In response 10 1he general feeling, that now
is tue time TO comn1guca grcat ielornn in our
Collection Laws. Mr. Elmors has introduced H..
following bill:

The above bill should bc read over thought
fully by every citizen, n ws';do not iesitate tp
| SAY some measure of this character viii be Of
the Sta,e. It will aid in hereafter keeping oa'
All oppressive burden under which 50 muuy nos
| groan, in the fur,n Of legal costs.
Our present collection Laws are such delu-
| sion to the honest creditor who expects TO get
something by sueing his debtor, that We had
better make clean sweep Of the whole collec-
Merchants Of The largest experience and most
extensive trade, concur in the opinion that their
business would ba mich sounder Hnd more re-
liable, If tie collection luws were abolished.
| Then they would not trust any one, nulcss they
knew ll;1n to he honest-now they trust many
upon the contingencies Of The Law, and it is we'll
| known that auy Iosuish debtor, by employing
so'ne sharp attorney, can eyade the pay meut ol
| bis debts.
After J. twelve years's experience in business
| IN this State, it is cur conviction that moTc
debts arc lost which are due from men who conltl
pay, tl,un from .llose y ho canuot The remark
Is made: "What can you do: He has 20 co.'s
cred up Ills property thns you cannot get at it,
Such mcn. Of course, should not be trusted i;
but they will be, o long as laws remain on the
statute book, which seem to give The creditor Il
chance 10 collect his dues, but that chance soon
disappears when be tries the process Of the law.
The present collection laws thus become the
rogues' decoy. by which be is constantly swim
ding one set uftcr another. Hence, tits notori
Gus that men hare lived in good style. for .
series of years. while engaged in the legal pro
cess Of evadipg their debts.
We desire 10 cut Oft all credit 10 such in
gruined rogues; make them either work or suf
fer. And as we honestly believe that the aboli
tion Of collection 1uws will lie the any effective
way Ia r=.;ch that large class Of Vampires, TT,
earnestly favor Mr. Ellnorc's bi'l, and iurthe
beleye th1t, if once adopted, its practical work
ings will be such ~ to commend its adoption Il
our aister States.
