A General Bankrupt Law.

We learn by a special disF catch from
Washington to the New York Herold, tha,
Senator TooMBs, of Georgia, Chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, has prepared and will
introduce bill for the general and uniform
system of bankruptcy throughout the United
States, for the protection of creditors, the re-
lief OF insolvent debtors, and to regulate the
commercial intercourse Of the citizens of dr.
ferent States, including banks and all cor
pora.ions; and as near as can now ascertain
it will contain both voluntary and involunta-
ry bankruptcy, and will compel both individ-
uals and corporations to pay their debts or
become bankrupt.
The correspondent of the journal in which
the dispatch appears, thinks that the opera
tion of the law, if the bill passes, will pre-
vent bank suspensions, by holding over all
corporate institutions fear Of proceedings in
bankruptcy that it will provide against all
frauds and preferences, and compel an honest
division Of bankrupts' property among cred-
itors.
We see that on the 8th, the Hon. JOHN
COCHRAN, of New York, presented in the
House, petition for bankrupt law signed
by merchants of that CITY.
