boon of health to day.
Although 40 powerful and positive, they are

WHEN DID THE BANKRUPT LAW GO INTO
OpERAT1oN 1.-THE Norfolk journal, reply
ing to the above question, says:
aHon. T. A. JEEcKEs. of Rhode Island,
who was the framer Of the bill and the
/" chairman of the committee that reported
$" 1t, in letter to Colonel FOSTER, register
/" for this district, dated January %, says
As the bankrupt act did not 20 into
"tfnll operation until June /, 1867, the
SIS fifty per cent. claims will not take effect
until June /, 1862
An amendatery bill was introduced
/" and referred in Congress last week, which
+" recognizes the date at which this claim
takes effect as June /, 1863"
The opinion Of Mr.. JENcKEs is, of course,
worth no more than that Of any other law
yer. We have already published decl-
sion, rendered by Judge CAREY, of Balti-
more, that the law went into operation on
the I'd of March. The amendatory bill
spoken of above admits that the law did &c
into effect at this latter date, and extends
tho time allowed to the bankrupts who
pay less than fifty per cent. of their debts
to the lst of June. If the law already
provided for this, there would be no ne
cessity for new act to accomplish the
same object. Persons who cannot pay
fifty per cent. Of their debts would do well
to wait until Congress has taken action
upon the subject before fling their petit
tons. Otherwise, they may lose the fees
and keep their dsbts.

CANDIDATES MUST BE NoMINATED.-The
Charlottesville Chronicle, as every paper
has done which has spoken upon the sub
ject, takes ground in favor Of nominating
Conservative candidates for all the Offices
to be filed under the negro Constitution.
1t says:
Conservative candidates should be
"brought out for all the offices, even the
"most unimportant. The battle must be
thought on every inch Of ground, and no
1thing yielded without contest. It is
"possible, though very improbable, if the
Conservatives do their duty, that the
Constitution may be carried. 1t is very
"probable that it will be imposed on the
"Stste by Congress without regard to the
"vote. Garry all, or, at any rate, most OF
/" the offices in the State, and the measures
"of the Radicals will be checkmated in
"any event."
Let us use all of our opportunities. We
shall do no harm to the State by running
candidates. If the Constitution be rati-
fled, we shall have the satisfaction Of
having placed many white men in posi-
tions where they win be enabled to render
good service to the people. And if re-
jected, none of these men will be damaged
by their quasi election. Its not improba-
BILE that We shall secure larger vote by
this course than by relying upon the de-
termination Of the people to reject negro
suffrage.

Prayer by the chaplain.
THE PRINTING IMBRoGLIo.
Mr.. E. GIBSON, on behalf of the special
committee appointed to Investigate the
case of Mr.. ALLAN, chairman of the Com.
| mittee on Printing, submitted a report,
| which he asked to be read. Objection was
raised from the Radical side. Mr.. WHITE
stated that The wished to submit a minority
report and Mr.. ALLAN wished to file ex-
ceptions to the report. Mr.. GIBSON
| wished the report to be read. Mr.. ALLAN,
with considerable earnestness, asked that
the reading be postponed, in justice to
himself. Pending the discussion Of the
subject, the order Of the day was called,
the morning hour having arrived. The
report was withdrawn.
FRANCHISE.
The franchise question was called up.
The second exception clause to the first
section Of the report was adopted, as fol-
lows:
so. Persons convicted of bribery in any
election, embezzlement of public funds,
treason, or felony"
The third clause was then taken up, as
follows:
So. Any person who shall challenge an
other, or accept challenge to fight duel,
or act as second to any person about to en-
gage in duel"
Mr.. MADDOX offered the following as q
| substitute which was adODted
$50. No person who, while a citizen of
this State, has, since the adoption of this
Constitution, fought duel with deadly
weapon, sent or accepted challenge to
fight duel with deadly weapon either
within or beyond the boundaries of this
State, or who has acted as second, or
knowingly conveyed a challenge, or aided
or assisted in any manner in fighting a
duel, shall be allowed to vote or hold any
Office of honor, profit, or trust, under this
Constitution"
Mr.. J. @. GIBSON offered the following
as the fourth clause:
"All persons having less than three
fourths of Caucasian blood" Lost.
The fourth clause was then taken up:

The DRESSES OF AN AFRICAN KING AND
HIS CoURT.-In recent lecture delivered
in Philadelphia Monsieur DU CHAILLU
thus describes the dresses Of negro King
and his Court with whom he met in his
travels in Africa
"King Diopo was dressed in swallow
stalled coat, about the style our grand
" fathers wore, and that he must have pro-
cured from some traveller, and nothing
" else besides His Prime Minister had
"on a white shirt, one sleeve lost, and
which could not have been washed for
"two years, and nothing else. The second
"head man had necktie on, and nothing
"else! The third head man had a hat on,
land nothing else Another one of the
"suit wore pair of shoes, and nothing
"else! After the King and his Ministers
came his wives. His chief wife carried
tan umbrella, and wore nothing else be-
"sides."
The negroes in this country, if separated
from the whites and allowed to form and
manage their own government, would soon
fall back into the condition in which their
cousins at home now are. For it is not
from the want Of Opportunities for improve
ment that the negroes of Africa are still
savages, but because they are an infe-
rior race, and actually incapable of main
tanning such institutions as the whites
establish and support.
Some negro made speech in the Virgil
MIA Convention few days ago in which he
claimed that the Carthaginians Of old were
negroes! We have heard Of one greater
fool-namely, the man who declared posi-
lively that the great Roman general Sci
Pho was negro, and cited as proof the
TACT that he was always called ScIpIo AZ
RICANus!
