THE TEXAS PACIFIO DILL. ‘Wasgrsarox, Feb. 12—The House Committee on Pacific Railroade was in session nearly the entire day on the Texas Pacific Railroad Dbill The report of the sub-committee, signed by La- mar, Atkins, and O"™Neil, favoring the bill, was resd. Lattrell advocated the constraction of a rosd by sny company which would build it with- out s subsidy. Garfield slso dissented from the report, opposing all subsidies. DISTRICT MISGOVELNUENT. ‘The House Committee on the District of Co- lumbia began the investigation to-day. One witness was examuned, and he showed ihat a doubtfnl claim which he bad against tho former District Government for some $500, and which he rold_to an operator for 21,000 in bonds, with 'the notification of its dubioos character, had grown into a claim for over $8,000, which was allowed end paid. DRPARTMEXNT OF JUBTICE.. Thbe Committee on Expenditures in the Do- partment of Justicemade an investigation intothe fudicial overcharges in the Westera District of Texas, which revealed a prsctice of the Mar- «ebale and other officials out there, of charging mileage znd per diem fees of supposed deprties sna guards in cases of imaginary arrests. FREEDMEN'S BAXE. The Committes on the Freedmen's Bank had Mbefore it the Secretary of the Seneca Sandstone {Company, who deecribed the means by which the ‘reedmen’s Bank, foradebtof zome £63,000, now cuntiog with interest to about $%.000, was rinduced to take am collateral security second ortgsge bonds of the company for $95,000, which are of no market valoe whataver.

Ord, commanding the Mflilm?; Depart- imment of Texas, was examined to-day by tle Se- Ject Committes of the House on the Texas Frontier Troubles, and gave & very full and 10~ tolligent account of the cattie-raids to which the zanches on the American eide of the Rio Grande for 500 miles slong tho river and for 150 miles ack are sunjected. The country which is the wcene of theea-forays is separated from the river bysn extensive belt of undergrowth foreat, which forms s ehelter for cattlo thereon, and venders it next-to impoasible for the military patrols or posts to interfero with them. There ara TWO-CLASSES OF MEXICANS on the Texas side, one intelligent, honest sanchers, a8 much opposed to these raids as the American_portinn of the populstion, and the stner consisting of worthless fellows, most of tbem outlaws or deserters from the Mexican army, who act as spies for their compodres when they crossthe river on their cattle-stealing ex- fions.

The national Gc\-emmpeut o;é Rlexico is not to be _blamed, in Gen. Ord's opin- fon, for this state of things, bocause of the sys- tem of the Gorernment to let each Btate take pare of its own affairs. The only remedy fortho #vil which the Government is wrging upon the ‘War Department is to increase the cavalry force on the o Grando and give him su- thority, when , Boops “come on the xrail ~ of theso ‘ thieving bands, to ot the pursuit be continued to the Mexican side af the river, and let the troops deal summary gunighxnmt He eays that now in one or more orthern States himeelf and the Mexican com- mandant .

CLOSED FOR WANT OF FUNDS. Special Dispatch to The Lhicago Tribune. Wasarsaros, D.C., Feb. 12.—The Secretary ‘af the Treasury to-day furlonghed all the em- ployea of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in the Treasury Department, on account of hav- “ing no money to conduct the operations of the Buresu. Tho Columbian Bank-Note Company also suspended partially on account of the closing at the Treasury. This suspension is ow- ing to the completa exhaustion of the appropria~ tion. A strong presenre will be brought to bear to secure an immediste appropriation, as this Baresu is one in which the appaintments are al- most entirely made through political influences. ) THE CONGRESSIONAL TEMPERANCE BOCIETY {Zoet for business to-day at 12 o'clock in the Vice- Presideat's room at the The Hon.

THE CONSULAR BILL, The Republicans are uncertain what course to pureus in the Senate with respegt to the Diplomatic and Consular_bill paesed by the Houee. The bill as passed is the product of parsimony aud ignorance. No ressoring, how- ever sound and forcible, was listened to for a moment. The majority followsd Raodall and Holmsn with yeckless aod unquestioning laste. It is thomght by some that the Senate shonld accept the Dbill a8 it comos from the House, and pase it without amendment 88 asroke of good party polioy, leavicg the responsibility for the bad resuits eme to como from the bill on the Ifouse, where it proverly belongs.

