The First Case of Bankruptov.

", Now York Itscts forth that the petition.

in the sum of s923.l0; that defendants are
bankrupt, owing debts to the amount of $780,
ooo; that defendants have executed a ollatte
mortgage to the Essex and Lake Chaniplaip
Ore ana Iron Company, covering property to
tncsamount of $4,000, contrary to the pro.
visions of the Act of Congress, approved
March 2, 1867, entitled can Act to establish
a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout
the United Statcs;' that defendants also,
contrary to the same Act, made arrangements
whereby one Henry B. Moore should make
execution OF Judgment against them of S25..

lar, since the law was framed to benefit debt
ors rather than creditors, that this first case
should be one of involuntary bankruptcy.-
that is, one where the creditor, instcad of the
debtor, claims the protection of the courts. Il
shows that the law is advantageous to honesty
on both sides. it not only relieves the en-.
barrasscd bankrupt from the rapacity of his
creditors, but it equally protects the creditor
from the rascnlity of his debtor, and secures
an equitable division of the assets of the.bnnk.
rnpt 1t is thought by eminent lawyers that
the existence of this law will do away with a
large proportion of our civil suits. Itswill

Confisoation restitution.

we invite the attention of loyal leaguers
and others, who are filling the heads of the
freedmen with tho absurd idea of confiscation
and division of lands, to the extract following,
copied from the Courior," published in tho
city Of Buffalo, New York. They will find in
it food for reflection, and perhaps that which
will help to dispcl the immense amount of ig-
norancc mixed up With the terrible bugboar of
confscation:
The Interpretation Of laws in accordance
with judicial standards is destined to render
null and void nearly all the radical schemes
for vengeance upon the Southern people,
Since the close of the war, there has been con-
siderable mild confiscation of the property
of men engaged in the late rebellion. dcorced
by such Judges as Picrpont Bustced and
others of their class. These coniscations and
sales arc understood to have been very profita.
bic to the spectators ut whose instance the
proceedings have been instituted, and it is
suspected that the Judges have not been in
nocent of gains in connection with them. 1t
is now in effect decided that these confiscatory
proceedings are void. In the case of an an
plication for writ of error to secure the pos
session of property condemned to conliscation,
Chief Justice Chase has granted it on the
ground that a condemnation Of property as for
treason cannot take place until the party has
been adjaasea guilty b. jury; and further,
that the condemnation and sale of the abso.
Lutte estate are in excess of the constitutional
power of the court. The "Ncw York Times
| remarks that this action of the court will
probably prove tho precursor of not little
litigation. The amount of property conisca-
ted while the rebellion was in progress was
very large, and in every instance, we appre-
hcn', the errors noticed by the Chief Justice
were committed The property was sold with.
out any trial for treason, and it was sold in
fee, when life interest was nh that could
have been disposed of, even after conviction.
Conliscation titles arc worse than Western tax
titles, which arc among the poorest Of sccn.
