Bankruptcies.

The human mind in pursuit after
truth, can only arrive at it by perso-
veranee and investigation, and hence
it is the first duty of rational minds
never to neglect any source or avenue
from whence the light of truth may
come Nor is it concerning truth in
the abstract alone that this postulate
holds good, for in every department Of
human life where wisdom, prudence,
punctuality, and skill are required,
there is especially required the most
untiring investigation and wakeiul
discernmcnt. In the mercantile life,
where skill, produce and wisdom are
essentially necessary, how very appli-
cable is this doctrine. In times like
the present, when so many business
men have gone under-forced by alb
solule insolvency to leave the stage Of
active business-a series of investiga-
tions into the causes of every bank
ruptcy, would indeed form a valuable
part OF mercantile lnowlege, and much
of the blame that is thrown upon the
laws regulating bankruptcy courts, or
the fanciod want OF humanity in hard
creditors, would be found resolvable
into unskillfulness. ignorance, i'm
punctuality and imprudence. Trading
with insufficient capital, borrowing at
too high a rate of interest in proper
lion TO the amount OF profits, TOO OK
pensivc an establishment, either in
fixtures or clerks, dissipation and
lavish expenditure of self or family /:
these are some of the fruitful sources
Of bankruptcy. We have known
instances where ruin was caused by
continual leaks among dishonest en-
ployees, and these will sometimes
elude the vigilance OF the most watch
fu business man. In many instances
the aid of detectors has TO be enlisted
in oider to detection. We know of a
large honse in this city in which two
of the detective force OF Mr.. Pinker-
ton, of Chicago, had been employed as
clerks, for the express purpose Of
detecting a leak of long standing
When we 60 into billiard room, and
take survey of the crowd engaged
at the different tables and notice the
chief and lieutenants of police, putting
their cigars and punching the worries
about along with lavish clerks and
impudent merchants, we think TO
ourselves: "Thoughtless, imprudent
men" you are paying dear for the
whistle; you little dream that a men,
orandum book account is being correct
ly kept Of all your spendings"
Bankrupt laws are enacted with a
large view to the protection Of trade,
and to guard honest and honorable
creditors from the frauds of dishonest
traders They are largely based up
on the principle that when trader
admits or declares that he is unable
to meet his engagements, or allows
himself TO be sued, or bis paper pro.
tested-he should be deemed an
insolvent. There are many hard
ships both to the debtor and creditor
connected with the bankrupt code,
but the lesson taught by the courts
and by experience is-that prevention
is better than cure .--JourHai Of Com.

excused of all the noted assassns OF
history.
On the ever memorable Friday the
llth day OF April, 1850, 10 Washing.
ton, was pcrpcirutcd the horrid deed
that blackencd the pages Of the now
worlds history with a new crime.
Tho contrast in this case was as stri.
king as the last, but the effect Of IL
was the exact converse OF the former
A genial, warm. hearted, whole soulcd
man was stricken down, in the very
acme Of his fame, by an enthusiast
and reckless senlimenlalist, whose
avowed object was to rid the world OF
a tymnt, but whose real ambition was
morbid desire for fame or notoriety,
no matter whether il was of q theatri-
cal or infamous nature.
I'll OF these assassins and their ad-
mircrs affect to ca! the tyrannicides.
But, by singular fatality, the most
odious tyrant, with an exception or
two, is the very one to escape the
assassin's steel, while Caesar, the no
ble-hcarted and forgiving; Henry ~ /,
the generous and tolerant; Duncan,
the meek and virtuous, and Lincoln,
the amiable and complaisant, are the
very ones to perish at their hands.
The only fact that can be offered in
extenuation of their crime is that like
their prototypes, the followers of
Hashishnie, their deeds are the of.
spring of frenzied minds, caused by
gloomy and frantic imaginations.
Darcy McGee, the parliamentary
leader in Canada; General Van Dorm,
in Tennessee and. recently, the aged
Mcconnell, in Jacksonville, Illinois,
and numerous other persons since the
war, all persisted by assassination,
showing the fearful rapidity and pre-
valence with which the tragedy at
Washington has inoculated tho des-
perate portion of our population
