THE LAW.

An earnest attempt will be made dur

repeal the Bankrupt Law. Indeed,
several bills with that object in view,
have already been introduced in the
House. Congress could do nothing
for which the masses Of the people
would 10 moro heartily grateful than to
expungo this law from our statute
books. II was originally passed with
the best intentions in the world--to re-
lievs honest aud deserving debtors. and
give them a chance TO start anew in the
world. unhampersd BY debt. But 1t
opened a vast avenue to fraud, and dis
honest and undessrvins debtors were
not slow to discover. and enter upon the
avenue. As the law now stands. a
creditor has absolutely no security. All
tina, the debtor has to do is to go into
bankruptcy. pay Eve or ten cents ON the
dollar. receive his absolution, and start
again TO swindls other too confding
merchants. The Law is q Disgrace to
the nation. by all means let II he done
away with.

author Of all good. AMI the Supreme
Ruler OF nations. who has carried US
through manifold dangers aud troubles.
safe over another year. This proela-
nation will doubtless be responded to by
the Governors OF the several States. and
n general feast aud holiday will DO eel
sbnted ON the 10Th. II is fitting that il
should be. In no year since the war
have more genuine blessings been heapsd
upon US. We have passed through q
Presidential election unparalleled in the
history OF the land. The clouds OF
civil war began TO lower around us. but
they have all cleared away. The era Of
true reconciliation and peace has
dawnsd. and il now remains for US to
render dsvout thanks to the great
Creator for all these i~ncslculabls
blessings.

II Is proposed to heat the new school
house. now being erected in Gold Hill.
by means OF stoves in the different
rooms. The ground for this preference
on the part Of those having the building
in charge. is that such u system OF heat.
ing is cheaper than the ordinary furnace
and hot air register. and that 1t diffuses
~ much warmth " the latter. There
can bs no doubt Of this last proposition.
There is certainly as much warmth trans.
mitted by n stove in u limited space, a.
by u furnace in a more extended range.
But the warmth is Of q very different
kind. In the case Of the stove the same
mir Is being constantly heated over. The
air is being breathej by our children again
and again. and the oxygen, Of course, is
in 4 state Of constant absorption. A
heated body, like a large stove. tends to
increase this natural absorption, aud
thus the scholars are forced to breathe
an atmosphere vitiated not only by nat
ural but by artificial means AZ well.
The claims OF the furnace and the
register are /: first. that the heated air is
never used twice. A fresh draft from
below is constantly rushing in to take
the place Of the utilized element which
has passed above never to return. This
heated atmosphere simply takes it,
place with the pure and healthy air Of
the sehool.room. making ii a little more
dense. but taking nothing from its
healthy properties. The oxygen is not
absorbed by this current OF hot air. II
simply displaces the atoms and makes
Don for itself. and the scholar loses
nothing Of the essence Of life. Second.
that the furnace and register are really
more economical in the long run. than
a series OF stoves which require replsn-
ishing every few minutes. The Fourth
Ward school OF Virginia Is heated entire
ly by furnaces. II has been in operation
now about n year, and in that time il
10 estimated that the entire cost OF
the apparatus has been saved in the con.
sumption Of fuel. Certainly. then.
there is no economy. but rather reckless
extravaganza, in the use Of coal stoves
in any large public building.
II il not yet too late to change the
plans Of the new school.houss in such q
manner as to secure = furnace and regis.
tiers. Mr.. Pasmore. Superintendent OF
Public Instruction. favors such a
change. and Mr. Bennett. tn. architect.
will make 1t, IL so directed. We earnest.
ly commend this subject to the consid.
OF those having the matter in
