THE BANKRUPT LAw.-It may not be
known to some of our readers that what is
called the fifty percent clause of this act
takes effect on the LIST of June next; that
after that date no one can take the benefit
of the act whose estate will not pay fifty per
cent to his creditors. The adjournment of
Congress and the present state of the i'm
parchment question renders it less likely
that any extension of this time will be given
by Congress. 1t therefore becomes those
who intend to petition for adjudication of
bankruptcy for themselves or against Others,
to apply to the court in session. Wash.

The remarks of Gen. Grant to his friends
who serenaded Inn few evenings since in
Washington, are brief and to the point
Gen. Grant is as modest and sensible as he
is brave.
The Rebel papers affect to he merry over
the brevity of his speeches. The speeches
OF the General are long enough to please his
friends; and his words, few though they be,
carry as much terror to his enemies us his
artillery did IN times past. Caesar, Yelling
ton, Napoleon, Franklin, Washington were
all men of few words and great deeds, as
Grant is.

The Opposition.

The Democratic Convention which is to
assemble in New-York this summer will
define the programme of the opposition for
the Presidential campaign. What that
programme will be has not yet been agreed
upon by the Tammany chieftains. There
are rumors afoat that universal suffrage for
white and black will be incorporated in
their platform. Then there Is talk of a CO.
alition with disappointed and recreant Re-
pubicans; but all this is mere matter of
conjecture, and, for while, We must possess
our souls in patience.
But whatever form this opposition may
take, one thing at least is certain, and that
is, that the party will be rallied under the
Democratic banner and to the cry of the
old Democratic watchworts. How South
ern Conservatives and those who glory in
the appellation of "old line Wings" can re-
concile themselves to abandon the principles
of life time and to fight as obscure pri-
Yates in the Democratic ranks, is not our af-
fair. They certainly will not be trusted as
leaders,. The Democracy is too wise in its
day and generation for that piece of folly.
The Northern Wings belong to history. The
great body of them have gone over to the
Republican party, while here and there may
be found few, who have cast in their lot
with Copperheadism. The old Wings of the
South will be driven by necessity to choose
between Democracy and Republicanism.-
There is no middle ground.
Our amiable Conservatism" will retire
from the field of politics to cast its charm
over evening tea parties. What will Gov
ernor Graham do? This will be question
of vital interest to quite number of voters
in North, Carolina, but will be q matter of
less consequence, however, to the Republi-
can party. Mr.. Boyden's name is already
published in the New York Dailies as the
Zone Democrat elected from North Caro-
lima" Verify we must be living in the lat
ter times! AS matters now stand, the op-
position in the South is confusion worse
COMPOUNDED. The Democratic Convention,
recommended by the Sentinel and soon to
assemble in Raleigh, will doubtless shed adj
ditional light upon this very dark subject.

as some believe, there was q conspiracy between
Butler and Pomeroy to implicate the President, thus
obtaining new material for impeachment, IL
My reasons for this belief are that several months
since Mr.. Leggett an intimate friend OF Senator
Pomeroy, wanted the appointment OF postmaster at
Leavcnworth, Kansas. He was supported by Pome-
Postmaster General, promising hs Pomeroy's) vote
sgaipst Impeachment. The Postmaster General was
furnished with q copy Of Senator Poneroy''s
letter Scopied from the original In bis
agency. some few weeks ago Leggett appears
before Colonel Cooper with o letter from Senator
Pomer0y, saying that he would carry out In good
faith any "arrangements' made with Mr.. Gaylord,
who Is Pomeroy's brother-in-law wnereupon Leggett
ana 0aSnu undertake for money TO obtain the votes
Of Senators Pomeroy Nye and Upton. did not
believe tnat senators Nye and Upton had authorized
this arrangement nor did believe that either Of
them would vote against the conviction Of the Presi
dent hut 0id ana do believe that senator Pomeroy
baited the hooks with which his friend Leggeu and
his brother.in-law, Gaylord, fshed.' Whether they
caught anything or not am unable to say. Nothing,
certainly rom me or with my consent. !,
II nwere not necessary that should avoid. Ooth

OFFENSIVE personal reflection Of General Butler, and
reply also TO one or two other assaiants. General

by radical leaders and radical presses against me,
chose TO avail himself Of that feeling to staye OF

Yesterday evening at fifteen minutes to i've O'Clock

small amount of damage Many chimneys were
blown down, three or four houses unroofed and the
trees generally unlimbed to more or less extent.
The harbor, however, was the place where the in-
3uries Of the whirlwnd were the most seriously felt.
Quite number Of small boats and yawls were sunk,
"a also two lighters, on one Of which were one hun.
bred boxes sugar belonging to the wen known
American house of Drain Co., and they
were, Of course, likewise lost. The steamer
Bienville for o while dragged her anchors, but
fortunately secured fast mooring as she was
about coming In collision with the French ship
Louisiana. The ship Georgia broke loose nom her
tastenings and went aground on the beach below
Caecalal. u Is thought she can easily be gotten
on worse than all these injuries to property
and shipping was the loss OF seven lives-persons
drowned BY the upsetting Of the small boats and
