BANKRUPT LAW REPEAL.
TREMENDOUS VOTE IN THE HOUSE on THE SUBJECT
IEIEGRLPH

A TREMENDOUS VOTE IN THE HOUSE on THE SUBJECT
10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE
WASHINGTON. April 25-The House passed the
Senate bill repeating the Bankrupt Act, to-day,
with an important amendment, offered by Mr.. Knott
chairman of the judiciary Committee. This amend
ment does not change the character of the bill
in any respect, but simply enumerates some of
the amendatory acts of the original law not named
in the Senate bill. The Senate will undoubtedly
adopt this amendment without hesitation, and the
Bankrupt Law will, in few days, be matter of
the past
There was some opposition to the repeal BILL Mr..
Frye, of Maine defended the Bankrupt Act as con-
stitutional and right aud declared that If the law
was to be repealed it was simply on account of the
ayarice of the officials entrusted with its enforce
ment.
General Ewing On the other hand. opposed the re-
peal of the bill on the ground that the Bankrupt
Law prevented creditors from squeezing the last
dollar out of their Debtors and holding mortgage
ON their energies during the remainder Of their fife
time. Mr.. Ewing. in his speech, touched on the
euItency question in his customary strain, de-
