rendered bankrupt fur want of I- is just
giies. These evils can only he remedied
by a bankrupt law, and we think it much
better to amend the one we have, than to
abolish it with so much precipitancy.
" . 'in this State, if the bankrupt law be re
pealed, we must 1,111 back upon the odious
, and unjust law of Assignmen . , which gives
tia„,Alie dishonest man every advantage he

tern persods who may or may not be real

ven if administered honestly, for by the
practice under it, Banks and Bank en
&niters. are al ways pail fir s st; and the man
who has furnished the assignor with any
thing else than money, must stand back
until the,broker anti banker are satisfied;
and the eases of those whose claims are
small are .never thought of and n-ver reach.
ed. Besides this, to repeal the bankrupt
act, now, would be to give a fresh impe.
tus to the credit system, which has receiv •
a salutary check, aui which, ove believe,
oughsto be still further restricted.
Fur. our own part, therefore, we think
that bad tho' the bankrupt law may be, it
is,far preferab'e to . our State insolvent law.;
—and we do hope that the Pi esiclent msy
save courage and firmness enough to veto'
the bill repealing the act, and to suggest
reforms in the present law ad ma y
make it tolerable to the most determined of
its opponents. Let corporations be made ' I
enbjett to its provisions. The objection of
the ultra State Rights men that this would ,
be giving the Federal Government ton
much control over State institutions we re
gird aut.utterly invalid, and as carrying the
Watchful jealousy of State rights which we
al,,vays hope to see cherished, to an ex.
trrivagrist length. The control of a bank
nerptlaw over the banks would always be
salutary, and for the public good. We do
riprsee bow it could operate on them in
gray other way.

in aSuphomorical style, to be sure, but
with praises before unexampled; delin3a
lied the character and services of Genoral
Jackson in a tone almost exceptionable to
the public for its servility and indelicate
commendation—even to the very act in
question. He leaps his rewards: first, as
!a deserter to long cherished opinions; se

tighteous judgement; and a lesson, through
all time,to the abusers of public feeling and
;the voice of the country.
Flour luipeclion
Our neighbor of the "Sun," slated yes
terday that he aas informed by hie Har
risburg correspondent that the legislature
contemplated "changing the laws regula—
ting the inspection of Hour, and appointing
au Inspeetot of Flour for this city and
Allegheny. We don't know what public
opinion says about this, but we favor the
proposed change."
The editor does not appear to be aware
drat there is an Inspector appointed anal
commissioned, but from the imperfection
of the law, he has no power to compel the
inspection of fl tar, and o' course the of
fice is worthless to him, and the citizen s
have no protection from the impositions
that are so easily practiced in the article
of ft Air. During the last session a large
portion of our citizens among whom were
all the principal flour dealers of our city,
made an tiff r! to have this law amended
but in the press of other business it was
passed over. But we find the matter is
again brought up at:d we 11.1pe our• mem
bets will do all in their power to have th!
much desired ref , rrn effected before they
adjourn.
"IA! the Poor Indians.''—The Little
Rock Gazette of the 14th, mentions that
among the passengers who went up from
that city, was Capt. Wm. Armstrong, Su
perintendant. of Indian Affairs, who was
carrying up with him SISO 000 in specie,
which is to be paid out to the Indians on
our western frontier. It was a beautiful
sikht, says the editor, to see the kegs ar
ranged in double files almost the whole
length of the Fpacious cabin of the boat.
and no doubt many a luckless wight wish
ed himself an Indian, that he might have a
chance to firger a potion of their precious
contents.
dnother Duel in the Navy.—The
Phil
adeiphia Enquirer has seen a letter dated
Genoa, November 30th, in which it is eta
; ted that Midshipman Beets arid Cook,
bo.h of Philadelphia, recently fought a
duel at twelve puce with pistols, and
Beers received Cook's hall in his
The wound will not e fatal, and the
patient was doing well. The quarrel
originated during the reception on boat d
the Columbus, of the Queen of Sardine—
both the yo•mg gentlemen being attached
to that ship. The patties have been sus.
pended by the Commander, and it is said
will be sent home for trial.
:Mother Forgery.—The New York
correspondent of the Philadelphia IT, S.
Gazette stales that a I:,rgery to the extent
of $6,500, on the Manhattan Bank, has
just been discovered. It appears that Si
meon Draper, Esq., had drawn a small
cheque and paid it as an advance upon
goods left fot sale. This cheque was co..
pied, four of which were paid at the bank,
amounting to the above sum, before the
forgery was detected. The party (Mr.
'Morrell) to whom the first cheque was
paid is in cuarody, and no doubt thu prin
cipals will be detected.
The Court.ol Engairy in the ease of the

