fortunate client would ge: along better

4 novel suit has been instituted IL the
Sixth District Court. Two prospective de.
PENDANTS, confessing themselves insolvent,
seek to prevent the exercise of the inclna.
ton to sue on the part OF their creditors by
suing them first. The total assets fall nearly
eighteen per cent short of the liabilities, and
the object Of the suit is to prevent proceed.
ings in bankruptcy. and obtain such an ex.
tension Of time as will cause the assets to
swell to the extent of the demand the liza
biliters make on them. An attorney has
been appointed 70 represent the absent
creditors in a meeting ordered before no
tary public. 1t would be presumptuou, to
dictate 10 this gentleman the proper man
ner to insure the object stated in
the petition. of preventing any preference
of creditors. But Congress in the bankrupt
law has regulated this matter very effectu-
ally. As the case stands now it would ap-
pear that an inferior State court could pre-
vent the exercise CT the jurisdiction OF the
United States District Court. A petition of
an absent creditor in the latter court, with
a copy of the petition in this case filed as
evidence of bankruptcy, would alter things
very materially. After this was done the
present plaintiffs could be transferred, by a
suggestion of proceedings in bankruptcy,
from the Sixth Court, and no doubt the
time the case would take would satisfy the
most inordinate desire for an extension of
their supply of it.

Among the many commissions issued last

In reply beg to say gratefully accept
this expression Of your trust and confidence
in myself, and have pleasure in holding the
John A. Dix subject to your kingly de-
mand.
Acting upon this, the following order was

pointees and drove the tobacco trade to
New York. The merchants engaged in this
business desire to be kept free from this
ruinOus interference; they are the best
judges Of what the trade needs, and they
assert it can not survive this incubus. Let
US then leave them untrammeled. Both
buyer and seller are competent to manage
their own interests. > Leave commerce
alone, and free it from the restrictions
that incompetent inspectors would ham,
per it with. Let us have free trade
and freedom of action in all our
commercial interests. That law of 1855,
still on our statute book, is a dead letter
Let us expunge it altogether, and not at
tempt to revive its most Objectionable fea-
lures by passing such q measure as this now
before the House. The inspectors are un-
necessary. They have already caused .
large proportion of the tobacco trade we
once possessed to desert lis in order to be
rid of the incubus their existence forced
upon it. There is now a new era opening
to US. The funding bill is step toward
prosperity. 1t will relieve us of debt and
reduce onr taxes. Commerce, unrestricted,
free trade will again enrich our people
Governor Kellogg said in his inaugural ad-
dress that the executive had too much pa
tronage: that it embarrassed him, and he
wished it were otherwise. He said to
applicants for positions on the tobacco
board that they must take the inspec
torship as they found it; that it
was worth nothing. This bill fastens
on that trade an army of incompetent in
spectors; it shackles commerce, it binds it
hand and foot, and will ultimately drive
the entire trade away from US. Commerce
is the universal peacemaker-the source of
enlightenment and the fountain of national
prosperity. Ii we desire to prosper under
its benign influence, we must foster and en-
courage it by wise and just legislation
un.rammeled by vicious laws or political
combinations; protect it from ignorant in
reference. or tho more dangerous. insidiou
assaults Of unscrupulOus partisans: and
rather than attack it by such q bill as this,
aid and support it. by expunging from the
statute book that law, which, though tisre.
garded and imperative. stilI threatens its
existence.
Mr.. Sew4li WAS continually checked IN
his remarks by questions, points Of order
and personal attacks. but. while returning
effective replies to every interruption, still
kept the thread OF his argument, and his
able and eloquent address was listened 20
with marked attention Iy the majority Of
the House.
The House, leaving the motion undecided.
adjourned.

Our friends, NJ essrs. David C. Noise and
John F. Baringer, have commenced the
publication of daily paper with the above
title, which promises to become welcome
visitor to the counting room and a valuable
aid to the merchant.
1t will contain each day the arrival and
departure of all vessels touching at this
port, together with general information of a
like character. Its special object, to which
the greater portion of it's space is to be de-
voted, is the regular publication of steam
boat manifests. This is creditable enter
prise, and one in which every business man
will take an interest.
Our young friends are fully competent to
manage the business, have had great deal
of experience, enter on their task with en-
thusiasm and energy, and only require the
patronage they deserve to make it an as

SYhy NOT DisbanA the Armyp

ine fourteen generals nity nine stan OH.
GERS and 59S privates, which constitute the
uniformed militia of the State of Louisiana,
have shown themselves fully competent to
establish and maintain order wherever
they have been sent inside the limits o:
the State Of Louisiana. Although Louisiana
is far more turbulent than many of her sis.
ter States. Yet under all ordinary circum.
stances the military arm Of the executive
is sufficient 70 maintain peace. in all the
Northern States i: has long been so. and the
accomplished Adiutant General. in his re.
cent report to the Legislature. aludes TO
several States where the local militia has
shown itself suficien: to meet any emer.
gency that has arisen. One Of the results
of the war has been an inspiration Of con.
tdence in the citizen soldiery as our na.
tion's loyal dependence in time of need.
4 short time since we published the views
of General Sherman as laid before Il com.
mittee Of Congress. This great soldier--a
soldier as much by intuition as educatioE--
made the bold suggestion that the dag of
garrisoned Notifications as protection to
our seaboaris and harbors had gone by.
1t was becoming the province of our navy to
perform this work. while. by our rapid
means Of inland transportation armed men
can be ;nassed almost instantly at any point
where an enemy shows himself. Yet the
wise old veteran was opposed TO reducing
the army, ahd he demonstrated that more
men than wsre now in the avn; were
needed upon the frontier.
Last Wednesday. however. Con gressman
Wheeler presented. in behalf of his com.
mittee, his new army bill, which eontem.
plates the saving Of over SI,00O,00O By
dropping 5000 enlisted men from the army
rolls. The maximum strength of the army
now is only 10000 enrolled men, with 2253
commissioned officers, eighteen Of whom
are Generals: seventy are colonels, Or one
to every 42S men: one major 20 every 100
men: one captain to every forty-tight men.
amt lieutenant to every fwentysix men,.
that ia, supposin2 every regiment to be at
its full strength, which it never is. And
this army. composed Of 32,253 individuals,
all told costs the government over 1884,
100000 year, or. on an average, more
than $ll0O year for each individual.
This is the mere question OF pay. The
little affair OH the lava beds with the late
Captain Jack cost upward of 100000
more than $500. 900 for every Indian killed.
The little flare up over the Virginius affair
cost several millions. And 80 Mr.. Wheeler
finds the best way to economist is to drop
5000 enlisted men from the ranks of our
terribly over-officered army.
Now let us suggest a still more econoni-
cal plan: Disband the army entirely. Let
the States and Territories on the border de-
fend their own frontier, which they will do
much more effectively than the army has
been able to do, provided Congress will |
give the Governors thereof arms and money |
and authority to use them.
We need apprehend no other service than |
this for our troops, anyway. The Geneva |
arbitration and the Fish Polo protocol have |
that an ounce of diplomacy |
s worth many pounds of war.
