JStatlffltd Reporter. Towanda, Thursday, June 8,1865. BANKRUPT LAWS. In a late issue we intimated our satis faction at the failure of the bill before the last Congress, creating a bankrupt law, and also gave warning of the intended re newal of the effort at the next Congress to fasten upon the country a measure of this kind. We now propose further to examine the question, and to urge objections, be lieving a general bankrupt law to be un called for, and unfair, as the country is at present situated, and opposed to the in stincts, and wishes of our people. Owing, perhaps to the fact that England, France, and the commercial cities and states of Germany, has each its bankrupt law, a measure of this kind has always been fa vored in our large cities, it having origina ted with, and being designed to promote the interests of the merchants exclusively, and to this class of business men it is con fined in most countries. Up to the year 1800, the English bankrupt law was applica ble to no other debtors except merchants ; and in that year our Congress enacted a law modeled after the English, except that it was to last only for five years, and there fore not permanent. In France the bank rupt law is part of the mercantile law ; ! and in most of the countries of Europe ! these laws have been salutary in their ten j dencies. If permanent, and instituted only as a commercial regulation, it is barely possible, one might be so here ; but a law i of this character, intended for general ap i plication to all classes of debtors, must, unquestionably, be unjust in its operations, for human ingenuity cannot so guard its : provisions, as to avoid heavy frauds under ■ it. Contracts for the payment of money are : by far the most numerous in our civil com i niunities, and their enforcement has always been held as one of the most binding du ties, as well because of its intrinsic justice, as because of its necessity, for the very preservation of society depends upon it ; and any thing which tends to weaken the ! sacredness of the claim of the creditor upon the debtor, or favors evasion, has always been looked upon with distrust by our peo ple. While this is the prevailing senti ment, there is this other and graver fact, to screen our people from the charge of in humanity towards the merchant debtor, that the States have authority under the Constitution, and have made provision for all cases of insolvency by the creation of insolvent laws, to which all debtors can ap peal. For it is held in our rural districts— the population of which are as seven to one of the cities —that the unfortunate merchant has no more right to special screening from the fulfillment of his con tracts for the payment of money, than the artizan, mechanic, or the laborer in gener al. Indeed, it is held by many, and justly too, that as the latter create almost all the advantages which civilized communities enjoy, over barbarous states, they are more entitled to special favors from the law-ma kers, than any other class ; and that so long as they are satisfied with the insol vent laws, merchants, traders, and specu lators in general, ought to be. And to this important consideration, that such a law would be especially important now, from the immense indebtedness of the secession states when they rebelled, to the northern cities. This debt was estimated at eight hundred millions, full one-third of our national debt, and this the rebels pro claimed their intention of cheating our peo ple out of. When the government is re stored, it has been thought much of this in debtedness may be secured ; but pass a bankrupt law, and all will be lost, and the swindle of the rebel merchants is realized. Would this be right ? If for no other pur pose than to prevent the rebel scoundrels frpm consummating this fraud upon the nor thern cities, we oppose the bankrupt law scheme. It will be a cover to unheard of rascality throughout the secession States. The Indian laughed when he saw an iron lock on a pair of leather saddle-bags, and the men who swear allegiance to the gov ernment with mental reservations, would be equally amused with a law which al lowed them to swear themselves out of debt. Besides, bankrupt laws have never been thought of only in times of great com mercial distress, and there is nothing of this kind now in the country. On the con trary, the country has never before been so prosperous. Three-fourths of the money of the free states which has bought up the national loans, has been made within the last three years ; and what a time to talk of a bankrupt law. Almost every man who will can pay his debts. tt& President Johnson's new Proclama tion of Amnesty, which we publish in an other column will probably enable about half those who have been Rebels, but no wise conspicuous in the Rebellion to take the prescribed oath of amnesty and be come again recognized citizens of the Unit ed states, entitled to vote in all future elec tions. The other half, including all who have been Generals in the Armies, or Em bassadors, Congressmen, Judges, Gover nors, &c., th, and continuing as usual, four days. The premium list about to be issued is said ; to be the inost liberal ever prepared by j this society, which has been heretofore | liberal to a fault in this respect. The citizens of Columbia county have the oil fever very extensively. Lea ses along Green Cheek, some 18 or 20 miles from Bloomshurg, command fabulous pri ces, and companies are organizing in every , neighborhood. We are informed that not only oil, but salt, copper and the best shot ore have been found. TTGT IT has been decided that the corner stone of the National Monument at Gettys burg will be laid on the 4th of July next. President Johnson is to perform the cere monies. Doubtless most of the local cele brations will be dispensed with on this oc casion to allow all who can to participate in the exercises at Gettysburg. FliOM WASHING