Tho Post has an editorial of a similar strain. The blunders of the Govern? ment are far more than on average. Its exercise of power has been as absolute as it has been discreet. It is immaterial whether the adverse results of the elec? tions are due to the dissatisfaction of the country at the past, or uncertainty regarding the polioy of the Government in the future.

A bill was pa:,seil permitting a narrow gauge railroad to bo laid on the public ground.-, at Old Roiut Com? fort, Va. In the Senate, resolutious giving wit? nesses before Senate committees $1 per day and five cents per milo ench way und a bill for the relief of Wm. H. Vosey were pu9sed. Davis introduced a bill to authorize the Attorncy-Geuural to settle tho claims of tho Government with tho purchasers of its property at Harper's Ferry. Referred to the Com? mittee on the Judiciary. Tho bankruptcy bill was resumed The amendment of Suermuu, to fix the limit of time at ninety days in which a party dishonoring his commercial paper can be adjudged n bankrupt, after dis? cussion, was referred. Ar amendment requiring a third of the oreditors tu force a debtor to bankruptcy was re? jected. Thurmnn said tho clause now proposed to be amended had been sub? jected to tho severest criticism in the oommitteo, aud after careful considera? tion, one fourth of the number of cre? ditors and one-third of tbu amount of tho debts had beeu ngrced to. Carpen? ter said ho came here, at the opening of the session, fully prepared to vote for u repeal of tho bankrupt, law, but after a thorough examination of tho question, he h id oomo to tho conclusion that to repeal the law would be detrimental to debtors as a class. Ho would, there? fore, vote for continuing tho law, and would support tho umendmeut of tho Judiciary Committee, with such others offered in tho Senate as he might deem advantageous. Other amendments, reported with a view to verbal ouanges, were adopted as re? ported by tho Judiciary Committee. Tho committee amendments, as passed by the Souuto, (is i time at forty duys within which any banker, broker, mer? chant, trader, raryufurturer or miuer, who has stopped or suspended, and uot resumed payment of his commercial pa? per, shall not be deemed a bankrupt, und presoribe that fees, commissions, charges and allowances, excepting uctuul and necessary disbursements of and to be made by tho officers, agents, mar? shals, musseugers, assignees uud regis? ters, iu cases of bankruptcy, shall be reduced to ouo-hulf of the allowances heretofore provided for. Tho Justices of tho Supremo Court, who are to make new rules and regulations in respect tu this luw, are empowered to consolidate tho duties of register, assignee, marshal aud clerk, and to reduce the cost of charges, to the end thai delay and un? necessary expense may bo avoided. Edmunds offered a now amendment, conferring jurisdiction in bankrupt eases upon any Circuit or District Court of the United States, which was agreed to. He also offered no umendmeut dis? pensing with personal scrvico of notice iu ull cases of cluims not exceeding 650, und providing, iu oases whero tho amount should be under that sum, that notice could bo given by publication iu newspapers; agreed to. He also offered an additional uectiou to tho bill, pro? viding that it should be tho duty of the marshal of eaoh district, iu the mouth of July iu each year, to report to tho Clerk of tho District Court, in tabulur form, to bo prescribed by tho Justices of tho Supreme Court of the Uuited States, first, the number of cases iu bankruptcy in which warrants have come to his bunds; second, how many of such warrants wero returned, with tho foes, costs, expense." and emoluments thereof; third, total amount of nil other fees, costs, expense! and emoluments earned aud received by him dunug the year, from or iu resqject to any matter iu bankruptcy; fourth, a summarized statement of such fees, costs and emo? luments, exclusive of actual disburse? ments in bankruptcy, received or earned during tho year; fifth, a summarized statement of all actuul disbursements iu such cases; also, requiring every regis? ter to report, in like mauuur, tho uuiu bor of voluntary und compulsory cases iu bankruptcy coming before him during the yenr, tho amount of assets and liabilities of the bankrupt, tho amount und rato per oeut. of ull divi? dends deolared, and disposition of ull such oases.

Bimilar return to the olerk of ?doli court io the mouth of August in each year, and is required to transmit to the Attorney-General aud report all oases pending and disposed of, dividends declared, disposition of cases, whether any officer has failed to mako bis re? port, Sco. Any violation of this section is to be punished by dismissal from office, and the party offending to bo deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon oonviotion, to bo fined not more than $500 or impiisoued not exceeding one year. The section was adopted. Tburman offered an amendment abo? lishing tho office of Register in Bank? ruptcy, and authorizing the several Dis? trict Courts to muke such orders, and to tuko such steps as may bo necessary, to adjudicate and dispose of all such mat? ters or proceedings in liL'.'&ruptcy now pending before snoh register; also, giv? ing the District Courts power, whore it may appear to bo necessary or advisa? ble, to appoint speoiul Master Commia siouers, to perform any of the duties heretofore performed by registers; such power to be also excercised by a judge iu chambers; no fees or compensation shall bo paid to any such coincmsiouer except such as shall bo allowed by the court. Th?r man, in advocitiug the adoption of his amendment, said, in three-fourths of tho districts of the United States, the judges hud ample time to discharge all tho duties which would devolvo upou them if tho office of Register in Bankruptcy should bo abo? lished; and ir consideration of tho cam plaints from all quarters of the lurge amounts reoeived by these officers as feet', he thought it a move iu tho right di? rection to abolish tho office. E lmuuds eaid his friend Tburman might havo Rome prejudices on this subject that ho l was uot aware of himself, and had therefore got a little off tho track in this case. It might be that he would like to see so many Republicans put out of office. Tburman said ho didn't know tho politics of a siuglo register in tho United States, but from ull accounts, tbe Democrats bad got a pretty good share. [Laughter.] Edmunds said that may be, as there is very litt Io of anything going on but what the Demo? crats get a share. [Renewed laughter.] The amendment of the gentlemau (Tburman) had been considered in tho committee, and rejected. Iu tbe amend? ments alroudy agreed upon, it hud been provided for a reduction in fees? To havo the work done efficiently, under the bankrupt law, it roust be paid for, and ho did not think it advisable to im? pose ibis dutj upon the courts. Pend? ing the discussion onThormuu*s unieud ineut to abolish tho office of register, the Senate went iuto executive session.

Boston, Febrnary G.?Tho Seuatu to? day, by a vote of 22 to 13, concurred in the House biil endorsing the proposed Philadelphia ccutcuuial exhibition. In the United States District Court to-day, in the Franklin Saving Fund case, counsel for tho petitioners said that, upon looking at tho investment ao oouuts of tho debit side, amountiug to $1,500,000, and tho credit sido ?50,000, they had them kept in lead pencil, sub? ject to alteration, and it was very impor? tant that they should inspect ull the books, to see whether such alteration had or had not boon made. They I thought it simply probable that tho books had beeu tampered with, lor ou the very day the injunction was served, they showed transactions to the extent of $100,000. Iu additiou, upou exami? nation, it was found that within six mouths, and after tho institution had suspended, payments on Oyrus Cad walla dor's account had been made, aud it was proved that he was paid $1,500 in excess of his amount. Judge Cudwalladersaid this last assertion wurrauted tho atten? tion of the court; aud if the petitioner would amend his petition so as to in? clude it as a fraudulent prcforcuco of a creditor by au insolvent debtor within six months, and counsel for defendants would udmit the fact, the case would be in shape for adjudication. The amend meat was made, aud counsel for defence asked for an answer before adjournment.