C., Féb. 12.—Two gentlemen, d the White-House on Thursday, tell of an interestiug aud significant conversation with Col, Fred Greut, on the third-term ques- tion. They were speaking of the candidates for the next Repubiican pominstion for President, when Frod burst oub with an emphasis snd earnestness that Lis heareis say con- vinced thom of his sincerity: *If auybody 1hiuks thero is aoy third-term to him, bo ia mis- taken. Tather don't wantto Lo President eny more, end won't accept the nomination if the Cincionati Couveation offers 1t to him.” This was ropoated in substance several times. The couversation turning to the chances of tho dif- ferent caodidates, Fred expressed unbounded admuration for Conkling, remarking: * He's & stateaman snd 2 good Republican, and that is the mau for President.” He added a bove that Conkling wonld ges the nomination. and aid ha thonght he would elip in as Lincoln did, n 1560. A gentleman who heard him believes that he bat ochoed tho sentimants of his father. SUBURBAN SOCIETY. ITTDE PARE. The tableaux entertsinment given Thursday evening by the Young Ladics’ Mite Society of Bt. Paul's Church wos a great success [in every rospect. Flood's Hall ws well filled, notwith- standiog the ivelement wenthor, and everything ‘went on very emoothly. Promptly at 8 o'clock the curtain rose upon the firss sceue, rapresent- ing ** Night aad tho Plciades.” Miss Springer filled tho part of ** Night " with qacenly digoity, and around her wero a number of * bright par- ticular stars " in white, the ladies taking part being Miss Kate Shumsn, Miss Vina Norwood, Mies Fay Calboun, Miss Annie Allison, Diiss Clara Taylor, ana Miss Morray. Miss Belle Wait,as *‘The Greek Heroine.” next appeared in a graceful pose before the ‘body of her slain lover ; and, with sword lifted, she was apparently swearing vengeance upon s enenes. g “hg Marchioness and Dick Swiveller,” by Miss Mary Barker and Mr. John Culhonn, was very lifelike indeed. The well-known painting of Beatrice Cenci in prieon, sitting for her portrait to Guido Reni, was well represented by Miss Mary Barker and Mr. Jobn J, Herrtck. The next tablean was an excellent piece o statnesque posing by Miss Springer 23 +*Peass,” and Miss Calhionn as ** Faith.” Tha immobilic; of the statues was espceially noticcable, and the ladies deserve ail credit for the patience which they showed during two representations. A burlesgue upon Whittier's * Darbara Freit- chis” wes given in & very laughable manner. Miss Belle Wait was * Barbara,” and a very youthful bero in sbako and uniform rode a nobby-horse as Stonewall Jackson, while the trebel horde” was made up of the **Solid Mul- doon™ of the village and & number of yourg men. Mr. Russell read tho poem aloud, and the characters went throngh the appropriate action on the stage. « The closing scens in the fairy tale of **Cin- derella " was given in fine style by ifiss Nor- wood as Cinderella, Miss Clara slorgan as the fairy grandmother, Misses Calhoun and Taylor 23 the envious sisters, and Ir. Xfollinooks as the Prince, who was fitting the slipper to Cin- derella’s foot. +The Liou in Love” was one of the best of all the scemes, though the interest centred more in the love-sceno beiween the young couple than ic the decorous flirtation between the oid General and his ancient gweethears. Mr. Herrick was ibe old Geoeral, iliss Allison his fair charmer, while Aliss Ida Lewis and Alr. Long bud a litile realistic love-making in one corner. Miss Butlin. a8 Cornolia, showing her jewels —the Gracchi—to her wealthy visitor, Miss Murray, was a verv fine representation of o Roman matron. The same modernized was given by Aliss Irene Waldron as a mother of the period_introducing her eldest hopeful, Alr; Mur. ray—afop of the period—to Miss Lazzie Mar- shall, & belle of the period. A thrilling sensation was then creatod by three sccnes from the story