Congress having just amended the Bankruptt
law so that nearly all parties can be discharged
from their debts unrestricted by the hfty per
cent. clause so-called, another opportunity offers
to secure the benefits of this most effective and
permanent measure Of relief: The abovc-namccIdI
will make bankrupt business a speciality; will
procure discharges on the most moderate terms,
and transact ali business in that line ut prices
which cannot fail to be satisfactory. Being Uni
ted States 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 promptly as II Rich
mond or elsewhere, and at much less expense t.
parties. 1t may he 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 on " rGal
relief now offered to parties struggling IN the
hopeless bondage of old debts. Address person
