cisl and class Legislation. The bill was for
the benefit Of the stockholders OF RAILROAD,
and as william n. Vanderbilt owned a ma
jority Of the stock, the bill was really for the
relief OF VIM. II. Vanderbilt a very poor
but honest citizen Of New York Laughter. I
Mr.. Dunnell Mimi repealed the allu-
sion to Vanderbilt as unworthy Of the gen.
tleman from Illinois, and argued that a. a
matter OF law and fact these certificates were
not in any sense circulating notes, and were
therefore. not liable 10 taxation.
Mr.. Hammond CGa.l and MeLane Nd. ]
also spoke in opposition.
The discussion was further participated in
by Messrs. Mitchell and Randall and Fisher
[Pal.
Mr.. Kelley moved that the bill be laid
aside 10 be reported favorably.

laid aside to be reported unfavorably.
The latter motion was agreed to-yeas,

The committee then rose, and the bilf was
reported back unfavorably, and was laid on

HOUSE.

The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the private calendar. The first
bill was the one reported by Mr.. Kelley Pa. !
from the Committee of Ways and Means,
releasing the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company from the tax assessed on
wages certificates heretofore issued by the
company. The bill was advocated and de-
Tended by Messrs. Hewitt n. ", Dunnell
Mimi. ], and Kelley, Ward and Bayne Pa. ].
Mr.. Springer [Ill.l opposed the bill and
argued that it was vicious class legislation,
and that Congress should pass the bill which
was known as the Potter bill, for the creation
of tribunal to which ali claims against the
government should be referred. He COM
mended the action of New York, Pennsylva-
nia, Illinois and other States in prohibiting
by their amended constitutions all special
and private legislation, and showed how that
prohibition had reduced the bulk of the
volumes of the laws in those States. He
hoped that during the present session Con-
gress would put the seal of its condemnation
on the vicious and outrageous system Of spe-

BUSINESS FAILURES.
Weekly Report OF X. g. Dun q Co.'S
Mercantile Agency.

New YORK, February 3.-R. G. Dun &
Co., of the Mercantile Agency, report the
failures throughout the country for seven
days at 146, of which the Eastern States fur
nished "A, the Western 35, the Southern 40,
the Middle 80. the Pacific coast and Terrific
ries IL, and New York City Z. While the
failures are diminished in number, as COM
pared with previous weeks, there are several
for very large amounts in various parts of
the country. A number are deliberate at
tempts at fraud upon creditors, indicated by
preferences given to friends. The necessity
for a national bankrupt law was never better
shown than in several cases that have occur
red this week. One trader coolly prefers his
sister-in-law for $4,000, to satisfy his con-
science, leaving nothing whatever for his
other creditors, to whom he owes some $780,
900 or $40 600

A Fighting Forser.

DETROIT, February 3.-A young man
giving his name as 81. C. Closer attempted
to get check cashed at the American Ma
tional bank, which had been raised from SO
TO $500. The check was genuine, and was
originally given by a prominent business
house. The teller OF the bank discovered
the forgery, which was not very skillfully
done, and detained the young man while he
sent for policeman, who arrived in time to
overhaul Clesser, who had left the bank,
suspecting arrest. He resisted arrest strenu-
ously, but was overpowered. Letters were
found on his person from officers of the St.
Louis and Southeastern, Kansas City and
Northern, and Gilman, Clinton and South
eastern railroads, dated from 1874 to 1877,
recommending the bearer, who had worked
for them az yardmsster, freight conductor
and brakeman. Closer gives his age as
twenty-five, but is probably older.

fore Judge r. B. Barton. The State was

the progress of the trial Mr.. Crittenden said
that Hudson did right in trying to shoot
Geals. from the way he understood it," Col
onel Weatherford replied: 81 am aston

was the most remarkable of the winter, the
thermometer at one time registering n

snow in the Missouri valley this winter, and
but a few days of cold weather. 1t is the
mildest season ever known. Ice in the Mis-
souri, river is very weak, promising a break
in few days. The farmers are jubilant, and
some have already got some blowing done.
An immigration boom is expected this year.