of Judith and Holo- fernes. Bliss Wait, a8 Judith, first was shown resenting a goblet to the hated Holofernes, Mr., fiumell. Then she appeared with the sword raised to strike off his hesd ; and tue third time a bLighly roalistic tableau was prescnted, in which Judith held the sword in one hand and the bloody head of Holofernes in the other. The illusion was perfect, and the originator of thiy tableau deserves great credit for its ghastiysuc- cess. «Scared at a 3louse " represented the family cook, Mlss Lewie, fainting away st the sight ofa * ridiculus mus,” while a housemaid, Miss Rem- mer, had taken Tefuge on & chair. * DMiss Ada Waldyon gave & ting illustration of the traditional statue of **Justice,” Although the figure was admirably rendered, it wos a fair inference from the features of the statue that, in this case, justice wonld be apt to be tempered with mercy. *Courtship Under Difficulties ” was a double scene representation of the sorrows of a hand- some footman, Mr. Starr Wood, and au upper bousemaid, Miss Norwood, who wers interrupt~ edinavery agreecible tcte-a-tote by a bharsh mistress, Mies Shuman. The mistrees was evi- detly & heartlesa old maid who did not appre- ciate such amiable billing and cooing among her servants. Miss Irene Waldron, as * Columbia,” gave the final tablean, which was one of the finest of sll. The features, costume, and pose were all that con'd be asked of Columbia even in this centen- nial year, 1876. _ Altogether, the entertainmert was highly en- joyable. Being & novelty with which great pains had been taken, it was very gratifyiug to ses that over 200 people braved the storm to attend. There remains but one more entertainment of lbln ftll:eiouny before L;nt, and, a8 it is to be 8 leap-year party, one week- {from Thursday. it will undonbtediy have the full succees which has sttended all the previons moetings. As the time approschi, the gentlemen who Lave a0t set ro cefved invifations may bo easily recognized by the anxious look with “which they scaa all their 1ady acquaintances, and the assiduity with which they pay visits. 1t is estimated by experta that there have been five times 2s many ladies in- vited ont since this party has boen discussed than Quring aay other two months in the yesr. The next mesting of the Informal Club’ will tske placo at the residenca of Mrs. J.W. Oakley, on the corner or Forty-reventh street and Drexel bonlevard, Taesday evening. Lent is fast spproaching, when no Episcopali- an can dance, and whether there will be aay ro- vival of gayety after Easter seems to be a "diffi- Lowever, that perhaps there will be four meet- inga of a club similar to the Informai Clab, and when that series of dances is completed shero may ba n organization for out-door dancing par- ties. Fhariy which took place The *‘leap-yesr party” which tool Thursday evg;n(ug wes undonbtedly the most successful, brilliant, and thoroughly enjoyablo entertainment that has yet occurred uuder (ne auspices of the Social Club. The ladies carried ont their part of the programmo faithfully. and the completeness and perfection of all the ar- rangements conclusively and eatisfactorily at- teats their ability as managers of social enter- tainments. Tho ball was tastefully decorated, Pound's music was even better than nsual. the ladiea were very attentive. aud tho gentlomen graciously condescended to be very much pleased with evervthing. There was only one drawback. II the Iadiea had known that a popular yonng gentleman of Racine had recaiv- d nearly a dozen invitations to = similar party that city the previous night, there 15 mo Goubt that Evanston could now show s gentle- man rejoicing in at loast tirenty invitations, but the gentlemen were too timid o suggest the ad- visability of such sotion, and L 8 must yiold the palm to Racine in this one par- ticular. “Among the Iadies present wero Mesdames I .

