We have always regarded the enactment
of National Bankrupt Law-one contcm-
plating and providing for every case of in
solvcncy-as among the most important and
imperative duties Of Congress. The ex-
press authority for such enactment embodied
in the Federal Constitution is a virtual direc-
tion 10 cnact-in fact, little less than Il posi-
tive demand. The provision that Congress
shall have power levy and collect duties,
"imposts, and exciscs,' means more than
that Congress muy raise revenue--it not
only conters power, but imposes obligation.
And so, in our view, does the express grant
of power 'to establish uniform laws on the
"subject of bankruptcies throughout the
"United States" Rights involve duties.
There was never an hour within our recol-
lection when we would not have heartily
voted for a National Bankrupt Law, if only
to check and moderate the tendency to en-
cessiye and improvidcnt credits whereby the
business of this country is so generally bloat-
ed and tainted. Nowhere else do the temp
tations TO commercial gambling require such
vigorous counteraction. But the extra
stimulus given to every form of mercantile
excess by our present inflated, ill-o'-wisp
Currency gives double emphasis to every
argument for Bankrupt Law. Where six
or eight spectators in national falsehood,
gathered in secret conclave, may make gold
scarce or plentiful, cheap or dear, as they
shall Judge most profitable to themselves,
and thus diminish II not destroy other mems
ability 10 pay their debts, il is the height of
injustice and cruelty to leave unfortunate
debtors forever in the tolls to which their
own inexpcricnce and others craft have con
signed them.
The Senate, il is said, will soon take up
and act on Mr.. Jcnckcss House bill estab-
fishing National system of proceedings in
bankruptcy.
We trust this action may be prompt and
decisive for we are sure ii cannot be ad-
verse to the prayers for relief of the tens of
thousands now struggling and suffering in
the bondage Of Indebtedness which they can
never pay, and forbidden to earn by the
knowledge that every dime will be snatched
away by rcmorseess creditors before they
can grow it into dollar.
We shall be sorely, grievously disappoint-
| ed if this Congress shall blast the confident,
cheering anticipation, of its enactment of II
Bankrupt Law.

THE FOLLOWING is telegram from Wash
ingtoR, published in the newspapers of Sat
urday. 1t needs explanation -
during the debate on Thursday last,
Senator salisbury, of Delaware, and Senator
Reyerdy johnson, of Maryland, both gave
the gratifying assurance that the authorities
of their respective States would interpose to
enforce the ciyil-rights bill. Senator Sauls-
bury distinctly declared that number OF ne
groes had been convicted of crime since the
passage of the civil-rights bill, but, on ac-
count of the existence of that bill, had mol
yet been sentenced and that the Governor
Of the State, the Senator'S own brother, had
recommended the passage of a law to carry
out the provisions of the ciyil-rights bill.
Now the statement of Senator salisbury
may have been misunderstood, but whether
II was or not. the omission to sentence the
convicted negroes has not been on account
of the existence of the Civil Rights Bill
Immediately upon the announcement by the
Secretary Of State, that the amendment
abolishing slavery had become part of the
Constitution, the Superior Court of this State
ceased to pass sentence upon negroes, con-
victed of penal offences. The penalties pro
vided by Delaware law for negroes are whip
ping, fine, imprisonment, and sale into
slavery. Judge Gilpin decided that in pass
ing sentence he must adjudge the whole OF
the penalty provided or none at all, and that
the portion prescribing sale into SLAYER.

Special Correspondence n The Daily Commercial
DOVER, Jan. sth, 1867.
The Legislature reasscmbled this morning.
The Senate having no business before ii adj
journcd until this afternoon. In the House,
several divorce bills were presented and re-
ferrcd to the Committee ON Divorces, of
which Mr.. Frame, of Sussex, is chairman
This Is hut the commencement Of legislation
on this subject. Heretofore this has been
the ground of much just complaint and il
was hoped that the present Legislature in
this respect would differ from lis prcdeces-
sors. The question of divorce is one justly
belonging to the Courts; and the Legislature
should refuse to turn itself into Court OF
Inquiry. admit there are cases where leg
islative interference is wairantablc, hut they
are rare; and our Legislators should cease
consuming their time and wasting the money
Of the people, BY hearing divorce cases.
They are sent here TO make laws, not divorce
people.
Ii is amusing TO hear the reasons assigned
for divorce. One alleges the jealous DISPOSE
ton OF her husband, while another thinks

mentioned for the offices, though no one has
been agreed upon in caucus. Samuel Jeiler-

There are no preparations being made for
the Inauguration next Tuesday and from
all present appearances, there will not be
many strangers present. The Governor will
hold no reception. The ladies of the town
intend giving I'm entertainment the night
preceding the Inauguration. As the ar
rangcmcnls are in hands of an energetic and
competent committee, il will doubtless he n

THE FOLLOWING, from the Philadelphia

THE FOLLOWING, from the Philadelphia
Erening Bulletin, is just as pertinent and
valuable applied to Delaware as it is in re-
ference TO Pennsylvania -
1t cannot he too much impressed upon
superintendents, school-directors, teacncrs
and parents that the future progress and
prosperity Of Pennsylvania depend more
upon the education OF her children than upon
any other single cause, ant. while there
should he liberal legislation u, extend the
sphere anu elevate the standard Of public
education, there should also be increased at
tention to the necessity OF bringing every
child in the commonwealth within its actual
influence. There is gradual, but very slow
advance in this direction, and it is to be hoped
that all concerned will unite in giving in
creased acceleration to this most Important
cause"

rHApDEUs STEVENS.

Pennsylvania will elect L. S. Senator, in
place of Mr.. Cow, n, next Tuesday. Only
three names are now very prominently men
toned for the position, though others may
come into consideration under certain con-
tingencies. The three gentlemen are Thad-
deus Stevens, Governor Curtin. and Simon
Cameron.
There are strong indications in favor ofthe
election of the first named, and every day is
adding to the confinement of the people OF
Pennsylvania that he should be chosen.
The reasons as they occur to us, are -
/. Mr.. Stevens long life of faithful service
in behalf of Pennsylvania.
No man has done more to preserve the
honor and dignity of the Keystone State
no man has performed more important SER
vice in advancing the intelligence, prosperity,
and happiness other people. One act alone,
the establishment Of her public school sys-
TEN, which he, more than any other one
man, effected, in spite of an opposition which
would have overwhelmed less courageous
leader, entities him to the highest honors
that Pennsylvania can bestow, and in de-
ferring them till now she has been tardy if
not unjust.
2. Thaddeus Stevens election would be
the unmistakable declaration of the senti-
ment of Pennsylvania, concerning Recon-
struction.
This is no small consideration. Mr.. Ste
vens stands up firmly for the principles upon
which the war was conducted to successful
issue, yet no one has more kindly heart to.
ward the sufferings of any people, and while
his election would convince the South that
they must yield their ancient unjust and un-
equal advantage in the control OF the Nation
} al affairs, his recent speeches show that he
does not desire any unreasonable or vindic
t tive measures to be directed against the
mass of the Southern people.
{ g. Mr. Stevens election would restor,
, complete harmony, and prevent any furthe
D dissension in the ranks of the Republican
4 party of Pennsylvania.
! This hardly requires illustration Mr.
G Stevens undoubtedly has the popular sym
4 pathy of the party Masses and he is inimica
neither to the friends of Governor Curtil
! nor of General Cameron. If he be choscl
. there will be no bitter sting Of modification
