The following statement of abuses re-
Gently practised in New York, and very
judioious remarks on the severity and hard
ship on the southern and western merchants
who trade with that city, we copy from
Hudson's Express of the 18th instant:-
"During the recent pechniary difficulties,
by which this city, more than others. has
been afflicted, the law of arrest, as respects
nonresident debtors, has been pretty fre-
quently invoked by creditors against south
ern and western merchants; and we have
heard of several cases of peculiar hardship
and cruelty. The writ has been served
out, not from any doubt of the ultimate SOL
vency of the debtor, or his integrity and in
cllnation TO pay, but to obtain the guaranty
of some resident in the city in the shape
of bail, to save the difficulty and expense
of collection. Several instances have oc-
CURED in which gentlemen Of the highest
responsibility and tlndoubted wealth, have
been hurried away from their hotels to the
prison, after dark, when they could not
readily procure security; and we know of
one case where $4, 800 were rendered to
the jailor as deposite for the payment of
500 the next morning by an arrested
debtor from Virginia, but Intellectually, as
the jailar's duty was merely ministerial,
and he had no direction in the matter.
"We do not complain ofthe law, so much
as of the manner in which it is or has been
abused recently under the pretext of COM
mercial suffering; and some of the acts Of
treachery and cool discrimination practsed
with view of ascertaining the intended
movements of the traveller, open quite an
edifying page in the old volume of human
nature. Old accounts, disputed items,
charges for interest unadjusted, &c. have
been raked up, and although they were not
embraced in subsequent transactions and
accounts current, have been made the ground
work on which process of cdpias has been
issued; and the claims have been settled,
not from conviction of their justice, but
to procure liberty, as in the disorganization
of trade and its principles, southern and
western merchants have not found it so easy
a matter to obtain BAIL"
The Columbia Democrat. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1837-1850, 1837-10-28

Attempt to Fire the General Post Office
at W0shing gton-We take the following
from the National Intelligencer of yesteI-
day.
''For several days past a report has been
in circulation in this city, of an attempt to
set fire to the General Post Office, which
is now kept in the large building formerly
occupied by Mr.. A. Fuller, and known by
the name Of the American Hotel, situated
at the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and
Fourteenth street. We understand that a
bundle Of papers which were placed on the
mantel-piece of the Postmaster Generals S
room, were found burnt, and the mantel
piece charred, when the room was entered
early on Sunday morning. Appearances
were therefore, much in favor of the suspi-
cion that an incendiary attempt had been
made, probably at the time when the watch
man was temporarily absent on Saturday
night, going his rounds in the other parts
of the building. We also understand that
an investigation has hesa instituted into the
circumstances by order of the Postmaster
General; but of the result we are not yet
apprzed.

ANOTHER SNAKE STORY.

On Thursday last Mr.. Robert Cooke, of
this borough, having been taken with vi
olent vomiting, threw from his stomach a
snake six inches in length. The reptile is
of mouse color; its back and belly exactly
corresponding in color with that animal-is
perfectly formed as to head, scales, &C.,
and as near as we can judge, belongs to Tie
water species. 1t may be seen at the store
of Jacob Cooke & Co., who have preserved
it in spirits, (the individual from whom it
came having, at the impulse of the moment,
thrown il into the fire, from which it was
not rescued in time to save its life.)
Mr.. g. cannot in any way account for its
lodgment in his stomach, other than that
about six weeks ago, while on a cunning
excursion in the neighborhood, he took
drink from a spring, since which time he
has experienced singular sensations accom-
panied by indisposilion,-but he is not IL
ware of having swallowed anything uneom-
mon at the time.--Ihancy Telegraph,
