The Bankrupt Law.

The passage of this law is to be hailed
with satisfaction by the nation. The gene
raj principle on which such law is
based is wise and humane. Debt Is a
heavy weight upon enterprise and indus
try, and when an honest man is freed
from 1t he gives to society the benefit of
his industry and enterprise with renewed
energy and hope. Imagine all such men
SO situated, relieved in this manner. we
see that the aggregate gain to business.
commerce, and industry from their united
capabilities and energies, thus revived and
stimulated, must be immense. This large
part Of the community being made AZ
much more contented and hopeful, society
feels the benehcent effects of the good be-
slowed upon class which embraces CON-
of the most useful and worthy citizens.
Men do not get into debt with bad ;ntsr
tions. They do not propose to fail or to de.
fraud people of their property. They in.
cur obligations in the prosecution of en-.
ierprises which they confidently believe
WILDE successful. disappointment, in the
larger number Of eases, does not come from
want Of forecaste, but from unforeseen
events. Especially Is this the case in this
country, with the general uncertainty
which marks affairs political, commercial,

From the Country.

A prominent and influential gentleman
Just from Halifax county, in this State, re-
ports that the people in that county and
Charlotte are in favor of convention,
and desire that it shall be called promptly.
In this there is great unanimity. They
will, he says, be greatly disappointed if
the Legislature adjourns without calling a
convention.
In harmony with this condition of pub
lie feeling on the south side, we have the
following letter by the last mail from Bed
ford:
"LIBERTY, Va, March 4, 1867.
ITO the Editors Of The Richmond Dispatch:
"At an informal meeting held here 10 day, al
which Judge q. A. Wingfeld, Micajah Davis,
acting presiding justice of our County Court
James +. johnson, our former Senator; l.. G.
Burkes, former member of House Of Delegates;
Hon William L. GogGin, and others were pre-
sent, assembled for the purpose of confering
with our Senator and members of the House
of Delegates as TO what step ought TO be taken
in reference to our National and State affairs:
The meeting was unanimous in the opinion
that convention ought to be called in Nir-
ginia to consider and determine what ought 10
be done, and to endeayor to make the best
terms possible, consistently with honor, for
the interests of the people of the State.
Hastily, yours, b."
We have not doubt that such will be
the general sentiment of Virginia within a
week. A large portion Of the people are
naturally somewhat undecided as to what
should be done but in short time there
will be very little difference of opinion
amongst them as to the propriety Of con-
vention. The common sense Of the coun-
try gentlemen and farmers, calmly reflect
ing in their quiet homes, removed from the
centres Of excitement and passion, will
inevitably lead to the conclusion that the
only mode Of protecting the State from
anarchy and ruin is for our own govern
ment and people to take control of the
matter. By SO doing the people Of Vir-
qinia act and retain the power and direc-
ton of public affairs; while if we adopt
the policy Of mastery inactivity" or
"dignified resistance" as some call it, the
proper constituent body will be set aside
and disfranchised, and harassed and OPP
pressed in manner never yet known in
this country.

MORE OATHs.-Mr. SUMNER gave notice
IN the Senate on Tuesday Of the follow
ing:
"Bill declaratory of republican form Of
government in the rebel States, and to
provide for the restoration of those States
to their practical relations in the Union.
"Bill to prescribe form Of oath to sus-
tain republican government in the rebel
States"
We suppose that as Mr.. SUMNER was un-
successful in advocating the passage Of
several similar measures during the last
Congress, he may be unable to force his
bills through this Congress. At any rate
we bave Governor PEIRPoINT's assurance
that Virginia may proceed under the
SHERMAN bill; and this assurance is also
a sufficient reply to those who argue that
the military are expected to call the State
Convention.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1867-03-07
The Question of the Convention.

! Inc $2ues ton OF the Convention
F.Abill for calling convention was re.
ported In the Senate of Virginia yesterday,
and wss under consideration for several
hours. Il was passed to its third reading
and made the order Of the day for to-day.
1t viii be found in the legislative proceed
ings.
This bill will pass the Senate BY An over
whelming majority, and we have not .
doubt will pass the House by decisive
vote. Every day the opinion that TINS
movement Is absolutely necessary, gathers
strength. The SHERMAN law itself leaves
no tolcrable alternative. This or ruin ana
degradation. And the daily communica-
it;ons from Washington show that the i'm
mediate calling Of convention gives Us
the only chance of protection from further
pains and penalties, and further disabili-
ties. SUMNER yesterday introduced into
the Senate test oath for the South; and
the day before the bill for the re-organiza-
ton of the Supreme Court was placed on
the calendar. New Radical members are
brought into the new Congress-men who
have not signalized their devotion to party
by any extreme proposition. They will be
quite eager to do so, and will probably ex-
hibit desire to 60 ahead Of the veterans
who have been so long reconstructing the
South.
We have some assurance, some reason
to hope, that by prompt action under the
SHERMAN law we may be protected from
any more violent measure. The more
conservative Radicals who combined to
pass the measure will hardly acquiesce in
the passage of one more rigorous while
the people Of this State are in the act Of
conforming to it. Furthermore, every
gentleman who has recently visited Wash
ington and held intercourse with members
Of the dominant party there declares that
they give the most emphatic assurances
that Virginia will be promptly admitted
into the Union upon acquiescing in the
SHERMAN law and constitutional amend
ment.
Should there be, however, enough OF
delay to form pretext to accuse Virginia
Of determination not to act at all, Con.
gress will, we doubt not, proceed to re.
newed measures for oppression, while sup.
ported and encouraged from Washington
the men known as "Loyalists" will them
selves give Virginia a convention and a
Constitution which will be accepted by
Congress-and mark this: when that Con-
stitution is framed it will exclude from
voting and from office every man who ever
served the Confederacy or sympathized
with it. In avoiding this dire calamity we
are but submitting to force-but capitu-
latiDg 10 " overwhelming numbers and re-
sources" as did General LEE at Appomat-
tox. Force offers two things: reconstruc-
tion by the people Of Virginia, or recon-
struction by the so-called "LoyalStS y

vorNo PLAoEs.-It is important that
there should be more voting places es-
tablished In all the cities and large towns
in the State. The number Of voters in this
city will be doubled under the operation
Of the SHERMAN bill; and it will be impos-
sible, or next TO impossible, for oil of them
to vote at the three places where the votes
are generally received. Besides, great
crowds have natural inclination to make
trouble and create disturbance. The Con-
stitution is not very clear on the subject.
II provides that cities and towns snail be
laid off into convenient wards, "and a
separate place Of voting" established in
each ward. The intention of this provision
is made plain from what the Constitution
adds-namely "And thereafter no inha-
bitant Of such city or town shall be allow
ed to vote except in the ward in which he
resides"
