The Proposed Bankruptcy BilL
In the Eustcrn cities, more than in the
West, the late extraordinary financil crisis
bag called public attention to the question of
a general Bankrupt Law. and the most just,
equitable and fair basis upon which such a
bill could be framed. In the Senate of the
United States, Messrs, Toombs and Benjamin
have proposed a bill which, as the gentlemen
are members of the Judiciary Committee, is
entitled to consideration, and - in order that
our readers may understand the measure of
relief which these gentlemen propose for the
relief of those who have been unfortunate in
their pecuniary affairs, we give a condensa

A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT-
The last number of the ' Mountaineer"
contains a communicatiou feigned Allegheny,
which the Editor is graciously plowed to j
inform us, is from an old and reliable Demo- j
crat. It contains a number of startling dis- '
closures which it is meet the Democracy of
of Cambria should forthwith know, and we
therefore proceed to lay them before our rea
ders in as condensed a manner as possible.
The first disclosure "is that certain men wish
to run as delegates to our next County Con
vention, "who are tainted with Black Repub
licanism " We more than half sutpected
this, even beforo the appearance of Mr. Al
Ugheny's Proclamation. There can be no
doubt that the Anti-Lccompton Democrats
who a faw months ago united vith the Kdott
Nothings and Bl&ck Republicans, for the pur
pose of breaking up and disorganizing the
Democratic party, will take an active part in
oar delegate elections, and endeavor to con
trol the next Democratic County Conven
tion. The men who oulv a few weeks azo
joined Horace Grcely, Stcator Hale aad
Fred Douglas in denunciations of Mr. Bu
chanan and the policy of his administration,
are now setting theaisolvrs up as the guar
dians of the party in this county We agree
with Mr. Allegheny that men tainted with
Black Republicanism thnuld not be trusted
as delegates. But if Anti-Lecomtitonites arc
elected as delegates, they will doubtless bo
permitted to take their seats in the Con
vention. The evil which he apprehends
must be prevented if prevented al all, by
the people, at tba Primary Elections. Mr.
Allegheny then ' proceeds to lay dewn the
following maxim of eternal truth for the
future guidanco of the Dcmo-cratic party :
"No man should be nominated for office!
who is never foc-u in our public meet
ings unlets he is a candidate " Doubtless he
is right in this. The honest, consistent, and
unassuming Democrat who labors for the suo
cess of the party faithfully, but with as little
noise and ostentation as possible, has no right
to ask for an office. The - offices belong to
the brawling demagogues who attend public
meetings, and embrace every opportunity fcr
making a speech, "full of sound and fury,
Minifying nothing." We have an abun
dant supply of -such immaculate patriots ia
our county. They were loud in prais of the
patriotism, democracy and statesmanship of
James Buchanan in 1556, and their facts
were seen in a number of public meetings
called for the purpose of promoting bis elec
tion. It is true in less than & year after bis
inauguration they joined the Black Republi
cans in denouncing him as a stcindler, guilty
of attempting to force a fraud on the people
. of Kansas. But of course that amounts to
nothing. They always attend public meet
ings, and consequently are entitled to absolute
control over the loaves and fishes.
Wc wonder who this Mr. Allegheny really
is? He is certainly a very great man, a
consistent Democrat and pure patriot. Will
he not be kind, enough to furnish us with
his real name ? He is doubtlees a dignified
. individual, who has waded but little in the
dirty pool of politics, and whose mind is not
"haunted by dark vition nf broken hopes
and honors lost forever" He would certaiu
ly make an exotllent candidate for Assembly
next fail, for bis communication shows that
be is not only a reliable Democrat, but is also
a man of might and'power. We sincerely hope
he will at ouee perceive the folly of hiding
bis ligbt under a bushel. Will he furnish
us with his real cognomen, or 13 he determi
ned to be a second Junius, of whom it will
hereafter be said: "he stands the shadow of
mighty name ?"
The Harmoniou s Opposlti m.
The Know Nothings aud Black Republicans
of Blair county, have finally "agreed to disagree.-'
Finding that it wan impossible to
unite on - a common platform, each party
has nominated a ticket. The Know Nothing
Convention convened at the Court House, in
llollidaysburg, on the 20th of May. and pla
ced in nomination the fallowing ticket:' As
sembly, Jacob Burly; Sheriff", James Funk,
can vessels by British cruisers have excited
a universal feeling cf indignation in-this
country. Unlets the British Government
tepudiatee promptly the system which seems
to have bceu adopted by its vessels in the
Gulf of Mexico, an open rupture between the
two countries may be looked for at no distant
day. War is cartainly a great calamity, but
our national honor must bo vindicated. The
recent insolent and unjustifiable outrages of
the British cruisers in the Gulf are of a char
acter which we cannot pass by in silence,
without descending from our exslted station
among the nations of the earth.
The only reason urged in justification of
these outrages is the over zcaloitrncts of the
British Government to cut off aud prevent
the slate trade. If, under the pretext of
preventing the importation of slaves, the
j British eruisers have the right to board and
search every American vessel they meet, no
vessel will hereafter bo cafe in leaving cur
ports under the protection of the American
flag. This attempt to revive the exploded
doctrine cf the right of search, U now styled
the riglt of visit. If aur commerce is to be
under the supervision aud control of Great
Britain, wc may as well at once yield up our
national existence, and become nucc n ore
provinces of tho "Empire on which the sun
never sets."
'We find in one of our exchanges the fol
lowing extract from a difpatch which Mr.
Webster, while Secretary of State, addressed
to our Minister at the Court of St. James.
It will be perused with interest at the pris
cnt time :
The British government supposes that the
right cf visit and the right of search are es
sentially dibtinct in their nature, and that
this difference is well known and geuerally
acknowledged ; ibat the difference between j

