Senators Edmunds, Thurman and Freiag-
heysen, three Of the ablest men and sound
est lawyers in the Senate constitute the sub
committee on the bankrupt law, and will de-
note the recess to the formation of bill
to be presented as substitute for the House
bill which passed in such great haste, repeal
ing the. bankrupt law. The sentiment has
been expressed by Senator Edmunds that
the law should be retroactive to take in ev-
cry case oppressive to debtors, by yirture Of
the involuntary feature Of the present law,
which may be instituted during the recess,
or has been instituted 1t will be thus seen
that the legal ability of the country acknowl-
edges the necessity Of protecting the debtor
class in these trying times, and that the
constant harpiug on the courageous! bank

judgment of solid men, who are placed in

hsons ths sfsaitors pro ran ma lsss me poor
victim 40 freeto stfpgslesaloag the best he
can. The State court takes the property Of
the same debtor, gives it preferred credi-
tors, after satisfying the lawyers, commits
sloners, sheriffs, clerks, austiopeer, printer.
etc, etc leaves the debto4 pennyless with
two thirds of his debts still |nadju'ted, and
a gloomy, revolving future before him. The
one is definite and determinAte method
Of settlement and an estoppel of costs and
vexations. The other is unsatisfactory, IN
conclusive, with perpetual costs until the
property is all consumed, and yet the debt
not discharged.
Upon every consideration of equity and
humanity, and of public policy, we contend
that there should be a bankrupt law as a
part Of the irreversble policy Of the gov
ernment 1t should not be in tho power Of
money influence to weigh down and destroy
the happiness and productive energies Of
nine -teuths Of the business people, and con-
sequently the creative capacities of comr.iu-
nifty. The Incorporation Of such Jaw into
the jurisprudence Of the govern nt, uni
form in its operations all over the country
would the better regulate the interests Of
commerce and trade, keep in active demand
the energies Of the people, augment the
wealth Of communities, and stimulate uni
versal industry. =
In this connection. we venture the opinion
although we know but little of tho techni
calitics of law, that the recent decision o
Judge Bond in bankruptcy will be reversed
| b. the Supreme Court, when test case i
made, which m lst, 10 the nature Of things
soon be. The bankrupt law, created by ex
press warrant from the Constitution, contem
plates the destruction of contracts-the eman
cipatlon Of the debtor, and the wiping GU
Of old scores. Ia equity one honest debt i
as sacred as an other, whether it be open &C
I count, sealed instrument, or otherwise Th
bankrupt law does nos propose to discrimi
pate between the stages and grades of deb
or recognize priorities. It strikes at all a
like. 1t meets. them all, pro rata, with tn
assets Of the debtor, md discharges them al
uniformly. That is the principle which an
mates it. It's object is to relieve the con
fessed bankrupt, and it can only do, SC
in the spirit Of uniformity, by treating al
proven debts alike. s5

Too Much Confidence.

1t is a common < preston that it is theabate-
ment of confidence between man and man
that has caused the stringency in money mat
ters and the consequent stagnation in bust :
ness. This is doubtless true. But the ques-
ton arises, is nos the exercise of almost un-
limited confidence, the cause Of more harm
than good Il is peculiar trait in Virginia
character to repose confidence in every man
who processes TO be a gentleman, wears good
clothes and has good 1aanners. 1t is the ba-
Bis Of the ruinous credit system that prevails
now and has ever prevailed in this State and
from the effects Of which many good men
have been utterly Frustrated in their business
enterprises. 1t is the proneness of
men to generous confidence that makes
it questionable whether too much confidence
does not operate against the best interests Of
community 1t sterner adherence to bust
ness rules were adopted as the controlling a.
gent in business transactions, and trading
carried on between acquaintances and neigh
bors as though they were strangers, the mon
etary condition Of the country would be far
better than it is now. Too much confidence
is represented by piles ofrromises to pay, and
unadj usted accounts, in which all the profits
Of many of our merchants are locked up
Zoo much confidence has created the neces-
sity for the bunkrups law, and driven many
an honest, well-meaniug man to its protec-
ton, when if he had his own be never would
have felt the pressure of debt. It would
be better if men would educate themselves up
to business rules, curtail the credit system,
and have fewer claims resting upon contin-
gencies. It Is very pretty sounding theory
to declars confidence in our fellow men, but
when our fellow men ask us practically to
live and transact business on confidence, and
that alone. it is very different thing. 1t
would be better for all if this Unlimited con-
6dence were not made the basis of trade, and
men would bring themselves down to fair
exchange of substantial equivalents in their
business intercourse. Whenever men be-
come universally honest--the presumption
upon which confidence Is based then conf
dence will be legitimate and proper. But
SO long as every other man you meet is SEEK
ing to get the advantage in business trans
actions, too much confidence is dangerous
virtue.
