COney Island.

GRANVILLE, Jan. l6, 1872
Mr. Bennett Sir, presume you are looking
anxousy for some intelligence from this quarter
The most important transaction took place yesterday
in the House Of Representatives, Mr.. Lovewealth
brought in bill of the following nature.
Whereas, there are many worthy citizens of this
Island having left oil digging for clans in the old
Banks, and having found none, have thereby impov-
erished themselves, and cannot live in the sumptuous
manner they have heretofore. And it being further
evident those citizens who did embark in the worthy
enterprise, VIZ: digging for CLANS where they never
was found, entered the said business to benefit the
Government as well themselves, and ii is we'll
known that the number OF suffering citizens are
about 10000
Be il therefore resolved, that all those who have
contracted debts for the said purpose viz dig ginp
for clans where there nsne with the purpose 10
benefit government and themselves, be exonerated
from paying all any debts resulting from the said
digging.
Resolved, That in case any man who may enter
SUIT at law against these enterprsing citizens, or
who may use any unbecomng eplthet towards those
citizens, VIZ robbers or swinders, mad to-be rich,
any way they can fix it, shall suffer the laws de-
lay and the oppressor wrong, and shall be liable TO
work upon the crab and lobster canal for one shilling
per day. Resolved, that this goes into effect mnie-
diately upon il being signed by the Executive.
Mr. Locklaw moved TO lay the subject upon the
table, he considered it struck at the very root of
jurisprudence.
Mr. Softshell said he thought if such a bill should
pass, there would be end to inprudence, he
moved the committee on the hole should now COM
mence operations.
The committee in the Senate has not disposed Of
the Wall street petition yet. There is a report OF a
duel taking Place here account of the said petit

which took place between one OF the Senators and

The Bankrupt Law,

Your correspondent :" Justice,' think, proved a
little too much for the good of his own cause He
says, 81 have fellow who owes me two thousand
dollars who has perjured himself each fall and
spring, since 1896, always swearing he has pro-
perry bring him up under creditors bill, he
swears he has been doing brokering business
only-that he has meney--that the house he
lives in is rented by his motherin aw-that he
seized the furniture once, but his mother n-aw
claimed It,"
Now, 1t is to prevent the recurrence Of such
scenes as this, that bankrupt Jaw becomes neces-
sary. Something that will limit the acts OF re-
vengeu creditor, and render II unnecessary TO have
debtor harrassed, by being brought up under a
Gre dtors bill every spring and fall, and made to
swear that he has no propery"-ihat the very
house which covers him, his wife and little ones
the furniture on which, with them he shares the
scany meal all, In pity furnished, by his wife s
mother"
Oh # there be any thing in this wide world, cal.
cuated TO depress and darken the spirit Of man, it
have placed HIM within the grasp OF nerciess and
unfeehng CREDITOR creditor, far his inferior in
every quality, save . the almighty dollar" and
that, perhaps, ebtalned by extorlionaie exactops
which would make an honest man blush and hasg
down his head TO think himself man.
Twelve times in the space Of SIX years, has Jrs-
tee" cited this poor man before the Chancellor
Once has he seized the furniture of his moiher-in-
law. and now because the law will not bead to his
illegal and revengeful desires, he charges this name
less "fellow," with the black crime of "perjury"
/ hesitate not 10 say
"such man would strip the dead,
Would rob the orphan of his crust of bread,
To lost to Justice, equity and right,
That maa W ould steal the aged widows mite,
| Pisge the palace OF the king OF kings
And CLIP the gliding from an angels wings"

PARK THEATRE-MR. SIMPSONS BEsErrr-The
worthy manager of the Park Theatre calls upon his
numerous friends this evening TO rally in his behalf
Never has Mr.. Simpson more deserved or more
needed benefit, than on the present, occasion I'M
firing exertion and indetatisabity has marked his
every action in his recent efforts to pleaseNhe public
and insure their patronage. No expense has been
spared and no labor saved in his faithful endeavors
to resuscitate the decayng drama. And what has
been the result {! Those who visit the theatre can
answer that question. The severe losses sustained
by the manager in his recent star engagements,
have been the effect of his eagerness to produce no.
velty and delight his patrons; his theatre opened
under the most iaterng auspices in the production
of London Assurance, and every thing babe fair for
prosperous season; but the tide suddenly turned
and all since has been reversed. Exclusive of Mr.
Simpsons losses, the high estimate placed upon his
honor and integrity as a manager commends the &C.
casion to the notice Of the public.
We hope to see the house crowded; let every
lover of the drama eelt his duty to be present and
thereby testify to the fact, that New York can he
