From the Port Gibson Standard
ExecMtiOms and Forced Ssnles.

There seems to be a disposition
among some of the swiftest and greed.
lest creditors to take advantage Of the
interem between the passage Of the
Bankrupt Law and the opening of the
federal courts for its enforcement, to
force sale of the property and assets
of their debtors, and thus defeat the
spirit and object Of this law. There
are very view debtors who can pay all
their creditors, every cent Of princi-
pal and interest. Their debts were, in
many instances, contracted before the
war, under very different prospects and
circumstances from those which lie
before us, and surround us now. Con
gress, though ungenerous and unjust
in some things, has seen and admitted
this great fact, and with an eve to the
interests of northern men, who are,
more than anybody else, affected it by,
have sought to equalize all creditors,
by q general Bankrupt Law. Our
Legislature by vote almost unani-
nous, sought, in 1865, to stay legal
proceedings to limited period; but
our Supreme Court, having an eye on
ly to our old State Constitution
which forbids "delay" in s.justice,"
put down our celebrated "Stay Law"
Our Constitution has since then been
declared by Congress ''invalid," and
provisional only" and the people re-
quircd to "make new one" There
is therefore no reason now why even
our courts, much less the government
authorities of the United States, should
refuse to carry out the will of the peo
pie as expressed by the Legislature,
except that our courts are still acting
under the old Constitution of this
State. General Sickles, commanding
the District of North and South
Carolina, has by an order which
meets universal approval all over the
North and the South, stayed all legal
against debtors for twelve
months. This will give debtors in his
District achance to raise and sell one
crop and either pay or compromise
heir debts, and if they fail in this they
IAN then pay all their creitors a pro
alta according TO the Intentions of the
Bankrupt Law, which object will be
defeated if the plan of forced sales be
PERSISTED in, as has already commenc-
d, at immense sacrifice, in yarious
'ortions of this State. Jeh
We therefore ask the attention of
he distinguished gentleman and sol
Ter who commands this District to
hese facts,and hope he will find it con-
istent with his views of duty, under
he unlimited discretion reposed in him /
y Congress, and by the Commander
l-Chief, to grant our people the re-
pite of at least one year. And within
nat time we hope to see our new a
tate Government and relations with !
he federal government in full and =
onted operation, and new era of y
opened before the whole S

The public have seen correspon-
dence between Gen. Grant and a
District Commander that the opinion
of the Attorney General, has been re-
quired, and will soon be declared, in
regard to the DISTINGUISHING clause OF
the Reconstruction Bill. This au-
thoritive exposition Of the law viii
become the guide of Registrars in
determining who are qualified to vote.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Commercial Advertiser
writes, May LIST, that the opinion of
the Attorney General will put a stop
to the prescriptions of General Sheri-
dams Registration Boards in Louis
lana, by which nearly every white
citizen has been excluded from the
polls. The Attorney General insists
that every doubt must go in favor of
the citizen, view which is in accord
ance with the acknowledged principles
of common law and common justice.

The much-talked-of rules and regu-
lations of the Supreme Court relative
to the bankrupt law win appear in the
form of a manual of practice for the
use Of attorneys and registrars, SINH
lar in character to the existing manual
for equity practice. The document
will be a book of two hundred pages,
made up chiefly Of forms. The first is
now going through the press, the copy
being supplied from day to day, as the
court has fixed no time for preparing
it A strong effort is making to com
plete the work, so that it can be sub
mitted to the full bench for approval
or revision by the middle Of May.

HARD TIMEs.-The New York Her
aid has the following:

A rather gloomy feeling prevails
among mercantile. men, and the pros.
pect is against any but a very light
revenue from the income tax this year.
Many Of our leading merchants and
wholesale and retail dry goods dealers
who returned large incomes last year,
are this year returning ''no income"
for merely nominal profits, and the
personal property tax in this and 9th
er States will also yield much small
er amount than it did in 1865 or 1866.
In this city, and in Wall street partic-
ularly, the shrinkage will be very con
spicuous. Economy is rapidly becom-
ing the order of the day among private
individuals, and the "city fathers" will
soon be compelled to economic like
wise.

The tide OF emigration has set In
heavily from Europe to the United
States. A correspondent of the Her
aid gave information few days since
that steamers filed with emigrants had
left Cork about the time his letter was
written. Others were awaiting trans
portation. This was from one port
only, while an equally active emigra-
ton was going on by way OF Liverpool,
Londonderry, Southampton and the
German ports. On, Saturday last the
steamer Minnesota arrived at New
York with over one thousand passen-
gers, having left Liverpool on the 18th
and Queenstown on the 10Th inst,
and made an excellent passage. The
Kangaroo also arrived same day from
Liverpool with six hundred emigrants,
and the America, of the German mail
steamship line, with several hundred
more. During the week ending the
18th of April nine steamers sailed from
Queenstown for the United States,
bearing nearly 5000 emigrants. Nine
steamers were also to be despatched
by the various trans-a atlantic lines ey-
cry week thereafter. From Germany
the reports are that great emigration
to the United States has also begun.
Partly owning to the political con-
dition Of the Southern States, and
partly to the absence of organized
effort on the part of their authorities,
but few of these new corners will
make their homes in this section, not
withstanding the superior inducements
which it offers in the way of soil, eli
mate, and indeed every natural re-
source.

Freedman's Meeting in South
Carolina.

Besides the meetings which have
taken place in this city, there have
been others held recently in various
Districts of the State 1t is highly
gratifying to see the spirit manifested
at all of these meetings-that of a
perfect accord between both white and
colored who attend them, and take oc-
casion to express their views. The
intelligent colored men who assume
the leading part in these political
movements, especially in this State,
all seem to be convinced that the true
policy of the newly enfranchised vo-
tiers is to act with the white men OF
their own section; while the latter
feel equally convinced that not only
policy but interest demands that all
the rights and privileges conferred mp
on the freedmen by the laws of the
country should not only be respected,
but sustained and protected, both in
the letter and spirit Of those laws

The SOUTHERN METHODIST CHURCH.
Some time ago vote was taken in the
various Conferences of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, upon two
propositions :. that the name of the
Church should be changed, and that
there should be lay representation in
the various On Conferences. Returns
from all the Conferences were receiv-
ed at Richmond, and the result is an
nounced by an official Council of
Bishops. With regard to a change of
name, 1853 of the clergy voted for it
in the Conference, and 400 against it.
On Lay Representation the yeas were
1899 and the nays 371. The condi-
tions of the election were that three
fourths of the whole number Of votes
cast should be necessary to amend the
constitution of the Church, so that the
proposed change of name was lost.
Lay representation was, however, car
ried, and will hereafter be observed in
the Southern Methodist Church.

Commenting upon Thad Stevens
recent letter threatening wholesale
measures of confiscation against the
South, and the apprehension which it
has awakened in the minds of many
of our people, the New York Herald
says I: @
No doubt the late doleful growl of confis-
cation from the remorseless Stevens will
tend somewhat to increase these southern
apprehensions of worse things yet to come
than negro suffrage; but let the Southern
people in good faith meet the conditions be-
fore them, and Northern public opinion win
secure fair play from Congress. There need
be no fear upon this point. G
