We do not often obtrude private grief, on the
attention Of the public, vet feel ,ha, there arc
occasions when tame submission TO adverse par
liaity and gross injustice is calculated tempt to
farther outrage Such outrage have we been ex-

lion Of our readers.
By wise and just provision Of the Bankrupt
law, it Is made the duty of the Judges Of the
Federal Courts to designate the papers in which
l.c advertisements under that act shall be pub
Iished. This provision is founded on an obvious
necessity In its absence, dishonest Bankrupt
might advertise as the law otherwise directs, but
entirely in obscure journals of small circulation,
which would not probably be seen BIZ onc-tenth Of
his Creditors, aud thus the intent and purpose of
publishing be virtually defeated. To obviate this,
the Judges instructed to designate certain pm
per- in which those advertisements may appear,
lorgexA circulation especially among Creditors,
shall be chosen and persons interested in detecting
fraud be secured an opportunity to do So Under
this provision Of law, Judge Belts Of the L. S.
District Court for this District assisted We under
stand, by Mr.. Justice THOMPSON of the Supreme
Court, llus made and published the following a.
"RULE TO-
All notice. oi proceedings in bankruptcy rcquredto be

York (of shich the COURIER AND EHouRER, because of

Now the Daily circulation of the paper above
invested with &, monopoly of all advertisements
in Bankruptcy because Of haring the largest
circulation, is less than one-halt that of The
TmpuNE, While It's country circulation Is also
siderably less than ours the aggregate circulation
of all the sepen papers on that list is less than
official papers have not aggregate circulation
equal to ours; and two Of them unitcd have no,
onr.tourM much Daily circulation as this paper.
Yet every Bankrupt is required to advertise in the
Courier & Enquirer and TWO others of these papers
bu, allowed 20 advertise at all in The Tribunc
and he is compelled 10 pay for the advertising just
about twice much as he ought. All this by vir-

RACES to the niic,ion Of great hardship upon the
destitute Bankrupts and with the hazard of serious
loss to the creditors of those who have property
But this is not all. A great many extensive
creditors and their lawyers are virtually constrained
10 subscribe for the Courier & Enquirer by this
Rule, in order that they may see all the Notices in
Bankruptcy, although that paper may on Political
other grounds be especially obnoxious to them
and for they must pay $40 per annum; while if
cheap paper had been selected, the cost would
have been So 10 81 per annum
Such are the facts of tile a respectful bu,

Bar=was forwarded to the Judge, asking that The
Tribune might be placed the list of papers a,,-
