Senator Morton, Of Indiana As one
of the war Governors he won place
beside our own Yates and the late
lamented Andrew. 10 the Senate he
has from the first taken q command
ing position, winning, By his rare good
sense and perfect integrity, the I'M
plicit confidence of his colleagues and
the country When, therefore, he
leaves strictly political issues to dis
cuss at length the spanning Of our
great rivers-natural highways for
international commerce-with bridges,
his words are entitled to more than
passing notice. The subject is one Of
great and general interest. No river
Of note contributes directly to Chi
cago commerce, still its subject is one
vital to our trade IF our railroads
cannot traverse the rivers without
fatally Gripping river navigation, then
a war Of determination has already
been commenced between the railroad
and steamboat interests. But we can
not believe the antagonism so great as
to forbid compromise. On the con-
trary, Senator Morton sets forth the
true basis of agreement and harmony.

The Bankrupt Law.

The first year of the operation Of
the Bankrupt Law expires on the
first day Of next June, after which
time all petitioners must pay fifty per
cent. Of their liabilities or procure the
assent in writing Of three-fourths of
their creditors in order to obtain dis
charge from their debts. It is rot
true, as many suppose, that the opera
ton Of the fifty per cent. clause has
been postponed to the first of January.
The bill providing for such a post
ponement has passed the House, but
has not yet been reached in the Sen
ate. But FIVE days Of the time re-
mains, and it Is not to be presumed
that with the present condition Of the
public business in the Senate, the bill
will be reached before the time ex-
pires. It must, however, be remem-
bered that the Senate has already
evinced a determination not to take
up the bill at all, and itmay be con-
Guided that the time viii not be ex-
tended. Persons in the condition,
and who desire to obtain the benefits
OF the law, should file their petitions
before the first of June.
