THE BANKRUPT LAw.-On Monday
last, in Congress, Mr.. Sener, of Virginia.
introduced very important amendment
to the Bankrupt act, which will especially
affect interests in the State of Virginia.
Congress, by two acts, has legalized home
stead exemption in its application to bank
ruptcy matters, but Judge Bonds, exercis-
ing supervisory authority over bankruptcy
matters in the United States District
Court OF Virginia, has decided that.these
acts are unconstitutional. The effect of
Mr. Sener,s amendment will be to allow to
these bankrnpts in Virginia, and in any
other State where such IA decision may have
been made, a right ofappeal to the Supreme
Court, which they are now denied. 1t will
work this special result while giving APP
peals generally in all cases.

Senator Johns on, has petitioned the SEN
ate for the removal of his political disa-
bilities His petition states that he grad
,,ated FROM West Point in 1855, and served
on the frontiers Of Texas. During this
service he was twice published by Gen.
Scott, in general orders,'' for gallantry
in battle, and was severely wounded in an
encounter with the Indians. He further
says II resigned nay commission in the
United States army in 1851, being at the
time on duty as instructor of cavalry at
West Point. Ny father, S. S. Lee, Of the
navy, and my uncle, r. E. Lee, Of the al
my, had previously resigned. My resigna-
tion was duly accepted by the War De-
partment, before accepted other service,
which placed me upon the basis Of any
any other citizen Of Virginia. The petit
tion was referred to committee for e1-
animation.

RECOLLECTION OF PRESTON

A RECOLLECTION OF PRESTON s.
BRooKs-The Richmond estate Journal
speaking Of the Brooks assault ON Charles
Sumner, says OF Brooks:
We happen, moreover, to know that in
his lust illness he left {; number of special
ly friendly messages for Congressman Bur-
lingame, whom he had challenged for de-
nouncing the assault, but whom he after
wards declined to fight. Brooks lies bu-
ried in the little cemetery at Edgefeld,
South Carolina, and on his tombstone is
this inscription
Preston s. Brooks will long be remem-
bered as one in whom the yirtues loved to
dwell, though sad to us, and dark, this dis
pensation, we know Gods wisdom orders
I'LL things well.''
His mother-now very aged-is still liv-
ing IN that neighborhood, or was, a short
time ago, besides younger brother,
planter of large intelligence and culture,
but holding himself altogether aloof from
politics.
This disagrees with other accounts
which said that Brooks death was SO
sudden, and of such character-a stran-
gulation, that he could not have sent any
dying messages

A MAN OF THE PAsT-The Mecklen-
burg Va, correspondent of the Richmond
"Whig" says, that there resides in that
county gentleman, Mark Alexander, be-
tween eighty and ninety years old, in good
health, quite active for one of his age, and
whose mind and memory showno evidence
of decay. He has taken no part in poll
ties OF elections since 1860 until last year,
when he cast his vote for the Conservative
ii ket. He is one of the four survivors, of
the Convention of 80. He served in the
Legislature from 1915 to 1919, when he was
elected to Congress, and continued there
until 1888, and then retired. Since the
death recently of his friend and cotempo
rary, Mr.. w. N. Edwards, of North Caro-
lima, it is believed he is the only surviving
member of the 10Th and Goth Congress.

THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAIL-
RoAD.-The "New York Tribune" says,
ssthat the business of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad is very encouraging. At its
western terminus there is we'll arranged
line of steamers connecting with Cincin-
natl. The great need of the company is
an independent line of steamers from
Richmond to New York The
Baltimore and Ohio railroad have branch
road tapping the Chesapeake and Ohio at
Staunton. Should the present manage
meIlt of the latter road continue in default
on the interest upon their bonded debt it
is understood that the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad will not be averse to becoming
proprietors of the Chesapeake and Ohio at
price that would fully protect the holders
Of the first mortgage loans. Should that
event transpire Baltimore would become
the eastern terminus of the road and have
