Diplomatic Expenses.

According to the documents which the
inquisitive Democrats in the House are un-
earthing, the contingent expenses of Minister
SchencE, for the year ending June 80, 1873
were over SIC. O0O-including q small bill Of
5000 for one quarters telegraphing about
the Geneva business. Last year B. F. stevens,
the London dispatch sgsnt was paid the trifling
sum Of $l1 Goo Last year, toe, the State Depart
ment disbursed over $40, 900 for sending mail
matter to its agents abroad; and it should be
remembered that not only do the ministers
and consuls get their letters and papers free,
but Ill their families and friends share the
same privilege.
We do not blame the Republicans for OBJ
jecting TO these revelations of their psrty's
reckless extravaganza. but W hardly think
the people, from whose pockets the cash
comes, will be likely to complain. On the
contrary, We have abundant evidence that the
more Of this sort Of investigation there is the
better the people will like it. Possibly it
may may some day breed reform, and thereby
tighten the burden of tax-payers.-&. Louis

The Bankrupt Law.

The House Of Representatives on Tuesday
passed an act by large majority repeating the
present bankrupt Law, to take effect January
1st 1877. Mr. Kasson (Republicsn, Iowa)
opposed the bill, saying that it placed the
whole creditor class of the country in the
power of the debtor class. We have carefully
studied the workings Of the bankrupt act
during the last few years, and We cannot say
that We agree with Nh. Kasson; but there is
no question that, taken all in al, the bankrupt
act has been . detriment, rather than
benefit, to the commerce Of the country. The
The enormous fees and expenses which were
authorized under this act, encouraged dis
honest failures and have driven creditors to
accept settlements rather than put their
debtors into bankruptcy, settlements of 20 to
30 cents, instead Of 50 to IS cents, being con.
sidered by dishonest men Q capital business.
The intricate provisions and great delay
pending their execution has disgusted the
whole community, both debtors and creditors,
until, like the artist who vainly endeavors to
make . successful picture Of q difficult SUBJ
ject, ct last gives it up in disgust and with
one stroke OF his brush wipes out the whole
conception, 20 the pubic ct this time are
ready TO wipe out the bankrupt law, root and
branch, rather than to further endeavor to
make it work successfully. Skiliful rogues
have made it's provisions Q cloak for fraudu.
lent practices, while honest debtors have fire.
quently suffered severely by its provisions
The experience Of bankrupt laws heretofore
has been that they only lasted from one to
two years. and we think we but echo the
opinion Of the business men when We state
that We believe the present one has already
outlived its usefulness

It will be observed, of COURSE that the pro-
