THE BANKRUPT BILL.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Senate Judi

logy of the bill to repeal the Bankrupt Law
Existing cases are saved by the bill, and
acts of wrong-doing in respect to pending

chiefly, the repeal will not take effect till
the lst of January next. This is not salts
factory to many Senators; but the Senate
will probably pass the bill in this shape on
Monday next. The action of the House on
this last amendment is uncertain, but it is
believed that there will be disagreement,

REFORM IN PoLlPICs.

The last election was remarkable for
he number OF scratched tickets voted
u all parts Of the Union. FROM Mas.
tAcndsetts To Texas, and from New
York city to the Sierra Nevada, voters
exhibited. Increased independence by
xastlng the trammels OF party and voting
~ they pleased. This the New York
Sun considers great reform In politics.
And Comments upon it as follows:
As things were formerly, corrupt and
sacomQelent men could work their wsy
sp Ia d political organization, and Gun
singly contrlve to get themselves nomi
NaIed to office. Tnen, IL men were DIS
satisfied and disgusted with. the ticker,
ihey We're tainted with treachery to the
equalization. Principles, too, Were
Readily abandoned by the. selfish. and
ambitious leaders, whenever there was
prospeci OF temporary popularity
tempting. them In that direction. This
condition OF things gave Us bad govern
We and bad government. Now We
witneas a great loosening In ths ties OF
party. Ii man does not think proper
~ vote tor the candidates OF the party
WITH which he has usually acted, ne
tseis himself entirely free TO vote for
another ticket. Thus voters own them
selves, and are no longer the property,
the slaves OF the party leaders. Inc
effect will be felt In ali parties, and It's
ssndsncy is toward general purlhcation
af the political atmosphere.

AN OPENING FOR SILVER DOL
LARS.

1t is estimated that there are now in
circulation about SOC, 0O0, 900 in one and
two dollar notes. About $40. 900, OO0
OF this amount are Government. and
the balance National Bank, notes. 1t
has been suggested that all notes of
these denominations be Withdrawn
from circulation as fast as they are re-
ceived by the Government, as the law
which requires that the amount of legal
tenders now in circulation shall not be
reduced, does not specify what the de-
nomination of the notes shall be. 1t liz
thought that this plan will get the new
silver dollars, millions of which are now
locked up In the vaults of the Treasury,
into circulation. Small notes or silver
for change, Is necessary in everyday
business TRANSACTIONS, and if the one
and TWO dollar notes are Withdrawn
there Will be an active demand for
standard dollars, at least $5O, 0OO 900
VI which wall be required to supply the
wants OF trade. 1t Is intimated that the
Secretary of the Treasury is in favor of
this plan. and, as in the absense of leg.
isiatlon on the subject he has full power
TO retire the small notes as fast as they
are paid In aud issue larger ones to
keep up the outstanding amount as re-
CURED by law, 1t lies exclusively with
Linn whether or not the millions of new
dollars coined In the last year and
stored In the Government vaults shall
remain there, or bs placed in circula-
uon as a substitute for the small notes.
The Secretary opposed the passage of
the silver bill. aud predicted that ii 1t
became law 1t would unsettle the IL
nanclal and commercial affairs of the
country. In tolls he mas been mistaken,
and possibly to make amends for his
error he may now open way to get the
aollar5 into circulation.
