Congress is about to repeal the bank
rupt law. The Judiciary Committee last
week reported to the House of Represen-
tatives bill intended to accomplish this
purpose. The first section repeals the
bankruptcy act of March 81, 1867, and
all laws and parts of laws amendatory
thereof and supplementary thereto. The
second section provides that all suits and
proceedings now pending in United
States Courts, wherein an adjudication in
bankruptcy has been made, shall be pro-
ceeded with and governed by the provis-
ions of existing laws, which are con-
tinued in force only for the purpose Of
closing up suits and proceedings now
pending. The act is to take effect from
and after the 1st day of January, 1877.
After some discussion upon technical
points, the bill was passed by vote Of
lS6 yeas to 81 nays. The Senate will
probably concur in the measure, as nu-
merous strong petitions have urged the
repeal of the bankrupt law.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Senator Robertson of this State has in
troduced petition from the Clinch
Rifles, of Georgia, and the Washington
Light Infantry, of Charleston, asking
that the Secretary Of War be directed to
issue to each of these companies two hun
dred and forty Springfield breech-loading
rifles. These companies expect to form
part of the Centennial Legion, which is
to be present at the coming Centennial
Exhibition, to be composed of one COM
pany from each Of the original thirteen
States. The petition has been presented
in the Senate, and it is to be hoped its
request will be granted,
w. Magill Fleming, Solicitor Of the
Seventh Circuit, was convicted before
Judge Carpenter, at the present term Of
the Circuit Court of Richland County, of
being drunk while attempting to perform
his duties as Solicitor at Spartanburg in
1874. The case has been pending long
time, and the effects Of the verdict will be
the dismissal from Office of the defendant
besides fine or imprisonment, shssld the
appeal which he has taken prove ineffec-
tual. The Judge of the Seventh Circuit
is impeached for high crimes in appro-
priating trust funds to his own use and
the Solicitor convicted of drunkenness.
This is specimen of Republican admin
istration.
The Legislature has elected Messrs.
Nash, Meetze and L. Cain Regents to the
Lanatic Asylum. MI. Cochran seconded
the nomination of Mr.. Meetze, and said
that he wished the Democrats to be rep
resented in all the departments of the
State Government, from the highest to
the lowest positions, so that they might
share the responsibility of the admins
tration. We hope he is in earnest, and
would respectfully suggest that it will be
good time to advocate this policy at
the Republican Nominating Convention
this summer. If he will secure the posi-
ton of Comptroller Geseral or Treasurer
for Democrat We have no doubt they
will assume portion of the responsible.
ty. We imagine, however, that it is the
desire to place Democrat on few COM
mittees or such like, and charge them
with part of the responsibilities of the
fraud and corruption of Republican Off
cers. Such statements sound we'll, but,
unfortunately, end in sound. If the Re-
publicans are willing to give minority
representation why did they not manifest
it by giving us a fair districting Of the
State for members of Congress7 They
want to pretend now that they will be
very liberal hereafter, but as long as they
remain in power they will never allow a
Democrat to have any influence or power
if chicanery, gerrymandering or any
other trick can prevent it.

Senator Gordon made speech in At
lanta on the 14th inst, in which he
arraigned the Republican party as in
competent, corrupt, and, towards the
South, tyrannical. He said, also, that
the South must remove all apprehensions
caused by the wild utterances of Mr..
Toombs. The South had to make a
Christian fight this year against the
world, the flesh and the Senator from In
diana, and the national contest must be
on sound principles. Senator Gordon is
true Democrat, wise statesman and
an unsel6sh patriot, whose utterances al
ways command the attention and conf
dence of his hearers.

INNOVATIONS UPON LAW.

At q recent term of the Court of Cen
sral Sessions for Fairfield County, Judge
Mackey instructed jury, in the case of
the Statevs. james Hill, indicted for as
sault and battery, in favor of an acquittal.
The jury, however, convicted the party,
whereupon the Judge set aside the YER
dict and ordered noAe prosequi to be
entered, thus undertaking in high
handed manner to become the Judge of
the law and the facts, as well as to exer-
else the function of the Solicitor in dis
continuing case. This procedure is
sub.ersiye of all law and security, for it
makes the punishment Of every criminal
dependant upon the whims of Judge.
The Nngstree Star suggests that Judge
Mackey deserves impeachment for inter-
meddling in Judge Carpenters Circuit
and releasing Parker in an illegal and
unjusti6able manner, and We are disposed
to think the instance above cited might
very properly form another ground.
While the Legislature is in the impeach-
ing business it would be well for them to
look after such fagrant disregard of law
as Judge Mackey seems guilty of. We
suppose, however, that the Judge and
Governor. Chamberlain are on too good
terms for any such action to take place.
Mackey has shown himself to be Cham
berlain's Handy Andy on various occa-
sions, and during the Parker farce was
his especial conferee, and the Governor
has shown how highly he appreciates
Mackey's services by pardoning for his
benefit the convict Walker. Of course
he would defend him from impeachment,
and therefore while there may be grounds
for the Stars proposition for impeach-
ment, still there is no prospect of such a
check being put upon the Judge who has
the will and ability to put up such nice
jobs as the release of Parker; the release
without bail of the Crews who were
arrested for the Schell murder; and, the
setting aside of the verdict of a jury and
preventing new trial of the prisoner.

