American Sailors and French Soldiers
One Of the Former Killed.

NEW YORK, June 22.-The Belfast
(Ireiand) Netys Letter publishes an ae-
count Of an affray which took place at
Nice, June 9Th, between American sail
ors and French soldiers. 1t appears that
on the morning Of the fifth party OF
half q dozen seamen belonging to the
United States steamer Franklin pre-
sented themselves at a liquor shop, when
one of them, under pretense of seeking
change for q piece of gold, made dash
at some money in the hands of the pro-
prietor, and got possession of it. A reg
ular row ensued, and blows were freely
exchanged. The shopkeeper, finding
himself getting the worst of it, cried for
help to a neighboring military post. A
party soon arrived, and battle followed
between the soldiers and sailors. The
former seem to have made but little use
Of their weapons at first, but 8 private
seeing his corporal in the grasp Of sail
or and in danger OF strangulstion, rushed
upon him with his bsyonet and ran MIN
through the body. The wounded man
was conveyed to the hospital, where he
died next day. His comrades were car
ried to prison.

THE BANKRUPT LAW.
Provisions Of the New BII Passed by
Congress.
Washington dune ITth) Special to the Gin
cinnati Conmezcial1

Washington dune lTth) Special to the Gin
cinnati COnme7cial.l
The principal points Of the new bank
rupt bin, which only requires the Presi-
dents signature 10 become law, are rs
follows; Forty days are allowed TO
elapse before q merchant or trader who
fails 10 pay his commercial paper is liza
be to he thrown into bankruptcy. The
assent Of One-fourth in number and one
third in value OF the creditors is required
TO throw n debtor into bankruptcy. This
provision relates back to the first Of last
December. Proceedings may be diseon-
tiuued whenever a debtor pays those Sc
cured debts which were the ground of
throwing him into bankruptcy, or when
ever, with the consent of the court, he
and a majority Of the creditors shall ask
for a discontinuance of the proceedings.
In order to set aside hypOthecated pledges
or liens on the bsnkrupt's estate, it
must appear that the party dealing with
the bankrupt knew that he intended
to perpetrate fraud on the bankrupt
law, and that he intended to 60 into
bankruptcy. When a loan is made to a
bankrupt in good faith and security Ia
ken, with the intention of aiding him to
pull through, it shall be considered as
having actual value, and the security
shall not be invalidated by proceedings
IN bankruptcy. A voluntary bankrupt
may have his discharge If his estate pays
thirty per cent. of his debts, or, provided
be obtains the assent Of the same num-
Der Of his creditors as is necessary to
throw him into bankruptcy. An invol-
untary bankrupt can get his discharge if
his conduct is free from all fraud, and he
is innocent of any violation or infringe
ment Of the bankrupt act. Assignees
are prohibited from dividing fees with
other persons engaged in the case. Com
position Of creditors may be made with
the debtor, providing a majority
Of the creditors join, were ap-
proved by the court, for the release
and discharge OF the debtor. The fees
and expenses are reduced one-half until
the judges Of the supreme court shall
establish a permanent reduction and
proceedings. All the acts of
the persons connected with the execu-
ton Of the law shall be made public IN
the shape of full and minute reports
from the clerk, The assignee, the mar
shal and the register. Original jurisdic-
ton is conferred upon the Territorisl
courts, with an appeal to the supreme
court Of the Territory.

NASHVILLE, June e22.-Saturday night
between eight and nine o'clock Colonel
Mart. L. StOekard, a prominent citizen
OF Maury county, living at Mount
Pleasant, twelve miles from Columbia,
was attacked on his lawn by two un-
known would-be assassins, and beaten
over the head with heavy wOod-wagon
standard. The first blow was struck
from the rear, striking him on the left
side Of his head, cutting the ear in two
and crushing his skull; the next blow
was evidently intended for his forehead,
but struck and broke his lower jaw. The
object of the assassins was robbery, IS
they took two hundred dollars from his
person. Colonel Stockard is in a critical
condition, but conscious, and says he
has no idea Who the robbers were, or
whether white o. black.
