Qua New PAPER CURRENCY.-l
july, 1866, letters patent were issued.
through the Scientific American Patent
Agency, to Jas NJ. Wilcox, bank note
paper manufacturer near Philadelphia.
for an improvement in paper, to prevent
counterfeiting. As this peculiar pqpsr
has been adopted by the Treasury De
partment for United Strtes securities, and
reaches the hand of everybody in the
shape of greenbacks, a few words in ex-
PLANTATION will be useful to all handlers of
money. tr>
Protection in paper. rs lin engraving,
consists in PECULIARLY and in difficulty of
imitation, nothing else. Many years ago
bank note paper was made peculiar by
the mixing of red blue, and other colored
silk shreds in the pulp before converting
it into sheets of paper This popularity
was considered test of genuineness, and
was so to a certain extent. Paper made
in that way. however, came into tho open
market, and could be bought by counter
feiters as well rs by bank officers and
engravers. Mr.. Wilcox has added a
new feature in the introduction of colored
shreds, which makes paper so peculiar
that it cannot be made by hand process,
or by cylinder machine, but oaly by the
better class or Fourdrinier machine. -
Even here special machinery is required
to locate the colored shreds in certain
parts of the notes and not in others.
As this machinery exists only in bis
own mill, and the process is protected by
patent, the paper is kept out of the mar-
ket, and the Government and the public
advantage of its exclusveness. The mill
is guarded night and day by an armed
force in the pay Of the Government, to
prevent robbery. and there is every rea-
son to believe that this paper will be kept
out of unlawful hands.
The new fifty cent note which the d.
partment is preparing &c issue will be up
on paper of this description; the localized
blue fibefs occupying one end only OF the
notes, while all the remainder will have
the indiscriminate red. The double pro
cess of manufacture will be shown and
the exclusive feature will be prominent.
The thanks Of the community are due
to the Secretary Of the Treasury for his
earnest and well directed efforts to pro
tect them from counterfeits; and their at
teution is called TO proper understand
ing of this new feature in protection.
As it has been placed under the
guardianship Of the Department it is be
lieved to be effectu,'l, and we are glad to
have an agency in bringing it into use.

Gently rendered au important decision OH

The point waz rnised in the case of Henry
Bickerforl, bankrupt, on appeal from the
District Court that the constitution en-
powered Congress to enact only "uuiform
laws On the subject OF bankruptcy through
ont the United States; that the present
Bankrupt law exccpts from the schedule Of
property required to he assigned by the
bankrupt rs the condition of obtaining his
discharge, first, all property exempt from
execution BY the laws of the Uni
ted Stasess and, secondly, all
property exempt from execution
under the several State exemption laws in
force at ths dato OF the passage of the
act " Ths laws OF the State of Missouri ex-
empted, when owned by the head OF fam
ily, 1eo acres of land, or any real estate in
town or city not exceeding 81, 900 in value,
AZ homestead. Under this Law, the judge
Of the District Court had allowed Bicker-
ford Fl 900 of the value Of an une1pired
term Of i lease, and from this allowance
the appeal Was taken on the grounds, first,
that the leasehold estate Was not real prop
erty, and, secondly, that az the Missouri
exemption differed from that OF the other
States, any net Of Congress which
gave bankrupt the right to
nn exemption Of larger amount
Of property. in some States than he was
entitled to, ~onld not be "uniform in all
the State-," and hence would yiolate tho
Constitution Of the United States. The
cizcnit Court held that, under the statutes
of Missouri, a leasehold estate in land was
not mere chattel-real, but was real estate,
and that, inasmuch rs the act of Congress
is tho same in its terms rs to ali the States,
granting to hanf1apta in each whatever
exemption the State statutes had thereto
fore granted to debtors. this is uniform
bankrupt law for all the States, and con-
stitutional- The point is an ingenious and

The present Registry law Of Illinois was
enacted six or eight yeara ago, for the
purpose OF preventing frauds on the ballot
i'o1, and its adoption had nothing more to
10 with the registration of negro voters
thnu with the man in the moon. The ne
gro votes could be polled without registry
law, an easily as with it; but negtoes were
not enfranchised for many years after its
passage.
Registry laws, OF any other safeguards
against repeating. ballot-box stufing, and
svind1ing at elections, are very unpopular
with certain classes; but the time is COM
ing, and We Judge il is not far distant, when
the Registry law Of Illinois will be our sole
dependence in the struggle to maintain the
right Of self-goverument in this city. How
long even that will suffice depends, at last,
upon the virtue and intelligence Of the
people