Bales of English piece goods aro carried to the Oomtee rivnlet and wasned ; and the object of this is to thicken the texture of the cloth, and 80 to get & much higher price than that current for them as they arrive from Man- cheatar. The pieces are one by cne opened out at the river's bank and washed in the running water. This takes off tno Eglish siring; they are next re-rolled and beaten with wooden clabs, dipped and beaten again and again, snd 8o on for hours ; tho throads then begin to awell and thicken the cloth, go that the wearing appeers close and tough. They are thon reopened and partly dried, dipped ioto a tub of well-boiled rice-water (guch as is nsed by dhobies for starch- 1ng), sud carefully hung out to dry. When dry the cloth is carefully refolded, pressed, and placed in the ehop for sale. The change the cloths undergo by this process is astouishe ivg.

What Register Kibbard and Official Assignees Jenkins zand Cook Think About It A fow days since 3 resolution to repeal the Bankrupt law was introduced in the Lower House of Congress, aud adopted by a vote of 186 t057. Iv mow goes to the Senate for conour- rence. Tiwo yearsago a similar resolution was introduced in Congress. It paesed the House of Representatives, but was defeated in the Senate. Yesterday aftornoon a TricuxE reporter called on geveral of tho United States Court officials, whose duty is confined to the sdjustmentand settlement of bankruptey cases, for the purposes of obtaining their views on tho iaw and the pos- sible results that may arise from its repesl. Tho firet called on was TEE HON. HOMER N. TIIBDARD, Register in Davkruptey for this district. After the customary salutations had been concluded, the reporter stated the object of his visit and the following couversation ensued : +Mr. Hibbard, I presnme you have heard that the House of Representatives Las ropealed the Bankrupt act by a very large vote, and that it now awaits the sction of tho Seuate. What do you think of it?" *The Bankrupt law peeds amondment. Sec. 17 of the act of June 22, 1874, in relation to compositions, which in itself reads well, and seoms to be a very humane provision, has been abused more than any eimple provision of the Iaw, and, unless it can be materially modified so as to prevent fraud, might a8 well be aban- doned, ‘The provision in tho same act requiring one-fourth of the creditors and one-third of tho smount of the indobtedness to join in an invol- uniary petition [compulsory banlkruptey] is a wise provision, when the cazuse of the bank- ruptey is simpiy s suspension of commercial paper. But whken TLE CAUSE 18 YRAUD, . or eezrcting goods, or carrying property out of the jurisdiction of the Court, only oue creditor, bavibg a claim of, at lexst, say , should bo required to attach his nsme to the petition.” *How many cases havo passed through your Lands during the past year #” “In locking over the records of my office a few days spo, I found thero wers sbout 150 cagas in bankroptcy in 1875 arising in this county.” + How many of these wers absolute failures ¥ “ Not moro than & dozen of the Io could, in any aeuse, be considered failures.” +\What were the remainder?” “Tho remainder wore the cases of impecuni- ous people who sought discharges from their dobts, many of which wera leng since con- tracted. Tho parties had no assers beyond & ltmited wardrobe,” ** Are there any other defects?” * Yes, another defect in the practical work: ings of the law is tho facility wich which baok- rupts get discharges.” “+(su you suggest any remedy for this?” + I cannot suggest any in detail. In Logland, under the practice of a Bankrapt law not very dissimilar from our own, it seems to be much more DIFFICULT TO GET DISCHARGES.” *Why ia this s02" #In England the conscience of the bankrupt is moro thoroughly searched than with us.” «Qr, in other words, perjury is much more disraputable there than here?” s Well, yes, that's about it.” # Can't our Courts thoroughly examine the bankrapt as to his coddition—put him through & thorough cross-examination ?” *Yes. Judge Blodgett bas held that, where s merchant lias gone into business with a cer- tain amount of capital and bas after- wards purebased s certain amount of goods, he must account for such capital and purchases ; and, if he cannot show substantially where his capital and purchases have gons to, the Court. in case a wide discrepancy were found in his showing, should judicially find that he had se- croted a portion of his goods, and order the bankropt to SURRESDER THE SAME to his assignec. In two cases of this charscter Judge Blodgett, notwithstanding the protest of the bankrapt that ho hsd secreted nothing, held him to be in contempt until he accounted for such shortage.” Iy snch contempt punishable 2" Yes, just the same as olher contempts. Tho defendant was obliged to purge himself of it or go to jail.” “If tho Bankrupt law were repealed, what would be the result under the State laws ?” “+ Under the State law, the first judgment and levy are a first lien. Ileuce, 33 soon asa mor- chant fails to meot his paper promptly, the suc- cessful collection lawver will bring suit at once, on the principle of ‘first come, first served.’ Necessarily this excites diligence and a scramble for the effects of the merchant. In o practice of eightoen years in this State, largely devoted to a collecting business, I have found that the more severs the attorney i8 the more likely he is to collect his client’s claims, and he is more in- terested to get 100 cents on the dollar for his client. though in the aggregaie far less is paid to the creditors than to divide 10 per cent among sll the creditors.” *Which costs the more, a sale by the Bherift or by an Assignee 2" d ++1 think it may be eafely atated that stocks of goodsare secrificed 28 much by ShoriT's salo as bv an Assignea’s.” ; “;\'bn is the great good of tho Bamkrupt aw 2" %“The bercfit arising from a Bankrupt law is not confined to the cases in bankruptey in coart, but appears in the PORBEARANCE OF CREDITORS to debtors which it canses. I bhava been told within & mooth, by several merchants in this city, that had it not been for the existence of the Bankrupt law for the past few years they would have failed, since they would have been sued on their first maturing indebtedness, which they did not pay; aud judg- ment, execution, aud Sheriff’s sale would have ended their business, by the payment of 10 per cent of the claims sgainst thom.

