IHE BANKRUPT LAw.-Mr. Clawson,
one OF the registrars in bankruptcy for
thls State, gives the following points in
regard to the Bankrupt Act:
AS doubts have been expressed as to
Inc extent OF the relief afforded by tho
Bankrupt Act OF 1867, and the several
amendments thereto. I deem it proper to
make the following statement:
The amendment to the Act. approved
lUth juno, 1872, allows to the bankrupt
all the property exempted by the laws of
each State of force in 1871. in addition
to the $500 worth of property aliowed
under the original Act.
Ibis gives to each bankrupt in thia
State 50, 600 worth OF property, to wit:
Sl,O0O worth Of real estate and 81 900
worth OF personal estate. After the
bankrupt has been discharged, this be-
comes his absolute estate, to dispose of
as he chooses, either by sale, gift, devise
or otherwise.
IL Is not necessary, as has been sur~
posed that the estate of the person ap-
plying shall pay fifty per cent. of all h:s
debts: but if the estate which comes to
the hands OF the assignee is sufficient 10
pay nifty per cent. of his individual
debts, contracted since Ist January.
1861, exclusive of the debts contracted
before that time, he is entitled to fulI
discharge from all his debts. If itisnot
s:uihcient, still he is discharged from all
individual debts contracted before that
tlme and from all his security debts
whether contracted before or nfter that
time. leaving nothing to be paid but his
individual debts contracted after lat
January, 1869.

IH1NK OF Ir.-Under the infamous
validating bill, special tax can be levied
at any time, by the State Auditor, to pav
interest on stolen bonds. The ring at
Columbia are trying to force the Auditor
to levy special tax of nine mills on thA
dollar, to be collected next month, and
then another tax of fourteen mills will
be collected in November. Can Won
support the men who voted this money
out OF your pockets? Can you expect to
prosper under such ruinous and corrupt
taxation? Can you save anything for
your children and old age? We think
not.-Beayfort Times, Republican.

The ELECTION IN MA1NE.-This is the
hrst State election which will attract apy
general attention. It is very evident,
from the frantic appeals and the extraor-
dinnry efforts that are being made by the
Administration party to save the State.

alarmed at the prospects before them.

financial aid. Grant himself con see that
it will not answer to permit the Admins
tratlon Speaker of the lower house of
Congress to be defeated, and that such a
result would be fatal to him in all the
elections which are to follow. It is
already apparent from the accounts
which come to us that the Republican
detection in Maine is very large. No
stone will be left unturned, no effort be
spared, no point left untouched by the
'ads" in their desperation. The State
will be Hooded with money in larger
quantities than ever before in political
campaign in New England.
The Democrats and the Liberal Re-
publicans have been making a vigorous
canvass thus far-a canvass already fruit

Liberal ticket will bear in mind that they

or trick to secure the advantage. AL

THE WORST STORM EVER KNOWN
Presently the rain descended, the light
nings began to play md the thunder to
roar. This was about o'clock. In
very few minutes the storm was ut its
height, and ragged with fury sufficient
to appRl the stoutest hearts. The at
mosphere was entirely surcharged with
electricity, and each flash of the fluid

ihls storm passed away after about an
hours duration. It was followed by
another equally severe, but with the ad-
dltionai phenomenon of clap OF thun-
der from clear sky. The storm seemed
to have exhausted itself, the sun was
shining brightly over the city, when sud.
denly there came the most appalling clap
OF thunder we ever heard. It seemed to
burst everywhere with equal distinctness.
II was q perfect surprise to everybody.
1t was sharp, like the crack of rifle,
and loud as the discharge OF 2OO-pound
Parrott. 1t was the death throe OF the
storm, and with it passed away for the
time the contending forces OF nature.
People now began to look around for
evidences OF the destructive work of the
storm, for it was impossible that two
such terrific elcctrca. commissions should
occur without doing damage somewhere.
Tho last peal of thunder frightened
everybody. Pedestrians were alarmed
by its suddenness and its vigorous re-
port, and. supposiDg that it had struck

selves and fled from tho imaginary dan.

that the owner of the farm on which Leo

the first battle of Bull Run, July 18, 1851,
was fought. Fleeing from the midst of
