DUTIES OF REGISTERS ~ BA,KRUPrcY.-
In his instructions to Registers in Bankrupt
cy, Judge Fox seiG that the present law was
materially different from the previous laws
upon this subject, and careful study of the
provisions of the law and the rules Of the SD
preme Cour. was necessary. Under the eor-
| mer laws mos. of the work was performed by
| the Court; under the present law the duties
of the registers would be severe; bat as the
compensation was liberal, he should REQUIRE
expedition in the settlement OF cases brought
before them. They would have the sole cha cge
of the cases until their Anal terra ma ion, ex-
cept when an issue of law saouid he -aised,
when the question would be submitted TO the
| Court for decision. He remarked tnat they
| were registers of the District Court and
would not be- confined ipAexibly to causes
origlna5:ng wrtfstn the several
congressional districts; but the Court would,

THgScHooL ExHIBITIoN.-The exhibition
Of District Schools Nos. l and 2 in Brad.
ford's Hall on Saturday night was n pccu.
mary success. The hall was crowded at an
early hour, and numbers were compelled to
stand out the performance. The stage was
decorated simply but effectively, and the
bright plumage of the women and the happy
faces OF the children, presented altogether an
agreeable scene. The children generally cx:
hibited clevcrness and fair discipline, and
really all the exercises by the W schools
were well given and entertained the audience
highly. It is not u pleasant task to find fault
with exhibitions Of the kind, but we believe
n little OF il will have u wholesome effect.
The exercises were not very we'll chosen,
and several Of them displayed bad taste,
to say the least. There was too much
love making after the manner OF men and
women, and none Of the sweet, delightful
and honest nonsense Of little boys and girls.
It was painful-indeed, 1t was shocking-to
witness pretty innocent little girls persona
ting a school for scandal" and illustrating
the i~nsincerity and Of fashionable
society. With the exception Of a solo, there
was no singing-none Of those delightful
concerts of sweet childish voices which are
the charm Of school exhibitions. This unac-
countable omission OF the most palpable
grace of childhood excited very general sur
prise. We hope the next exhibitors Of our
children will permit Clcopatra-Egypt's
"sublimcly naughty queen and Elizabeth
to lie quietly in their tombs, and not vex
little brains with thinking of their unloyely
lives. Trees and sunshine, flowers and birds,
and the good deeds Of noble men and women
these are delightful and unfailing sources
of beautifyipp the action of little children.

THE TRIAL OF JEFF. DAvIs-WHAr Hrs
COUNSEL WILL Do.-Jefferson Davis is ex-
pected to reach Richmond on Saturday, in
company with Charles O'Conner, one Of his
counsel. He will occupy his old quarters at
the Spotswood. His counsel, a. I indicated
some time ago, will object to his being tried
by Judge Underwood or q negro jury. One
reason why they object to Underwood, is that
the Rev. Paul Bagley, who visited Mr.. Davis
in Montreal last summer, saw Judge Under
wood on his return to Virginia, and he (Un-
derwood) said to him, "Well / hope you will
have nothing more to do with him-Davis. I
will have him convicted, confscate his lands,
sell them to the negroes ut fifty cents an acre,
and you can 90 down there and get a good
place to preach to them" Another cause Of
challenge stated by this counsel is the fact
that when Judge Underwood was before the
Judiciary Committee he was asked whether
JEFF. Davis could be convicted in Richmond,
and he is said to have replied that he could
pack a jury which would convict him, but he
could not be convicted otherwise. This was
before the Inauguration Of negro juries. I
understand his counsel will object to u negro
jury, first, because having such q jury will be
illegal and, second, because it is not posi-
BILE that any negro jury can be, in point Of
fairness or capacity, competent to try him.
II the court override the objections Of the
counsel and determine to try him by a negro
jury, his counsel will withdraw and leave the
prisoner tupo derorandum Richmond paper.

An American steam FIRE engine has been
received at Shanghai, China, and the Celes-
tails have had a ~torchlight procession in
honor Of its arrival. As steam FIRE engines
and torehlight professions are peculiarly
American institutions, it is reasonable to ex-
pect that John Chinaman will now drift into
the direction Of a FIRE department in the full
American style, and the Chinese "fre-
sharps," upon the occasion Of fires, will sur
mount their pig-sails with uncomfortably stiff
and heavy FIRE hats, and dofing their nankeen
sh~ort-gowns and tunies, will put on red shirts
and big-buttoned drab coats. Then visitings
and receptions will be next in order, and the
Celestial fremen Of Canton will make excur-
sions to Peking, and they win have torchligh.
receptions, and the Confucius Steam Forcing
Hose and Hook and Ladder Company will
receive their visiting brethren Of the Bohea
Steam Fire Engine Company and escort them
to their Hose house, where the visitors will
be entertained with Samshou and the bes,

EXODUS FROM ErRorE.-The Land Com
missioner at Washington has received a COM
munication from some parties in England,
As to inc pesr destination Of some hfty thou
sand emigrants who design leaving that
country to try their fortunes in this. We
learn that he has referred the applicants to
the Plains as the best point for a settlement.
That is very well. The country is wide
enough for all whom oppression or discon-
tent may send here. According to the late
returns Of the Land Office there are fourteen
hundred million acres Of public lands to be
disposed Of, and there are over seventeen
thousand miles Of railroad actually in con-
s.ruction, in the country at the present time.
Here is a magnificent chance for the immi-
grants Of half the Old Hemisphere to find
comfortable homes and good employment il
they are only willing to labor.

IT is reported that General Mcclellan,
upon his return to the United States, will
resume the practice Of his old profession,
engineering. 1t is said that in conversation
with his friends he expresses a desire to re-
turn to the active duties Of life, and says that
being still a young man he feels that he may
have an honorable future, outside Of politics.
This is a most sensible conclusion. Political
ambition was the rock upon which he spill,
at the beginning of his career, and it resulted
in his ruin. Elevated to a position he had
not the ability to fill, he was ut once snapped
up by a horde Of political wire-pullers who
needed a military man, and from the moment
he listened to their fattering tongues hi:
doom was sealed.
