WEDNESDAY. MARCH 13, 1807.
We have three or four hundred blank
receipts for subscription which we should
liko to 611 out between this and the 'Inst

tiro or nioro clerks to aid us, providing
a great rush is made. Don't let this
thought intimidate any ono, however,
from ' calling, we aro "dying" to ace

Congress will adjourn as noon as the
President appoints tho military officers
for the Southern districts created by tho
reconstruction law.
Euitoiiiai, Convention. This subject
lias been mooted by many of our cotcm
porarios. We are in fayor of it, no
matter where or how soon. Anything to
regulate and in some measure check the
robbery of the press by advertising
agents.
m o
Wk publish a collection ot extracts
clipped from southern papers, on the
Reconstruction Bill lately passed, as
the best mode of commenting on its
reoeption by the Southern people. It
appears from the general tone of their
journals that they ''accept tho situation,"
although with more grumbling than
they would have dono somo sixteen
months sinoo. These journals.howevor,
in the greator part, are but representa
tives of a small, bigoted, aristocratic,
narrow-miuded class, from whom
Congress can expect nothing but curse,
and whom if behooves tlittn in no wise
to please. The bettor class of tho citi
sens of the South will move' at once, a'e
indeed, they have already in Virginia
and North Carolina, lo the formation of
their several stalo Governments. Under
tho leadership of Meade, Ilincock, Sher
man and others of the same ilk, to whom
it is rumored the War Dupaitmentlias
assigned the command of districts, they
will speedily be restored to their normal
condition m tho Union.
AVHAT A CHANGE?
Tho New York Herald paints tho fol
lowing picture:- In October, 1835, u
female anti-slavery society was riotously
broken up in Bostou by n coleclion of
conservatives described as 'gentlemen ot
property and standing, and Mr. Gar
rison, who went to the meeting to do
liver an address, aftor attempting to
conceal himself in a carpenter's chop
from tho fury of the mob ho was captured

through the streets with a ropo around
his nook. And what 1 For preaching

York, tho famou3 Dcmoeralio Empire
Club annually set apart a contingent
fund for the reception of the Aboliti
onist Phillips with a welcome of rot
ton eggs. Now, mark the change, Gar
rison U hailed as a public benefactor

Charleston. Ho is tho object of a $30,
000 dollar subscription fund; and as for
Phillips, if ho now becomes compara

NO RAILItOADBILL.
Tho Free Railroad Bill, presented to
tho Legislature somo time since by Sen
ator Bigham, by tho manipulation of
the Monopoly beoame a bill virtually to
prohibit tho building of railroads iu the
State. It merely conoodes the princi
ple of Freo Hailroads. It was passed
by the Senate on tho 0th hist., with but
lour dissenting voices, the Kopublican
merabors excusing themselves on the
plea that it was tho bot they could do.
Senator Searight dodged the question
"A poor excuse il bettor than none,'' but
how these gontlomen can evade the right
eous oensure of their constituency is
more than a mystery to us,
Since writing tho above we notice
the . passage ot the bill by the House
yeas 59 nays 33. It is to be hoped that
the Governor will veto it, Among tho
negative on this vote is tho numo ot
Mr. Phelati. Let the gentleman con
tinue in well doiug and he Bhall receive
the thanks ot all parties,

If it was Davis hiaisolf that was about
to expire we would bo constrained to

Says 1 ho Washington correspondent
of the New Yoik Tribune i Mr. Blaine
is metallic, you ran not conceive how a
shot should pierce him, for there seems
nojoint8 to his harness. He Is a man
who knows what tho weather was yes
terday morning in Dakota; what the
Emperor's policy will be touhing Mexi
co; on what day of the week the IGth of
December proximo will fall; who Is tho
Chairman ot the School Committee in
Kennebunk; what is tho best way ot
managing the National debt, together
with all the ether interests of to-day,
which anybody else would stagger under,
How he doos it, nobody knows. He is
always in his seat. He must absorb
details by assimilation at his finger ends.
As I said, he is clear metal. His features
are in ado in a mould his attitudes aro
those of a bi onzo figure his voice clinks,
and as you know, ho has ideas Cxcd as
brass.
John Moirisscy is a sod-send to tho

