RANT.-The Chicago Tribune, one of
the most pronounced Republican
newspapers. thus happily ridicules the
rant of those Journals which look SO
anxionsly for opportunities Of foment-
ing dissension against the South:
1.-The newspapers which are still
busy in suppressing the rebellion and
aboIishiug slavery are in ecstasies over
the White League Of the South. They
use it as the old gentleman with q
story about gun used his foot. He
would stamp on the floor, start up and
say: 'Ehl eh! WHAT'S that?-a gun?
Well. speaking of guns. reminds me,
etc. So the trnly loyal editor writes
white League, looks at it. and ahrieks
in print: White Lsagucl Ah! trail
torsl Here! help! Save the republic!
Stuff the ballot-bo1es againl Buck up
the carpet Help the rogues!
help them, or that dreadful disloyal
League will destroy the glorious Union.

ransomed colored brother, by actually
establishing honest government in the
Soulful 1t is frightful prospect.

again and again. The raw-head and
bloody-bones story has fearful fasci-
nation to them.

AN EASY MATTER.-When the United

over degraded South Carolina. factiou-

Of oppression aud tho token o! disho-

however, they ran on The side walk,

of the Wagon and one of the horses
struck the Corner of Mr.. Curtains
Store, the tongue passing, for its entire
length through and into the building.
The blow was one of terrific force, and
beside iniuring the horses head, broke

BRISTOL'S TRIUMPH!
The Border Fair

By special invitation, the Editor of
the NEWS this A. NJ. stepped into a
buggy with Col. 1. B. Dnnn and drove
to the grounds of the Bristol Border
Fair, which we found in condition
much more advanced and according to
a plan much more nearly perfect than
we had hoped for. The immense en-
closure with its imposing gates had
been finished prior to our previous
visit. but we were surprised to find the
building, the stalls, and the track SO
farunder way. The track has required
alarge amount of grading and blasting
and will yet have 10 be widened in
more places than one. Mr.. Powers
has done great deal of work and has
done it remarkably well. The stalls
are nearly all complete, and are the
most substantial, complete and comfor-
table we have seen at any fair grounds.
Already the immense building presents
the most conspicuous front in the town.
1t is 55xl00 feet, and is two stories
high, and is divided longitudinally by
q wall, leaving the side next the track
to be occupied solely by seats, above
and below. This side is % feet wide.
The other side is 80 feet wide, and will,
be devoted to the exposition depart
ment. The stories are each II feet high
in the clear. The whole structure Is
solid and enduring, being supported
upoL stone, and the timbers generally
of oak and framed together in the most
substantial style. Mr.. Sam'l Stone,
the architect, is doing excellent work,
and the President and Directors speak
of him In unstinted terms of praise
There will soon be completed q well
and beautiful lake is in one corner OF
the grounds. There will be but one
boat on this lake, and it Will be ten

will be something worth seeing at the

course there to see 1t.

The Changes In the Bankrupt
Law

One important change is that while
now q failure to pay for fourteen days
man could he thrown into bank
ruptcy by a single creditor, there is an
extension of the time to forty days
The next is as to the power of any one
creditor to throw person into bank
ruptcy. Now one man to whom $50
is due can throw person into bank
ruptcy. As proposed to be modified,
it requires the assent of onc-fourth of
the creditors and one-third in value
This provision was made to date back
tc the time this Congress met, in De-
cember last. The present law makes
no provision for a discharge from
bankruptcy. By the new bill the
debtor may he discharged when such
debts are paid, or at the request of one
half of the creditors. Various other
improvements on the present law are
mentioned as reasons for accepting the
report as amelioratlng the rigor of the
present law.
