CHURCH ScANDAL.-It is reported that a
lady member of one of the New York
churches, little too gay to be satisfactory
to her associates, was tried before the
church and cut off for breach of covenant.
The husband, feeling grieved, has COM
menced suit in the court for libel and
SANDER, and lays the damages at $1,000.
This suggests to o New York correspond
ent sundry questions:
"Can church decipline its members
without having the fear of the courts be-
fore its eyes? Can church be sued for
cutting members off for breach of dis
cipline? Is it sladder to turn a man or
woman out of church? Can parties who
conduct a trial according to the customs of
denomination be compelled to disclose
what was said or done in a church meet
ing? Are not such communications all

The draft of the basis of treaty for
the settlement of the Alabama claims,
agreed upon between Lord Stanley and
Minister johnson, has been received at
the State Department. The irst article
provides for the settlement of all claims
which have arisen between the two govi
ernments since the convention of 1858.
The second article provides expressly for
the settlement of what are known as the
Alabama claims, and proposes the forma-
ton of joint commission, each govern
ment to appoint two members, who shall
sit in Washington and determine the
character, legality and amount of claims.
ANY question which is not decided unani>
mously by the commissioners, is to be
submitted to an arbitrator agreed upon by
the two governments. This is brief
outline Of the proposition as submitted.
1t eis undoubted that it is not entirely
satisfactory to Mr.. Seward.

A weli-known wealthy Partisan has had
himself painted, by an eminent artist,
'as he was" ''as he is" and "as he will
be-" "As he was" represents him at the
age of twenty-five, poor devil in ragged
garments, with his toes peeping through
holes in his shoes, sinking, half famished,
by the side of wall. "As he is," figures
him fat and jolly as an alderman, we'll
dressed, with gold chains decking his waist
coat, and diamond rings blazing on his
fingers. And, in "As he will be-" he is
made rotting, hideous corpse. Not the
least singular feature OF such singular
freak, is the fact that he has the paintings
hung in his drawing room.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN BANKRuPTcY.--
Judge Swayne, in the United States Cir.
cult Court, northern district of Ohio, has
decided in the case of John G. Neal, in
bankruptcy, as follows:
l. Property fraudulently disposed of by
a bankrupt in proceedings by or against
him may he recovered by the assignee
upon petition in the bankrupt court, pro-
ceedings upon which may be Of a summary
character.
2. The district judge may order issues
of fact arising in such cases to be tried by
a jury.
:. Suits may be brought at common law
or by bill in equity for the securing Of
property in such cases, but as they must
be governed by the technical rules, and he
subject to the delays incident thereto, it is
preferable to proceed by summary petit
ton, auxiliary to the original proceedings
in the court of bankruptcy, that being i
cheaper, speedier and more simple mode.
Another case of considerable interest to
bankrupts has just been decided in United
States District Court Of Indiana. The
points are as follows:
l. A failure of fourteen days to pay
commercial paper is not an act of bank
was with fraudulent intent.
2 When debtor, knowing his estate
to be insolvent, permits himself to be
insolvent, permits himself to he sued, and
knowing that a judgment in such suit will
give that condition an advantage over
others, he commits an act of bankruptcy,
and is bound to seek relief Of the bank.
rupt act. Neglecting this, he may be ad-
judged bankrupt on petition of credit
ors.
Up to the first day of January next,
discharges by the bankrupt law will be-
issued without regard to the amount Of
assets or property surrendered that is,
a debtor having no property beyond what
the law exempted and allowed him to
retain, might still be relieved of his debts.
Upon petitions fled after that date the
debts will not he discharged unless at least
50 per cent. of the amount proved shall
be paid, or a majority Of the creditors
giving their consent in writing.