When they are gravelled for lack of
matter, they invariably fall back on him
for a paragraph, The Chicago Ilcpub-
lienn correspondent writos that ho 'con
tinues to behave in a veiy quiet and pro
per manner, llo sits as upright in his
seat as a statue, never turns to the right
or left, never visits other members, and
is seldom visited by others, although no
one offers him any disrespect, or omits
any proper attention. This is very well,
but tho following, from a New Yoik
correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, there can be but liltlo doubt is a
gross slander. Morrissey is understood
to havo given up faro in good faith from
tho day ho entered Congress. Yet the
Commercial man says ot them : 'On a
recent occasion he is understood to have
given his word and honor that if he
didn't skin every Congressman Ra lical
and Djinoorat out ot'thoir salaries, and
make them go bogging for their hotel
bills next Congress, tho b ys might
move, the previous question on him

also ono of the 'joys in blue.' Iliuldopp, like
Probst, and nearly every other murder, was a

The SeHimirovn Timet is the special organ of
tho Johnson Administration. What it so
atrociously proclaims, says tho Harrisburg
Telegraph, in tho paragraphs we quote, almost
every Democratic journal In the State has ro
pealodly asserted. Need any further evidence
bo required of tho truo feeling of defeated
traitors ? No 1 They hate loyal men they
hate tho soldiers who defeated tho traitors'
effort to destroy the Union, and thoy aro ever

tho party which tho Scliniynea Times repre
sents will always ho in a minority in this coun-
cry. Its day of mischief Is ovor, and liko a
ick dog, It can only froth at tho moii'h.
In tMa connection wo print tho following
paragraph from tho organ of tho Copperhead
faction in Clinton county, tho Democrat :
'The reply of 'Cavalry Sheridan' to tho citi
zens of Galveston, who asked that they might
bo allowed to pay civil honors to tho body of
Albert Sidney Johnson, was the refusal of a
living dog to honor a dead lion."
What do tho men who periled their lives in
defense of tho country think of such stuff ?
General Sheridan refined the traitors of Gal
veston to bury the traitor Johnson by making
a public display, because tho object was not
merely to do hoinago to tho bones of a soldier,
but to honor a bad causo, to keep alive In the
hearts of Ignorant panplo a fooling of treason
and hatred for tho Government. Yet, in tho
face of this fact, a Democratic journal is ready
to stigmati.o Sluridan as a dog. Are there
no sloucs In Lock Ilnvon ?
Pknitentiaiiiks. A proposition is
under consideration looking to tho erect
ion of a third penitentiary in tho conter
or interior ot the Slate. It is urged
that the Eastern and Western Peniten
tiaries are crowded with criminals from

western oounties are compelled to keep
their convicts in their respective county

From tho Richmond Timn,
Calm, temperate, sagacious executive,
and legislative action, nt this time, may
save us from any permanent injury from
tho vetoed act. Hut tlm desired advan
tages cannot bo gained by supinciu-ss
and inaction. In nil ages and countries
the haughtiest and most high-toned peo
ple when defeated in battle and forced
at tho point of the bayonet to accept
merciless and inhuman terms, have in no
way stained their reputation by taking
such measures as have best secured
their lives nnd property from the fury of
their conquerors.
From tliu Richmond Whig.
The only question we are privileged
to determine is, whether the present
constituted authorities will take charge
of tho maohinery and work it to the best
possible advantage for tho public, or
leave it in the hands ot unknown adven
turers or well known knaves, who moy
saddle us with a despotism after the
model of Brownlow.
The sooner we oit our peek of dirt,
the Booner we shall feel refreshed.
From tho Rkhmontl ttnqiilrcr.
The Supremo Court has unanimously
voted that such a law is wholly inadmis
sible. Majority and minority on other
points, concurred in declaring that
martial law iu time of peace is impos
sablo. Let us mako haste lo appeal to
that court. Let us do so cro wo are all
bucked and gigged.
From tho Mobile Ailvertluor and Register.
The men who, wore Yancey alive to
day, would send hime to tho scaffold as
a Union breaker, havo themselves com
pleted and perpetuated the work he only
began. Thero is no moro Amorican
Union. It died with the Constitution,
which was tho life in its body. Yancey
is triumphant. lie struck the blow to
end what Washington began, and the
Radicals are but the inevitable links in
the chain of sequence and destiny which
he forged.
From tlio TulIuliMfise Florldhn.
Wo think the executives of the States
owe it to tho people and to thu bost in

thore, we must then meet our troubles
with a brave heart, leaving the issue to
Ilim who makelh the wrath of man to

