A GENERAL BANKRUPT LAW
The recent financial crisis, by which many
old establishments which had been supposed
to be perfectly sound were overwhelmed with
rain, has drawn the attention of the public
to the question of a general bankrupt law.
The leading business man of the eastern cities
have petitioned Congress for such a law, and
if the time before the day of adjournment per
mits, a Bankrupt Bill will probably be report
ed. We deem it scarcely possible, however,
that in the short time which remains of the
present ikseion that a carefully framed and
properly guarded law can be perfected. The
various states have upon their statute books
varying laws relative to debtor and creditor ---
Earee of them lenient—others oppressive. A
general law, regulating to some extent the
commercial relations of debtor and creditor
between the citizens of the different States,
would be of use. It seems to be the spirit of
the age, that the laws relating to the collec
tion of debts should be relaxed—that men
should place dependence in the honor of their
debtors, and not in a legal power to oppress
- them,
Agaiust a Bankrupt Law, well digested
and fair and just to all, there would be few
objections. Such a law as would establish
one geberal rule for the distribution of the as.
sets of tilos.) sib) have failed in business in
al the States, nod place all creditors on a Wa
itg of equality, would meet with public favor.
'hie law of 1841 was a very faulty one, and
was made subservient as much to the later.•
eats of knaves as honest utenl but it does not
follow that a better law cannot be framed—
one which shall felieve those who deserve relief,
and with such restrictions as shall as far as
possible prevent fraud. Oar legislators have
the experience of the former law to :Takla
them now, and if a new one is paned it
should be of such r. character no will benefit
tradv,_ manufactures and agriculture- The
oblhations of contracts are the ?Got i.e.cred
which can exist, and nothing sh.oula be done
which can give one party thereto the power
to impair such obligations without the can,
sent of the other
The recent crisis has not, however, tac
estimation of those best calculated t judge,
prostrated thebusincee of the country to any
thing like the extent whin was at oar thee
sapposed. We are rather pleased trate oth..
erwise that the prospects as that a Bankrupt
Bill will riot be acted upon during the prev.,7,, ,
session of Congress. The aubje,-21`is cue of
the gravest icripor4aliC62, : .; , country, and
when the eitec't B 'e Pe'euniary panic are still
telt, the consi(tiatien of such a measure may
IterhaP B 'Le influenced in too 1.4 great a degree
h,v/iitinediate metes rather than a continu ,
one general welfare. The Bankrupt Bill, it
considered at all, will be better considered
hereafter than now. The business of the
country is fast recovering from its late de
pression in a natural and legitimate and hon
est way, and the postponement of this ques•
lion in Congress will add to the energy and
the efforts to recuperate the fortunes of such
as have suffered, but have not entirely yields
ed -to the pressure of the times. Let the
country have another season of prosperity
before this act is passed, and it will to a
treat extent work out its own cenunercial
salvation. If such a law is necessary for the
country to provide against the recurrence of
crushing pecuniary disasters, it is better to
promulge it in good times than in bad. Let
confidence be tally restored betore such a
measure is pressed upon the people, and if it
is found necessary, as many wise men suppose
it is, let the law be a carefully framed and ju
' dicioas one, which shall remedy existing com
mercial evils and not increase them, alb the
Act of 11.1 is agreed on all bands to tieve
done.
10..eti.eval at lb.° State C,pital
Another motion was attempted this ses
sion of the Legislature to remove the seat 61
Oovernment from Harrisburg to Philadelphia.
So persistent and powerful is the influence of
Philadelphia upon the members of the Lego
islature, that we look, sooner or later, to see
the change made, deplorable as it would cer
tainly be. ':he Pennsy/t , araian, with an as,
aimed gravity we have seldom seen exceed•
ed, discusses this question of removal upon
the ground of the superior excellence and
higher intelligence of the people of Philadel
phia over any other portion of the State, and
also says, "how nice and instructive a pusttitue
would it not be to our legislators to take au
occasional stroll through the Academy of
Fine Arts, the Museum of Natural - iciences
to listen to the delicious strains of music at
the Opera, and the enchanting voices of Gaz
zaniga and La (image, and the circus, and
even the show of the fat girl and skeleton
man, or aisight of the elephant and the rhi—
noceros would be preferable to the monoto
nous, everlasting visits to the bar4rooma and
like places of e. country town."
The country members of our Legislature
visit the Opera and other places of amuse•
meat quite often enough for their health.--

proper bill, and we hope he may nip it. For
many years the laws against usury in this state
have been evaded and practically disregarded.
The herrowers and lenders of the Common
wea'th have long ago put a practical veto
upon the old law regarding usury, Sensible
people have - .tonic upon money as they do
even any oth commodity, as an article of
trade worth w ant it will bring in the market,and
regulated in its price by the demand and supply .
'lle Jew as it bee heretofore stood, has undoubt
edly resulted in compelling the borrower to pay
a higher price for money than he would have
done it the money market had been open to
fair competition, for the lender assumed an
additional risk. Besides capitalists, who did
not choose to risk an evasion of our law, have
made their investments in other States, where
the rates of interest were untrammelled, and the
risk not so great, while the security was equal
to any obtainable here. This has been a dis
advantage to the State and has greatly re-,
tarded the :development of her weattti-pro
&lcing resources.
laws' disregard. All laws while they re •
main upon the statute books should be en•
forced. This, like the small note law, and the
t liquor law, was very generally disregarded by
ill whose interest it chanced to be, to disregard
it, and thus a bad example was set to evil dis
posed persons, to break all laws which came
in collision with their interests or restrained
their passions.
In other States the light to make the rate of
interest upon money a matter of contract be.
tween parties has been found to work satisfac
torily and well. Why should it not do so in
Pennsylvania ? There can be no doubt that
it would, and doing away with the penalties of
usury will be of benefit. It is as follows :
Sue. 1. Be it enacted, &c., That the lawful rate
of interest for the loan cr use of money in all
cases where no express contract shall have been
been made for.a less rate, shall be six per emit.

which it is hoped to ensure greater efficiency
and economy in the working of the road and
the general management of its affairs. In or

more general supervision over the working of
the road, the Board have created an office of

chase of supplies for the use of the road. Mr.
Messier, whose duties in supervising and audit

which England, in the very teeth of the lan,
gauge of the treaty, sought to maintain her as..

treaty itself any retrospective effect, and
leaving her in possession of all the dominion
