United States, Notwithstanding the refusal
Of the Southern States to sanction the meas
ure. Virginia, l see, has already commenced
tho work of conforming herself to The mill
tary bill. All the seeded States will do
likewise. W..
What tho future may reveal on this conti-
mont, II Is not, Of course, in the power Of any
man TO predict with certainty. confess
that have no hope Of living to see are-con-
structiOn hereof suchsa government asonce
blessed and elevated us as o people; but
trust that Providence may SO control events
as to secure to the coming generations of our
posterity the blessings of real liberty, and
restore to them the principles for which the
men of '76 SO nobly struggled and which
they so gloriously established.
However the views above suggested, may
harmonize with your feelings, gentlemen, !
can, at least assure you that believe them
to DO correct. can see no other course to
conduct us through this dark and gloomy
hour. Nothing can be gained by inactivity
and pursuing the edo nothing policy" ad-
vocated by some Of our people. Much,
think, WILDE lost, if the teachings of such
men prevail.
At best, our fate is sad and desolate. Now
is the time for all Of us to manifest prudence
and fortitude, and show to the world that
we have, at least, the manhood TO suffer and
endure with decency and dignity, 1t is I'M
manly to despair and utter fruitless repin-
ings for misfortunes which having trans
pired, cannot, Of course be averted, but
which may be softened and rendered endur-
able by wise and calm action on our part.

Tho Question SetfIesI.

The New Orleans papers state that
Gen. Sheridan in forbidding the cleo
tions to be heldin that cityon Monday,
acted within the range of authority
conferred by the President himself
They state furthermore, as definitely
settling the question as to whether or
not the military bill. is to be executed,
that Gen. Sheridan has received an
official copy of General Order No.
10, Headquarters of the Army, Adju-
tant Generals Office" signed by Gen.
Grant and countersigned by Assistant
Adjutant Gen. E. D. Townsend, which
embodies "for the information and
government Of all concerned the re-
Gently enacted military bill, which bill
is declared to now be law in full
force

The IinnIlrupt law.

The Bankrupt Law is of so much
practical interest that we will publish
it at an early day. lis of very great
length. One OF its provisions is as
follows:
''In all proceedings in bankruptcy
commenced after one year from the
time the act shall go into operation,
no discharge shall be granted to a
debtor whose assets do not pay fifty
per centum of the claims against his
estate, unless the assent in writing of
a majority in number and value of his
creditors, who have proved their
claims, is filed in the case at or before
the time of application for discharge"
We suppose that Judges will pro-
coed to appoint registers, and the Su-
preme Court to prescribe rules, SO as
to put the law into operation without
delay.
