Decision-Ordcr Of Arrest BY q State Court
In the Case OF n bankrupt.
Before Judge Blatchford.
IN me Matter Of solomon Megei a Bankr7lpt.-
The bankrupt's voluntary petition in bankruptcy
was filed December H. 1867. He was adjudicated
bankrupt ON the 18th December, 1867. On the nth
December, 1867, an order was made py Justice Of
the Supreme Court OF the State OF New York, In
suit commenced against the bankrupt on the l4th
December 1867, by Leopold Wise and Morris Wise,
ON the ground that the plaintlds In the suit had .
sufficient cause Of action against the bankrupt ON
money demand or contract, and that the debt was
contracted by false and fraudulent representations
OF the bankrupt and requiring the Sheriff OF the city
and county or New York TO arrest the bankrupt
The affidavit and the facts showed q case OF debt
by The fraud OF the bankrupt and such debt
az uncer section So OF the act, would not be dis
chased by discharge IN bankruptcy.
IL isaryued on the part OF the bankrupt that the
creditors by proving their debt have, under section
twentgoae of the act, waived all right 0i action and
suit against him.
Thai TINS court must inquire INTO and determine
on this application the question as to whether the
deot Ia question was IN iact created by the fraud OF
the bankrupt.
1t was held by this court that so much OF section
twenty-one Of this act imposes penalty for prov
ing debt cannot be considered as applying to .
debt which by section 81 Is not discharge
able The order OF arrest must be regarded, at least
for the purposes OF this application, as an adiudica
tlon by the State courts between The parties to the
SUIT in which The order IL entitled. that the arrest
was founded on debt from which q discharge In
bankruptcy would not release the bankrupts. The
decisi, concluded as follows:-
1t results that the order Of arrest cannot be va
Gated, nor can the proceedings Of the creditors in
arresting the bankrupt be set aside. But as the
deDt sued IN the State court by the creditors Is
proyabe debt the suit must ne stayed until deter
pinaiion is had as TO the DISCHARGES. whether the
debt be tnat will not be discharged. The further
proceedings OF the creditors in the suit must be-
therefore stayed, IN accordance with the provision
Of section twentyone, 10 await the determination OF
the court in bankruptcy on the question OF the dis
charge.

SENATOR SPRAGUEON TIE

When, some months ago, Senator
Sprague, of Rhode Island, came down
to South Carolina, bought the Colum-
bia canal and declared that he was will
ing to lead the revolution which must
take place in cotton spinning in Ameri-
ca, it was not dreamed that he would
be the first Republican senator to point
out the brazcn armor of his party, or
that the subvcrsion of this government
was in more danger from body con,ti-
tuted as the Senate than from any other
source. And yet this, and more, Sen
ator Sprague has done. With a bold
ness which we cannot but admire he
has dcfed without betrayiug his party,
and is known to-day as a Republican
whose devotion to the Union is unques
toned, but who has been able at last to
see the curruption, the blundcrs and
the crimes of Radicalism, aud, seeing,
has the courage to dcnounce.
At the first swing Of the tomahawk,
he made sensation by declaring that
there were too many lawyers in the 60,

THOUGHTS ON SPRING.

When Spring comes laughing in with flowers,
And fragrance floats from every tree,
And birds in their sequestered bowers,
Chant forth their dulcet melody,
Who would ne, raise cheerful voice
To Him who brings the seasons round,
While nature smiles and all rejoice,
Can there heart that's sad be found.
Spring cometh gently, softly, rowing
ly-her fairy breezes whisper through
the budding leaves-sweetly they
breathe an under tone of melody, and
join the myriad songsters of the wood
in fresh glad notes of joy and praise !;
while every zephyr, as it dies away,
leaves its rich load of perfume on the
genial air. Slowly the mists of morn
ing rise above the earth, and float away
in vaporing masses towards the horizon
of the glowing sky. The bursting buds
and flowers sparkle with the myriad
gems the angel hath shaken from his
roseate wings, and light, and life, and
hope seen springing upon earth, yet is
the spring time sad-sadder far than
the chilly autumn days or the cold
bleak winds of winter. Change cometh
to all things-and most of oil to the
hearts idol, and oh when all else Of
earth rejoicetn in the light Of the Spring
time, then most of all do we "turn from
all it brought, to all it cannot bring"

FIRE.

A few minutes after four o'clock on
the afternoon of last Tuesday, the 9Th
inst, the citizens our town were rudely
startled from their after dinner rumina-
tions by the alarm Of fire. The flames
we're discovered in full headway among
some old, dry wooden buildings in rear
of the principal business part of the
town. The fire companies and the cit
izens generally turned out in full force
and put forth the most strenuous and
we'll directed efforts to arrest the pro.
gress of the destructive element. This
is always done, but more especially did
all feel called on to act on this occasion,
perceiving as they did, the imminent
danger of destruction, which threatened
the whole of the chief block on Broad
street. For some time the issue of The
contest was orb'ful, tho fire burning
fercely, close in the rear of several
stores. But at the most critical mo-
ment, the wind sprung up from favor
able quarter. blowing the aam"s from
the buildings most in danger, enabled
the fremcn to get them under their
coatrol. The fire is thought to have
originated in a stable in the rear of the
building owned by Mr.. WM. JOHNSON,
Whether it was accident or not, we
cannot say, but are inclined to believe
that it was. The place and the time
preclude the idea that any one wishing
to destroy the town, or get an opportu-
aity for pluudcr, should have chosen
such an unreasonable hour. The back
yards of all the stores are, more or less,
filed with rubbish, and crowded with
old, rotten sheds, so that spark falling
in some places would be sufficient to
cause an alarming conaagration. 1t is
fortunate that the fire occurred when it
did and burnt up what has long heen a
source of apprehension to many. lfit
had broken out at night, when the wind
was high, the consequences might have
been ruinous. AS it was, no property
of fany great value was destroyed. The
thanks of those, whose property was
most imperilled are due to the fremen
white and colored, for their heroic eff
forts.
The industry of the colored citizens
was most commepdablc and is fully ap-
.preciated by all who have the interest
OF our town at heart.
