CHESAPEAKE AND Ono CANAL

CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL.-lt
is stated in the Frederick Examiner, that
q, the recent meeting in that CITY, OF the
Stockholders Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company, report was submitted
from a committee previously appointed to
investigate the subject Of raising funds to
complete the canal TO Cumberland. The
Examiner says: Among other matters
contained in that report, statement was
made to the effect that money could be
obtained, or rather that responsible con-
tractors had offered to complete the canal
with funds 10 be provided by themselves,
IN case the State would waive its lien IN
their favor TO The required amount" and
provided further that General Mcneil
were elected President of the Company
for the time being. The resignation Of
Colonel Sprigg of the Office Of President,
and the prompt reelection of General
Mcneil, is regarded by the Examiner as
a strong Indication of confidence on the
part Of ths stock .holdsrs, in the fessibiIi.
ty OF he scheme.

The pFomp, answer 10 Mir. Beuton's
Resolution calling for Information re.
speeding the assumption Of State Debts
was quite an event IN the proceedings OF
the Senate. The Secfetary's reply to the
insiDuation Of the Senator from Missouri
that there was some conference on this
mater is in the following words:
"The undersigned has the homer 10 10.
port to the President that The late Special
Minister from Great Britain to the United
States made no proposition, informal or
Otherwise, to The Negotiator on the part of
The United States for The assumption or
guarantee Of the State Debts, by the Gov
eminent Of the United States 10 the hold
srs thereof"
(Signed.l DANIEL WEBSTER.
The answer 10 The resolution bout the
Oregon Territory and the Quintuple
Treaty will be very similar to The one
Ia regard to the Stale Debts.
The Senate had very long Executive
session today, moved by the Chairman
OF The Naval Comm ltee, and is therefore
supposed TO have some connection with
The recent events on board the Somers.
The House does not meet again until
Tuesday.
The Senate with the House has adj.
journed until Tuesday next.
The Civil aud Diplomatic Bill has been
signed by the presiding officers of both
Houses and Is ready for the signature OF
the President. The number Of Bills final.
ly acted upon by the House of Represen-
tatlves to-day was between one hundred
and forty and one hundred and fifty.

THE BANKRUPT LAW.

Speaking Of this important Act, and
It's effects, paat and present, the New I ork
Express says--..The Law now is, in IFS
operation, stripped OF its great deformity.
The leading objection to it was the ex-
pos. facio provision, by which all that
owed old debts, prior TO the passage OF
the law, we're admitted to free DIS
charge. The law having been IN force
year or more, all this class Of persons
have availed themselves Of the advantages
Of the law. Now its operations are Tor
The benefit Of the creditor. No man can
now make an ass gnment, nor can any
make preferred creditor. The praclice
tha, has for years prevailed OF securing
confidential creditors is broken up; friends
and relatives are placed in the same scale
with the business creditor. Persons can.
no, lump into business with borrowed
capital, run in debt make a great flourish,
assign their effects, to pay an uncle or on
aunt. and cheat the honest creditors out
Of their money; all must share equally
and alike, aud on an homes. surrender,
the unfortunate man, as he should be, is
discharged. The law IS, therefore IN lis
operation, wholly 10 favor Of the creditor.
Since the law has been in force, we have
known several large failures take place,
aud in every instance an immediate set
tlement has been made the unfortunate,
not being permitted to assign his proper
ty, TO pay even borrowed money, has
been compelled to pay all alike the con.
sequence has been, that the creditors had
all the property, md being satisfied, have
taken il withou, forcing the party to the
