BANKRUPTCY.
Congress having Just amended the Bankrupt
law so that nearly all parties can be discharged
from their debts unobstructed by the fifty per
cent clause, so.cslled, another opportunity Of
fers t2aecure the benefits of this most effective
and permanent measure Of relief Tho above
named will mako bankrupt business specially;
will procure discharges on the most moderate
terms, and transact al business in that line at
prices which cannot fail to be satisfactory. Be-
ing U. S. Commissioner, he will endeavor to
visit the different counties on court days, and
thus save parties the trouble and expense of
several trips to Alexandria in beginning and
proceeding with their cases Discharges can
be obtained here before Register Hill as prompt
ly as in Richmond or elsewhere, and at much
less expense to parties 1t may be added that
the Bankrupt act, in connection with the
Homestead exemption, which it is now believed
will be secured to the bankrupt under the bank
rupt law. is the only real relief now offered to
parties struggling in the hopeless bondage OF
old debts. Address personally or by letter at

General Poliden reports to the govern
ment that the battle which occurred
two days ago at Marchener, is more
important than at first rumored. The
Prussians left $50 killed, and over 100
prisoners were taken. The French
troops behaved excellently. One regi-

up, when the Prussians retreated.

Hanks, Democrat, has majority over
Roots, Republican, as follows: Inde-
pendence county 606; Jackson county
$50; Cross county 200 St. Varis
county IS; Prairie county 800. Sufficient
returns have been received to insure
the election Of Hanks by 1000. In the
First District Ouchita gives Snyder, Re-
publican, l25, and Jefferson 1000. Sa-
line gives Rogers 375. 1t is believed
that Snyder, Republican, is elected in
this district. and Edwards, Democrat,
in the Third District.
ST. LOUIS, November l0.-The Dem
ocrat has special from Little Rock,
Arkansas, which says, a strong
attempt to sell out the Republican
party was made by Governor Clayton,
in the election yesterday; and his regis
trars in some places committed all man
ner OF frauds in favor Of the Democracy.
In Phillips county where there is about
two thousand Radical majority, the
Governor went in person, the Saturday
before the election, and through A
White, a candidate for State Senator
and Judge Bennett, the defeated Re-
publican candidate, turned almost the
entire Republican vote against Roots,
candidate for Congress. On Monday
night, at Little Rock, leading rebel
and q candidate for the LEGISLATURE de-
clared himself and party for Governor
Clayton for the United States Senate;
and the Clayton men here, all voted
the Democratic ticket. Notwithstand.
ing all this it is believed that the Re-
publicans have carried the State by a
handsome majority.
THE latter is by no means likely. 1t
looks as though the Democrats have
carried all three of the Districts.-ED

NEW YORK.

New YORK, November l0.-Returns
indicate that Hoffman goes out OF this
city with majority of 52,037 on a vote
of l00,S35, with registration of l42,,
666. Two years ago his majority was
$3.50. Mayor Halls majority over
Ledwith falls over $4,000 short of Coy.
Hoffman; it amounts to only 23,Srl.
The Democratic majority in the State
cannot be given with accuracy but it is
certainly not less than 10000 and may
turn out to be considerably more. Ac-
cording to the best information yet at
tainable the Assembly stands 66 Re-
publicans to 62 Democrats, but as sew
eral districts are somewhat in doubt
the actual returns may vary the result
and possibly change the majority. We
have lost three members of Congress in
New York, in the 18th, 18th and 3Oth
districts.
THE above is from a confessedly Rad
ical source and Is to be regarded ac'
cordingly.-ED. REGISTER.
New YORK, November lot is now
stated that Rogers, Democrat, is elected
to Congress from the Sixteenth dictrict
by l65 majority.
The latest Assembly count makes
sixty-fve Republicans and sixty-three

doubtful.
