WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IA, 1864.

A BANKRUPT LAw.-The subject OF
National Bankrupt law is at present un.
der consideration IN Congress. a Dill
was brought before that body last year
tot failed to receive much attention.
There is undoubtedly III the minds OF
The community feeling Of opposition
TO a law OF this kind. In the 2'th Con
sress, or that of 1871, which was a wing
Congress, u National Bankrupt law was
passed. Mr.. Clay was then in the sen
ate and advocated the passage OF the
law with all the.eloquence of which ne
was capable. "When, said he, VI see the
prison door opening and afiording light
and hope to the unfortunate inmate, l
will not be the man TO shut itagain and
leave him in despair and darkness.
The law doubtless afforded relief to
many honest men, but IT also gave OPP
'portunity to many that were dishonest
10 put their property out OF their hands
and cheat their creditors out OF their
honest dues. One of the first acts of
Democrats when they again came into
power was to repeal this law, and we
believe nothing of the kind has since
existed upon the national statute books.
The New York Times, in long article
upon this subject speaks as follows:
ITO Justify the demand for a bank
rupt law, we need go no further than
the commercial revolution which neces'
sarily followed the revolt of the South.
ern States. By that revolt our loyal
merchants in the north lost no less than
three hundred million dollars. New
York City alone lost much more than
half this amount. And even secondary
cities like Boston, Baltimore and Phila.
delphia We're losers to the tune of from
seventeen to twenty-five millions each
1t is not possible, perhaps, to show &C,
curately the number of honest, fair-deal'
ing and prudent business men that WERE
made insolvent by the rebellion and thu
rebel confscation laws, which involved
this sacrifice of property. But it ha
been estimated-and we think the esti
mate is not excessive-that out of the
one hundred and twenty-five Thousand
northern traders who now ask the rellel
which only the bankrupt law can afford
at least one-half were reduced to insoly
ency by the rebellion. Whatever, then
NAV be the abstract views which mem
bers of the national legislature cherish
as to insolvent or bankrupt measures o
relief, we say that the class of traders
who have been the victims of rebel con
fscation laws, and whose insolvency Ii
clearly due thereto, have right to de
mand instant and favorable action. i
is outrageous that thousands of The
most upright and loyal citizens Of the
North should be prevented from prose
cutting their business because Davis anc
his fellows onspirators have seized theil
property and spent it in drenching the
land with blood. If there is Congress
sional majority in the present Hous'
stolidly indifferent to the wisdom o
legislating for the relief Of honest debt
ors generally, it surely might be expect
ed that the class of insolvents to whicl
we refer, and who form so considerabl
a proportion of those who ask for relic
would not make their appeal in vain"

The CoSsTITuTIoNAL ABOLITION OF
SLAvERY.-Washington correspondence
says that it is asserted that several of the
Mcclellan members from the Border and
Central States will go for the Constitu-
stional amendment, with reasonable
compensate onto loyal owners, and some
might do so with proviso that the
freedmen shall not become citizens or
electors of States contrary TO State laws
1t is believed that compensation cannot
pass in any form.

EXCHANGE OF PRIsoNERs.-The ex-
change of prisoners, which was broken
off at Savannah a short time ago, is now
progressing as rapidly as practicable in
Charleston harbor. In consequence OF
this, and in accordance with arrange

ment of the city of Charleston has been
temporarily suspended, and will not be
resumed until the exchange is concluded.
The bombardment ceased on Sunday
morning, the 4th inst, and the opera
lions Of transferring prisoners soon al

three weeks would be required to com

hFYRE AT L5DLow.-The Congrega-

with the principal managers, we have
no hesitation in predicting that the pro-
posed levee will be q splendid affair.

THE WBATHBR.-The week ending Sa5-
urday Dec 10, was with the exception Of
Saturday remarkably mild and pleasant.
We heard of farmers ploughing in st.
Johnsbury, somebody making sugar in
the vicinity of St. Adams, clover bios
soming in New Bedford, Mass, and con-
siderable philosophizing about our eli
mate undergoing a change, and the SUI
perabundant cold of the North spread
ing over the South. Within the last
few days, however, a change has come
over the spirit Of these dreams While
it has been intensely cold at the South
1t has been equally so at the North.
Everybody speaks of It. Tenants have
all at once made the discovery that the
houses they live in are miserably cold,
and they can hardly keep anything,
either animate or inanimate, from freez-
ing. There is II great difference in
hGuses, but that must be remarkable
