WASHINGTON, March 9.-The
bankruptcy bill reported in the
Senate provides that whoever,
without fraud, shall become in
volved in debts beyond $500 which
he cannot pay, may apply by u
petition in equity to the United
States District Court, setting forth
the cause of his insolvency and
scheduling his liabilities and as
sets, and he may surrender his es.
tate for the benefit Of his creditors,
except such as may be exempt from

adjudge him bankrupt, if good
cause appear, and appoint receiv-
er, and serve notice 10 all interest,"

emptor or settler whenever any
railroad or other corporation

land grant Of the United States to

tie the title in the settler
without regard to the value
OF the property or residence
of the parties in interest, and also
that all proceedings and executions
shall be stayed except in test suits
The bill has grown out of iDvesti-
cations into the proceedings of the
assigns OF the Denver and st. 10.

Nebraska who are included in the
action; but its provisions are broad
enough to protect any class of per.
sons In Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota,

Members of the Committee on

favorable to the provisions of this
bill and 1t will undoubtedly be
favorably reported and urged for
passage by Senator Van Wyck.

More Outrages ON Jews.
Hebrew Leader.

The cable dispatches from Europe during
the past week have continued 10 give ac-
counts OF outrages upon the Jewish residents
OF Russia, after much the same fashion as be-
fore. Attempts have been made in one or two
instances 10 lay the blame upon the Jews
themselves, alleging that they had begun the
wolf and the lamb-the Jewish lamb In this
case is not very likely 10 do anything TO rouse
the ferocity Of the Russian wolf II is just as
II has been from the beginning-it has been
bitter, unJustiiiable persecution, marked by
peculiar atrocity, and kept up In spite OF pro-
world.
In a temperately- toned letter In the New
YORK World, Mr.. j. J.. Jennings says that II is
remarkable fact that the war OF eXtermina-
tion which has been declared against the Jews
has received no disbursement whatever
from the official class In any part of Russia.
The civic authorities las at Odessa) have re-
peatedly been warned days beforehand that a
massacre was being planned, but they have
never taken any steps TO prevent II, and when
the outbreak has actually occurred the
military have looked ON unconcernedly
or only interfered when the Jews were stronger
than their assailants and seemed likely to
gain the day. This has been the general
course OF events wherever the persecution
has spread According 10 the best authenti-
Gated narratives the massacres have tegun In
town or village by the announcement
mot always 10 be traced 10 definite
source) that the Car had Issued a
ukase for the destruction or expulsion
Of all members OF the Hebrew race.
The pea SAINTS In some cases were reluctant u
attack the Jews who had done them no harm,
but they were afraid 10 dis0bey the supposed
orders OF the Gar. This indicates quite I'm.
pressiyely the falsehood OF the claim that the
Russian Government has discouraged and en-
deavOred 10 repress tho popular outbreak
against tho Jews. Mr. Jennings declares that
the details OF the massacres and outrages
perpetrated In Odessa and other Russian
towns are SO unspeakably horrible that II
might be hoped their description was exag
gerated, but that verified facts show that the
half Of these abOminable atrocities has not
yet been told,

In ANOTHER column we publish al in
teresting interview on the subject of the
eight hour law and the failure of the Gov
ernment to enforce it. 1t is singular fact
that the Executive branch of the Govern
ment should be so persistent in disregard
ing a statute that Congress should have to
be asked TO pass a joint resolution in the
nature of mandamus to compel its observ-
ance. 1t appears that the Navy-yard has
been the scene of the most fagrant disre-
gard Of the eight-hour law, and it is upon
those in charge Of the workingmen there
that the proposed pressure is to be brought
to bear. We understand, however, that
the complaint is universal. One thing is
certain. If the eight-hour law ought not
to be obeyed it ought to be repealed and il
it ought not to be repealed it ought to be
obeyed. Perhaps it would be we'll for Con
gress to inquire why or by what authority
it has been disregarded.
The Evening critic., 1882-03-06

