get their solemn obligations as to ap.
propriate more than doub'o that
amount. Doubtless moro "light"
was let in upon their iudia-rubber
conscioDoos than tho public has re-.
ceived.
Another Infamous act Of this body
was tho imposition Of tax that
amounts to oppression, not to say rob-
berry. IL the General Assembly had
an eye to the true interest and welfare
oftho whule State, IL could well zee
tho fatal policy Of Imposing a tax that
absorbs the very life blood cf tho
State, thereby re,urdins its material
progress, aud excluding capital and
immigration from it. The people
would be content in pay ing an exhori-
tant tax, had they assurances that it
would be properly disposed Of and not
squandered away. Nor con tho
d rinant party in this State ever ex.
pect the credit Of the State to bs re.
stored until they act reform, and not
merely speak it.
Tho Bankrupt Aot-Its Proposed Repeal
by Congress.
We arc glad 70 observe that q bill
has passed. tho United States House of
Representatives for the repeal of the
Bankrupt Act, and We doubt not that
it will be finally adopted by both
branches Of Congress. The question
has boon often raised rs to the con-
stitutionality Of tho law, and al
though its enactment originally may
have had good design, in most in,
stances what good tho.e is in the law
has been certainly perverted, und its
provisions made to subsurv, bad
end. The Act itself has been the
means Of tho commission Of more
fraud than has been afforded by any
other Act of our National Legislature
that wo know Of. Of course there are
exceptional cases whore no advantage
has bean takon to commit fraud, bu,
generally speaking, it has been used
for no other purpose than to r,licve
ono's self of just indebtedness to the
dotriment of ones creditor. And j,
has always been an ircxplicable mys
terry to us how man, recognized al
an upright on honorable citizen, could
seemingly pretend to respect the bind
Ing nature of a solemn contract ant
then by one fell swo"p destroy the
enect OF all obligations entered int,
by him, leaving his creditors but u,
insignificant pi,tauce to satisfy THEN
honest claims. Our view Of the case
may be characterized as sold fogyisb,'
but there arc such things rs honesty
and dishonesty, and there is no mid
die ground between them. We do not
wish to be understood as saying that
man in taking tho benefit of the
Bankrupt Act necessarily does q dis.
honest thing but we do say that the
majority Of Bankrupt cases arc un
blushing frauds, and if properly in.
vcstigated, would be found to be such
Looking at it in this light, we hail with
no little pleasure tho probable repeal
OF law that has, in our humble opin.
ion, donc the country infinitely more
harm than good, and is calculated tc

KICKAPOO ISLAND.
The Inhabitants Again on the
War Path.

Not long ago our readers were informed
of a fracas which occurred on the little isl,
10 The Missouri just above the city, in which
several men, one woman and heavily
loaded shot gnn figured conspicuously. Al
taat time q truce Was declared between the
parties, but day before yeste. d ~ the hatches
vas dug up anew, and We are called upon to
chronicle another exciting encounter. Smith,
the man who got judgment in the case
against his neighbor, when the first battle
took place appeared yesterday afternoon he
fore the Judge with head on him about the
eize of half bushel, both eyes nearly closed,
his ear rubbed to shreds, and stated that he
had been having another little difficulty
''over thar where he lived" From the
mans appearance il was very evident that
he spoke the truth. He staies that Kicka-
poo Island is regular she'll bole." that bis
tormenters have eaten their meat "blood
raw" for the rast three weeks just on his &C.
count, and now he calmly asks that the in
habitanis, with the exception Of himself, be
exterminated at once. He swore out a war
rant against Mcdowell and wife, Of the Is.
land, who be says followed him night before
last for nearly two miller, wayiaid him in 4
lonely place in the road and then and there
did put the 'Msnssrf on bin, which he finds
so exceedingly uncomfortable and bears with
such i'll grace. Constable Cross Visited the
island last evening for the purpose Of secur.
ing the belligerant couple, aad an examine
hon vii! probably be held to-day.
