The Bankrupt Law and the Stay Law Of Virgini
The remark made by the National Intcl-
genccr, and copied into other papers, that "the
passage of the Bankrupt act of Congress had
put an end to all Homestead and Stay Laws, /"
has created much depression and uneasness on
the part of the debtor class, and equal :atisfac-
ton and 10y TO the bond holders.
To correct The misrepresentation that exists
on this subject, it may be well to say to your
readers that the primary object of the act of
Congress was to relieve a large class Of men
who are hopelessly ruined by the late war, by
letting them surrender to their creditors all
that they have, and taking fresh start in the
world. This is voluntary Bankruptcy, and, of
course, no stay law would apply to such cases.
The other provisions for Mv0lunta1y Bank
ruptcy only refer to those who have committed
frauds, left the country, Or done some act
in violation Of honesty and good faith and
docs not in any wise affect the honest debtor,
whatever the amount Of his debt may be-
Our existing stay laws and homestead laws
will therefore, remain in full force, unless the
Court of Appeals decide against them.

is organizing its forces into six flying columns,
for the pursuit of the scattered bands of fe
mans, and active service in case necessity should
arise. The band of Fenans recently encamped

not proclaim martial law in Ireland, but will
try the Fenians by special commission

4 SUSPECTED SIANDEREE The New Al
bany (Ipd. Ledger says that great excitement
prevailed in Grecncastlc last week, over the
attack Of Mrs. Ward on lawyer named j.
A. Scott, whom she charged with circulating
slandcrous stories about her. Accompanied
by her brother, who held a revolver against
Scott's head, she stopped him in the street,
dashed bottle OF vitrio! in his face, probably
destroying his sight, and then cowhidcd him
severely. The public sympathy generally sides
with Mr. Scott, the assault being regarded as
brutal in the extreme, while it is thought that
the victim is innocent Of the charge preferred
against him.

fair. TWAS resolved sthat the tguer-

vices ought to be bored for the

Political Aspect OF the City Election
sA A word to Republicans. a

1t is well for every Republican vo-
ter to consider the issues at stake in
the coming City and Township cleo
tons. 1t must not be forgotten that
we are approaching most important
national contest. The party will
be called upon to repair the loss &C.
casioned by the treachery of one of
our own trusted leaders. The Presi-
dental canvass of 1868 is already as.
Stunning shape. The opposing parties
are preparing for the contest. The
result of every city election to be held
this Spring will be heralded as an
omen of the future; and as it
strengthens and encourages our par
.ty, SO it will depress and tend to dis
organize the other.
The interests at stake for the Re-
publican party of Evansville and
Vanderburgh County in our local
elections are very great Fort first
time in period of twenty years, there
is good prospect for the election of
an anti Democratic Congressman. The
First District has been so constituted
that by hard and compact organization
and faithful adherence to the party we
may be able to Danish from Washing.
ton our present Rebel-sympathizing,
Copperhead Representative, and send
in his place a loyal and true man. By
the new Apportionment Act, Wander
burgh County has increased her rem
resentation in the General Assembly
to one Senator and two Representa-
tives. The control of this. District
and this county is with the Republi-
can party, if the Union men of Evans
vile are awake, to the Importance Of
7 ito and will but do their full
duty - on Monday next. II
we can carry this city and
Township by decided majority over
the Independent, the 8 no party
men, the Copperheads, it will SO de-
moralize our opponents that they
cannot make a serious fight against
us, under whatever phase of politics
they may again organize. But, if by
our Indifference, internal discussions
or. by the treachery of q few, the
Union ticket is defeated gor only zob.
tains partial triumph, it will infuse
new life into the now almost defunci
