THE NEWS OF PEACE IN PIEDMONT.

Mos2AsBANo, July 5, 1859.
AZ you may easily imagine, the of hat people
here call the premnaries of peace has been received
with great astonishment, both by the Pedmontese
amy and by the people of lombsrdy. NOBODY would
have thought that Napoleon could give up the idea OF
thoroughly huuilating Power which has alwsys
sbown the greatest contempt for his parvenue origin
and for his dynasty. Beside thls the Italians who
are such adopts in the art Of self torturng already
busy engaged in foreteing al sorts OF ills; and their
restless mssinstions tell that both the Interests of
their chosen hing and Of Italy will be sacrificed by
the European Courts in Congress. II We are 10 be-
heve coffee house politicians, the Venetian prov
inces will be handed over TO Al Austrian srchiuke

Proposed Abolition Of tlsc Law
for Enforcing the. Payment of

Abolish all laws for the collection oc debts
and leave creditors to their own powers of
discriminating character when giving cred
its. This is the point to whic, our growing
civilization tends, and to which practical
wisdom and philosophy point. We have
long since abolished the inhuman laws which
used to impriSon debtors; in which abolition
we took the lead of old Europe. We have
now to lead the way in a more important re-
form. A great proportion of the bad debts
made. arises from the pushing Of business on
imprudent buyers, extending credits, aud in
relying on the law for enforcing payment
Whch without remedy at law, the seller of
goods would look exclusively on character
established charactor-where credit was
given; and credits would be more pro-
portioned to the known means of the debt
or, both as regards amount and time. The
expense attending the collecting of debts are
very great and absorb large portion fthe
profit. In cases offailure among the dealers,
their debtors are, as is well known, apt to
take advantage, and delay, if not altogether
refuse, payment of their debts. The law is
resorted to by them for it's evasion. The
moral effect of the proposed abolition of the
law to compel payment of debts, which it
does SO imperfectly and at so great an ex-
pense of money and time, would be great
1t would be felt by traders, that to obtain
any credit reputation for character must
first be obtained and constantly maintained
It would also be felt by the seller that it
would not answer to tempt buyers to buy too
much. The seller would bemore cautious
Besides, cash transactions would increase and
speculative dealings diminish. The evasion
of the presentlaws for the collection of debts
is very easy to dishonest men, aided by pro-
fcssion advice; and numerous instances
abound ofmen having become rich, by run
ming largely in debt, putting their property
so acquired out of reach, and setting all laws
at defiance Rich men abound whose prop
erty is all settled on their wives, or held in
trust for them by others, which in the alb
sence Of a bankrupt law, can not be reach
ed.
Indeed, if no law existed to enforce pay
ments of debts, men would look into the
moral habits of their debtors before trusting
and not afterwards. They would not be so
ready to reduce by illicit means, any set Of
men to make purchase Men so facile of
character as to be so led arc never reliable
