Judge Gholson, decided on Tuesday last
in the Bankrupt Court, that petitioner in
Bankruptcy, who remained defaulter TO the
Government as Post Master, might be
specially discharged from all his other debts;
such defaIcation deprvlng the petitioner OF
all right to be discharged from such Govern
ment debt only. This decision corresponds
with the decision which have been made
by Judges Story, Mclean and Thompson
OF the Supreme Court, in cases involving
the same principles, while it is adverse to
that of Judge Daniel of that Court.
The Court on same day intimated an opin-
ion that the objections to petitioners dis
charge must be made under oath. This
question vas adjourned over 10 until to-day
for argument.

THE COURTS AT JACKSON.

The Bankrupt Court and the Circuit Court
are both now being held in Jackson, and the
onerous duty Of holding both Courts has
devoIved upon Judge Ghoson; Judge Nc
kinley having been prevented from attend
ing, 1t is said, by stroke ofparaIysis. The
District Judge is, however, heartily at work
and seems determined to try every cause
in both courts, that standsready for hearing
The Bankrupt Court has been held par,
of each day, and during the other part, the
Circuit Court has been in session. The
Judge is thus with one hand taking off
and with the other, heaping debts aud
Judgements upon Us. Objections have been
filed to hut comparatively few Of the Petit
tons In Bankruptcy.

IN BANKRUPTCY.

In the case Of LEMAN and ABBY, his
Homer Judge GTLcHRIsT, d, cided in the
Court of Bankruptcy, Oh Saturday last,
that an assignment made in contemplated
of bankruptcy or insolvency "a conclusion
drawn from the deed Itself and the circum-
stances attending lis execution,l giving
preference TO one creditor or one set Of
creditors over another, constituted an act
of bankruptcy, and rendered The assignsrs
liable to be declared involuntary bankrupts

p, rance also decided in the case, of which
we forbear a statement at present, as we

DECISION IN BANKRUPTCY.


The following important points were re-
Gently decided by Judge Story, in the Court
Of Bankruptcy:
l. That fiduciary debts are proveable
under the proceedings in bankruptcy,
equally with the other debts, at the uredi-
tors election.
2. That if the fduciary creditor elects to
come in and prove his debt, he is barred Of
all other remedy therefor, except out OF
the assets.
8. That fduciay debts not proved IN.
der the proceedings in bankruptcy, are not
extinguished by discharge and certificate
under the act.
d. That if the petitioner has, after the
passage Of this act, applied trust funds to
his private use, he is denied any discharge
or certificate, as to all his debts whatsoever
mot only such as are fduciary, but all
Others
From this IT is settled, that a misapplica-
ton of funds before the passage Of the act,
+deprves the party applying from dis
charge Of those debts only-while mis- up
plication of the funds after the passage OF
the act deprives ham Of RICH; to a dis
charge from day deDts, OF whatever charac-

GENRR Al, CASS.

This distinguished individual has writ.
ten letter to some of his friends in Penn.
'eyvania. in which he announces his ex.
pectation that he will "reach The United
States by The beginning Of December" He
further states that the ratification of the
Treaty with Great Britain, has " removed
all apprehension Of immediate difficulties -
and rendered his ".further re1dence in Eu-
rOpe uHRecessary." He has therefore re-
q1ested TO be relieved from his mission.
II would thus seem that the reports
which have been in circulation, of General
cass's return being caused by his dislike of
FL the TERMS Of the Treaty, are untrue and 'un-
founded. The reason for his return is Just
the reverse.

PLANTERS CONVENTION.

This convention met in Jackson on
Tuesday last. Il was, however, a very
meagre affair. Judge Winchester IT
Natchez presided, and F. 8. Hunt, Esq. Of.
fciated as Secretary.
The convention took up the questions Of
the New Orleans Whlrf Tax on Cotton,
and the subject Of Direct Trade, and after
moving along duly and slowly for some
ii ne, S. S. Prentiss, Esq was called on
for a speech, to which call he responded
in speech of great eloquence, and equally
as much extravaganza and hyperbole.-
Judge Winchester followed him in lucid,
arg lmentaive speech, in which he gave
his experience and that of his neighbors as
to the benefits Of Direct Trade. / he meet
ing adjourned till last Wednesday night,
when it was addressed by Judge Bodley Of
Vicksburg, in a very interesting manner.
Several other persons, OF less dist ction,
also address Led the meeting.
The convention accomplished nothing;
but adj urned to meet in this place on the
26h day Of this month. We hope the
convention at this, place will be we'll attend
ed. The greet cotton county OF Madison
ought not to be behind her sister counties
in her zeal for the prosperity of the agri-
cultural interests of the State; if, indeed,
direct trade tends to the prosperity of that
interest. OF this there are different OPT.
Mons amongst us, and we confess we have
not sufficiently reflected on the subject to
form any opinion ourselves. But it will
do no harm to come and reas n together
on the subject.