TON. WASHINGTON, .Tune 2, 1865. No one man could have seen all there was to be seen at the great review at Washington, on the 23d and 24th ult. No one man could have noticed all that he did see with sufficient particularity to give an intelligent description of what he saw. No two men standing together, and seeing the same thing, or things, would look at them alike or describe them in the same way. Hence, Mr. Editor, I intend to state to your readers some of the things that I saw and heard, trusting that 1 shall not trench upon your prerog ative as tire editor, who was ou the ground and prepared to give a far more graphic description than I can. I will omit all personal matters and references, and not trouble the readers with telling them how I could not find a place on the floors of the hotels to sleep, nor how I paid three dollars a night for a bed as hard a floor, nor how it took me three hours to get my breakfast, all these details will he of no interest to theni. The first thing that attracted my attention after the several officers had taken their places oil the stand to review the troops as they passed, was a horse and his rider dashing with fearful velocity up the avenue, the horse was a powerful animal and was evidently haclly frightened, he was foam ing and plunging and jumping as though determin ed to unhorse his rider, who was swordless and hatless, with one foot out of the stirrup and doing his utmost to sustain his position upon the saddle and check the speed of his charger, he was a small man, with light yellow hair that hung in long curls upon his shoulders, in ordinary times, but now it was streaming in the wind. All were excited and few knew who it was. I expected every second to see him and his horse dashed to pieces. Soon how ever, three cheers relit the air for General CVSTEII, the celebrated cavalry officer, whose legions had sent trembling among the reliels so many times. Soon he succeeded in .stopping his horse, lie rode back, got his hat and sword, and placed himsclt at the head of his column where he was received with loud cheers by his brave rough riders, and rode proudly up to, and past the stand upon which were seated Generals GIUNT, SHERMAN, MEADE, LOGAN, and several other high military dignitaries, the President and his Cabinet, except Secretany NEW AE-D, the foreign ministers, and several private cit izens of note. After CusrEii and liis staff, caine the cavalry of the Army of the l'otomae riding twelve abreast with each division and brigade and regiment head ed by its respective commanders. After the cav alry came the artillery thundering along with their big guns and five-wheeled cassions. The indenti , cal guns that sent death in to the ranks of J. DAVIS & Co., and by their forcible knock-down argu ; ments brought about peace much quicker than 1 would the trainers of the Chicago Platform. Fre ' quent shouts and hurrahs would be started away ; back in the immense throng and appear to run along the avenue until ten thousand voices were I cheering the noble, brave men, and the constant waving of handkerchiefs and lints kept the horses of t'-e officers on the nettle, notnnfrequently mak ' ing them unmanageable. As the rumbling of the heavy artillery died away, the commander of the infantry brought up the leg ions belonging to that arm of our forces, and for three long hours did those sturdy sun-embrowned j warriors march proudly past the stand where sat ; their beloved leader to watch their every step, each field officer saluted those seated upon the stand and was saluted in return. At about three p. in. the last company had been ' reviewed and the officers left the stand. As Gen eral CHANT came down to,take his carriage, the soldiers standing along the walks together with 1 the citizens made a rash toward him with a deter in illation to get hold of his hand at least, and il 1 possible to bear him off upon their shoulders. It was feared at one time that he would be crashed to death by the crowd, but by dint of perseverance .... on the part of the guard and the determination of the general he succeeded in reaching the carriage and was rapidly driven from the ground. On Wednesday, the 24tli. I took my stand on the curb stone near the Capitol, intending, if possible, to see all of SHERMAN'S army as it passed. I had seen the officers the day previous, now I desired to see the soldiers and converse with them if an op portunity should occur, so with a good field glass I planted myself by a tree where I could stand up on the stones and see the whole line front the Cap itol to the Treasury building, the distance of about a mile. At precisely nine a. m. the signal gun was i fired and before the sound reached llie crowd by j the stands in front of the white house, Generals , SHERMAN and HOWARD, each accompanied by his staff, wheeled into Pennsylvania Avenue and rode slowly along past the crowds upon each side, while the hurrahs literally rent the air. All were mount ed upon the same horses that had borne them so ; faithfully from Atlanta to Goldsboro. These war steeds seemed to enjoy the scene and the circnni j stances, they pranced as proudly as though they | knew that they were kings, and yet as gently as though they were aware that they were bearing up j on their baeks the idols of a nation. The Generals and their staff looked bronzed and ; hardened by exposure and labor, still they appear- j | ed happy, happy for themselves and their country. | About twenty rods behind the officers followed the ! soldiers, first the pioneer company,generally about half blacks, with their picks, axes, and shovels, j then came the infantry twenty abreast in one con tinuous column for about an hour, after which the j jack and packed mules appeared, these created great cheering. Each mule was led by a negro, ' and in each company there were probably from ! twenty to forty loaded with the camp furniture and | blankets, haversacks, shovels, axes, hoes, bunches i of hay, oats, blacksmith tools, in fact everything in the way of baggage that the army wanted, or had at least, on top of the loading were fowls,cats, j dogs, racoons, and even goats, behind this coui i pany, in some cases, there was a cow led by a ! black boy. These were followed by the rumbling i artillery three abreast, ! For six hours did this tide of officers, soldiers, horses, mules, ambulances, cannons, caissons,flow j i ou through Pennsylvania Avenue to the Treasury j | Department, thence past the stand where the mil- | itary and civil officers were seated to review theiu. j Each brigade was headed by a hand of musicians, or a company of drummers and fifes,who discours- j ed from their varied instruments either sweet, or i j soul stirring music. The officers nnd privates in ! I SHERMAN'S army are as a general thing larger men I ; than of MEADE'S army, and fewer boys among j them. They marched with such exactness and J ' precision that the tramp of all that could be heard ! I at one standing place, sounded like the coming j down to the ground of one immensely lurge foot, j a blind man could not have told that there was ! ■ more than one man, so well did they keep time. I ! I had conversation with several of the privates and i a few of the officers, from whom I gained much in- ! terestiug information relative to their march thro' the enemies country. All appeared rejoiced at the prospect of going home, and to all Major-General SHERMAN was an idol. They would tight with him i or for him, as long as he led they would go any- 1 where when he ordered it, would endure anything when he was with them. It is useless for me to make guesses as to the number of persons at the review, all that has been j published about the number of spectators is mere 1 guessing. The number of troops reviewed was ■ probably not far from 150,000. An officer in SHEII- ! MAN'S army told me that they marched out of camp on the morning of the 24th 80,000 strong. MEADE'S army was supposed to be some eight or ten thou sands less. The officers upon the stuml both civil and mili tary seemed to a spectator to be as happy as they could well be. General GRANT had his two little boys with him with whom he frequently played and chatted. Still his undivided attention for the most part was directed to the passing troops. It seem ed as though he saw every man, and noticed his arms, and dress and step, us he marohed by feel ing proud that the eye of lis chief wis upon liiiii. Yet the General did not appear to know that h* was the man that attracted all eyes, that soldiers and citizens were glad to be there mostly because he was to be present. It was indeed a proud day for the < >Hirers and soldiers of these grand armies of the Union, a day that will hud a place in history in all coming time. On the afternoon of Tuesday I visited FOKD'S Theatre, to see, if possible, the exact spot where the assassin BOOTH shot the President. I found a guard stationed at the front door, who, with mus ket in hand, forbade my entering the hall. He was not only civil but gentlemanly, stating that he was stationed there by the Secretary of War, with strict orders to allow no one to enter the building without a pass from him. By following the direc tion of this guard I fi mud the back d< >or through which BOOTH escaped, the lane along which he rode after the murder, the stable in which he kept his horse, and the work-bench upon which his man "Peanuts," as he was nicknamed, laid while hold ing the horse for BOOTH, when he should have ac complished his bloody work. Here too, at the back door was a guard pacing with slow and meas ured tread along the lane and in front of the door, he gave me all the information he could, and al lowed me to get as good a view of the gangway along which BOOTH ran, as he dare, without dis obeying positive orders. The appearance of the whole arrangements upon the baek part of the building clearly indicate that, so far iis the conspirators were concerned, they had been weeks in preparing for the commission of the horrid crime. The lane was constantly crowded with visitors, all anxious to know all about the whole affair. The guards answered all questions with perfect kindness and good humor, notwithstanding the same questions were repeated to them hundreds of times each day. Directly opposite the theatre is the house into which Mr. LINCOLN was carried from the theatre, and in which he died. I did not desire to go into the house, which was closed, at least in front, but, I was told bv the guard at the theatre, that the family charged fifty cents for allowing persons to see the room where the President expired. If this be so, it is a disgrace to the parties, whoever they may he. No doubt the family is constantly an noyed I>v calls of persons who desire to see the room, hut if they do not wish to be thus annoyed, let them keep the house closed and refuse admit tance, or throw the room open during certain hours each day for all to enter who desire. This making money out of the anxiety of the people to see the place where the great and good man died, is n< it only ridiculous, hut perfectly outrageous. After seeing all that could be seen at the theatre, I strolled along down Fourth and a half street till I came to the arsenal in which are confined the conspirators, and where they are being tried. The building looks to be sufficiently strong to keep them safely, but it is surrounded with guards, and guards mounted on the outer walls, so that escape is impossible. 1 regretted that the court was not in session, still I imagined that I could see the Court, and Judge HOLT and his assistants, and his attorneys for the prisoners. There appeared be fore me too Mrs. SUBATT with her down-cast eyes and pouting li.is, SPANGLES, and PAYNE with his ministerial demeanor,and ATZEROTD, and Di\ MI DK witli his lying tongue and pergured heart.
