The National Bankrupt Law.

The act establishing o uniform system or
bankruptcy throughout the United States has
been now some eight months in operation, and
although the period has been brief and the
details and workings of the law were bat
imperfecEly known to both bench and bar the
country at large begins to feel and appreciate
its beneficial influence. In all countries II is
requisite that some legal measures should be
devised to protect the honest but unfortunate
debt has prevented from continuing his BUSH
ness, thus deriving the community of many Of
its most useful and industrious members.
Many family has been reduced to Indulgence
through the persistence Of some Shylock insist.
ing upon Lis "pound OF fesh," and thereby
causing loss to himself and other creditors,
who would have all been paid had little time
been allowed. Under these circumstances it
has been found necessary to pass laws afford
ing relief to debtors, and every State in the
Union, with one exception, has endeavored
by statutory enactment to provide such relief
In this State there was law called the Two
thirds act, which rendered it necessary for
debtor to procure the consent Of two-thirds Of
his creditors before he could be discharged
from his Indebtedness The principal and it
seems the only objection to the present general
Bankruptcy law is its responsiveness. The
honest debtor who has surrendered all his stock
of worldly goods towards the payment of his
debts finds il impossible to meet the demands
made by the law and its officers as prelimi-
nary step towards granting the relief which is
sought. In the Registers charges are included
such items as Office rent, light, clerks, station
cry, &C., which are unjust and unnecessary.
Measures should be taken to prevent this glar-
ing extortion. Again, in case Of involuntary
bankruptcy, the petitioning debtor, under our
present system, may be prevented from deriv-
ing any benefit from the law, as no provision
is made for the appointment of an official as
sgnee to receive and hold the assets of the
debtor until the final adjudication Of the court.
This decision, in cases where the application is
resisted, Is frequently delayed for months, the
debtor In the meantime retaining his assets,
with full power to do what he pleases with
them. II Congress would only abandon for
moment their nigger" studies and squabbles
with the Executive and turn their attention to
The subject Of bankruptcy they would benefit
tho country moro than their present course is
doing and would remove the obstacles that
impede the operations Of the present national
Bankruptcy law.

DAIRY BUSINESS The Walla Walla States
man urges upon the farmers in that region the
Importance of the dairy business. Scarcely q
better suggestion coald be made to the farm
ers. Let them make good butter, pack and
prepare it so that it will not turn rancid in a
few weeks, or run into the consistency of slush
on only moderately warm days, and above all,
pay particular care not to mix Indifferent or
actually bad butter with the good, and they
can always find quick, cash, ready market
for their butter here ia Idaho, ut high prices
But our people will not stand any roguery in
the way Of mixed layers of good and bad but
ter, and of grease. They will pay handsomely
for butter which is made to eat. out not any
price will they knowingly pay for butter gotten
up on the cheating scale, only to sell, where
water, salt, and Verse things, go to make the
weight
