without the faintest sympathy with Winter
nitz, whom we never before heard Of, and with
out the least desire that he should escape the
legal punishment Of his roguery-Clahin & Co.
have richly deserved to lose their goods; and we
don't at all admire being taxed to support q
legal operation which We presume is intended to
squeeze pay for them out Of their rascally Gus
toner and debtor.
Hero comes o stranger, from small, far
away village, who admits that he is worth but
81. 900, that he is already in debt $1,000. and
buys over sic, 900 worth of goods on credit of a
single jobbing house, and that house seems to
be amazed at his failure to pay for them. That
strikes us as the only natural feature of the
entire transaction. He had no right, on his
own showing, to any such credit, and they had
no moral right to give it. They had legal right,
We suppose, to give away or throw away their
goods; but. when they call on an overta1ed
community to pay the cost of this expensive
prosecution, why then, you see, tho case is
bravely altered
We have been frequently told that the
abuses and excuses of Mercantile Credit had
ceased-that the War had swept them away,
with the elcphant-load Of Southern mercantile
paper which it has consigned to tho waste
baskct-but this looks very unlike it. we
doubt that there were many more reckless
transactions even in high.Aying '36. Winter
ntz appears to be sorry knave; but Claim
L., H.
spirers and promoters of knavery. Ii any
citizen were to make a practice, on gong
to bed, of hanging his gold watch
and diamond studs Oh his street-railing and
pitching his pocket-bOOk out of his chamber
window to lie on his basement steps till morn
ing, we presume the police would soon tell him
that this eccentricity could not be allOwed-that
he must take better care Of his stealabes or they
must put them out of harms way. He might
plausibly urge that his door-yard was as much
part of his premises as his bedroom or his
bureau, and that, if he could trust his property
there, nobody else need borrow trouble concern
ing it; but the guardians Of the peace would
order him to shut up, and either act like ra'
tional being or be cared for as a lunatic.
Messieurs of the Senate! give us good
National Bankrupt Law! 1t is but step, yet
a step in the right direction. BY and by, we
shall consider whether it is right to tax
those who secure their pay down to support our
costly and cumbrous machinery for collecting
dcbts-three-fourths Of which should never have
been contracted.

THE GOODYEAR PATENTS.

A strong male and female lobby is now in
Washington working for second renewal OF
the Goodyear patents for Vulcanizing Caout'
chouc, otherwise known as India Rubber. These
patents have already been extended seven years,
during which several Millions have been made
out Of them at the expense OF the whole Amcri'
can People. The demand now ia, that several
Millions more shall 60 the same way; the excuse
that Mr.. Goodyear fooled away the fortune he
might and should have saved from il, and. dying,
left his family poor. But there is no evidence
that they will receive any considerable share OF
the proceeds, should the patents DO again re-
newed. The presumption is that those who have
taken the lions share thus far will continue to
do so to the end.
To-day, rubber shoes are selling for 50 pcr
pair. which could be afforded for 81 in the
absence of the Goodyear patents. Not dime
less than Twenty Millions Of Dollars extra have
been paid for Rubber Shoes in consequence of
those patents-that is Twenty Millions more
than they need or would have cost had such
patents never existed. The Goodyear inven-
tons have been well paid for; the patents are
about to expire; the People are just within a
hands-breadth of cheap Rubber goods; when
an attempt is made to put through Congress
bill to make them dear for seven years longer.
IL wont do, Messeurs.

scrutiny and approval. Under this state Of
facts, his brother Supervisors would at once
