The FIFTY PER CENT LIMITATION CLAUSE
OF THE BANKRUPT ACT.-The impression

cannot take the benefits of the bankrupt act;
that the limitation went into force on the I'd of

Governments do not own houses in this CITY
for the permanent use of their respective lega-

says II understands there is a disposition in

The idea is a good one. Not only should
foreign Governments provide suitable official

states should also own and furnish proper

The WAR between the New York Cent

The WAR between the New York Central
and the New York and Erie railroads, and The
attendant struggle between the bull and bear
interest over the stock of the last-named CON-
pany, have for Sume time past been an absorb
ing topic in financial circles in New York and
elsewhere. As the real points at issue came to
be understood, however the attention of the
public has been more generally attracted to the
contest, until now it is watched with no little
interest BY the community at large.
For ourselves, We know little of the side issues
involved in the strife, or of the general merits
of TawEs or UTsa in their irrepressible conflict
We are furthermore entirely Indifferent as to
the effect Of the operations Immediately under
notice upon the pocket Of either. We must
confess, however, that LOOKING at the struggle
in its broader aspect as affecting the interests
OF the public, cur sympathies in this
instance are thoroughly with the bears
II appears TO rs that the fight has assumed
the character and proportions OF a battle be-
tween the people and a powerful combination
between industry and capital-and that the
bears have become, perhaps unconsciously and
unintentiOnally, the allies of the former. In
their victory alone does there seem to be any
escape for New York from the grasp of a mo-
nopoly whose policy can only be ruinous to
her business interests, and those of the great
Northwest as well.
In such contest men inyoluntarily take
sides. That the national capital should be in
the hands of a single railroad corporation is
bad enough, and shame enough for the whole
country Let us hope that its commercial me-
tropslis may be spared similar hard fate.

The LIBEL SUIT of Mrs. Dean against Beach,
in New ork, in which the plaintiff charged
that the defendant published a libel in the
New York Sun, resulted, on Wednesday, in a
verdict in favor of the defendant. The case
was tried before jury, and their verdict APP
pears TO have been given on the ground that al
though the plaintiff had really published Ii
bel, yet il was done without his knowledge;
had been copied as an item OF news from an
other source; had been printed without malice,
and after publication had been corrected and
repeated efforts made 10 atone for II; and that
this had shown so complete a want of malice,
and so great desire TO do the right thing on
the part of the publisher of the Sun. that il
warranted a verdict In his favor. This verdict
Is important. as it opens to the public gaze a
new chapter III the law of libel, and shows
that II Is possible for a newspaper which in
advertently prints libel to sufficiently atone
for 1t without the intervention of a court Of

| Moro VetOes Expected-SpecuIati0
I'm Regard to the New York COnven-
] IIOn-NO Reconciliation Between
Grant and BufIer-L.ast Resort of
the Radicals.
Spseial to the Louisville Courier
| WASHINGTON, June 25.-Two more
vetoes ara expected sbortly-One of the
bill continuing the Freedmsn's Bureau,
and the other Of the bill giving the Wash
| ington election TO the Radicals OF course
these vetoes will accomplish nothing, bnt
| the President seems determined to put
| himseIf On record against all the iniquities
| Of this iniquitOus Congress.
The President to-day cent 10 the Senate
the name of Henry A. Smythe, Collector
Of New York, to be Minister TO Austria
Il Is thought by those who are acquainted
With the views of the Radical majority,
| that the nomination will be confirmed.
The impression seems to prevail in po-
Iitical circles hero that Andrew johnson
sill get a large complimentary vote, at
least in the New York Convention. One
thing is certain-his friends here lose no
opportunity to do q little log-rolling"
with the delegates as they pass through.
Cameron, Sprague and Chandler were on
the floor Of the Senate to-day in decidedly
inebriated condition, having been engaged
in a vain attempt, it is thought, to drink up
their stock Of whisky on hand before the
law reducing the tax to fifty cents takes
effect, falling in which they will sustain a
dead loss of 4 dollar and q half per gallon.
The reconciliation between Grant and
Butler seems 10 have miscarried. George
Wilkes reckoned without his host when he
supposed that one dose Of whisky would
settle the matter, as, after the effects Of the
panaeea wore of, Butler again got mad,
and refuses TO be comforted. Ii is thought
that it will be necessary to keep him
under the influence" indefinitely.
II is mooted in private Radical circles
here that, in the event of all other schemes
falling, in order 20 secure the election of
Grant, the Senate will, If necessary, dis
card all adverse votes from the South upon
some preteXt or other, and thus throw the
election into the House.

bonds was IA cents, just nineteen cents
less than they commanded eight years

are, yet a sufficient revenue was fur

the State and the interest on our bonds
without borrowing Then We had four
ishing public schools all over the State

taxes then levied Now We are only
organizing free schools, yet the school
tax has been regularly levied and
collected, and we are reduced to
the necessity of borrowing money to
pay the interest on our bonds, A few
months ago we had school fund of more
