vent, to trustees, for the benefit of all his oredi-
tors, even when made in the best faith, would be
an act of bankruptcy, if designed to prevent
distribution of his property under the Bankrupt
Law, and this for reasons which have been previ-
ously given These instances of acts of bank
ruptcy might be almost indefinitely extended, but
those given are sufficient to show the extent of
good faith required at the hands of the debtor,
who asks to be relieved under the Act, from the
burden of his indebtedness. His conduct is at oil
times subject to the scrutiny of his creditors, and
by committing one act Of bankruptcy, he may, st
any time in six months after its commission, be
forced by any creditor, whose demand amounts to
$3.50, ami is provable, into bankruptcy.
If, upon the trial, he be adjudged bankrupt,
his assignees may recover back the property con-
veyed, assigned or transferred by him in violation
of the Act In the 33d Section, it is provided that
no debtor shall be discharged under proceedings
in bankruptcy, commenced after one year from the
3Oth of June, 1867, whose assets do not pay fifty
per centum of the claims against his estate, with
out the written consent of majority in number
and value, of his creditors, to be filed in the case
at the time of the application for a discharge.
The objects of the law are stated to be, the dis
charge of the honest, but unfortunate debtor, upon
the complete surrender of his property to his cred
itors, on the one hand, and the protection of the
creditor against the fraudulent practices and dis
honest conduct of his debtor on the other; and if
this communication shall in any way benefit those
who arn Interested shall be amply repaid for my
trouble in preparing it.

SCENE IN THE HOUSE ON THE PASSAGE OF
THE NEW RECONSTRUCTION BILL.

~~SN'
The Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Gazette thus describes the scene enacted III the
House of Representatives on the Goth inst, upon
the passage of the new Reconstruction bill The
questions propounded to the author of this ''infa-
mous'' measure clearly demonstrate the character
of the legislation ITSELF while the historic interest
of the scene cannot fail to beget attention
The scene in the House of Representatives to-
day has been one of much more than usual inter-
est The fact being known that the House would
come TO final vote on the Reconstruction Bill, the
galleries were packed with excited spectators, the
Immense northern gallery being filled almost e1-
clusively with American citizens of African de-
sccnt-who, as the scene was viewed from your
correspondents desk, furnished dark background
to the whole picture. The Foreign Diplomatic
Corps exhibited deep interest in the proceedings,
and the western gallery, set apart for their espe-
cial accommodation, was also well filled On the
floor of the Hall, Senator's and Cabinet Ministers
and army officers crowded, all seemingly anxious
to witness the final proceedings OF the House Of
Representatives this startling and fearful meas
ure of cgslation-pronounced by MIR. Wood, .'the
most infamous act, OF the many infamous acts OF
this Infamous Congress"
Just before Mr.. Bingham, Of Ohio, who report
ed the bill, rose 10 close the debate his colleague,
Mr. Carey (Republican), propounded to him four
questions, saying That upon the satisfactory char
actcr of Mr. Bingham replies would depend his
(Carey's) vote on the pending bill. These ques-
lions were-let. If General Grant should fail or
refuse to execute this law, should execute it in
d dcspotic anu cruel manner. to what tribunal
would he be responsible for his non-feasance or
,nalfeasancc? ID. As by the terms of the bill the
President cannot interfere, can the General BE-
tried by court -rnariul aud il so, who can order
and who shall constitute the Court? ID. Not be-
ing civil officer, can lie be impeached, and if So
by whom, and before what tribunal? 4th If he
cannot be arraigned before any earthly tribunal.
is he not made an absolute despot!
These four inquiries, so simple in their nature.
fell with decided effect upon The Radical side Of
the Hail. and Immediately Butler, Schenck, Bout
we'll and others, rushed over to Binghams desk TO
prompt him in his replies but that gentleman
deemed it more prudent not to answer, and III once
called the previous question, thus not only stop
ping debate, but cutting of Ben. Buffers amend
ment, which he so strenuousy endeavored TO get
before the House, and which wns intended to pass
the State Governments of the South into the hands
Of the negro Conventions. These four inquiries
by Mr. Carey should be published far and wide.
They were prvpounded by Republican, and were
not answered by Mr.. Bingham. They tell the
whole story of to-day proceedings in few words,
and words which cannot be misunderstood

A MEAN DECISION IN FAVOR OF A MEAN
MANA Massachusetts paper saws: Mr..
Easton, of Boston, in November, 1856, left
his p1cketbook, containing valuable papers,
on desk in the Merchants Bank, where it
was found BY boy named kincaid, who
made several Intellectual attempts to find the
owner. in the meantime Mr.. Easton had
offered. by advertisements, reward of 500
to the finder, upon his returning the book
and contents. This advertisement coming
to kincaid's notice, he returned the pocket
book and claimed the reward, which Easton
refused to pay, suit was brought to recover
it, and the Supreme Court now gives iudg-
ment for the defendant, because the plaintiff,
BY discovering the pocketbook where it had
been left voluntarily by the owner, in bank
inghouse, did not become the finder, and was
Tot entitled to the reward according to the
terms Of the advertisement.

THE ONE-TERa PR1NCIPLE.-In a CONVEX
sation which took place on Monday last, be-
tween General Grant, at his headquarters,
and the editor Of this paper, the General, of
his own accord, introduced the subject of the
single Presidential term, and not only de-
clared himself in favor OF it, but expressed
the opinion that the passage of constitu-
tional amendment effecting that reform is
absolutely necessary to the preservation of
our liberties. On the previous Monday even
ing, the editor had similar conversation
with Senator Wade, when the latter ex-
pressed himselfto the same effect, and prom
ised that he would seek an early opportunity
to call his own bill for such amendment from
the Judiciary Committee, of which Senator
Trumbnll is chairman, and bring it before
the body Of the Senate. Here are two men
who, at the time they made these statements
knew that the prospects of their personal
would be directly limited by the
operation of this bin yet both Of them pat
riotically desired to have it carried. These
men are of the stamp that may be trusted
Wilkes Spirit Of the Times.
