HANGS FIRE.

The bill for the repe. at the bankrupt
law passed the Senate by an overwhelming
majority. Invent to the House, was amend
ed in certain unimportant particulars by
that body, and passed. 1t has now been in
the Senate for over two weeks, and It's
friends seem to be afraid 10 press it lest
they may not have votes enough to carry
it, notwithstanding its great majority in the
first place. Among the reasons why the
bill should pass, the Chicago Tribune enum-
crates the following:
In Eng, and bankruptcy is n judicial inqui-
ny; in this country it is a question oil lees.
In England the courts business is 10 enforce
Justice and honesty between parties; in this
country IL is the practice OF the officers and
LAWYERS 10 absolb the estate. The cost OF the
proceeding IS outrageous. Each case OF bank
ruptcy has to pay toll 10 a clerk, marshal, reg
lister, and assignee, besides, generally, two
fatly-feed attorneys. The estate pays all the
expenses, except the applicant has 10 pay IN
advance n certain sum for ices, 40 inat'er

cent case in this city, the only assets The

ture TO get the money TO pay his Initiation

repeal of the law, in the belief that II VIII not
be effectually amended, is strongly urged by
every honest and solvent merchant, ana
trader. and banker in the country.

RUsSO-FENuAN ALLIANCE.

The New York HeTCld Of the 9TH has an
article in which the opinion is expressed
that the mission Of the mysterious Russian
ship Cimbria, with her load OF men and
munitions, is to form an alliance between
the Russian authorities ard the Fenians, to
invade Canada in case OF war between Eng
land and Russia. This view of the csse is
decidedly visionary, though there possibly
may be something in it. After reviewing
the matter at considerable length, the Her
aid says:
ON the part of all worthy Irishmen in the
United States The view is taken that il they
are citizens they cannot violate our laws
out of consideration of service to any
foreign country; and if they are not citizens
the obligation to the national hospitalitality
is a motive equally cogent. II these are moi
sufficient TO prevent attempts to violate the
neutrality the government of the United
States may he depended upon TO compel OBJ
servance of the laws. But these reports Of
Russo-Fenian descents on Canada point the
possibility that we may have war at ouI
doors, in which case it will assume far
liyelier interest for us than when the chron-
icle has only to deal with far away events in
the Sea OF Marmora, the Dardanells and Rou'

CHEEKING PROSPECTS.

The New York Times of last Friday
morning, had over twelve columns OF crop
news, representing twenty-nine States and one
Territory. From every quarter comes the
same report-a promise OF the most bounti,
fuI harvest ever gathered. Unless some
great disaster, which it is not possible now
10 foresee, should overtake the country,
this years harvest Will be the grandest the
country ever had. In referring to its re-
ports the Times says:

NEUTRALITY.

Under the neutrality laws our Govern
ment could not, in time of war, permit It's
citizens to give laid and comfort" TO any
belligerent by furnishing such power with
arms, munitions, or men. But SO long as a
state of actual war does not exist, our deal
ers in guns and powder are at liberty to
make the best bargains they can. We
are not required to know that England and
r., ssia intend to fight, and until war has
been declared, if either party wants to buy
our war materials, We have the right to sell
them TO her. We have no right - permit
privateers TO be fitted out in our waters, at
any time, and, in peace or war, are required
to detain any vessel which there is good
reason to suppose, is going ont for the pur-
pose OF presing upon the commerce OF IA
ton with which We are at peace. Upon
this subject, the New York Times OF the 9TH
remarks:
Even in time Of peace, every armed vessel
sailing from this country, and armed wholly
or in part by its citizens, is compelled under
the neutrality lawsto give bonds, on clear
ance in double the value OF the vessel and
cargo, not to cruise or commit hosiilities
against any people or power at peace with us,
and Collectors of Customs are also Obliged to
detain .'any vessel manifestly built for war;
like purposes, Is and ''the cargo OF which prin-
cipaIiy consists of arms and munitions OF
war; when the number of men or other cir
cumstances may render probable a hostile
intent, until the President decides TO let her
CO. or until the owner gives the bond and
security required of armed vessels. 1t is
quite evident that even in these cases the
bond might be given and forfeited.
While the prohibition of privateering is
clear, the sale of American ships, or Of arma.
ments for Russian ships, is hardly TO be pro-
hibited now on the ground that a diplomatic
controversy exists, on account of which Rus
STA and England may some day go TO war.
Though both countries have been preparing
for this possibility by buying guns, ships and
cavalry horses, our government cannot con.
cIude that they are going TO war, and regu-
late on that presumption its dealings with

NEW CTsTERNs NEEnED.

Fire Marshal Chaplin has for some time
advocated the construction Of two new fire
cis.erns in the vestert part Of the city, and
the result Of Sunday mornings fire proves
conclusiyely the wisdom OF his suggestion.
The property destroyed at the time referred
to-and which might have been saved if
there had been any provision Tor water in
that portion Of the city-would have paid
for the needed cisterns more than twice
over. The people in that part Of town, pay
just the same as those in other portions, and
are entitled to the same protection, as far
as it is in the power OF the corporation
10 extend it TO them. There are at pre-
sent no cisterns west OF Broadway, and a
line OF hose over twenty-four hundred feet
long was necessary 10 reach from the near
est water TO the scene Of the fire Sunday
morning. So great was the pressure neces-
sary TO force the water this distance, that
the hose, although new and strong, was un-
able to withstand the great strain upon III
and burst as fast rs the fremen could put
il on. The additional cisterns aierred 10
ara needed, and should be built without de-
lay. A neglect to provide adequate means
for extinguishing fire, is not economy, by

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The President
pro- item. laid before the Senate the House
bill to forbid the further retirement Of
United States legal-tender notes, which was
read first time by its title, that it migat
be referred to the Committee on Finance,
in accordance with custom.
Mr. COCKRELL objected to its refer
snce and moved that the bill be read a sec

passed without reference, but Mr. Morrill,
objected 70 q second reading of the bill To-
day and it was laid over.
Mr.. SARGENT, from the Committee on
Appropriations, reported the pension ap-
preparation bill with amendments AMI q

reported the Indian appropriation bill

On motion Of Mr.. THURMAN, the Sem
ate took up the bill to repeal the bankrupt

Mr.. BECK submitted an amendment TO
strike out the 6rt Of January, 1879, as the
time when the repeal Of the Law takes ef-
feet, and insert in lieu an amendment to
rspal the Law from the passage of the act
The discussion Of the bill lasted until the
expiration of the morning hour, when the
bill TO repeal the specie resumption act
came up ~ un6nishnd business, and
upon which Mr. Gordon was entitled to the
floor, but on motion of Mr.. Thurman the
bill was laid aside that the Senate might
consider the repeal of the bankrupt Law.
Mr., THURA AN then consented that
this bill be laid aside. informally, that Mr..
Gordon might address the Senate in favor
Of the repeal of the specie resumption act,
with the understanding that confederation
of the bankrupt bill should be resumed as
soon a. he concludes his remarks
Mr.. GORDON spoke at length in favor
of repeating the specie resumption act.
Mr. SARGENT, from the Committee on
Appropriations, called up the House
bill making appropriations for the judgment
Of invalid and other pensions Of the
