' SUNDAY, DEC. 10, 1882. "FUTURES" Ui CONGRESS. Speculation in "futures" is now at tracting some of the attention of the United States Senate, in the shape of an amendment by Senator Morgan, of Alabama, to the bankrupt act now un der discussion, which provides that dealing in futures, that is in the sale of any stocks, cotton, grains, flour, meat, Sac, not in actual possession of the sell er, either as owner, authorized agent, or trustee, shall constitute an act for which the offender may be thrown into bankruptcy. This amendment seems to have met the approval of the Senate as it was agreed to without discussion. Senator Morgan in expressing his views upon it said he gathered his ideas from the statutes of the State of Mass achusetts, which prohibited such speculation, and remarked that if such a law prevailed in his State, the people of one town alone would have saved $600,000 lost on cotton futures last year. Laws of this kind are in existence in several States, and within the past year there have been legal decisions in Illi nois, Iowa, Tennessee, and we think other States, declaring such transac tions null and void in law. The trouble is that where the laws are in existence they have not been enforced, and by an apparent common consent have fallen into disuse. We say an apparent com mon consent for no one undertook to enforce them, and until recently the courts and grand juries closed their eyes, while at times whole communities went wild over the "future" craze. One day it was stocks, then grain, oil, cot ton, pork, anything and everything that could be manipulated on the markets and at which simpletons would bit, and on which they would put up their margins. Thousands of the families have been made bankrupt, the insane asylums have received a full quota, and thou sands of men, supposed to be honest, have been made thieves by engaging in this exciting, and demoralizing busf ness. It is said that at times the ex changes where this kind of business is carried on are like perfect pandemoni ums, and resemble more insane asy lums where the inmates have broken loose than a place where people gather for commercial transactions ; old and young, rich and poor, the man of hun dreds and the man of millions all seen equally wild, and all apparently crazy. The only cool heads are those which are not seen, which remain behind the curtain, manipulate the subject of specu lation and rake in the plunder drawn from unsuspecting and deluded vic tims. But there is another phase of this monstrous evil in which the public is interested, and which is of vital im portance, and that is that through the manipulations of these gamblers in fu tures all the necessaries of life are ad vanced when they see fit to do so to starvation prices. They control the food that supports the life of the peo ple, the garments that cover their bodies the fuel that warms them in winter, almost everything that is used, eaten or drunk, save the water which heaven supplies and which they cannot mon opolize. This is not in the interest of the producer of any of these articles, for they receive no benefit from it and are as much at the mercy of the "cor nerer" as the poor toiler who out of his scanty daily earnings buys the meagre supply with which he feeds his poorly cared for wife and children, but in the interest alone of the heartless sharks whose fortunes are made out of the distress of others. We commend Senator Morgan's ac tion, and trust now that the subject has been broached in the national legisla ture, it will not be permitted to drop until something has been done to abate this great and monstrous evil. NATIONAL LAWMAKERS. A LIVELY DAY AT BOTH ENDS OF THE CAPITOL. THE RAILROAD WAR. Some days ago we published a bill in relation to the railroad war now being waged in South Carolina before the State Legislature. The Charleston News and Courier of yesterday says the' bill has passed the upper house, and it announces that fact under the following significant headlines: "Trying the Georgia Plan The Rail road Bill Passes the Senate Trium phantlyA Hard Fight Yesterday, but the Railroad Champions were Met and Defeated at Every Point Amendment after Amendment Voted Down and the Bill Passed in all its Force and Vigor." It is said that 200,000 families in Ireland will default on rent After the four weeks' grace has expired the cruel and remorseless policy of eviction will be-gin. It is rumored that Mr. Jay Gould is negotiating for an entire block of ground in New York, east of Central Park, and between Madison and Fifth avenues, with a view of erecting upon it the finest dwelling house and conser vatory in the city. - The Greenback vote of Indiana was a trifle larger this year than in 1880, nmdthefact hasied alotof the cranks ' " concerned to meet and resolve to reor - ; ganize the party with entirely new name and principles.

