dealer, who, not knowing of
the gauger's false certificate would place
upon his books the amount of gallons found
on the stamp.
Tracing from him back, the Government
detectives easily learned exactly who was in
the ring and who knew of the original falsif-
cation.
FROM OTHER POINTS,
as yet, little has come in showing the trans
actions in the crooked there.
Galveston and Mobile are in daily inter
course with this city, and it is not improbable
that they will be the next attacked. The
Government officers allege this to have been

efforts are directed towards chasing the SER

They assert that the whisky shipped here
