The Bankruptcy Bill.

The United States Congress since its
first meeting has had under considera.
ton IN improved bankruptcy bill
something that would more generally
than the present law meet the demands
OF the people. The old law, 1t is
claimed, enables any man who cannot
promptly collect a debt Of $3.50 to put
any debtor, whether single individual
or a firm or corporation, in n state Of
bankruptcy, and compel the debtor, in
q panic which renders all property I'M.
salable, TO stop business and sacrifice
m establishment which it may have 70.
quired years to build up. and which
might pay all its debts and save great
deal from the wreck il allowed to go
on in expectation OF easier times. The
United States Senate bill, instead Of
permitting any single creditor with
barely $3.50 ct stake to throw great
business establishment into bankruptcy
and compel II to be wound up, requires
the concurrence Of One.fourth OF all the
creditors to commence proceedings in
bankruptcy.
Another important amendment re-
lates to the sale Of property. Sales by
auction for immediate cash in stringent
times vixen money is not to be had, is
ruin to the creditors whose interests II
is the purpose Of q bankruptcy law to
protect. The amendment clothes the
court with q large discretion in ordering
the sale Of d bankrupt's property SO as
to realize the greatest amount it could
be expected TO bring. In regard TO real
estate, it permits it TO be sold on terms
which invite competition by allowing
the buyer to pay one.fourth down, and
give notes for three equal payments Of
the rest at intervals not exceeding siS
months, the notes being secured by q
mortgage on the property.

What the Grange is Doing.

The Order of Patrons of Husbandry
Is creating a perfect reformation
throughout the rural districts of Ken
tuck, and the improvement in the farms
clearly shows the happy effects. For
several weeks the editor of the Agri-
culturist has been addressing from two
TO FIVE thousand farmers and their
wives and. daughters, in various count
les, and there now exists more cheer
full and happy state of mind among
the agricultural class that at any for
mer period in their history. The Or
der has frightened their prospects, So
cially, as well as financially.
Many outsiders seem to think that
the Oranges are founded only upon
pecuniary selfshness; that they are a
combination created for the sole pur-
pose of cheapening tea, coffee and SUI
gar. and of raising the price OF wheat,
corn and potatoes. This is not exact
~ true. There is no doubt but that
desire to make farming pay better had
very much to 10 in the founding of
the Order, that thus far much of the
time and energy of the several Oranges
has been devoted to the question Of
prices And there is no doubt but
that the pecuniary phase of the ques-
ton has great deal to do in bringing
In members, and satisfying them while
In. Still there has been much already
accomplished and there is as much
more among the possibilities of the
future awaiting the Patrons, that is not
connected with dollars and cents. The
Patrons are not only learning how to
make money, but how TO spend it in a
more sensible manner. They are learn
ing that they have brains that need i'm
provement as well as farms. The Grange
enables them to meet each other, COM
pare notes, discuss questions pertain
ing to government as well as grain (;
finance as well as fences;and to sharpen
up their intellects by neighborly fric-
ton. The Grange furnishes, or ought
30 furnish, them with books. and the
discussions on subjects of interest
ought to give them taste for reading
them. The social phase Of the Order
Is one of the chief attractions and ben
efts. 1t gives place and motive to
neighborly meetings. 1t gives the far
mer's wife an excuse for Slipping down
from her home tread-mill for a half
day, combing out the kinks from her
hair. and donning her best calico, and
going out for good pleasant afternoon
with her sisters in affection. She goes
home TO her usual toll refreshed in
body and encouraged in soul. 1t
makes better, more social and more
harmonious neighbors, thus dispensing
with many of those little vexatiOns
and unnecessary law suits, that do no.
body any good but the lawyers. In a
word, there is no limit TO the posi-
bilities of good within the reach of

THE PLATFORM.


The representatives of the Demo-
cratic and Conservative party of Ten
nessee, in convention assembled, most
cordially invite all good and true
men, who desire to increase the pros
perlty Of the people of the State, and
preserve her honor untarnished, to
unite with US in following out the fol-
lowing principles, to-wit:
Il. That all honest Ia Dor should be
protected, and receive itsjust reward.
-. That the burden of government
should be borne by the whole property
of the country; that all assessments
of taxes should be equal, uniform and
just, and no improper discrimination
should be made against any species of
property.
-. That we favor strict construc-
ton of the Constitution of the United
States, and insist that no power should
be exercised by the General Govern
ment that is not clearly delegated or
clearly implied in the necessary exer-
else of the powers so delegated.
l. That We oppose all monopolies,
rings and combinations formed for the
oppression of the people; that We are
for the abolition OF all useless and IN
necessary Offices: for the proper re-
ductiOn of all excessive salaries; for
the most rigid economy in the admin
lstratlOn of the State Government !;
for all necessary reforms in the law SO
as to make its execution speedy, just
aud certain; that We hold the collec-
tors OF revenue to a strict accounta-
bility in the collection and application
of said revenue; that we deplore the
existence of all Indebtedness, Federal,
State, county and municipal, and de-
mand that no more taxes shall be laid
upon the people than shall be found to
be essentially necessary for the sup
port of the State Government admin
lstered on principles of the most rigid
economy, and for the payment OF its
just debts and obligations and the pre-
servation of its credit and honor unfair
nished, and therefore opposed to an
increase of taxation.
D That we favor the abolition of the
present odiOus national banking sys-
TEN and the payment of the bonds of
the government by issuance of its non
bearing interest notes according to the
contract expressed and implied at the
time of the creation of such obliga-
cations, and repeal of the present
oppressive Federal tariff, and the en-
actment of law solely with view to
the collection of the necessary revenue.
IS. That we denOunce all legislation
that seeks to interfere with the indi-
vidual right of the citizen to select
his own associates. aud particularly
what is known as the supplementary
Civil Rights bill pending before the
Federal Congress, as pllpable viola
ton of the Constitution, intended to
vex, harrass. Cypress and degrade the
people of the Southern States, and
productive of untold social and poit-
ical evils to both races, and which We
should resist by all legal and constitu-
tiOnal means in our power.

A Letter from an Irishman.

Here is an Irish gentleman's letter
to his son in college: MY Dear Son :
| write to send you two pair of my old
breeches, that you may have new
coat made out of them. Also some
new socks which your mother has knit
by cutting down some of mine. Your
mother sends you two pounds, without
my knowledge, and for fear you may
not use it wisely j have kept back half
and only send you one. Your mother
and are well, except that your sister
has got the measles, which we think
would spread among the other girls if
Tom had not had it before, and he is
the only one left. | hope you will do
honor to my teachings; if not you are
an ass, and your mother and myself
your affectionate parents
