ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF CRED
LII - ILL IINRS t..- - ---,

We have received q copy of the law re-
Gently passed by the Legislature on This sub
ject, and will briefly state its substance. I'm
der the old law, when an assignment was
made for the benefit of creditors, persons
holding judgments against said assigned pro
perty, could issue an execution at once and
sell it under the sheriff's hammer; under a
very recent act, ,however,t this cannot be done
When property is thus levied on by the
sheriff, the assignee can go into court and
have the sale stopped, the court issuing an
order of sale by the assignee and setting q
time for said sale to take place. Under the
law sales are already being postponed.

The President has not done so much for
high toned government as he should, we ad-
nit; but it is not good time to criticize just
now, when he is giving evidence OF better
things. - Gdzette O. Bulletin. IT,. 5.. ,.
We don't exactly understand what the
Gazette means by "giving evidence of better
things,p but we do know that the above re-
marks appeared about the same time that
Col.s Whitley ard ex-Attorney General
Williams testified in Washington that the
President had ordered the payment of 1000
of public money to "little Johnny Dayen
port" to carry the election of 1872 in New
York aud Pa. During the Presidential con-
test of that year, as shown by Treasury
vouchers, over $4,000 was expended in
New York CITY by Republicans and S35, 900
by direct order of the President, and against
| the remonstrances of Williams and Whitley
| For this no vouchers can be found. Is this
the "evidence of better things" to which the
Gazette alludes? And if SO is 1t the opinion
| of that paper that it tends materially towards
high-toned gsvernment?" We feel con-
strained to ask these questions because tt
the ordinary eye the efforts of the President
now or heretofore, TO do anything for "high'
toned" or even respectable government have
been invisible, 'i" '' ~

PORNEY'S LOGIC.

The Press says: s. ..r,. sy... e.
''The House bill giving impunity to every
scamp i'll the country who may procure a
chance to testify before some Congressional
committee has come to grief in the Senate,
as we predicted" nf Hii Hu7d ir
Inasmnch as honest and reputable men
never dealin swindling transactions we do
not see how the ends of justice can be at
tanned unless the evidence of accomplices,
properly supported, is admitted. If inno-
cent men alone can testify, our penitentia-
ries would be empty and the occupation of
the haDgmen gone. The policy to make
established to be shaken, and is founded on
o"snd principles In theg "Fishingcreek
Afederaey' cases it was thought to be an
admirable arrangement. In the 7''Molly
Mcguire cases conviction would have been
impossible without the testimony of parties
implicated. We believe that it is a good
plan TO ''set thief to catch thief" il
Oficourse the Republican press is terri
bly, alarmed at the developments being
made at Washington. They have no words
of censure for the guilty but express a mild
regret that they were detected. The denu-n
Citations against the Democrats are fierce
for bringing to light the rascality and cor
ruption of Republican leaders, and now the
storm of indignation is turned against the
witnesses, who were but the tools of theil
superiors in Office. True it is that
''No thief e'er felt the halter draw

CONFESSION AND AVOIDANCE.

political status of the late commissioners oi

on the Democratic party, While tacitly
admitting that its original statement was in-
correct, it makes the point that "it does not

True, but why blame the Democrat, and
not censure the Republican, or suppress a
material fact in the case. In law and

truth is as criminal as the allegation ofialse.
