The Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
m : :Sun says, it is probable, that so far from
the President favoring general amnesty" he
may ask Congress to extend that feature Of the
ku Klux act which provides for the suspension
of the writ of habeas corpus in the South, be-
yond the end of the coming session, to which
it is now limited. 1t is thus evidently Intended
to hold the martial law programme over the
South beyond the presidential election.

ADVERTISING BANKRUPT ALES.-Tne
Clarke Courier says I'VE were called upon
by an assignee in bankruptcy to print handbllS
for the sale of some personal property, when
we asked the gentleman if he did not wish the
advertisement published in our paper. tic re-
piled that the decree Of Judge Rives court
was that it should appear in one paper aud
that paper was named in the decree-a radl-
cal paper-and published at Lynchburg, up
wards of one hundred and fifty miles tiom
where the sale takes place.
This practice goes far to account tor the eS-
traordinary low prices at which lands are sac
rifced under these United States court sales.
In the lower counties good average farms with
improvements have been knocked down by the
dozen at from seventy five cents to three or
four dollars per acre And we have heard of
similar sales, made in Alexandria OF property
in this quarter 1t enables the hangers on OF
the court to get possession Of good proper
ty by the freebooter S title.
Sometimes. the bankrupt, or friend Tor
him. buys it back at low rate. This Is OF
course far better result than the other: but
it docs not greatly Improve the fraudulent
character of the transaction; the creditors be-
ing wrongcd in either case.
Thus administered the federal bankrupt
law become, a premium on dishonesty, aud
turns the United States courts into courts Of
Injustice. - Winchester Nr'cs

The case Of the State Of Maryland VS.. the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad involving the
constitutionality of the payment to the State of
one-ffth of the gross revenue from passengers
on the Washington Branch, came before the
Superior Court of Baltimore yesterday, and
was sent on to the Court of Appeals, whose
decision being then final one it will be in the
power of the defendants to obtain a writ of
