" INSOLVENCY law.
SECOND VT. COMPANY Z. S. SHARP

A bill providing for Court. Of lnSOl-
vcncy in this State, has passed the Senate,
and i, now in the custody of the House.
We hope it will become a law. We be-
lieve that a law of this kind, containing
among its provisions an abolition of the
right to attach property on mesne process,
with the exception of those absc0ndlng
from the State, would in high degree
subscrve the best interests of our State.
Not long since, we heard it remarked by
a gentleman extensively engaged in bust
ness in New York, that the people of that
State could not live three months under
our attachment laws. Business men,
many Of whom operate with borrowed
capital are unwilling to risk their funds
here, where it is liable without a moments
warning to be locked up in the custody of
the law, the doors of their stores or facto-
ry closed III their faces, and themselves
left to mourn the folly of frequenting such
inhospital shores.
Again, in case of failure, the result will
be reached which has occasioned so much
discussion in this State, viz: the equal di-
vision Of the assets among the creditors.
The objection that this measure will
afford opportunities for fraud, and that
men will secure the benefits of the act and
still retain part of their property, does
not strike us torcibly. The present sys-
TEN Of putting funds in the pocket, invit-
ing an attachment, and then compromising
with creditors at a very low figure, affords
equal chances for dishonesty. We believe
such system would be a decided i'm
proyement in our law, which needs
amendment in no instance so much as this.
Our space torbids further comment at
present upon this important topic.-Mam-
chester JouruaI.

of most vital import to this country. Recent

occupying her American colonies has been deci-

~ been removed by the new administration from

ternoon, by Deputy Marshal E. W. Moore, Of
this city, charged With an attempt to defraud
the government.
The facts of the case are briefly these Col
Peyton, of the Pension Bureau, at Washington,
made the discovery, not long since, tina, large
number of affdavits supporting applications for
bounty land warrants had been distracted. He
Immediately set to work to ascertain the guilty
part, and was led to suspect Chase of having
taken part in the fraudulent transaction.
His suspicious at last became so much aroused
as to lead him to prefer a complaint against him.
A Deputy Marshal of the District of Columbia
was Immediately dispatched to this city, armed
with the complaint of Col. Peyton, where he ar.
rived yesterday evening, and having obtained a
warrant, placed it in the hands Of Deputy Moore,
who succeeded in efecting the arrest of the sus-

with his prisoner TO this city.

The Spaniards Ia 81. Domi"gO-An expla
nation Of the Recent Movement.

Mr.. James Redpath, of Boston, has long made
a study OF the affairs of the two governments
which divide the Island of St. Domingo. He
has resided in the island, and is nov officially
connected with the Republic of Hayti He
speaks with authority, therefore, on this subject,
and must be supposed strongly in the interests
of the islanders. lie gives the following expla.
nation Of the recent startling movement Of Spain
towards St. Domingo from which il would ap-
pear that there is little danger Of Spanish usur
patton:
"Since the independence of the Dominican
Republic two parties have divided and alternate.
ly governed it, whose representative men are
Santana and Baez, as the words Reunion and In.
dependence indicate their respective policies.
"Some years ago-what l say now is drawn
from Haytian official sources-Santana borrowe
a million of dollars from Spain. Failing to re-
pay it according to the terms OF the loan, he Of.
fered to give mortgage on the Custom Houses
Last summer, accordingly, small band of Span.
iards, not more than eighty in all, arrived At ST.
Domingo, and the three officials among them
imnled ately entered their duties al collectors
at the ptrts. The rest were mechanics. That
is all the emigration that has been sent to the
Dominican Republic by Spain.
"This policy OF Santana furnished the mafer.
al for creating an effective union among the op-
position t. his government See! he 10 sell.
ing the country TO the whites! Even a. early
as last December, revolutionary circulars and
prOclamations were in type in st. Domingo, and
a copy Of the proofs, know, were shown to a
distinguished Ambassador at Paris. But this
project was nipped in the bud and Baez is still
an exile. The intrigues of the opposition con.
tinuing and increasing, Santana has called for
aid-first in order to secure the perpetuity OF
his own government, and, secondly, to enable
him TO repay the loan.
"This, venture to say, is the sum total of
the whole hubbub that We hear from Havana
"There are various reasons why France will
never threaten Hayti-among them. these:
Z" She has recognized the independence of
Hayti; she draws large revenue from Hayt,
as her payment for recognizing that indepen.
dence;
"She is bound by treaty to defend Hayu
against all foreign attacks; and, lastly,
"She could not attack Hayti without first de-
clsring war against England.
81 have also official authority for stating that,
last January, England and France offered TO the
meditaters of treaty alliance and of defence be-
tween Hsyti and the Dominican Republic, BY
which the integrity of the territories of both
countries against all foreign powers, is guaran.
tied.
"The proposition was accepted commission
ers we're named to conclude the treaty and
when it is signed, France and England stand
pledged to enforce it,"

Fort Sumter is undoubtedly on fire. The
flames are raging all around it. Major Anderson
has thrown out a raft loaded with men, who are
passing up buckets of water to extinguish the
FIRE The fort is scarcely discernable. The men
on the raft are now objects of FIRE from Morris
Island. With glasses balls can be seen skipping
over the water, striking the unprotected raft.
Great havoc is created among the poor fellows
Ii is surmised that Major Anderson is gradually
blowing up the fort. He scarcely fires a gun
At halt past II O'Clock flames were bursting
from al the port holes. The destruction of Fort
Sumter is inevitable. Four vessels, two of them
large steamers, are in sight over the bar The
largest appears to be engaging Morris Island
The flames have nearly subsidized in Fort Sumter,
but Major Anderson does not fire any guns. Gen
Beauregard left the wharf just now in boa; for
Morris Island. The excitement, If anything, is
increasing.