torn to observe the anniversary of our Inde
pendence as a Nation, as a great National
Holiday. It in a commendable custom, be
cause it tends to keep alive in the breasts of
the prople, the spirit of pure and lofty patri
otism, and to remind them of the many sac
rifices which their ancestors mado to purchase
for them the precious boon of freedom. At
tho ficscnt time when fanaticism on the one
pile and treason on the other.are endeavoring
to weaken the league of love which holds the
Union together, it is essentially nece'essary
that wc should carefully foster the true spirit
of nationality, which knows no North, no
South under the Constitution. We hope the
celebratiou in this place, will be largely at
tended, as no effort we arc confident will be
spared to interest and amuse all present. By
the way, it may not be out of placo, to state,
that the -llh of J uly this year, falls on Sun
day, and that the celebration will take place
on Saturday the 3rd.
The Right of Search Highly Important
the United StateB Senate, yesterday,
the Committee on Foreign Relations made a
highly iuipurtant Report, which closes with
tl)ei-o biguilicant resolutions:
Ueeo.ved, That American vessels at sea,
under the Hag, remain uuder thejurisdictiou

therefore that any visitation or UioktUtioa is

i states.

lawful coin -
the vesfel; the other, the scaich, by an in
quisition, not onlv into tho nationality of the
vessel, but the nature and object of br voy
age, and the true ownerbhip of her cargo.
The Government f the United States, on
the other hand, maintains that there is no
such well-known and acknowledged, nor, in
deed, sny broad and generic difference be
tween what has usually been called visit, and
what has usually been called uarch ; that tHe
right of Tiait to be effectual, must come in the
end to include search ! aud thus to exercise
in peac an authority which tho law of na
tions only allows iu '.ime of war. If such
well-known distinction exitts, where are the
proof? of it? What writer of authority on
public law, what adjudications in courts of
admiralty, what public treaties rccoguizo it?
No eucu recognition na& presented itself to
the eoverdmeot of the Unted States; but on
the contrary it understands that public wri- j
ters, courts of law aud solemn treaties have,
for two centuries, used the word "visit" and
"search" in the same sense. What Great
Britaiu and tho United States mean by 'right
of search,' in its broadest sense, is called by
Continental writers and J urists by no other
name than the "right of visit." Visit, there
fore, as it has bceu understood, implies, not
only the right to iuquire into the national
character, but to detain the vessel, to stop
the progress of the voyage, to examine paters,
to decide ou their regularity and authentici
ty, and to make inquisition on board for en
emy's property, and into the business which
the vessel is engaged in. In other words, it
describes the entire right of belligerent visi
tation and search. Such a right is justly
disdained by tbo British Government in time
of peace. They nevertheless, insist on a
r'ht which they denominate a right of visit,
and by that word describe tho claim which
they asset t. It is proper and due to the im
portance and delicacy ox the questions invol
ved, to take care that, in discussiug them,
both governments understand the terms which
may be used in the same sense. If, iudeed, j
it should be manifest that the difference be
tween the parties is only verbal, it might be
hoped that no harm would be dona ; but the
Government of the United States thinks it
sell not justlv chargeable with excessive jeal
ousy, or with too great scrupulosity in the
use of words, in insisting on its opiuion that
1UEUK IS NO SUCH DISTINCTION AS THE BlUT-
isu Government maintains between tis.it
AND 6EAIICII : AND THAT THERE 13 NO RIGHT TO
visit in time of peace, except in the execu
tion of revenue laws or other municipal regu
lations, in which cases the rtcbt is usually
exercised near the coast, or withy- the ma
rine league, or where the vessel is justly sua
pectcd of violating the law of nations by 'pi
ratical aggression; but wherever exercised, it
is a right of tearch, ;
On the whole, the Government of the Uni
ted States, while it has not conceded a mu
tual right of visit or search, as has been done
by the parties to the Quintuple treaty of De
cember, 1841 does not admit that, bj the
laio and practice of nations, there is any such
thing as a rigid of visit, . distinguished by
veil knoun rvlt and definitions from the
right of search. It does not admit that visit
oi American merchant vessels by British
cruisers is.-founded on any righ, notwith
standing the cruiser may suppose such vessel