CONGRESS HAS sole charge Of this Dis
trict The people are governed directly by
it. This being the case, Congress ought to
devote little of its time TO the task it has
taken upon itself, and the able statesmen
who compose that body ought to unbend
from the consideration of the weighty affairs
Of the Nation, such as securing post office
building at Podunk, making Scatterville a
port of entry and improving the naviga-
tion Of Catfish Creek to consider the needs
of the Capital and its people. The post
master at Podunk might be allowed for
year or two longer to carry the post-oflice
in his hat as heretofore, the saloon keeper
and shoemaker of Scatteryille could, for a
time longer, purchase their supplies in
New York or some other village, instead
of by direct importations, while the captain
of the magnificent pirogue which annually
at high water ascends Catfish Creek should
not be disturbed for another season by men
digging channel, and little time be
given to the most pressing needs of the
District and its people. Two Of these are
the regulation Of the gas and water sup
plies. Can our able statesmen unbend long
enough to consider them9
The Evening critic., 1882-03-06
A Nccich Amendment.


Among the amendments to the Rules OF
the Heuse which are understood to be pro-
posed by the majority of the Committee on
Rules, there is one which ought to be
adopted without dissent. That is tie one
which, for want of single term, we will
describe as an amendment to put the
House of Representatives at least on
an equal footing with Bill Holman
in the matter of controlling legisla.
tion. The existing rules were framed
by Samuel ]. Randall, and were designed
by him to absorb all the powers of the
House in the person of the Speaker. Among
the powers taken away from the House was
that of roceeding with the business of the
calendar in the order of its public import
ance. The new rules provide that unanimous
consent shall be required to enable the
House to take up and consider any bill on
the public calendar out of its regular order.
OF course with two or three chronic object
ors on the floor unan imous consent is i'm
possible, and the House ceases to control its
order Of business, because the Speaker or
the leader of the opposition, as the case
may be, can always continue to have an
objection ready whenever unanimous con-
sent is asked, and the inhexible calendar
can be made the grave ofany bill marked by
either for destruction.
In public calendar of thirty or forty
bills there will always be two or three of
prime importance, which by reason of the
length Of time consumed in their consider
alton by committees must find place near
the end; and, under the existing rules,
be blockaded by the mass Of rubbish which
precedes them. In order to get at these
measures it is necessary either to obtain
unanimous consent-which is always inn
possible-or to begin at the top of the cal
endar and vote to lay aside or pass bill after
bill until the desired measure is reached in
its order. This latter device is as imprac
ticable as the other, because it affords illim-
liable opportunity for flibustering, and in
the end it is invariably discovered that tn,
blockade of the calendar is effective.
The result of this rule, therefore, is {,
| place the House wholly at the mercy o
any factious or corrupt minority who
| whether for partisan objects or for pur
poses of blackmail, can balk the wishes o
| the majority, no matter how wise or hov
benefcent may be the measure that tn
majority desires to reach. We understand
that it is the desire of the majority of tn
Committee on Rules to so modify this iron
clad rule as to enable the House to contro
its own order of business, and under Ger
tain restrictions designed to give the mi
nority a fair hearing, compel a defnit
limit to the power of objectors and filibu:
tiers. 1t ought to be adopted.

The New YORK Smi of yesterday devotes
three columns of its valuable space to a
Washington letter (so-called) circum-
stantially relating "How Uriah H.
Painter elected the Speaker and organ
ized the House of Representatives" The
general opinion among newspaper men is
that if Painter did not write the letter
himself, he hired some other fellow to do
it. Just why Painter should desire the
publication Of such a manifesto at such a
time does not appear upon the face of the
letter; but among the surmises is one to
the effect that perhaps he has recently
asked for something that he didn't get. 1t
is not SO very long since we heard that
Uriah Fl. Painter, assisted by Roscoe Conk-
ling, had succeeded in carrying the State
Of Ohio for Garfield.
