The Mitchell murder.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 5.-The in.
quest over the body Of Nancy Mitch
ell, found in Silver creek some time
ago, and who it was thought was muir
dered by her husband, was concluded
this morning. A large number of wit
nesses were examined by the coroner,
but the testimony failed 10 point to
Mitchell &C his wlfe's murderer. His
ATTEMPT to escape, however, as soon
as he heard OF the finding CT the body,
tends to throw susp cion on him. The
desire of the crowd which followed
the officers who had Mitchell in Gus
tody was evidently to lynch him, but
he was lodged in all before the mob
bad gained sufficient courage to take
him from the officers.

The House Committee on the Judi
cary to-day resolved to report the
Lowell bankruptcy bill to the House
one week from Thursday next. 1t is
said the bill has been considerably
amended, but members were instruct
ed to keep secret the details. There
was considerable diversity Of opin-
ions among the committee as to the
form of the bill to be reported The
vote stood s to z in favor of reporting
the Lowell bill, but at least one of the
affirmative votes was cast solely from
desire to have the general subject
discussed in the House. The order TO
report the measure a week from next
Thursday was made TO give the minor
ity an opportunity to prepare substi-
tute. 1t is understood that several of
the minority are opposed to the enact
ment OF any bankruptcy act, while
others intend to report a substitute in
the nature of the till introduced by
Representative Seney [O.]. That bill
provided in substance that q debtor
may make an assignment of his effects
in trust for all his creditors, and may
within year petition the courts to be
released. If the court Is satisfied that
no creditors had been preferred during
the six months preceding the assign
ment, and other wise convinced Of the
good faith OF the debtor toward his
tiSNib HeB ~ bldtl ulbCudIR6 Lub u0DLOr
from further liability.
1t is understood that the important
amendments to the bill made by the
committee are as follows: The pro-
vision for the appointment OF nine
Supervisors is stricken out. The
clause providing that debtor whose
commercial paper is thirty days past
due shall be placed in voluntary bank
ruptcy, is also stricken out. A pro-
vision is added to the clause requiring
creditors to give bond upon the issue
at their request of warrant for the
arrest OF a debtor, allowing the debtor |
to recover exemplary damages in cases
where the warrant is procured with
out probable cause or through malice.
A clause is also added to the effect
that neither the wife nor attorney OF
the debtor shall be required upon ex-
animation to disclose any communica-
ton made to them by the debtor,
which is protected as confidential by
the practices of common law.

How much more revolving to be in

FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS.
TIE EDUCATION BILL PASSED
THE SENATE BY A
Vote Of SO to 1.-The Principal
Amendmenis-Ihe Deficiency
Bill Also Passed.

WASHINGTON, March 5. - House
After the call of committees for reports
OF private nature, the House went
into committee Of the whole (Mr.
McCreary Ky in the chair on tie
ursent deficiency bill.
Mr.. Burns Mo took up and ex-
planned the provisions Of the bill.
The total amount carried by the bill
was 1884, 452. Five thousand five
hundred and ninety dollars was ap-
propriated for compensation OF special
agents OF tho Treasury to examine the
books Of the several sub~treasuries.
Part OF this deficiency arose in the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1885, on
account of q special examination re-
quired by q Dedication in the New
Orleans sub-Treasury. The appro-
p,iation for the current year had be-
come exhausted, principally because
the expense OF examination had be-
come greater on account of the large
amount Of silver in the various sub
treasures. Six thousand dollars was
appropriated for repairs OF the Treas
ury Department building. Twelve
continue the propagation of food
fishes in the Gulf OF Mexico. An sp-
preparation of $4,000 was made for
furnishing artificial limbs to Union
soldiers. The deficiency of $lS5,000
ia The fees Of Jurors and witnesses bad
arisen from the extraordinary ex-
penses attending trials in Utah Terri
tory. There was appropriated for
tina armame nt of the four new cruis-
ers $251,s6 The first appropriation
for the cruisers had been an unguarded
appropriation. 1t had beer an appro-
pria,ion that left it within the power
of the SeGre tary Of the Navy to leave
the money in one bureau, and take it
out OF that bureau after obligations
had been incurred in another. Con-
gress has stf adily improved the modes
and methods of making the appJopria-
tione, and from the date of the Robe
son bill to the present hour, legisls-
ton, under the direction of the APP
preparation Committee, had been
vast improvement over the legislation
that preceded it.
After long debate committee rose
and the bill was passed. Yeas, 300;
nays, 20.
The House then went into commit.
tee of the whole on the private calen-
dar.
The committee soon rose and the
House. after passing two private bills,
took recess until 1880 O'Clock, the |
evening session to be for the oonsidera-
ton of pension bills.
At its evening session the House
passed fifty pension bills and ad-
journed.

The Little j." Extension.

Judge Joseph d. Eads, in a letter to tb q
Natchez Banner, thus indicates what he
and MANY others consider the best route
for the extension OF the "Little j. to COL
umbus, but the Syndicate have pretty well
agreed upon route by way OF Pniladel-
phia and Macon:
The Little j." when extended to Col
umbus, the gauge widenened and your
bridge built, will become at once a trunk
line, and do an immense business. This,
think, might be, and ought to be, apparent
to any and everybody.
Up this way We all live in hope of seeing
the Little j." extended on to Columbus
or further, and believe that it will come by
Carthage, for we are in a direct line be
| tween Jackson and Columbus; and a
trunk road should be as straight as the ma
tare of the country over which it is to pass
will admit of.
| There is a large scope of country Car
