SINGULAR CUsT0Ms.-A singular custom pre-
wallis in the lower counties of this State and on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The credit sys-
TEN prevails there to an almost limited extent,
aud collecting Is SO difficult that the business has
become one TO which certain men devote them
selves exclusively, collecting bills at regular
commission; In other places of course there
are men who follow collecting as business and
collect bad bills, but in portions of the Peninsula
many merchants calculate ON putting nearly all
their accounts In the hands of n collector.
This difficulty In collecting and the extensive
credit business done give rise to the custom, prey
alent all through Southern Delaware and Eastern
Maryland, of storekeepers advertising both in the
local papers and by hand bills That all persons in
debted to them on book account are requested to
call and make immediate payment, and frequent
ly notifying their customers that the bills of all
who do not do so by a certain date will be placed
in the hands of collector. After thatthreat has
been executed the first notice is frequently sup
plincnted by notice that If these called ondo not
pay they will be proceeded against according to
law. Singular us it may seem these apparently
violent measures are accepted by the creditors as
mere matter of course, and frequently have the
effect OF bringing in goodly quantities of money.
Many other accounts are allowed to run with
out the least idea of settlement the merchant buy
ing grain and produce of the farmer and selling
him store goods for years, and only casting up
accounts with n view to u final settlement when
one or the other of the parties dies and then the
survivor generally effects settlement with the
.l..,.. 4. r. a. 4
Another expedent resorted to by some who de-
sire to collect the bills due them is to quit bust
ness and devote themselves exclusively to such
collection, after they have made all the collections
it is possible to make they then as general thing
resume business, continue for some time, and
then sell ont again and so on dd infniium.

mere pittance to reach California. He
now asked that they be allowed the

From washington.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Judge Shark
ey and Hon. Robert J.Walker appeared
in the Supreme Court this morning on
behalf of the State OF Mississippi The
former rose to submit bill of COM
plant and prayer that President john
son and his officers and agents, and es-
pecially General Ord, be perpetuRlIy
enjoined and restrained from executing
the act to provide for a more efficient
government of the rebel States, and the
act supplementary thereto, and that
powers of injunction and subpoena be
issued AMI directed to the parties afore-
said, with any other relief that the
Court may deem proper.
Judge Sharkey remarked that he be-
ieved the bill had been printed.
Attorney General Stansbury said he
believed il was the general practice to
obtain leave of the Court TO file a bill.
This bill was against the United States,
and he desired to appear at the earliest
possible moment against il. He re-
peated, there must be a motion TO file
the bill in the regular way.
Judge Sharkey replied that it was a
motion which he had never made. He
was aware of the magnitude of the SUBJ
iect, involving as it does the impor-
tant and delicate question of the Con
stitutionality of Congressional legisla-
ton. 1t was of great moment that an
yediscussion should be arrived at,
as much mischief might result by delay.
Chief Justice Chase to Judge Shar-
key-You can only now move to file
the bill, and it will be in order to dis
cuss the next meeting day.
Attorney General Stansbury-I am
ready now to resist the granting of
leave to the Chief Justice. We don't
propose to hear argument on motion,
out ofits regular order. The motion
will be filed.
Judge sharkey-I will now file the
application.
This he did, and the question went
over until the next motion day, next
Friday.
