eonst!tutionality Of the Bankrupt Law.

On Tuesday evening last Judge !.
W. G. Smith, of the Hastings Court
of Staunton, rendered decision involv-
ing the constitutionality Of the bank
rupt law, according to our apprehen-
sion of it. in which he maintained, sub
stantially, that the amendment to the
bankrupt law was unconstitutional. al
though he did not express it i'll SO many
words The case was this:
Ceases administrator instituted suit
in :chancery against jacob tRohr to sub
ject house belonging to defendant to
sale in satisfaction Of a Judgment lien.
There WAS decree for sale and the
property advertised, but before the sale
the defendant had filed his petition in
bankruptcy, and obtained certificate
Of protection. which he exhibited to the
commissioner of sale Oh the day the
property was offered for sale. The
commissioner proceeded notwithstand-
ing this, to sell the property. and it was
announced as sold to J. j. Points, who
was ignorant of the fact that the defend
ant had gone into bankruptcy. Learn
ing this fact, however, soon after the
Transaction, the purchaser refused to
comply with the terms of sale, alleging
as a reason that the defendant had be
come bankrupt, and that this court
had no further control over his proper
ty. A rule was issued against the pur-
chaser, and upon the trial Of said rule
the court decided that it had jurisdic
ton of the case to the exclusion of the
bankrupt court, and required the pur-
chaser TO comply with the terms of sale
within twenty days, and directed the
property to be resold should lie fail to
do so. The case was argued before his

PENDANT
Judge Smith followed the decisions
of the Supreme Courts of Massachu-
sets and Pennsylvania in the cases Of
Tuesley Is Robinson and Fehley .rs.
Barr, respectively, as reported in the
notes of Bump on Practice in Bankrupt
cy recently issued, on page 140 In
these it is decided that Judgment liens
constitute special title to the proper
ty thus mcumbered; that such proper
ty does not pass into the hands of the
assignee, but such only as may be claim
ed as the debtors after the Judgment
lien is satisfied This has reference to
cases where the lien obtained before the
passage Of the amended bankrupt law
and suit was instituted to enforce it.
The cases reported in Bump as hav-
ing been determined in the Massachu
sets and Pennsylvania Supreme Courts
are strongly stated.
While the constitutionality of the
amended bankrupt law, it is true, was
not discussed either in the argument by
counsel, or in the opinion by the court
the decision certainly comprehends the
co,stitutionali'y Of that .lct.-Stoemton

Horrible Murder.

The Philadelphia papers announce
the discovery of murder near Jen-
nersville, Chester county, Pa, marked
with the mutilation Of the remains OF
the victim. The murdered man is said
to have come from Baltimore. He ar.
rived at Jennersyille, which is on the
line of the Baltimore Central Railroad,
Oh the 30th Of June, and said that he
was an agent. w L. Undertook, the
supposed murderer, came from neigh
boring village, with vehicle, and the
two went out riding. Undertook come
back alone Blood was noticed on the
vehicle, but this he explained by some
plausible story. The continued pres
ence of buzzards over particular To-
cality in tho woods attracted attention,
and an examination being made the
body Of the murdered man was found.
The throat was cut, ard the body stab
bed in three places. The legs and arms
had been severed from the body and
buried in separate place.
Plumber is supposed to have been the
incentive to the deed, The dispatch
says that Undertook had been or was
now Baltimore policeman, but no one
of that name has been attached to the
force for the last six years. lii the
somewhat celebrated Goss life insur-
ance case, tried in one of the Baltimore
courts last month, person named w.

A RUSSIAN COLUMN REFUSED Ely
INTENSE HEAT.-Part of the Russian
army moving against Khiva had to re-
treat because of the horrible weather,
losing sixty men by sunstrokes-
Another wing, however, persevered and
occupied the place. The London
Saturday Reyiesc says;
''The vicissitudes Of climate which
the soldiers of all the detachments had
to undergo, may be judged by the fact
that when the troops moving from
Orsnburg reached the northern end of
the Sea Of Aral, they found it sheet
of ice, while they had afterwards to
march through sands, the surface of
which, to q depth Of four or five
fingers length, CLOVIS like an oven.
The little water that can be found in
the steppes is brackish, and il was dis
covered that some, at least, of the
wells had been poisoned by the
Khiyans. The difficulty was to get to

WOODSTOCK VIRGINIA.

The Winchester Ne.cs replies to g
correspondent who would stake our
.euecess at the State election on the
vindication of the late Legislature. We
can endorse the views expressed by the
Ne,cs and We are fully confident that
the discussion of the acts of that body
would add no strength to the party.
With the exception of the laws passed
about the close of the session, the acts
of the General Assembly have been
fully discussed by our state papers, and
and certainly nothing can be gained by
a renewal of that discussion. We
qu tie from the Meacs.:
''.As to the merits or dement's of the
legislature, its reproyers are content,
and its defenders ought TO be at this
time silent Its work, for good or evil,
has mostly been done; and to revive the
discussion of it for the express purpose
of promoting conservative success next
fall shows Il lamentable lack of discre-
tion, to say the least, on the part Of its
friends. If SO many difficulties already
beset the path ofvictory, why gratui-
tously add to them by introducing q
post nortens eff the defunet Assembly
We care NIT to encourage so impoli-
tic:a move, and shall only say that the
Views expressed by us of the course of
the Legislature have rather been streng-
thened than weakened by reflection and
by observation of the notorious results
of its action. The State credit has
gone down; land has fallen also: r.i.-
roads in the hands of Virginia mana
gers have been brought absolutely to
stand still by the refusal of outside
capitalists to place more money
under the shadow of reputation: the
farmers, to whose special advantage
all legislation was avowedly shaped
are no whit relieved; and it is impossi
BILE to place ones finger on any positive
benefit to the people at large that has
resulted from its leading measures
The alleged negative relief in the mat
Ter of taxation is fictitious and delusive
since it will certainly have to be follow
ed. next winter or the one after, by an
increase of taxation.
The rate of interest is not reduced
from twelve to eight; but, as determin
ed by bank rates, from nine to eight
The shaver is still abroad, in stronger
force than before the nominal reduction
but capital has certainly been to q con
siderable degree driven beyond our Dor
ders.
Let, however, say we. these things
be covered up, in view of new strug
gle. Better anything than negro supre
macy. That stares us in the face, az
nearly everybody is beginning to 'rea
lie Every one ofordinary intelligence
is anxious to testify his adherence o
it at the polls.