From tho Louiiivillo (Ky.) Courier.
Let the South, therefore, stand firm,

From iho Mjuiy.im.iry (Ala) M .11.
Let tho poopl) be q-iiet, and let the

Wo are satisfied that it will prove sue-1

From Tho Richmond Ki mulner.
In this, tho crisis of our fate, let us
stand together. Let there be no wrang
ling, no impugning of motive, no want
of charity, no refusal of justice. If we
differ, let us endeavor to persuade
never to lidiuule or intimidate; and
when action is determined on, let that
determination be a concession to every
honest conviction, or even prejudice,
that can honorably and w'lBcly bo con
sulted. When, finally, iho conclusion is
reached, let all sustain it, and wo shall
survive tho storm of fanatical tyranny
whioh assails us, and preserve enough
ot freedom on which to build, in the
new form of government that ap
proaches. Such infamous madness
cannot last always. Somo ereat finan
cial or political calamity will scourge
our enemies into justice, or tho idol ot
irresponsible power, which thoy are
now worshipping, will fall on them and

here, and tor that future work to which
wo shall bo called.
From Tho Cohimbua (Gu.) Sim.
We aro clearly of tho opinion that it

While it is truo that tho military bill

The situation is different now from

From Tho Lmilavllla (Kjr.) Journal.
The people of the South, if wise and

We aro vory far from despair, black

From Th Charliton (S. C.) Mercury.

The man among ns who favors this

From Tho IUltiinoro Sun.
To call this bill, then, a measure

THE GENERAL BANKRUPT LAW.
SYNOPSIS OF THE LEADING FEAT
URES. The jurisdiction in bankruptcy cases
is g'ven by the not to the several Dis
trict C urts of the United States, with
the United S ati'S Circuit Court acting
in a supervisory capacity as Courts of
Equity. The Judges of tho District
Courts will be assisted in the perform,
anco ot their duties imposed upon them
by registers in bankruptcy, who are re
quired lo bo counsellors ot those courts,
or of some of the Courts of Rocord or
their several Slates. Tho power of tho
R gisters is limited, and provision is
made for reference of disputed questbus
to tho District Court Judges, and for
Appeals from the District Courts to the
Circuit Courts, and from tho latter, in
cases where tho matter in disputp shall
exceed two thousand dollars, to tho Sin
pi erne Crutt of the United Stales.
Thero arc two kinds of bankruptcy
contemplated by the act ; voluntary ainl
involuntary. In tho former any person
residing within tho jurisdiction of the
United Stales, owing over threo hund
red dollars, and finding himself insol
vent, may apply by petition to the judge
of the district in which ho has resided
for tho six months preceeding tho date
of tho petition, or for tho longest period
during such six months, and shall there,
upon be declared a bankrupt. The
creditors, havirg been properly notified
by tho court, meet together nnd appoint
one or moro assignees of the estate of
tho debtor: the choice to bo mado by
the greater pari in value and in number
of the creditors who have proved their
debts, cr in case of failure to agree,
then by the District Judge, or where
there aro no opposing creditors, by the
Register. The whole affairs of the
bankrupt pass into tho hands of tho as
signees, who have full powers granted
them necessary for the collection of nil
debts and the final adjustment and
closing up of the estate. Stringent reg
ulations are mado for the proper deposit
and safe koeping of all moneys received
from tho estate; and wheie delay is
likely to occur from' litigation in thu
final distribution of the assets the court
is empowered to direct their temporary
investment. Tho bankrupt is liable nt
all times to bo called up tor examination
on oatn upon nil matters relating to the
disposal or condition of his piopcrty or
to his business transactions, and for
good cause shown his wile may in liko
manner be compelled to attend s a wit
ness in the case.
In the distribution of tho bankrupt's
estate, dividends are lo be paid as
agreed upon by a majority in value ot
the creditors, from lime to tiny;, nt threo
months' intervals, but the following
claims are first to bo paid in full: First,
tho fees, costs and all expenses under
the bankrupt act, second, all debts, tax
es and assessments duo to the United
States; third, all Stato debts, taxes and
assessments; wages due to any opera
tive, clerk or house servant to an amount
not exceeding fitly dollars for labor
performed within six months proceeding
tho bankruptcy; fifth, all debts due any
persons who are or may bo entitled to
preference by laws of the Uiutod States
Tho voluntary bankrupt is entitled to
his discharge provided no fraud is prov
ed against him, at any time from sixty
days lo ono year after adjudication of
bankruptcy, but the proof or discovery
ot any fiaud or concealment deprives
him of the right to diaobargo. No per.
son who has once received Ins discharge

