Aftér this, and until this moraing, no momber of the Tudiclary Committea sava Mr, Tromain, and, doubtless Batler, saw tuo bill which ‘Tremaiu Lad propared, Ine stead of the saving clauss ordered by tho Commit- 3c0. tho provisious of tho bill prevared by Jay,Cooko's Mtornoy to savo bis clients was put in the bill when it was introduced and read, It was as completos nur- ptice to every member of tlio Committes, oxcept Tre- main, apd, doubtless, Butler, as it wis o any olbor member of ftho louse. They wero Indignnnt ot the trick, and no member of the Commit- teo defended or advocated tho biil oxcept Trowein, Jowett, of Oblo, nnd Butler, Doth Potter, of Now York, nnd Ward, of Iiilzols, repudiated tho trick, and advocatod o ropeat without projudice to pending cases, 1t was thought by mnuy let night that tho LAl ua it stood would pass, but Wilson, of Indiona, who was the frat to spouk {n opposition to tho bill, startled the Houre with (o bold cxposursof the fraud that was sought to bo perpetrated, snd from thot time on thers was a vieiblo clango in tho {eelings of membors, Mr, Eldredge, of tho Committec, artvocated tho bill becauso bio favored tho repeal of the v, which he always opposed. Among thoso who votedno on the Lifl ns amended by Beck were many who did so becauso they wero opposed to tho ropeal of tha law, but were in fuvor of tho modifications sug- gested fu your diapatches recently, by which tho timo to e'apso before the fullure of a dobtor to meot his pa- per should Lo coustrued am act of bankruptey should be extendod, ond making it noccssary for @ nnmber of the crslitors to combino before the debtor conld ko forced Into baukruptey. When tho bill comes up {n {ho Senato thess modifications will doubtless be put in, orit will bo defeated. Tholmpros- slon mado by Tremaln was bad, Ho conducted Lis caso {n & paid-attornay atyle, and, altbiough Lo Gnally voted for tho bill as amended by Back, e evidently did 1t 58 tho bost thing for him under the circumstances, A5 paead, tho ill provides for the repeal of the law, with » groviston to continuo pending tas:s undor the old law, and to allow tho officers iu Binkruptey Cottris, §n ~scs now ponding, only half the foes for- merly patd. TNE BALARY BILL. When the Salacy bill catno up, Mr, Kasson™tacked on an amendment prwidiug that th reduction shall tako offcct from (ho 4th «f March last, This was furiher nmended by Mr. Hunbut, of Iinols, by providing that members of Congress should bo divided into threo classcs, tho firet clasd to voceiva §7,500 ayoar, the scc- ond cluss £5,000, and tho tlurd cluss 3,000 o year, each Congressman to be required ot tho beginning of. cvery sessiom to 1o with tho clork a wrilten stalement of bls own csthnato of tho worth of lls crvises, nd select- ing thoclass In which lio belloves Limsalf to” belong.

Of course, Butler's object way fo kil S tho Bl Tho scaslon wms prolonged < il after 6 o'clock with Glbustering proceedinge, Dut finally Butler’s smendmont was rojected by clybt mojority agaturt &, while Kusgon's was adopted by o Iarge majority, The bill comes up to-morrow after 110 moruing hour, and may pass as nmended, although it {s by no means certain thut o majority of thoee vol- ing for Kusron's amendment did not do 6o for the pur- poso of incumberiug tho bill.
