THE BANKRUPT LAW REPEALED-THE Results
The long agony is over. The Bankrupt Law is re-
pealed; the signature of the President having been
affixed to the Repeal Bill last Friday, the Sd inst
The immediate effect of its repeal will be that all
petitioners who filed their petitions previous to the
third inst will be allowed to go through; those filed
since, will be rejected.
But although repealed, the Bankrupt Law has not
yet done its work. Like the passage of devas-
tatng army through country, it leaves long train
of evils behind. Its principal benefits have been re-
ceved by spectators, overtraders and fictitious ca
pitalists. To the honest merchant, doing regular
business on a sound basis and in legitimate way,
the Bankrupt Law has in most instances proved an
injury and embarrassment. To the press also it
has been a source of profit. The Courier q En-
suirer admits that il has received some $l5,OOO or
$4,000, probably not less than $685. So much
TO one solitary paper. How much to all we have
not calculated. But the effects and assets OF debt
ors may be considered as having been distributed
among three classes-lo the press -third-to law
yers one -third-and to creditors one-third. And if
this latter class have in all cases got enough to pay
their postage, they may consider that they have
done well.
The total amount of debts republication it is no.
thing but repudiaton-may be set down at So 900
TO each bankrupt and if there be 10000 bankrupts,
the otalrepudiaton will be about $500 OOO equal
10 the total Indebtedness of all the States of the
Union.
The Bankrupt Law, however, has now run its
race, nor is it probable that there will be another

sion for another Bankrupt Law until another age
of speculation shall come round, with all its growth
of banks, Its paper cities, and castles in the air

THE SoMERs CASE BEFORE THE GRAND JURY OF
THE U. S. DISTRICT CoURT.-We understand that
this important case is now before the Grand Jury of
the United States District Court, and there is the
strongest probability that an indictment will be
found If such really turn out to be the case, and
the indictment be not quashed technical grounds,
as we have heard minated will be urged, the in
vestigaton of the whole affair will pass into the
hands of civil tribunal, which cannot possibly be
accused of Partially; new and alabsorbng in
terest will be given to this remarkable case and
due Justice will be rendered to American seamen
on the side, and American naval officers on the
other for reality that is the proper and practi-
cal aspect OF the 1t is simply question as to
the nature and extent of the rights of our seamen,
and the legal limits of the authority of their su-
periors.
The Somers case is most evidently by far the
most important in the whole history of our
Navy. From the organization of that Navy, up to
the period of these awful occurrences the charac-
ter Of the men composing the service has been un
furnished by single stain of dishonor or treachery
to their flag. THERE'S something most monstrous
and incredible in the idea that American seamen
could harbor such plot as that ascrbed to two
thirds of the crew of the Somers. What is it not
libel on the whole service, to suppose that such a
large body OF the men composing It, could be found
capable of Joining in conspiracy TO convert the
honored flag of their revered country into the banner
OF bark OF pirates and iassassins?-to murder their
officers, and then attack American merchantmen,
and violate their countrywomen, and cut the threats
of their fellow citizens? The history of the service
gives the lie to such horrible supposion. We can
not believe that the honorable and chivalrous cha
racter, and tried patriotism of American seamen,
can possibly be dsgraced by the establishment of
such charge. And it is in order afford the fullest
and most satisfactory means OF ascertanng whether
the hitherto unblemished reputation of our naval
service has in reality been at alblotted dsgraced,
that we desire TO have this case submitted to the
examination and adjudication of tribunal which
will command universal confidence and respect that
we trust no more technicaities OF law may stand in
the way of the proceedings now anticipated
