Rhode Island.

Things are pretty quiet again in little Rhode Isl
and, and lle deluded followers Of the demagogues,
who caused the late excitement, are quietly re-
turning 10 their allegiance to the laws. These
honest and hard working poor men are now thor
ooghly convinced Of the selfshness and insincerl-
~ Of the bold, bad men, who led them on 70 re-
bellion and the verge Of civil war; and who ran
off aud deserted them in the moment of danger.
They also join with the charermen in demanding
that justice be done to Dorr, and his leaders, and
that the penalties Of the law be visited upon them
The regular Legislature will meet early in July,
and as perfect order has again been restored
throughout The State, one of their first acts no
doubt will be to call Convention TO frame Con-

VVartO the Knife.

The Harrisburg Signal, a regular out and out
loco loco paper, is busily engaged in dissecting
the Democracy of James, Buchanan, and canvass
ing his claims for the Presidency. 1t makes
him out TO be an old anti War Federal,st, with
out drop Of Democratic blood in his veins. We
intend TO preserve file of the Signal for use,
in case Mr.. Buchanan should ever have the
audaci.y 10 run for President. It's articles will
form an unanswerable argument against this

place he was removed from Washington after his

dred dollars, was sold al the same time for

one dollar and Gfiy cents, There are two spe.
Gle paying banks in Muskingum county. and if
such great sacrifices take place in their imme.

Destruction of Cape Hayticm.

The brig Dirigo, Captain Tucker, arrived at
Boston on Monday evening from Cape Hayten,
whence she sailed on the oath ult. Capt Tucker
brings the first direct information of the awful
earthquake of the 7th The loss of life is fully
large as the accounts via Port au Prince led those
acquainted with the Island to suppose, and about
twice as great as the accounts via Jeremie.
Capt. Tucker was on board his vessel at the
time of the earthquake, and was an eye witness of
the appalling scene. 1t took place at P. nj. and
the entire demolition of almost every building in
the city was the work of about two minutes only !!
portion of two or three buildings alone remain
ed standing Of that city, which was the finest in
the Island, being built principally ofmassve stone.
The tide flowed into the principal streets; and re-
ceded again in a few minutes. Soon after the
earthquake, the combustbile parts Of most of the
buildings took fire separately, from the cooking
apparatus, &c. and were consumed.
Capt. Tucker states that the entire population of
the place estimated at from ten to twelve thou
sand, and from the best information he could ob-
tain from many OF the survivors, not more than
two thousand escaped with their lives All, or
nearly all the officers of the Government being
killed, there was 10 authority to control the survi-
wing population, and they were continually fight
ing, and shooting each other for plumber. The
cargo ofthe Dirgo was dug out of the ruins after
the earthquake. There was only one ship master
lost. the captain of a Norwegian vessel.
Contrary to anticipation, it appears that many OF
the principal merchants survived the calamity;
among the rest Mr.. Carvaho, an eminent merchant,
who visited Boston year or two since, and was
much esteemed by his acquaintance.

Operations Of the Bankrupt La,o.--In almost every
paper we pick up, we find aOme decisions to
10 the intent and meaning of the Bankrupt act 10 the
city of New York, the lawyers are experimenting with
its provisions and do all in their power to annoy and
harrass the applicants for its benefits,
The New York Herald says that thus far the law has
only served to point the location of property to ere
dilors, in order that they may seize it under the State
laws. Judge Story has decided that property which
comes into possession Of the bankrupt after his papers
are fled is not inject 10 attachment When the bank
rupt flies his BILL tho property of which he then stands
possessed is under The charge Of the assignee and is
not liable to sezure but if the bankrupt does mot suc>
ceed in obtaining his decree the property is then ex-
posed 10 attachment from individual creditors and may
be seized aud Sold The bankrupt has then 10 com.

There is another interesting point of the law II is in

thai furniture is included in the inventory of The bank.

trained were those nventoned with the petition On
behalf of the bankrupt X. W. Howell Esq. moved the
Court for rule upon the landlord to desist from farther
proceeding on his warrant alleging, Il that the act of
Congress placed The landlord on footing with all other
creditors; aud q that it necessary for Tie complete
enforcement of the BANKRUPT law that tie articles nven
toried should pass into the hands Of the assignee to be
by him disposed oE
The Court refused the rule, stating, that iflhe appI
cation would lie at all it must be at the instance ofhe
assignee. That the petitioner having been declared
bankrupt all his right of property had passed from
him into the assignee. But the Court further ntimaed
that the assignee mustl lake the property subject 10
all lawful liens; of which character the liens accrung
to landlords under the laws Of the state consider
ed has, however, been decided by Daniel Webster
that where the State laws in collision with those
the Federal Government the latter are always para
mount The warrants of the landlords under this deci
sion must give way.