The Senate Makes a Pass at Political Assessments, and Tackles the Bank ruptcy Bill While the House Warms Up on the River and Harbor Appro priations. Washington, Dec. 9. Senate.- Petitions from tobacco dealers and manufacturers for a rebate, for any re duction that may be made in the tax on tobacco, were presented by Hale and Miller, of New York, and Edmunds. Hoar asked Pendleton when he in tended to call up his Civil Service bill. Pendleton, in reply, asked unanimous consent to take up a bill for the pur pose of making it the special order for Monday next. , Voorneea said there were so many more important measures awaiting the action or the Senate that he was com pelled to object. Pendleton then gave notice that as soon as the bankruptcy bill was disposed of he would move to take up the Civil Service bill. Senator Morgan's amendment to the bankruptcy bill, which was adioted last evening,makes certain additions to the list of acts already enumerated in the bill which constitute grounds for involuntary bankruptcy proceedings. The text of the amendment is as fol lows: "Or shall, after the passage of this act, sell or agree to sell for delivery at a future time any stocks, bonds or other securities, or any grain, food, pro visions, provender or cotton, sugar, salt or tobacco, .without being, at the time of making such contract, the owner or assignee or trustee of the property sold, or agreed to be sold, or as au authorized agent of such owner, assignee or trus tee." In connection with the amend ment Morgan said, "The substance of this amendment I have taken from the statutes of Massachusetts, which one of the honorable Senators from that State has informed me by mere declar ation of the nullity of such contracts has had the effect of suppressing the evil within that State. 1 congratulate Massacnusetts upon her success, l wish that some law had been passed by my own State three years ago. so that in one city in the State of Alabama $600,000 would have been saved to some of the very best people in that city, its wives and children, which were squan- quered in a single season in betting on futures in cotton." Vance offered a resolution.which was agreed to. directing the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish, as soon as possible, a detailed statement showing the cost of collecting the internal revenue in each collection district, the number of employees in each district, and the per centage of cost upon the sums collected in eacn district. The President submitted a communi cation from the Secretary of War, transmitting in compliance with a re' solution adopted on the motion of Mr, Jonas, the estimates of the Mississippi river commission for the fiscal year ending June 39th, 1884. The discussion of the question of the reference of this communication to the commerce com' mittee, or the Mississippi river commit tee, Drougnt on a renewal of tne debate on the river and harbor bill of the last session, the point of attack being the use of public money to construct and repair the Mississippi levees. Pending the discussion.at the close of the morning hour. Beck called up his resolution for an investigation of po litical assessments. Vorhees addressed the Senate con gratulating the country upon the won derful change of heart on the subject among the Republicans since the dis cussion last summer. In the course of the discussion Hale read a circular call ing a meeting of the liquor dealers of Dayton, Unio, to aid m defeating "Tne fanatics and prohibitionists," and said he wished an investigating committee to summon Edward Cooper and ask how much money the Democratic com mittee in New York collected from the liquor dealers there ? At 2 o'clock without acting on Beck's resolution the Senate resumed the con sideration of the unfinished business, the bankruptcy bill. Hoar continued his speech in advo cacy of the "Lowell bill," and when he concluded Brown said he had listened to the speeches of In galls and Hoar and each had succeeded in convincing him that the bill of the other was wrong. He thought before devoting more time to the discussion of the de tails it would be well to ascertain whether the Senate was of the opinion that any bankruptcy law was required. He therefore moved to indefinitely post pone the subject. After some discussion it was agreed to dispose of the bill Monday. Hawley introduced a bill to prevent ! omcersoi the United btates from col lecting subscriptions or assessments from each other. Referred to the Civil Service Reform committtee. The bill is a complete omnibus bill in its enumeration of the parties em braced in the prohibition and of the methods of assessment and collection which is prohibited. No person of high or low degree, receiving compensation from the public treasury for any ser vice whatever, is permitted, under this bill, to pay to or receive from another public servant, money for political pur poses, and an infraction of this law is made a misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum fine of five thousand dollars, or a maximum imprisonment of three years, or both, at the discretion of the court After a brief executive session the Senate adjourned. House. Page, of California, chair man of the committee on commerce re ported a resolution calling on the Sec retary of War for information as to whether any moneys appropriated by the last river and harbor bill were ap propriated for on works or object that are not in interest and do not bene fit commerce and navigation, and if so the names of such works and objects and the respective amounts so appro- Eriated, whether any of the money has een used on works not in the interest of commerce and navigation, and if so names of such works, whether the ex penditures of any money authorized by that act have been withheld or stopped, and if so how much and for what cause, the amount likely to be on hand at the close of the current fiscal year, and how mucn or such balance comprises tne money which has been carried over from year to year from non-compliance with the conditions of the law making such appropriations and to furnish estimates of the- engineer department for the year 1884, which have not been transmitted by the Secretary of the Treasury in conformity with section 3,669 of the Revised Statutes. This reso lution plunged the House into a heated and exciting debate upon the River and Harbor bill, which was an exaggerated counterpart of the debate progressing in the Senate at the same time. McLane, of Maryland, and Robeson, of New Jersey, made strong speeches in favor of that bill, Robeson attribu ting the opposition to it from metro politan newspapers as being in the in terest of the aggregated capital em ployed in the railroads. Cox, of New York, and Xasson re newed their opposition to the bill and the members of the House surrounded the speakers and several times inter- rupiea mem wiin laughter ana ap plause. The House finally adopted the reso lution and after., the introduction and reference of bills to promote telegraphic communication with Europe and ap propriating ei,250,000 for the purchase of real estate in New York city for cus toms purposes, at 1:40 p m, proceeded to the consideration of the consular appropriation - bill, which was passed, and the House adjourned. - Condensed Press Dispatches The Mutual Union Telegraph Co. has filed application in New lork to bring suit against the Western Union, for watering sun;. , ...