TOMER COOK, another Official Assignee, was the next objective point of the interviewer. Ar. Cook was found in bis office in consnltation with twoor three legal brethren over somo knotty point of Jaw. in which_three or four clients who were present were interested. At the conclusion of the con- forence the 3fan of the Pencil proceeded to ply his vocation as follows : 4 Afr.

I presume you are awara that the re- pealing act has passed the Lower Housa by a large majority 2" “The Dapkrupt law hag a restraining in- fluonce on many, who would make prefergntial assignments, Without such a law, & man fdight sccure bi3 friends to the prejudice of his other oreditors.” “Would you suggest any amendments?” “1 thinl it should be amended g0 a3 to make the resnlts songht attainable in less time than at present.” ¢ Jg the law complicated as it now stands?” “It has been protty well construed and its provisions settled. I don’t know of any other smendments.” “IN WHOSE PAVOR I8 THE PROPOSED REPEAL? " “Itis in the interest of the wholesale mer- chaots of the West."” ¢ And those of the East?” I think those in the East favor the law.” “ Wil the repeal of the law have a tendency to increase litigation 2 “Yes; and it will afford more opportunities for fraud than the present law.” “*What are your ideas about the Register and :be ?mclnl Assignes rocoiving s salary instead of ees? " **The Rogister should raceive s certain salary, and all fees should go to the Government.” *‘How about the Official Assignee?” 1 am not pronated to answor that quostion.™ This terminated the interview. _ PETITION TO ANEND. The following petition to Congress asking an amendment to the Bankrupt law was proposed recently in New Yorlg, and is now in circnlation in all the large cities in the Union for signa- tores. The gzemiomm ask tho amenaing of Secs. 5,021, 5,022, 5,023, 5,045, and 5.112 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, and tho repeal of Becs. 9, 10, and 12, of the act entitled ‘*An act to amend and supplement an act eo- titled ‘An act to establish a uniform syatem of bavkraptey throoghout the United States.’ ap- proved March 2, 1857, and for other purposes,” approved June 22, 1874. y The following is the text of the document: ™ To the Honorabic the Senate and Honse of Representa- tives of the United &tates of merica 1n Congress as- semuoled: We, the undersigned merchants of Chicago, in' the State of Iilinois, hereby respectfully pray that the Baukrupt Isw may not be repealed, but that tha same a3y be amended, for the following reisons, to-wit : 1. A proper national Bankrupt law is aitost a ne- cessity in u country composcd of s0 many distinct States, and is beneficial to both creditor and debtor. 2. A syatem of involuntary bankraptcy has_alwass been designed to reach fraudulent debtors, and to bo etfective must be simplo and summary, There is, therefore, no sound reason why a combination of creditors should b required except in the caze of the guspension of commercial paper; but, on the oter Dhand, the requirement of such a combination renders the proceeding cumbersome, and frequently defeats tho very purpose of the law. 3. Under the provisions of the present cxemption laws, o debtor biys goods on credit, and either ciaima an exemption out of the goods so purchased, or seils them and 1nvests the proceeda In. exempted property - thus making the exemption laws 5 cover for the moat outrageous fraud. 4. The decrease in the percentage of assets required to obtain a discharge has demoralized the community, and made o corresponding _decresse in the amounts offercd ays_comprcmjse In cases not brought under the law, The old 50 per cent clauso should therefors bo restored. 1t Is, moreover, s profection ngainst that secret fraud which consists in the concealment of ss- scts, When ndebtor converts his assets into cosh and Dides tho money, experience shows that it 18 very dif- ficult o eatablish the concealment or reach the money. This clause compels such perions to psy o ressonsbie amount gr take upon themselves the burden of show- ing such” an honest courso of business as will satisfy tho majority of their creditors. 5. No discrimination should be made in favor of in- voluntary bankrupts, for they are gemerslly put ito Ttankrupicy on accoumt of the.commission of fome act which the law denounces 2a a wrong to bis credi- tors, while a voluntary bankrupt generally goes into bunkruptcy to prevent s sscrifica of his property under a mortgago or execution, or to prevect somo creditor from obtatning a preference, 6. The provisions of the amendment of June 22, 1874, which we desire to have repealed, have Leen found prejudicisl to the commercial commuunity.
