THE BANKRUPT ACT Having complete

embraces not only The bankruptcy Of individuals
and partnerships, but, by the 37th section, the
provisions of the law are extended over. all

and Joint stock companies. All these bodies,
like individuals, may be forced into bankrupt

whenever they shall cvade the service OF legal
process, cor shall conceal or remove any OF
their property to avoid its being attached,
taken, or scquestered On legal process, or shall
make any assignment, gift, sale, conveyance, or
transfer Of their estate, property, rights or
credits, either within the United States or else
where, with intent to delay, deiraud or hinder
their creditors, or when, being bankrupt or IN
solvent, or in contemplation OF bankruptcy or

Or suspended, and net resumed payment OF his
commercial paper within fourteen days. -
When such person OF corporation is declared
bankrupt, the assignee may recover back, the
money or property 50 paid, conveyed, sold or
assigned contrary to the act, and the creditor
participating in the fraud is excluded from all
dividends out Of the bankrupt estate
These provisions against dishonest dealings
by individuals and corporations seem to be very
comprehensive and complete, and to make every
reasonable provision against the corrupt prac-
tees OF trade, which have done SO much to con-
found the guilty with the unfortunate. Here
after it will be impossible for q corporation,
bank or Individual to stop or suspend payment,
and defy creditors At the expiration of four
teen days dishonora3 commercial paper must be
met, Or the bankrupt assignee will prevent the;
preparation Of further mischief, the wasting OF
assets, and will take from the o.willing friend
who has been accessory to false credit all the
c0latcrals with which he has hedged round his
own safety at the expense of others. -Bnlt'-

asserted that he had no doubt that there were

CONGRESS- the Senate, on Saturday,

cessary to egalize the election that the States

constitutions that at all elections by the people
the voting shall be by ballot. An amendment
was also adopted changing the oath contained
in the first section of the bill An amendment
was offered by Mr.. Sumner providing for the
establishment of system Of free schools, but
was rejected. The bill was then passed, by a
vote of yeas 3S, nays 2-Mr. johnson, of Mary
