DISCUSSION on THE VOTE OF CREDIT.
LONDON, February An the House OF
Commons to-day Mr.. Gladstone said the
armistice removed all apprehension OF Tur-
KEYS being encouraged by the hope OF
English aid. It also removed the reason
for perseyering in the vote, now that there
was no apprehension OF Russian occupancy
OF ConstantiIople. The Government, by
the menacing attitude they proposed to as
sumo, were taking step in the direction
OF barbarsm and violence. Perseverance
with the vote could only demonstrate that
the nation was divided. While urging that
the vote OF credit be withdrawn in favor OF
an address to the Crown, which he had
proposed, he said he conceded the ne
cesssity of supporting the Govern
ment by some declaration before it
entered the conference. He would sup
port the Government in using this influ-
ence to. induce Russia to relinquish her
claims Tor the retrocession OF Bessaraba;
also in everything relating to the free navi-
cation OF the Danube, and in getting liberal
terms for Turkey rs far as consistent with
the interests of Turkeys subjects. Mr..
Gatharne Hardy, Secretary OF War, pointed
out that the Government were ignorant
of the conditions of the armistlce, and Rus
sian armies had reached point which, II
negotiations failed, might be dangerous for
Europe. 1t was important to be prepared,
because wars OF late were sudden and ur-
foreseen. The Russian basis OF peace was
exceedingly vague, and although the Coy
eminent had been told the condition relative
TO the straits was withdrawn it still remained.
The Governments object was to have per-
manent and solid peace. GrudginS G6, O00,-
600 now might involve future expenditure
OF. e600, 100000. The Government had been
misrepresented throughout the country, ana
was not now going to accept an empty vote
OF confidence. II the vote OF credit should
be denied, it was time for them to resign.
They did not desire to lead crippled exist
ence. The Powers were armed to the teeth.
and a single spark might light fire threat
ening the best interests OF the country.

also two OF his fingers. His face. neck, and
arms were also badly burned, but DR.. Maui
pin, who dressed the wounds, does not
think there is any internal injury to fear,
and that lie will more than probably re-
cover.

mated.

is u welEknown and highly-esteemed riti-

VIRGINIA CASE DECIDED IN THE SUPREME
COURT.
The Supreme Court to-day decided the
case OF Neal Us. Scruggs, &c., error to
the Supreme Court Of Appeals of Virginia.
In this case it is said that in the section Of
the law OF 1867, which sets forth the classes
of debts which are exempted from the ope-
ration OF discharge in bankruptcy, debts
created by fraud are associated directly with
debts created by embezzlement, and that
such association iustifes, il it does not
absolutely require, the conclusion that
the fraud referred TO in that Sec
ton means positive fraud, or fraud in
fact, involving as it does embezzlement,
moral turpituGe, or evil design, and not
implied fraud or fraud in law, which may
exist without the imputation of bad faith
or immortality. Such construction OF the
statute is most consonant to equity and is
consistent with what is supposed to have
been the object and intention OF Congress
in cnacting u law by which the honest
citizen may be relieved from the burden Of
hopeless insolvency. In this view of the
case Neal's discharge in bankruptcy bsed
the decision against him in the case. The
decision is reversed. Mr.. Justice Harland
delivered the opinion.

IT has often occurred to us that
the people Of Los Angeles exhibit
q curious indifference to what will
probably be, in the future, the
source of their greatest prosperity.
Our petroleum interests have
grown up amidst the almost utter
unconcern of our own people, il
Col. r. 8. Baker, aud II few others,
are excepted. We learn that the
Star Oil Company, the other day,
offered this gentleman 5000 for
the two acres in the Pico caflon on
which the wells of the company
are located. The signs are all pro-
pitious for lively and immediate
development OF our oil interests on
an extended scale. 1t is quite
possible that even our orange, wine
and lrandy interests may be
dwarfed, in the next five years, by
our petroleum yield. The assump.
tion is pot wild that the day may
come, and shortly, when the oil
yield of Los Angeles county will
amount yearly, in minted dollars
to as much as the outcome of al
our mines.

Beaudry in reference to the Orange

Mayors course at the Magistrates'

NEXT month we shall have the
second gun from the Congressional
elections-Oregon having furnished
the first thunders. The Congress
sional elections this year are i'm
portant because the Republican
party has set the precedent that II
is not so material who is elected
President as who is declared to be
President. From and after the 4th
Of March, 1879, the United States
Senate will be overwhelmingly
Democratic. If we can secure the
House of Representatives we have
all the machinery for taking hold
Of the government We have the
dictum of Abraham Lincoln, sup.
ported by all the authorities col.
lated by Senator Conkling in his
magnificent speech preceding the
Electoral bill, in support of the
doctrine that the two Houses oI
Congress are the absolute judges as
to who is elected President. The
first tidipgs Of the Congressional
| elections will therefore be looked
for with great interest. The Re
publicans, in any event, can only
get possession OF one house, thus
finding themselves whers the Dem
ocracy were in 1876, while all the
probabilities point to the Democ'
racy's having both houses by over.