ib iu uu uiiiiiieu uguin to Decome a vol
untary bankrupt, unless bis estate is
huflioient to pay soveuty per coul. on
his debts, or unless tliree-tourtlis ot his
creditors assent in writing to his bank
ruptcy. Preteroncea and fraudulent
convey anoes are declared void by the
act, and suitable provisions aro made
for the voluntary bankruptcy of part
nerships and corporations.
Tho exemptions under the law are as
follows :
The necessary housohold and kitchon
furniture, and such other articles and
necessaries of such bankrupt as tho as
signee 6I1IUI designate and set apart,
having reverence in tho amouut to tho
family, condition and oiroumstnnces of
tho bankrupt, but altogether not to ex
ceed in value, in any case, the sum of
$500 and also thu wearing apparel of
such Dannrupt, ana that ot Ins wite and
children, aud the uniform, arms and
equipments of any porson who is or has
been a soldier in the militia or in the
service of the United States; and such
other property as now is or hereafter
shall bo exempted from attachment or
seizure or levy on execution by the
laws ot tlie United states, and such
other property.nol inolnded in tho fore
going exceptions, as is exempted from
levy and sale upon 'execution or other
process or order of court, by the laws of
the State in which tho bankrupt has his
domicile at the time of commencement
of the proceedjngs in bankruptcy to an
amount not exceeding that allowed by
such State exemption laws in forco in
the year 1804.
Acts ot involuntary bankruptcy under
tho law are classified as follows : De
parture or absence from the State, whore
debts aro owed, with intent to defraud
the cielitors; concealment to avoid ser
vice of prooess tor tho recovery of . debt;
concealment ot property to avoid seiz
ure on legal process; assignments do
signed to delay, defraud on hiuder cred
itors; arrest nnd detention for seven
days, under execution tor a debt ex
ceeding one hundred dollnrs;assignment,

times here, Gov. Wells, having reoom
ded his oath before the United States
Court as Military Governor, has issued
hit proclamation, in which he declares
the existence and binding forco of the
recent aet of Congress known as the
Military bill. In conclusion he says ;
I, J. MaiHson Wells, Governor of the State
ot Loiilsiaua, do hereby declare the said act
to be in force In the said State, and and all
elections from nnd after tlrs dut'J, either by
State, municipal, or parochial nuthorlly. ex
cept In strict conformity to section (1th of said
act of Congress to bo void nnd of no cllect;
and all persons elected to olllcu must be able
to quiilit'y under auld law beforo thoy will be
allowed to enter on the duties of the same.
Tho Recorders luive notified the Mavor and
Chief of Police Unit after this date no persons
will bo released except by older of tho Re
corders themselves, thu Governor or Com
manding General of the Department.
The Chief of I'olieo has ordered his nion In
no cose to obey tho orders of tho Recorders
of Governors, and says their assumption of
authority over the police will no longer ue
torsrated by him, nud they must distinctly
understand tlmtall their orders como from the
Mavor himself.
Prominent citizens aro waiting on General
Sherlnan, wiinlini; him to remove both Gov.
Wells and Mtivor Monroe. A repetition of
tho July troubles Is expected at the election on
juonuuy.
Tim Bankrupt Bill, which has bevn
before Congress for the past two years,
has at lust been bo altered and amended
ns to meet tho views of the majority,
and lias become a law. Its provisions
aro as unexceptionable as the circum
stances of tho case will admit, and it is
tho least ' objectionable bankrupt law
ever in force iu this country. A debt
or having once taken advantage ot the
law lo settle his debts, cannot seek its
protection tho seoond time, unless his
assets are equal to seventy per cent.' of
nil lawlul claims, or threo-fourths ot
his creditors, representing that amount
ot value, should consent in writing. All
legal measures are nlso avoided. Thu
debtor cannot dictate terms nor delay
tho distribution of his assets ; nor can
a creditor prevent a release, by refusing
to sign. The debtor will thus have no
motive in concealing the state ot bis af
fairs, nor will the creditor gain any
thing by endeavoring to be harsh or
exacting. Ve given summary of this
important measure in this issue.
