The ii4c,.Hs,taa Wing learns that Gen.

modification Of the Stay Saw, rs substitute
for the statute which expires on January list.
It is thought Is be somewhat Of a compro-
mise, which. while, to ssnaa extent, restrain
ing creditors, win put pressure upoa debt
ors. The Ehiy is Informed that he will
make no announcement On the subject until
about tie both.
From the above it would seem that Gen.
sstonersaan is Influenced to some extent by
The concentrations on the subject from
meetings Of citizens and private individuals
We therefore repeat our suggestion Of last
week, TINT orr people meet at once and give
expression Of their sentiments on this sub
iect, and that the people elsewhere in the
Valley and other portions Of the State do
;he same Without a general expression of
sentiment, Gen. stoneman is likely to act
for the interest Of but few, while he may
honestly entertain the opinion that he is act
ing for the good Of the many. 1t is the
part of wisdom therefore, to hold meetings
give full expression Of sentiment on the
subject, 50 that Gen. Stoneman may, advis-
eddy, take such action a. will secure the
greatest good to the greatest number.
