VULGAR LANauAaB.-There is as much
connection between the words and the
thoughts as there is between the thoughts
and actions. The latter are not only the
expression of the former but they have a
power to react upon the soul, and leave
the stain of corruption there. A young
man who allows himselfto use one vui-
gar or profane word, has not only shown
that there is foulspot upon hismind, but
by the utterance of that wordahe extends
that spot and infames .it:tili, by indui-
genoe, it. will pollute and ruin the SOUL

improper words are pronounced byit. you
will soon be able also to control Tho mind

The Bankrupt Act.

As the operations of this most useful
law are being more clearly defined and
understood, the community are becoming
more and more satisfied with it's provis-
ions. az - k4S
We still think it susceptible of advan-
geous amendment. Especially do we think
the General Orders made by the Supreme
Court require revision. .a se =, az
A misapprehension as to the effect of
what is called the ''6fty per cent. clause -
has, we think, a good deal detractcd from
the usefulness of this law. Itssupposed
that no petitioner is entitled to discharge
unless his assets pay fifty per cent. of the
claims against his estate. This is an er.
ror. 1t is true that the Act, as originally
passed, had such clause, the operation
of which was postponed one year. Be-
fore the expiration of that year Congress
passed an amendatory act which repealed
the clause, and provided, in place thereof,
that no petitioner should be entitled to
his discharge after the lst day of January,
1869, unless his assets shall be equal to ff-
ty per cent. of the claims proved against
his estate, upon which he shall be liable
as principal debtor, unless the assent in
writing of a majority in number and val
ue of such of his creditors as shall have
proved their claims before the Register be
obtained. There is no provision for ae-
ccrtaining the value of these "assets," pri.
ma facie, they amount to the sum at which
they are set down in the schedules, and in
tho absence of proof to the contrary, it
would obviously be the duty of the Reg
lister to certify conformity" in case such
sum were equal to one-balf of the amount
of the claims proved before him. In o
large majority of cases, no claims at all
are proved; and, in such case, the Dis
trict Court for New Jersey held that, al
though no assets were reported in the
schedules, yet, as no debts were proved,
the petitioner was entitled to his dis
charge.
But, upon the other branch of the case,
the bankrupt has only to get a majority in
number and amount of such of his credit
ors as have proved their claims before the
Register to sign simple consent to his
discharge. This it would seem, would be
no very difficult task. The small proper
ton of the creditors who are accustomed
to prove their claims-perhaps on an av-
erage not one in thousand-renders it
in many cases no task at all. 1t is said
that in pre- rcceedings under the Massachu-
setts Insolvent Act-which contains q sim
liar provision, though moro complicated
and difficult-not single case has OCCUR
red in which the petitioner failed to get
his discharge. 4
We trust this most wholesome act,
which has already had so beneficial an ef-
feet upon our commercial system, may
from time to timo pass under such reyis-
ions as to silence all clamor for its repeal.

Tho Chicago Tribune says that the last
heard from the Cuban army, 1t was in the United
states proposing TO sail for Cuba" The Tribune
doesn't believe there is any revolution in Cuba,
nor any republican government nor have any
battles been fought there. What fools, then, the
spansrds must be to send 10000 regular troops
to Cuba since October, 1868, and to raise and
equip 10000 volunteer soldiers in the island, In
addition TO the 90, 900 men they have always kept
there regularly. And what fools to spend four or
live millions from their bankrupt treasury to fit
out thirty gunboats to guard the coast Of the
island, in addition to the fourteen men-ofwar
they had on that duty before.
The creduli,y Of the Tribune is as astopish-
ing as II Is to find its sympaIhes on tho side Of
slavery in such a contest as is now going forward
In Cuba.

Inc second step ON the road TO specie pay

II is not enough that tho Supreme Court las de-
ciled that legal tender notes are not good tender
In payment OF debts ex oressly payable In coin
whether such debts we're contracted before or since
the passage Of the legal tender act nor on contracts
payable in the lawful money OF tho United States Il
such contracts were made before the passage OF that
act No; enough. because only threo Judges have 80
'eeided-two having d. sented and Il T. not certain
that a full bench OF seven Judges may not othe wise

recent Judgment against legal tenders. The
proposition" says the journal, "is in our judg-

ing the most corrupting agency Of political inlu