Rev. ALFRED BRONSON, of Prairie
du CHEN, advances a new plan for
the Improvement of the Wisconsin
River. lie proposes to put locks in
the river and thus check the current,
which has a descent of Is inches to
the mile to a fall of bat 3 inches to
the mile. This can be done accord
ing to his calculation, with ~ locks
of SIX feet lift, or Is locks of eight
feet lift. The plan has the recomen-
dation Of cheapness, and its expense
compared to the plan proposed by
the Government engineers of canal
the whole distance of lis miles
would be very triiiing. If it would
work it would be far preferable to
the canal which would have to be on
one side of the river, and of compar-
ative little benilit to people on the
opposite side. The great trouble has
always been the shifting of sand bars,
caused by the rapid current of the
river, if the locks would work, reduc-
ing the descent from IS to inches,
1t would make the current so slug
gish that the shifting of large bodies
Of sand would be unknown, and
permanent channel could be kept
open. The same means would guard
against lack of water during the
usual low water seasons, the locks
serving to retain it.. The plan de-
serves investigating, and if found to
de feasible, trial.

angural message of Gov. Ludington
I'VE lay before our readers in supple

himself, and extended comment on
our part is unnecessary. Like Gov.
Wnylor. the new Governors Of opin-
son that the Potter Railroad Law
needs to he modified, and this fea-
ture of the message is Of most i'm
portance We are prepared to be-
lieye that the law is defective, and
\ calculated to work injustice and in
Eiury to some extent to the railroad
ssproperty of the State; but great
@care should be taken in attempting
TO remedy this evil. Better leave it
us it is, than return to where we
were before its enactment. Then
the injustice and Injury to the peo-
4ple was far greaterthan the railroads
llow suffer. The Governor's PROPOSE
zion to fix maXimum rates for freight
and passengers, not to exceed rates
charged by the roads prior to the
enactment of the Potter Law, seems
to US to be too generous. Better say
''tiK q maximum that shall give a

such capital paid in by the people,

the claims were lawfully contracted it
was presumed that they would be
promptly paid, as they always had been.
Now this was meant to leave the
workingmen with the impression that if
certain authorities who had this work in
hand would only order it done, he, the
Comptroller, was ready to pay tho men
employed in doing it. But investigation
was pushed somewhat beyond MIR.
Green's Office. Mr.. Commissioner Mar
tin was interviewed, and here is what he
said:
why, Mr.. Green has been preventing
US doing this work for over two years.
He has raised every possible technical
nav for it. and we have a letter on file
in this office to that effect We have all
along been deferred from beginning the
work by him, although it had been duly
authorized. At last we went to the
Legislature, and only in June last did
We succeed in having special act passed
authorizing the opening of Riverside
drive and requiring the Comptroller TO
pay for the same. Mr.. Green fought
the act all through and at the last mo-
ment succeeded in having q clause in
serted requiring every portion of the
work to be done by contract. But. he
said," Green will wrisele out OF any
thing
Now while the metropolis of the State
over which he is the Governor is the
theater for all this discomfort and sui
fering. this official tyranny and quib-
bling, Mr.. Tilden is busy, framing
ISLANDERS against the Republican party
and writing priggish essays upon Re
form. Is it any wonder John Kelly and
the old Tweed retainers cannot learn to
like this selfish, grasping, misery little
politician? They recognize In him not
the man who, while possessing a full
knowledge OF Tweed's rascalities ex-
posed the same, but they regard him,
rather, AS the man who, when the Re
publican press had exposed these dis
honest practices. turned them to his
own account by desertins his old as
sociate and joining bis prosecutors. 1t
would not be unnatural if these poverty
pinched workingmen regarded with
bitter disfavor man whose measures Of
reform were of such a nature as to de-
prive their hands of work and their suf-
fering families of bread. Indeed one
may easily conceive of scheme of re-
form whose conditions should fall
heaviest where there existed the least
capacity for augmented burdens-and it
looks as if Mr.. Tilden's measures Of
home reformation had been devised in
spirit of selfish disregard of the poorer
classes among his constituency. At any
rate i. is only too evident that there are
thousands in New York City whose
claims upon Governor Tilden S attention
are quite as legitimate as the political
questions he has chosen for the text OF
his long wlnded, laborious harangue.

Black against White.

One of Governor Tilden's North Car
DINA organs CURLY Jumps the issues OF
the day by saying.-"Black against
White-twist and turn it as you please,
that's the issue in this and every other
State" This speaks what is uppermsst
in the minds of the White Liners. Mr..
Tilden was represented at Hamburg.
They who were slain were net his repre-
ssntativss. We see the Democratic
nominee for the Presidency standing on
the tallest stump he can climb, violently
gessiculating and trying to drown all
these untimsly declarations Of his Con-
federats supporters BY bawling IRE
FORM" But while he thus beats the air
and shouts himself hosrss. the Hamburg
assassins neither reform nor repent.
They persist in calling the colered pso-
MIA .piecers" and in numbering them
whenever they dare to assert their poll
tical equality. The discouraging fact is
that this North Carolina paper does state
the real issues as issues concern the
embittersd minds of the majority OF
southsrn whi.ss. Caste IS the nearest
thing 10 the southern heart; and not MI.
Tilden nor Mr.. Hendricks weigh . grain
in the opposing balance.
