Washin?ton, February 4?Evening.
In tbe Hoti io, tho army appropriation
bill was under consideration. Hol man,
of Indiana, offered un amendment pro?
hibiting payment to land-grant rail?
roads for th? transportation of troops
und supplies, leaving to railroads the
right to suo for tho same in the Court of
Claims. After same hard knocks be?
tween Holman as a domagoguo, und
Holmau holding up Hoar as tho paid
attorney of. base corporations, the
amendment wus adopted. On motion of
Coburn, of Iudiaua, an amendment was
udopted iu regard to tho Southern rail?
roads which purchased rolling stock
and material from the Government in
1805? that the Government refuses to
give an order for payment on tho Post
Office Department. Another amend?
ment abolishes the mileage to officers,
und limits them to their actual traveling
oxpenses. The amendments were adopt?
ed in committee of tho whole, and have
to be voted on again in the House.
Hodges, from Arkansas, was .admitted
to Ids eeut on prima facie right, und
sworn in. The Southern Trans-Conti?
nental Railroad bill and the bill extend?
ing the time for presenting claims to
the Southern Claims Commission were
reported, and on-points of order, buried
in committee of the wbolo.
In the Senate, Fenton presented tbo
potitiou of business men of New York
.?' TTT??~'?I-1-?-p-?;-?
(or a speedy return to specie pay men ta,
and depreoating the farther issue of
legal tenders. The oashraptoj till was
resumed. There was pending an
amendment, (being that of Oleaby,) to
strike oat tlie words "or who has
stopped or has suspended and not re?
sumed payment of his commercial pa?
per, within a period of forty days, so
that persons of that class should not pe
oonsiderel baukmpts." Edmunds op?
posed the umeudmout, and argued that
the bankrupt law would amount to no?
thing without such a provision. Logan
favored the adoption of the-amendment,
and said if tho business mnn should be
unfortunate, and oonld not meet his pa?
per for a few dayt-, it should not be in
the power of the creditors t ? Jrivo him
into bankruptcy. He was opposed to
tbe prinoiple of baukrupt Iuwh, as he
did not believe thuy insured fair dealing
between men. No man should be forced
into bankruptcy uuless the amount
claimed agaiust him bo ut least $2,000
oi $3,000. Tbarman argued that the
amer ..ment of the committee was moro
liable than the old bill, where the pe?
riod was fourteen days. The commit
teo now proposed to fix the period at
forty days. Tbe English and Froacb
bankrupt laws were even more strict
than our old law. Tbe bill now pro?
posed by the committee was the most
liberal uf any commercial country on
tbe faoe of the earth. Ogiesby said he
offered hia ameudmeut in tho interest of
a just and fair bankrupt law. He did
not think it judicious to fix tbe number
of days by which an honost business mau
should be forced from his occupation uud
driveu into bankruptcy und disgrace.
He could pursue with the bankrupt luw,
or any law, the class of persons who
were doing .business dishonestly, and
oonstantly endeuvoring to csaupe tbo
payment of honest debts. With tbo
exception of the portion he desired to
strike out, he beliovod the amendments
of tbe committee were just and fair,
and the people of tho whole country
would bo satisfied with it. Freiing
huyseu, of New Jersey, argued that tho
adoption of tho amendment would be
detrimental to the baukrupt law. With
that provision in, over-trading would be
prevented. Business men, knowing
that their paper must bo mot, would
trade carefully. Edmunds said, by
leaving the provision in, an honest
debtor who wuited to meet bis paper
could not bo pounced upou and forced
into bankruptcy by some avaricious t?ud
grasping creditor tho next day, but
would bo protected for forty days, by
which time he might recover his stand?
ing. Thurmun said, of all the letters
received from various parts of the
country by members of the Judiciary
Committee, not one complained of tho
amendments being too harsh. The only
four ho had was, the bill was so much in
favor of tho debtor class; but there was
a contingency of tho whole law being
inoperative. Tho motion of Ogiesby,
tostriko out the words above indicated,
was rejected, by a voto of 31 nays to 13
yeas Sherman moved an amendment
limiting the operations of the thirty
ninth seotion uf tho original law, us
amended and reported by the commit?
tee, to persons owing over $3,000.
He argued that in small cases, creditors
got little or uothing, and unnecessary
penalties wore iufltcted on tbe debtor.
He said if that amendment should not
be adopted, he would Submit another,
to extend tho period of forty duys within
which a person, having stopped or sus?
pended, and not resumed payment of
his commercial paper, should not be
forced into bankruptcy, to ninety duys.
Thurmun opposed the amendment of his
colleague (Sherman) to the bankrupt
law, though he thought it a matter of
little importance, ns thore bad been very
few eases whore the indebtedness did
not exceed $3,000. Ho gave notice
that, at the proper timo, he would offer
an amendment to the original law, so as
to provide for the proving of accounts
befor" a Justico of the Peaco or Notary
Public, instead of before a Registrar in
Bankruptcy or u United States Commis
siouer, as now provided. Pending the
discussion on Shenmuu's umuudmenr,
the Senato, at 1 35, adjourned*
