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 called, another opportunity Of
fers to secure the benefits of this most effective
and permanent measure Of relief. The above
named will make bankrupt business a specially;
will procure discharges on the most moderate
terms, and transact all business in that line at
prices which cannot fail to be satisfactory. Be-
ing U. s. Commissioner, he will end eaver to
visit the different counties on court days. md
thus save parties the trouble and expense OF
eevcrs trips to Alexandria in begi ming and
proceeding with their cases. Discharges can
be obtained here before Register Hill as prompt
~ as IN Richmond or elsewhere and g. much
less expense to parties 1t may be added that
Homestead exemption, which it ia now beloved
will be secured to the bankrupt under the bank
rupt law, is tho only real relief now offered to
parties struggling in the hopeless bondage OF

large increase in both respects The fact notice

from distance, the farmers Immediately around Hen

learn through private source The receipts were in
excess Of the outlay and so, the Times remarks the
Fair was, financially success. We are pleased to
record that citizens from this place were successful CON

beauty of workmanship, contemporary says, sur
passes anything he has ever seen. Mr. Chase, of the
firm of Kimbe & Chase, carriage makers here, took
the premium with an elegant buggy made at their
shops on Milan street. Messrs. D. 3. Martin, J. G..
Elstner and F. N. Hicks of Shreveport mentioned
as among the committee selected to award premiums
on cotton, the decision Of which committee is repre-
sented to have given general satisfaction.
This was the third annual Fair held in Henderson,
and although in respects it may not have entirely
the expectations of its friends, yet hope they
will not weary of well doing. They could not expect
in the infancy of the organization, to get up such exh

A CHEAP MARKEr.-As proof that saddlery
and harness merchants sell cheap as those o.
New Orleans cattle men who 90 down to sell theil
stock almost invariably prefer returning here to buy
saddles &c, rather than be troubled with the unprof
able inconvenience of shipping them. Nor is the sad
dlery and harness business exceptional in this regard
for the place is ovestocked with goods of every de-
scrip:ion, and venture the assertion that can
go into this market with the cash and buy cheap
retail he could buy in New York at retail To some
this may seem reckless if not an absurd assertion,
but we heard it made the other day by merchant
doing business in Tennessee, but now visit here,
and who could have had no motive in misrepresenting
He said moreover, that from his observation here he
satisfied this the cheapest market for dry goods
in the South and that his profits in Tennessee, where
living infinitely cheaper than it here, much
larger than those realized by Shreveport merchants.
