CHARLES WHITTLESEY,
UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER,
AND
ATTORNEY AND COUNSELLOR n
BANkR u PTCY.

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 offers
to secure the benefits of this most effective and
permanent measure of relief. The above-named
will make bankrupt business specially; will
procure discharges on the most moderate terms
and transact all business in that line at prices
which cannot fail to be satisfactory. Being Uni
ted States Commissioner he will endeayor 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 promptly as in Rich
mond 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 bankrupt law, is the only real
hopeless bondage of old debts Address person