The late difficulty between. Mr. Walker
and Mr. Farr of Si. Louis, which ended in
a street fight and the death of the latter,
otiainated at a cotillion party, where W alk -
er, who was one of the managers, refused
to, ad In it Farr and the lady who accompani•
ed him. i n this refusal, the managers must
have at ted from personal motives alone, for
we find the St. Louis papers speak in the
highest terms of the reputation and stand
of the parties who were insulted. At a
meet•ng 4,f the members of the Bar, the fol..
'owing resolutions were adopted, and we
think they rare a sufficient endorsement of
, Farr's worth anti standing to procure him
admission to a Ball Room.
Resolved, That in the death of Ar. Farr,
we feel that the community has lost a man,
who in the flower of youth, and compara
tively a stranger, had already, by his aglia•
hle deportment and generous feelings, galip
ed the friendship of all who knew hi n.
Resolved, That the death of Mr. Farr
has deprived the Bar of a member who
oave every indication of future usefulness
and hrilli.mcy, and who was endeared to
his hrethren by every quality which adorn
the lawyer.
The Ledger sass that the lady wl.o ac
enmpaniel Farr, is one whose "reputation
the tongue of scandal dare not point its fin
ger at; for even the ruemies of Farr, speak
of her as a virtuous, pure and spotless maid-

prison to take his trial for inunler.
On the 17th Cincinnati was inveloped
in a fog of smoke so dense that it was im

But the matter all ended d 9 it had began

SENATE
After the miscellaneous business of the
morning hour, the Senate proceeded to the
consideration of private bills.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
As sown as the journal had been read,
there was a general rush of candidates for
the Speaker's eye.' But as by the laws
of the House., he can re:iognize but one : t
a tim-i each mernhet ha .1 to wait his turn.
Petitions on almost every s &jeer, were
presented and refered. Sonte were for
regulating the eurrency,others asking Con -
gress to make haste and pass the bankrupt
repeAl law, while not a lew insinuated that
such an action would prove the ruin of the
country.
Mr. Fillimore wanted the House to go
into a committee of the whole, for the pur
pose of resuming the consideration of the
army bill, bet the House wouldn't.
Mr. Winthrop, from the committe on
commerce,to whom had been veered a me

States of the Union, made a report in favor
of the prayer of the memorial, accompani
ed by resolutions •
Mr. Rayner made a minority report, al

that the committee be discharged from all
further consideration of the memorial
Mr. Kennedy of Md.. will is chairmen
of the committee,does not agree with either
repot t,but says he will make a report of his
own in few days. The reports and reso
lutions were ordered to be printed.
When the subject comes up we shall
have a warm debate.
The remainder of the day was devoted
to the consideration of bills on the private
caleu('ar• '
List evening after :Mr. Marshall had
concluded, Mr. Proffit withdrew his mo—
tion to reconsider the vote on the passage
of the bankrupt repeal bill. So far as the
House is concerned the passage of the hill
is final.
By a Statement fro n the Treasury De
partment, in answer to a resolution, it ap
' pears that complete returns of tha amount
'of revenue received during the 4th quarter
of 1842, have not came to hand. It '31)3
pears, however, from the reports sent in,
that the.cash duties amount to $3,116,370.
Duties received on bun& $1,436,565—t0'
' tal 84,552,935. And that the nett sum re
' ceived into the treasury' after deducting
'expenses is $3,950,000' As it respects
the sales of the public lands, it appears
that the sure actually received from the
lands sold in the last quarter of 1842 is, so
far as returns have bern received,s2s4,sl3.
' The estimated amount from sales fot which
returns have riot been received is $llO,