to be British, Araziliau or Portugese. We
cannot but see that the detention- and exami
nation of American vessels by British crui
sers has already led to consequences, and fear
that, it continued, it would still lead to fur
ther consequences, highly injurious to tho
lawtul commerce of the United States.
XSr Lrtol: beautiful the woods and field.. '
meicc, have been iited into, stopped and in
terrogated, as to the cargo, destination, crew,
&c. No less than fifteen American ships iu
the harbor of Sagua la Grand, and six on
high seas have been officially reported, each
avriTal bringing additional facts of the aggres
sioos of the same power ob our flaff. It has
hithetto happened that in isolated casesvhere
similar aggressions have occurred through
misconception, the United States 1ub been
contented to accept a disclaimer of iuUut, but
the continued and persevering character of
these outrages is such ai to arouse the indig
nation cf the country, and to require the arrest
jt once aud forever the continuance of such
indignities.
The British Outrages.
The repeated aud apparently designed out
rages upon the American flag, committed by
British naval ifficefs iu the Gulf of Mexico,
Is attracting the serious consideration, not
only of Congress, but of the people. The
question of what will be result, is one of the
greatest momeut. In the army and navy, it
issaid, that those best informed anticipate a
fight. To us it Bceins scarcely probable that
j Eugland will risk a war with our government
! just at the present time. It would bo most
unfortunate for both countries, if thir friend
ly relations with each other should be distur
bed just at tht prescut time. If the reports
of British aggression upon our ships have not
bceu exaggerated, aud this does not seem
probable, us the accounts all appear to agree,
Great Britain will back out, apologise, and
give indemnity for this annoying interference
with our shippiug, on the part of her cruis
ers in the Guif. , If no iusult or injury Iras
bceu iutended on tha part of the British Gov
ernment, our just cause of complaint will be
promptly met, a id promptly these outrages
be atoned for. We believe that as soou as
theso outrageous proceedings of her ageuts iu
the Gulf shall have been properly represented
to the lintish Government, that she win at
ouce give us indemnity tor the past and se
curity for tho future. Less than this will
Lot quiet Amcricau indiguatiou and irritatiou
Less thau this the national honor of all true
Americans will never contemplate. The jeal
ous spirit of watchfulness over our national
honor and of resenttulncss against every af
front put upon our flag, which has promptly
called forth the measures on the part of our
Government necessary to assert aud defend
our rights and protect our ships from insult,
interference and outrage, will meet the ap
probation of every American. Whatever
may have been the cause of these outrages
upou our nag, and whether the British Jlin
istry own or disown the acts committed, the
prompt preparation to meet aggression and
resent injury is our duty. We think and
hope the preparations for war may answer the
purpose of securing from Great Britaiu an
acknowledgement of the wrongs we have suff
ered aud reparation therefor. The piospen
ty of the two countries is too intimately con
nected to permit cause of war to exist, -Com

General Bankrupt Act. Senator Toombs
proposition will, however, draw public atten
tion to the subject, and induce discussion as
to the kind of a plau to be adopted, and thus
pave the way for action hereafter. The Bill
proposed consists of twenty-three sections:
By Sectiou 1, bankrupts are divided into
two classes the voluntary and iuvoluntary :
the former consisting of persons generally
who are unable to pay their debts, and who
choose to avail themselves. of the provision of
the act ; the latter of individuals in trade,
who by some fraudulent proceeding, evince
a disposition to wrong- their creditors, or
some of them. In compulsory cases the bank
rupt may have a jury trial.
Section 2 provides against payments and
transfers made in contemplation of bankrupt
cy. Section 3 declares that by the decree of
bankruptcy the title of the bankrupt to bis
property is divested, and becomes vested in
the assignee But necestary boufWbld ef
feets, cot exceeding three hundred dollars,
arc to be exempt, together with whattver
property is exempt from execution by the laws
of the State.
Section 4 grants a release to bankrupts who
fully comply with the requirements of the
act ninety days after the decree, and after
seventy days advertisements in a public news
paper, unless ono-fourth iu value of the cred
itors file their written dissent, it iubo pro

