For the Mhenlinr Tlm.,

Since you seem to take a deep interest
in the fate Of the bankrupt law, | will
make a sUggt stiOn iu reference to the
system, which If you think proper you

IT'S evident that the bankrupt law

exceptionable TO every friend Of the

as TO make many OF the supporters Of
the law, doubt the prepriety Of contin-

My suggestion is this, that the yoluu-
uniary clause OF the law De so amended,
as &c remove the burthen Of showing
that the applicant, is not a AT subject for
relief. from the shoulders of the creditor,
or at least relieve him 50 far as to re-
quire the applicant in the first place, TO
make out a clear case before the court,
or commissioner, and when required by
the creditor, before a jury also. Then
there would be some reason in tho M O.
ceedings.
The applicant contracts debts from

lTthere appear to be difficulties in the

them away. II he has clean hands the

There must be a concurrence of n

are often widely separated, or If con-
venient, so as 10 havo time for conccI-

because they may have proved, only for

GOV. MCDOWELL

"eregret very much Il see the eE
iort made by our Richmond brethren to
iasten the charge Of a~bolitionism, upon
Gov. Mcdowell, by quotations from his
speech, delivered in 1882. AT that time
a powerful effort was made to pass a law
for the gradual extinction ofslavery in
the State, which was,yery near success
'fl- OF this law, Nc. Mcdowell was an
b supporter, and tho speech quoted
from, was a part Of an argument to in
duce TO the passage of the law. That
he should endeavor TO set the subject in
It's strongest light before his colleagues,
IS not surprising, neither is il strange
that he should use the strongest argu
ments hat presented hemselves, which,
when they come lobe ~canvassed under
other circumstances, when, from the
existence OF political abolition isis these
opinions have become unpopular, would
be annoying and tend TO injury, but lei
the reader apply those arguments in
their length and breadth TO the test OF
reason and the circumstances under
which they were uttered and he will
lind little in them TO condemn. The
persons who have made these opinions
the subject Of attack must, in their own
minds, feel that he is less guilty inthe
utterance OF the sentiments, than they,
IN so constituting them as 10 give the
northern opponents OF our institutions
reason 10 suppose that Virginia has O
lected a Governor ;nImical to her in
s;itutions. Were it the object Of the
writers to make him unpopular, what

years., and ho defeated them. Would

be policy in the Wings TO treat him with
consider ration, and thus secure liberal
l:y AMI impartiality as far as possible,
IN the exercise Of his executive duties !
Tie is elected for three years, and by the
ibesali;y and kindness Of the wings, he
could be induced 10 refuse obedience TO
the Dictates Of the virulent loco focos
OF the Richmond clique. We think the
state policy might be much more favor
able to the people and better for the
Government. If, on the other hand, i;
e. IS the design Of those engaged to appeal
10 the Prejudices Of the outh and reterl
upon their o?onents the assertion of EN-
made, that the wings are abo~litionists,
the remark loses its force, when the re
ply is at once made that the junto were
i. against Mcdowell AM some wbigs voted
for him. 1t could, therefore, have no
weight in removing the i'm
pressions which nave becn industriousIy
circulated by Richie, hat the wings and
abolitionits are nearly allied, and, if il
would do it, ought not to be resorted ~
for the purpose, as it stamps undeserved
odium.
The motive however, seems 10 US TO
be deeper than that. We believe it IN.
teL.ded to alarm certain men against
the west, as Mr.. Med. is a western man,
and prevent their yielding that po' itical
power which is sour right. As such, we
feel that it deserves our opposition and
condemnation.

ELEVEN REASONS FOR PAYING DEBTS.
THE cBRIsrIAN's REASONS.

/. The christian member of society pays
his debts first, because he is ordered 10 do so
III the Bible where we are told to sRender UNI
to Cesar the things that are C9sar's and to
God tho things that are God's,' and to sowa
no man any thing
y The christian hears the high Command
ment every Sunday: Thou shalt not steaI,s
and Ceirauding man of his due is stealing
Tor the iradesman lends upon faith and honor,
and does not give
.. The Christian pays regularly all he owes,
because he is a friend to justice aud mercy
lie wishes both to love and succor his neigh.
Dor, aud will not have the ruin of others on
his conscience.
The Patriots Reasons
a. The patriot knows that one act of ius.
ilce is worth six of charity, that Justice helps
The worthy and corrects the unworthy, while
charity too often succors but the latter.
D. The patriot considers the evils that en-
sue from the more wealthy man leaving his
poorer neghbor unpaid; that by that means
the steps of the grea, ladder of society are
broken-the first ruin beginning with the mer-
chant, who can no longer pay his workmem
and continuing to the workman's child, who
Is deprived of clothes, food or instruction; or
to the aged Father and mother, left TO die OH a
bed Of straw
%. The patriot also pays, because the sys-
tenn oil nonpayment to certain extent would
bring general bankruptcy on the nation
Tie man Of tie 'rOrid's reasons for pairing his
debts.
z. The man of the world pays, because he
Is convinced That honesty is the best policy.
:. The man of the world pays because he
knows that curses will go with his name if he
does not pay, instead of good will and good
words, which last he secures with certain
class by paying.
8. The man of worldly calculation is aware
that, by the immediate payment of his debts
as fast as they are incurred, he purchases
peace of mind, aud becomes acquainted with
his income, his means and his resources.
TO- The man of the world wishes for
comfortable old age. and knows that he has
but litte Of it from his surrounding family.
unless he train up his children in habits of ora
stcr and economy
III. The man of the world knows the (nll
force of the term, 'being an honest man > that
1t will carry him through political favor, and
family disputes; and he cannot make claim 10
that name if he is the ruin of others Chris
