| "A distinguished practitioner ut the
Supreme Court bar furnishes the fol.
lowing article: The Act to revise aud
consolidate tile statutes of the United
States in force on the 1st OF D .cember,
1873, WAS approved On the 9th of
June, 1874, ana it rcpeals nll Acts of
Congress passed prior to the first
named date, my portion of which is
embraced in any section Of said revi-
sion; bnt the enactment Of said
REVISION Is not to uffect or repeal any
Act Of Congress passed since the 1st
day OF December, 1878; and all Acts
passed since that date are to have full
effect. us if passed after the enactment
Of the revision; and, so far as such

statutes and ns repeating any portion
OF the revision inconsistent Herewith.
The first practicable muadle which
this stute Of the law has produced
arises in the bankruptcy law. which
occupied Title 81 and covers 1G1 sec
tions of the book. During the same day
on which the revised statute was APP
proved, Congress amended the bank
rupt Act of 1867 in mauy important
particulars. The amendments called
for the Act of 1867, and not for the
corresponding sections in the revised
code, and tho Act of 1867 itself is so
transposed. if not changed, as to render
It impossible for the courts to proceed
with safety until after the publication
of the revised code. Many other
chapters present similar difficulty,
40 that it may now be truly said, no
one knows the statute law of the
United States.