It commenced raining yesterday morning
at about 10 o'clock, and continued throughout
the day, with slight intervals to pour down
quite lively. Some of the showers were quite
heavy, and accompanied with thundegod
lightning, But not until after midnight did
the full force of the storm eppear to gather
for one tremendous outpouring of the waters
then did it seem that the windows of Heav
en were really open, and the floods wsrc about
to descend as in olden time. The storm-kiog
rode triumphant on his chariot cf winds,
scattering in his path destruction, terror and
dismay. The rain poured down without ces
sation until about 10 o'clock. The oldest
inhabitants aver that they never knew it to
rain harder nor did they ever hear such tre
mendous peals of thunder.
The damage to railroads, canals, etc.. ha3
been immense, and travel generally baa been
suspended, there being neither arrival or de
parture by railroad for the last eight or ten
hours. Our reporters have endeavored to
gather together the facts, as far as possible,
in relation to the injury sustained, and below
we give the result of their labors:
BREAKING OF THE WHITEWATER CANAL.
The aqueduct opposite the Mill Creek
bridge, near the mouth of the creek, gave
way some time duricg the night, and the wa
ters this moruing were pouring from both
directions into the creek below. It is sup
posjd that the water of the creek washed
away the stanchions and uprights under the
aqueduct, thus letting the wood-work down,
which has floated down aguinst the frame work
of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, causing
some of the uprights to give way, and giving
rise to the fear that the cutirc tresscl- work at
that poiut will give way.
1NJCRT TO TUE OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI RAILROAD.
The canal has also given way directly this
side of Delhi, and the watcrB being forced
against the Ohio aLd Mississippi Railroad em
bankment below, has caused the washing
away of about 75 feet .hereof, leaving the
track bending like a bow ovr the chasm.
A little further down, and near to Sedams
ville, about 500 feet of the embankment has
been washed away, caused by a break in the
cauals. The rails are twisted about in every
direction, aud the track is a complete wreck
The waters must have been of immense vol
ume to cause tha utter destruction here no
ticeable. Itwii! 'just thousands of dollars'io re
pair these two breaks aloue, aud that there
are others further down there is every reason
to believe.
The last train from St. Louis arrived at
Sedamsville this raorniug at about 4 o'clock-. ;

Ordinarily, Corn planting is finished at this
date, though in 'some years, plantiug has
been douc to some extent about tho nrst ot
June, but when planted so late, a late and
favorablo season is required to mature it.
Should the weather become dry now, aud
remain so throughout the remaiuder of the
Knonth, no feais need be entertained that a
sutEeient quautity will not be planted to mane
a largo crop ; but the indications up to last
eveuiug did not indicate this. This weather
is also untavorable tor heat, making it grow
too luxuriant, aud therefore liable to 'lodge'
and to injury by 'rust.' Rye is already in
head, and looks promising. Urass is very
luxuriant and the yield of Hay must be enor
mous.
As a general thing, with the exception of
Corn, the prospects of a most abundant nar
vest are, bo far, highly tavorablc. inn sup-
cly of all kinds of agricultural produce prom
ises to be abundant; aud should the weather
become dry now, which, to say the least, it
is not unreasonable to expect, the Corn crop
will not be au exceptiou.
The I'ruit, chiefly Peaches and Cherries,
have been injured by frosts in some localities
but on the whole, takiug the couutry togeth

1NJUKY TO THE CITY,
Considerable damage was done iu the city
bv overflow. The water rushed iu torrents
down the bill-sides in the northern and east
ern roads, choking up the sewers constructed
for 11s carriage, and in many places overflow-
ng the curbs and rushing into cellars. In
many places the rush of water was f-arful.
In the Amth Ward, a rushing torrent came
down Sjcaiuore street, from Mouut Auburn
and Jackson Hill The sewer at Abigail and
Sycamore streets proved scarcely adequate
for the occasion, and persons residing in that
vicinity had to prevent an overflow into their
cellars by embankments.

The Canadian line of ocean steamers can
not now be said to have any competitor but

become bankrupt, was sold by the Sheriff and
withdrawn from the ocean, The Bremen
line falls so far behind the CanadianHine, in
