of the recent decision Of our Nex.York Courts

for the benefit Of their London creditors who I'd
furnished the money to put that concern in opera

credit is regarded ON the London Exchange. But
if that decision removes one blot upon American
credit, which We do not question, it still leaves

Of which our New-York syst em Of law seems to be
chiefly made up. But seventeen years 70 set'
lie a question which depended mainly, if not
entirely on the construction of " ritten papers,
lie perfectly moOsirOus. To speak of such asystem
as system for he administration Of justice is
bitter piece Of irony. Such system is rotting
better than premium held out to the dishonest TO
delay payment by going to law. Nor, though this
case Of the North American Trust and Banking
Company is a strong one can it be set down as IN
the nature of an anomaly or exception. The idea
that contracts con be enforced by law is under our
system for the administration of justice little bet
ter than inare and delusion. II the parties to
whom credit is given are prosperous aud success
full, most likely they will fulfill their contracts;
but If TIE comes to stand ST it is to be
expected that grand scramble will follow, pro-
traced, perhaps, for seventeen years. and in which
veg likely the whole property in dispute will be
rsod up.
1t is msym OF the common law, and an excel
lent maxim too, however lite attention is paid to
it in Practice, that the interest of the public, and
it might be added the interest Of the parties too,
requires that controversies should have an end.
There can be little doubt ttat in nine cases out OF
ten, perhaps in ppety-nine in hundred, wrong
decision on the spot is better for the parties con
cerned than right decision Only obtained after
seventeen years litigation. The only Justification
or excuse that we have ever heard of for these
shockirr d'ays is, that the lawyers must i've
But we do Dot see the necessity Of that. Ii three.
quarters o' the lawyers in this city were to vanish
out of existence tomorrow, it is impossible to see
Row the public would suffer by it. At all events,
il would be better t. support them like other pau
pers cut of the public treasury, than to have them
live rs BOW by tantalizing the public with promise
of law aud justice which they never can get or
orly al an expense and after delays which make it
cost more than il comes to.

The story of British Army enliatments IN this
country is revived. If there be any truth at the
lotion Of it, We insist that the operators be at once
proceeded against as criminals or taken care Of as
idiots. What they attempt can never be effected in
Illegal but easily might in perfectly legal way.
II the British Government were to establish enlist
Dent depOts at convenient points in Canada and
advertise extensively in the journals Of British
America ard this country, offering generous
bounty ior acceptable recruits, it would obtain
hem in reasonable numbers aud break no laws in
the process. Half the money illegally squandered
here in 1855 would, if judicously and legally dis
bursed, have secured at least an effective regiment.
