TIE BANKRUPT LAW.

with their debtors in the rebellious States.
They DO not lose sight Of that feature Of tbs
law which provides that no discharge shall be
valid if the bankrupt shall have been in arms
against the Government, or in any way aided
or abetted the Rebellion; but they think
that the difficulty of proving disloyalty
against those Southern baukrupts, whs
may avail themselves of the act, viii
be insurmountable. If there is any danger
of this sort il will be easy TO make that section
of the act little more sweeping. though the
exclusion from its benefits OF all who have
aided the Rebellion viii pretty we'll cover
those who have made the fact OF the Rebellion
the pretext for not paying their debts.

that he was at home, he exclaimed, Sarah, l
