The Bankrupt Law.

According to provision of the Bankrupt
law, as originally passed. parties filing their
petitions within one year after it went into
operation might be discharged from their
debts without regard to tile amount of as
sets or property surrendered; that is,
debtor having no property beyond what the
law exempted, and allowed him to retain,
might still be relieved of his debts. This
provision of the law, limited originally to
to one year, was afterwards extended, by
an amendment, to the list of January, 1869,
and the extension so made will therefore
run out in about thirty days. Upon petit
lions filed after that Gate, the debts will not
he discharged unless at least fifty per cent.
of the amount proved shall be paid, or
majority of the creditors give their consent
in writing.

we have mentioned, we need no immigra-
ton scheme further than to direct the attcn-
ton of those anxious to emigrate to this
State, provided that feelings of hostility
seen in our newspapers and heard from our :
partizan orators be banished, and all such
men and their families receive welcome
and facilities and encouragement in their
business.
It is much to be regretted that the encour-
agement of immigration has been made a
partizan question. Is it possible that there
does not exist patriotism in the State that
can rise above party ends and trickery9 1t
is folly to suppose that our State can be filed
up by immigrants that would be of any
value that would allow themselves to be
brought hither with an Interior view to adj
vance the interests of a political party.
As long as the purpose to induce immi,
grafton has no nobler aim than to crafty
hate of the emancipated negro, it must meet
with result that alone could be worthy of
SO unnianly and unpatriotic design. AS long
as men seek to direct the emigration from
Europe to this State only to secure popu-
lation that will aid its manipulators in con-
trolling the politics of the State, there will
not be formed homogeneous and peaceful
pOpulation-an end that would be essential
to the mind of wise statesman. A wise
immigration "scheme" will learn the opin-
ions of the immigrant out of the calculation
and look for moral and industrial qualities
that fit them to become valuable citizens who
shall fill place in the State, that now is I'M
occupied.
Every facility should be afforded those
meditating purpose to settle in the State.
The press should give them welcome--all
the civil funcionarics over the State should
afford them information, and officials of our
Railroads every facility and gentlemanly at
tention in their power. We have no doubt
if this were the case, and if quiet and safety
to person and property were SO certain that
all doubt were removed, that we should see
a spontaneous and voluntary immigration
flow into our State that in a few years would
make it bloom with more than its virgin
beauty.

INFLUENCE OF NEwsPAPERs.-A school
teacher, who has been engaged for a long
time in his profession. and witnessed the in
faence of a newspaper upon the minds of
family of children. writes as follows:
have found it to be the universal fact,
without exception, that those scholars of
both sexes, and of all ages, who have
access to newspapers at home, when COM
pared to those who have not, arc:
l. Better readers, excellent in pronuncia-
ton. and consequently read more under
standingly. r9
2. They are better spoilers, and define
words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge of
geography in almost halt the time it re-
quires of others, as the newspaper has made
them acquainted with the location of the
important places of nations. their govern
mentS and tloings on the globe.
4. They are better grammarians; for,
having become so familiar with every varie-
ty of style OF the newspapers, from the COM
mon place advertisement tn the finished
and classical oratinn of the statesmen, they
more readily comprehend the meaning of
the teAt, anu C'Hstdutly dhuiyZc lis Gull
s.rnction with accuracy.
5. They write letter composition, using
better language, containing more thoughts,
more clearly and more commercially ex-
pressed
Those young men who have for years
been readers nl the newspapers are always
taking the lead in the debating societies,
exhibiting a more extensive knowledge
upon greater variety of subjects, and ex-
pressing their views with greater fuency,
clearness and correctness in the use of
language.

A rebel soldier named Clayton-a resi-
dent of Person county-was let out of prison
at the close of the war, and landed IN
Philadelphia, ragged and without cent
of money. He met with an old bache-
lor gentleman, who, taking fancy to him,
sent him to an old maiden sister living in
the country, to be employed hy her on her
farm. He worked all that year for the old
lady and saved enough to bring him home
The other day Clayton received notice of
the old lady's death, and that she had left
him the whole of her estate. The estate
contains about 100 acres of G cd land-lies
AZ miles from Philadelphia-is well stocked,
and has all the convenience of model
farm. Clayton lived some 10 or 10 miles
from here, and has suffered extreme power

The Wilmington Journal gives the par
ticulars of the killing of MIR. Henry Giles,
heretofore announced in the STANDARD.
He was killed near Owensville, Sampson
county, on Monday night while en- route to
Fayetteville from Warsaw. He was riding
with the driver, and the horses taking fright,
he was either thrown from his seat or
jumped, and his feet becoming entanged in
the reins, he fell. The wheels passed over
his head, crushing it. Instant death en-
sued.
Mr.. Giles was native of Raleigh, and
was most favorably known throughout the
State. He was connected with the house
of Sloan & Caldwell, and was travelling in
their behalf when he met with this fatal
accident. As u business man he possessed
most enviable reputation. He command.
ed very large patronage from this State,
and was a great favorite with the North
Carolina merchants who purchased in
Baltimore. He leaves a wife and several
children and large circle of friends to
mourn his untimely end.
