UNPREcEpENTEp EXPORTS.

The reports Of exports and imports
for the month of October have not yet
been made public, but the figures for the
port of New York indicate that the totals
of the country for that month will afford
a gratifying exhibit. The value Of the
export Of domestic produce from the port
of New York during October is $780,
25s, Goethe largest ever made from
that port in one month. The imports
we're also large, aggregating S25, 100000,
exclusive of specie. The specie move
ment during the month in either direc-
ton was so small as to be unimportant.
The heavy exports of merchandise con-
tinue, and exchange is weak on account
of the large supply of bills.
In view of these facts, it seems i'm
possible to check an early movement Of
specie from Europe to this country. One
fear may be found in the temptation
which greater abundance of money and
ability to purchase affords, to buy ex-
travagantly of foreign goods, whereby
the balance of coin that would naturally
come from abroad to pay for the. com.
modities which we sell, will be taken up
in goods that our people might and
would do without in more stringent
times. The only danger, however. lies
in the capacity of the Democrats and
Inhationists in Congress for mischief
Should they be able to pass the bill re-
pealing the Resumption Act, and enact
the Bland silver bill, our fattering pros
poets would fall into premature disaster
The prosperity of the country is in the
hands of the Republican President, anC
there is general sense Of relief in tn
feeling that he stands firm for sounC
currency and the keeping of all pledge
made by the Government.

THE BANKRUPT LAW.

In the last Congress the House passed
a bill repeating the bankrupt law, but
the Senate refused to concur, and failed
to suggest any amendments. The latest
proposition in relation TO the question is
on the form Of bill presented in the
House of Representatives by Mr.. Frye,
of Name. 1t provides that whenever
any debtor. individual, firm or corpora
ton in failing circumstances shall make
a voluntary surrender or assignment of
all their property, assets, estate and eff
fects for the benefit of the creditors,
without preference and without having
given any preference in contemplation
of bankruptcy, under the laws of the
State in which such debtor shall reside,
or in which the principle officer of the
corporation is located, such debtor shall
be discharged from all further liability
for debts existing at the time Of said as.
Segment or surrender; provided the as.
signed estate and effects shall be sufh
cient in amount to pay-per eentumI
Of such debts, and provided further that
this act shall not apply to any debts ow
ing in any 6duciary capacity. The evi
dence of discharge shall be the certi6
cate under the seal of the court having
jurisdiction of the accounts.
This has the merit Of simplicity, bu
it would be useless because it is entirel
lacking in machinery. The law shout
be so amended as to reduce expenses

A PREDICTION RECALLED.

The New York EUening Post calls at.
tention to prediction which that jour-
nal and other papers made during the
campaign of 1876 to the effect that a
Democratic success would prove injuri-
Gus to the public credit Hon. Lot M.
Morrill,, then Secretary of the Treasury,
in his speech in New York city. made
the same declaration. All based it upon
the ground that the Democratic party
had fallen into the control of the West.
ern infationists and repudIators. and
that the National Convention of that
party had declared, at the instance of
the infationists, for revocation of the
solemn promise of the Government to
pay its legal tender notes on and after
January l, 1879. The Democratic press
and those independent journals then la
boring to secure the election of Mr.. Til
den, were very indignant at such an in
situation, and some of them charged
that partisans were basely trying to drag
the credit of the country "into the mire
of politics." Such Democratic bankers
as Mr.. Belmont were brought to the
front to declare that there was no trou-
BILE and that the bankers whom he rep.
resented had no fears of any evil conse,
quences to the public credit abroad il
the event of Democratic ascendency.
The Post now fairly claims that tbs
action of the House, the Democratic
stronghold, proves that the prediction O.
1876 was well grounded. The first bill
the House considered was one providing
for the repeal of the Resumption act
and it would have been carried but fol
the Republican opposition, without de
bate. The second measure it passed wal
the Bland Silver bill. Were it not fo
a Republican Senate and President boil
these measures would become laws ant
there would not only be an end to th,
selling of four per cent. bonds, but Their
would be panic abroad in United
States securities which would result il
the utter ruin of the credit of our Gov
eminent and our deserved humiliation
as nation which breaks its pledges
Enough has taken place to show tina
Democratic ascendency is hostile to tn
national credit, and would ruin it b,
hostile legislation were it within its pow
er to do so.

