An Instrument of Fraud.

The law of bankruptcy needs
the serious attention of our next
Congress. Of the desirability of
having some avenue for the es
cape of honest debtors from
debts which it is impossible for
them to pay, there is no question.
To keep a debtor in such posi-
ton that he cannot enter upon
the creation Of wealth is of course
a detriment to the community.
If he is dishonest, the interests
of individuals demand that he
be restrained, and there is no
better way of restraining him
than to keep him under the bur
den of uncanceled debts.
The present law, however, is
not sufficiently stringent. 1t is
a cloak for dishonesty. tt is safe
to assert that large proportion
Of the vast array of failures"
in this country are money-mak-
ing operations. Upon an obser-
walton of the condition of the
majority of the bankrupts who
are known to any person, it will
be developed that they are ap-
parently in good circumstances
able in fact for the first time
in their lives to live easily and
without any anxiety. In very
many instances very many of
the debts scheduled are of re-
cent contracting-contractedaf -
ter the debtor knew that he was
hopelessly insolvent, or rather
he knew he was going into bank
ruptcy. Debts are thus contrat-
ed without the faintest shadow
Of intention to pay them, and
the law is too loose to punish
the theft as it deserves.
Whatever may be the merits
of the law, if it has a tendency
to foster raicality, it had better
be repealed, if it cannot be
amended, so as to prevent such
fostering of fraud. We do not
want any new means, nor the
continuance of any old ones,
for making more Williams than
we already have. We have
enough rascality, and that which
thrives luxuriantly, without any
help from Congressional enact
ments.-[ Chicago Western Rural.

CHEYENNE, w. T., Sept. 49,
The eastward bound passenger
train which passed here at 3 o.
m. to-day was stopped and rob-
bed by thirteen masked men at
Big Spring, Nebraska, 100 miles
east of this city tonight. The
robbers first took possession of
the station at the Springs, de-
stroyed the telegraph instru-
ments and compelled the agent
to hang out red light. When
the train stopped they boarded
it and placed the train men and
passengers under guard. The
express car was broken open
and the safe robbed of about
$4,000. The passengers here
were also robbed but their losses
are not yet known.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept.
21.-The abundant crops of cot
ton, corn and fodder in the val
ley of the Black Warrior, Ala
bama, have been entirely swept
away. The river suddenly rose
63 feet, which is in 9 feet of as
high as in the terrible freshet of
June, 1872. The planters had
just commenced picking cotton
and had not hauled their corn or
cotton from the fields. It is es-
timated that 10000 bales of cot
ton have been destroyed. Most
OF the planters are ruined and it
is doubtful if actual necessaries
OF life can be secured now. In
the town of Tuscaloosa, about
at the head of the devasted Sec
tons, the merchants had advanc-
ed heavily on these growing
crops.

The industrial condition of
Louisiana has been touched
upon in various ways,--says the
Boston Post-for it is just now
a significant and interesting SUBJ
iect of observation and investi-
cation. But we must look to her
great staple, the sugar crop, for
an index of her real progress
In 1850 there were consumed in
the United States, and mostly
produced in Louisiana, 10000
tons of domestic sugar. In 1862
the maximum production of
10000 tons was reached. In
1868 the crop dwindled down to
$4,000 tons, then to 10000 and
in 1865 to only 5000 tons. Since
then it has been slowly reviv-
ing, but at first very slowly, ow-
ing to obstacles which every in
telligent man only two well I'M
derstands. Now however there
are better returns to chronicle,
and a brighter outlook rises be-
fore us. The Louisiana crop of
the past season, according to a
report just issued in New Or
leans, amounts to 169,331 hogs
heads, or about 95,337 tons. It
is confidently expected that the
crop of 1877 rs will amount to
from fifteen to twenty thousand
tons more, due as much to larger
operations as to a superior yield.
The opportunities offered to en-
terprising young men in Louisi-
ana at the present time can hard
ly be surpassed anywhere
There is no danger of livestock
ing the sugar market Of the Unit
ed States for many years yet,
and land in that State can be
bought cheap, while at the same
time it will yield almost imme-
diate and rich returns. Mills are
now being erected in common
on the most approved plans,
while the old-fashioned sugar
houses and presses are going out
of existence.
