The STAY Law.

In General Orders No. 49, issued by Gen
eral Stoneman December %, is the following
paragraph:
Il. That the stay of executions against per-
sopsal property, SO far only as the same exists
under lays noV in force, and which by the pro,
visions thereof expires en- tie said lst day of
January, 1869, shall be and is hereby, extend
ed until the LIST day of July, 1869, and If on or
before the said last named day the debtor shall
have paid all the interest then due and owing
thereon, such execution shall be further stayed
until otfs:,s orders from these or superior head
quarters.
There has been difference of opinion among
the lawyers of the State in regard to the inter,
probation of the above, but we are now able to
state by authority that lit is intended by the
order to give the debtor until the LIST of July ln
which to pay AL the interest than due, Up to
which date, July lst, 1869, all executions a.
gainst persona! property are stayed for either
interest or principal We are further authoriz-
ed to state that those debtors who On the LIST
of July shall have failed to pay up all back in
terest that may be then due, may expect to
receive no further extension of time on any
portion ofeither the principal or interest -

The Judiciary and Reconstruction Com
mittehS

The Judiciary Committee Of the Senate, to
which the Conservative Committee of Nine
submitted the amendments to the Underwood
Constitution proposed by them, has not yet re-
ported. 1t is supposed probable that the pres
ent Congress will not take definite action upon
this subject, but will pass it over to the next.
The Reconstruction Committee of the House
of Representatives has been busily engaged in
hearing the testimony pro and con of Virginian
Conservatives, carpet baggers and scalawags.
The extracts we publish from the letters of
Washington correspondents in the column
headed, Before the Reconstruction Commit
tee" will he read with interest.
