BANKRUPT "A petition is now in circulation in
New York advising Congress to pass a general
bankrupt law.
What they call general bankrupt law Is
contained in single provision that every person
who is discharged under an insovent law OF any
of the States shall, the yeri6caon of iIat fact
before any Federal court, be declared bankrupt
and forever exempt and discharged from all his
debts contracted before said discharge
These people have the strangest notion oftheir
own constitution Their Congress has the power
to pass a uniform law of bankruptcy, and they
propose to execute it by enacing that there may
be as many bankrupt laws there are States
which choose to pass them and that every State
may be subject to the operation not only of its
own, but of every other which may be passed by
any other State,-N. o. Pic0yHne
