The Proposed New Bankrupt Law* It seems to be certain that Congress will be called upon during the present session to pass a new national bankrupt law, to be based on the repealed act ol 187 C, but with certain alterations and amendments as the same may be deemed necessary lbr full accomplishment of the desired end. The movement is said to have origina ted in Boston, where it has been scruti nized by Committees of the Shoe and Leather Association, the Bostou Mer chants' Association, and the Boston Gro cers' Association. The Board of Mana gers of the New York Produce Exchange at New York have now taken a favorable view of the measure and congressional action will undoubtedly be had this win ter. The proposed law makes very im portant improvements on the old act, some of which we gather from the New York papers. The registers are not to exceed one third or one half of the num ber of Congressional districts and they are to sit in different towns or cities in their districts just as the United States district judges do. Their compensation is to be made by fixed salaries, the fee system being abolished entirely. The same rule will also prevaail in the case of the clerks of the bankruptcy courts. Creditors in number shall be understood as excluding every creditor whose proba ble debt shall be less than fifty dollars; and when the total indebtedness of the bankrupt exceeds ten thousand dollars, every creditor whose probable debt is less than one hundred and fifty dollars shall he excluded in reckoning number, but not in reckoning value In the case of the creditors' committee of directors the chief provision of the English bankruptcy act of 1880 will be adopted. This committee may have such compensation as a majority of all the creditors in value, shall authorize. This committee will also direct and practically control the assignee or trustee. Petition for adjudication may be made by three or more creditors, the aggregate of whose debts provable under the act, amount to, at least, two hundred and fifty dol lars, or by a single creditor of not less than one tenth the debtors total iudebt <d OK-. "Acts of l. 11 r picy" will be more clearly defined than under the old law and some additional acts" included. The whole measure seems to have been well weighed and considered, and unnec essary delays of any sort would appear to have bepn provided against, Galusha A. Grow expresses the opinion taat the determined and formidable oppo sition to the resolution adopted by the Republican State Convention, instructing the Pennsylvania delegation to vote for Grant for President, puts the General out of the race, if a sincere expression of the Convention could have been obtained on the Presidency he thinks scarcely a dozen delegates would have shown up for Grant. The delegation to Chicago he be lieves to have in it a majority of anti-Grant men. The exigencies of the situation re quire the nomination of a candidate who can carry the full Republican vote, and Grant was not that man, from the fact that a large number of Republicans are stoutly against a third term, and would oppose his election for that reason. The alienation from the party of Germans would inevitably follow Grant's nomina tion, rs they fear a third term would be a stepping stone to an empire. Preliminary arrangemts have been made and preparations are under way for a new American Arctic expedition, under the directions of Dr. Emile Beseles, late chief of the scientific staff of the Polaris. The expedition, which is to he fitted out by private enterprise, will sail for the | north next year via Jones' Sound, where Dr. Bessels intends to establish a met eorological station to co-operate with those of the International Congress. At this station a yacht will be left to main | tain communications, while the principal ship of the expedition, a powerful steamer, will explore the unknown re gions to the northward and westward. —p HI A L LIST.— February Term, 1880 HKCOND WKKK.
