THE BANKRUPT QUESTION HIGHLY
IMPORTANT ACTION OP THE SENATE.;
VVashinton, May 1.
The Senate consumed most of the
day in discussing the bill repealing
the bankrupt law and the amend;
ments already indicated in my dis
patches last night. -An amendment
offered by Mr. Matthews, thai., thei
repeal shall not go into effe&u until
January 1, 1879, was agrgjo I
ayes, 25; noes, 21. ;. . . !
" Christiancy'a amendment was
then adopted ayes, 29; noes, 23.
The following is the text of thia
amendment: "And all rights and
proceedings incident thereto or grow
ing out of or dependent thereon, in
cluding all., rights . of .debtors and
creditors, and all rights of, aud . suits
by and against, assignees, under any
and all of said acts, in any . case here
tofore or now gending."
I asked a Kentucky, a Virginia and
a Pennsylvania member of the House
to night whether the House will Con
cur in the Senate's amendments, and
theyThought it would; but then the
House, by an overwhelming; majority,
rejected McMahon's substitute the
other day extending the time for even
voluntary bankruptcy to January 1st;
andThls would seem to indicate a
disagreement and a committee of con
ference. . f
. Senator Ransom's appeal in behalf
of Matthews' amendment was the
best speech made during the debate
to-day. . ,.-' " , . ;
THE TOBACCO QUESTION THE TARIFF.
It has been determined to move a
suspension of the rules next Monday
so as to test the sense of the House in
regard to the reduction of the to
bacco lax. It has not, however, been
yet determined whether tobacco will
be separated from the income S tat
and thtTsuspension of the sinking
fond or not. This is a question still
under consideration. ' : .-.. ,
The discussion of the tariff bill will
be resumed this week, and General
Banks and Mr. Tucker are the next
speakers. Mr. Robbins, of North
Carolina, has prepared . a speech in
favor of the bill. ; 'X
SOUTHERN 1 CONGRESSMEN IN NEW

Mr. Goode and others of the South
ern (Congressmen who Vent to Bos

ihemselves as highly pleased with the
treatment they received. In their
- speeches they were : perfectly frank,
and told their New Eogland friends
that while they had, given the North
the best fight in their power during
the war' their people now wanted
permanent peace and friendship, be
tween the sections. - When General
Lee was alluded to there was hearty
applause. The Boston Post, in "no
jticing 'the i speeches at the banqust of
"the Commercial ' Club, says: "Mr.
.Goode is known as one of the most
jeloquent and impassioned speakers in
jCongress, and his remarks proved
jhU reputation as well deserved. He
jfairly thrilled the company with his
i eloquence, and eat . down amid a
storm i of- applause." Senator Gor-f

- LNtfwTork8un.l : . ; ;
Judge Key showed perfect , readi-ness-io
profit by the fraud which he
admits. In an interview helaid down
this creed:-
p: "I have always believed," he said,
"that' Florida and ; Louisiana !were
counted for Hayes wrongfully, nd
that the electoral votes of both States
should properly have been counted
for Tilden. I worked strenuonsly for
Tilden, both before and after the elec
tion, and,indeed, made a speech in the
Senate daring the electoral debate,
arguing as best as I knew how that
Florida and Louisiana belonged to Til
den.. It was t after that . that Mr.
Hayes paid me the extraordinary
compliment of inviting me into his
Cabinet." I went into the Cabinet,
believing that Tilden was "elected,
and my views on that subject are not
yet changed. I believe Mr. Hayes,
however, to be an honest man. I
know that he honestly thinks that he
was fleeted, and whatever may have
been the ) frauds ' practiced in the
States above named, I have good
reasons for knowing , that Mr. Hayes
was no party to them. Therefore no
matter what may be developed in the
future, it shall not influence my ac
tion. I shall remain in the Cabinet
so long as Mr. Hayes is pleased to
have me there." "
