ed from the Radical storm. If we stay
out much longer, we shall have conhs-
cation added to negro suffrage. There
we have at least reached resting place
There we can get control of our State
atfairs--there we can make another
State Constitution.
From The Charlston Is. C) Mercury.
In our judgmen. any military rlgor-
any coerced submission to any TERMS
is preferable to the voluntary debasement
and ntamy, and the permanent, irretrlev.
able ruin the Southern States will incur
by adopting the forms of this bill.
From The Wilmington (N C.) Dispatch.
What then shall we dos We must
do nothing. We must get so that we
will not care a continental whether
school keeps or not.
From The Memphis Tcnn,) Avalanche
The man among us who tavOrs this
Military bill is an enemy to the people
among whom he lives, and the man who
recognizes or encourages its advocates
with his patronage or his smile, is no
better than the Radical scoundrels who
are seeking to rob us of liberty, and to
make us the abject slaves of the most
unprincipled tyrants that ever disgraced
the earth.
From The Central Georgian.
Hard as our fate seems to be, we can
only counsel forbearance and modera>
ton, until such time when return
of a sense of justice in our oppressors,
may prompt them to repair the wrong
they are now inlicting upon us.
From The Atlanta (aa.) Daily.opinon
Let US learn one lesscn-the course OF
Abolitionism has been onward, day by
day, ever since the Government was
formed, and in no single year has it
made greater strides than IN the one
last past. To our mind it has long been
plain, that If we did not vote the negro
they would.
From the Memphis Bulletin.
However 1t be, the Southern people
must mantully endure, and be able TO
say that which Francis |. wrote to his
mother after the disastrous battle Of
PaviA: "AU is lost except honor"
From The MaconHda) New Era.
The only good reason for not appeal
ing to arms in this conjuncture is the
hopelessness of success.
From The Baltimore Sum-
To call this bill, then, measure
which tends to the restoration OF the
Union, or which holds out hope of
restoration, is to miscall opposltes-to
liken destruction to creation, injustice
to Justice, tyranny 10 right, proscrip-
ton and persecution to bro,hcrly love
From The Columbus (Ga,) Sun.
We say, submit to what cannot be
averlel, but take no part in the attempt
to fix upon ourselves everlasting dis,
grace and degradation.
THE GENERAL BANKRUPT LAW
SYNOPSIS OF THE LEADING FEAT
URES.
The jurisdiction In bankruptcy cases
is gwen by the act to the several Dis
trict 9 urts of the United States, with
the Urltcd Safes Circuit Conrt acting
in u supervisory capacity as Courts of
Equity. The Judges of the District
Courts will be assisted in the pertorm-
ance OF their duties imposed upon them
by registers in bankruptcy, who are re
quired to be counsellors OF those courts,
or of some of the Courts of Record or
their several States. The power OF the
II gisters is limited, and provision is
made for reference OF disputed questions
to the District Court Judges, and for
appeals from the District Courts to the
Circuit Courts, and from the latter, in
cases where the matter in dispute shall
exceed two thousand dollars, to the Su-
preme Ccult of,he United States.
There are two kinds of bankruptcy
contemplated by the act voluntary and
involuntary. In the former any person
residing within the Jurisdiction of the
United States, owing over three hund-
red dollars, and finding himself insol
vent, may apply by petition to the judge
of the district in which he has resided
for the Blk months preceding the date
Of tho petition, or for the longest period
during such six months, and shall there
upon be declared bankrupt. The
creditors, havirg been properly notified
by the court, meet together and appoint
ore or more assignees of the estate of
the debtor: the choice to be made by
the greater part in value and in number
of the creditors who have proved their
debts, or in case of failure to agree,
then by the District Judge, or where
there are no opposing creditors, by the
Register. The whole affairs of the
bankrupt pass into the hands Of the as
signees, who have full powers granted
them necessary for the collection of all
debts and the final adjustment and
closing up of the estate. Stringent reg.
ulations are made for the proper deposit
and safe keeping of all moneys received
from the estate; and where delay is
likely to occur from litigation in the
final distribution of the assets the court
is empowered to direct their temporary
investment. The bankrupt is liable at
all times to be called up for examination
on cath upon all matters relating to the
disposal or condition of his property or
to his business transactions, and for
good cause shown his wife may in like
manner be compelled to attend IS wit
ness IN the case.