REPEAL THE BANKRUPT LAW.

The administration of this law has
become so entirely mercenary and wick
ed that its immediate repeal is the duty
of Congress and necessity of business.
The theory that the property Of an in
solvent debtor should be equally distrib-
uted among his honest creditors is we'll
enough, as the world goes. If that is
the theory of the law, it is not the prac-
tice. The assets of the bankrupt are
divided nowadays between the debtor
and his relatives and friends on the one
hand and the members of the bankruptcy
rings on the other. The bulk of mod
crate sized estate usually goes into the
pockets OF the marshal, clerk of the
oonrt. register. assignee, and the attor-
neys who put the debtor through.
If the debtor is disposed, as most Of
them are, to save enough of the estate
to start in business again, no obstacles
will be placed in the way by any of the
officials. Bankrupts usually have more
property after their discharge than be-
fore. The men who get nothing, OIL
almost nothing, from the bankrupt es.
tate are the honest creditors, who deserve
it all. There is no such thing as honest
competition in business with this law OF
the statute book. 1t ought to have beer
repealed long ago, and would have beer
but for the money of the bankruptcy
rings, so lavishly used in the lobby Il
prevent it. We don't know an homes
man who does not say, "Repeal thi
odious law" And we don't know
good reason why it should not be repeal
ed, and the quicker the bctter.-Brat
tle6oro Retormer.

SENSIBLE CONDUCT.

There will be no break between the
President and the Senate. That is fixed.
The cloud of Misunderstanding and sus-
picion that was gathering between them
has disappeared. 1t never was very big
except in the minds of few persons
whose business it is to sow discord and
breed discussions. The Senate had
caucus, week ago last Saturday, at
which the relations of the President and
Senate were freely and dispassionately
discussed. AS result of the conference,
committee, consisting of Senators Ed
monds. Cameron of Pennsylvania, Ham
lin, Kirkwood, Bruce (colored), Chris
tlancy and Howe, was appointed to call
upon the President and come to an un-
derstanding. There are various reports
of what different Senators said at this
meeting, but as the understanding was
reached to cOnfine the purport of the
speeches to themselves, no reliance is to
be placed on the published reports. In
most cases they are mere guesswork.
The designated committee called on
the President. last Tuesday evening, and
unless all reports of the interview are
at fault it resulted in the Senators anG
Executive coming to an excellent under.
standing. In response to suggestion
that the judicial officers appointed at The
South should be thoroughly committed
to the reconstruction policy of the Re
publican party, the President replied il
substance that he had always made ant
always should make it condition tina
there should be full obedience to al
laws, and that as a matter of course b
never intended to appoint any one to Of
: fee who would not cordially and un
) questionably carry out the spirit an
letter of the laws in question. The Pre-;
t ident also explained at considerable
? length his Southern policy, and was ev
l identity convinced that it would concil
!, ate. stimulate and Yitallze the Republ
can party. He is reported as being col
s fident that the work of disintegratio
has commenced at the South. and thi

If Congress will but keep its hand off
the national finances it is obvious that
the Government, at least, will be pre-
pared to resume specie payments at the
date now fixed by law. A few days
since a member of the House called for
a statement Of the amount of gold in the
Treasury available for resumption pur-
poses. The facts might have been ascer-
tanned by referring to the monthly debt
statement, but Secretary Sherman re-
plies that the amount Of coin available
for resumption is nearly $6O,000,000.
The progress which is being made in the
preparation for specie resumption will
be appreciated when reference is made
to the report to similar inquiry made
sixteen months ago, which developed the
fact that on the oath of July, 1876, the
Treasury held $l7,37s,20O in coin in
excess Of liabilities. An increase Of
S42,500,000 in sixteen months, which
has largely been made within the past
six months, indicates that the Treasury
will be in condition to resume January
l, 1879. If the Bank of England il
able to rest banking liabilities in Grea
Britain aggregating G3,Oo0,0O0,0o(
upon a coin reserve of 95O,O00,000
there is no reason why the Treasury will
not be able to meet all demands mad
upon it thirteen months hence if Mr.
Sherman is allowed to pursue his policy

could without difficulty, frame the nee
essary amendments. If the law is re-
pealed, all bankruptcy cases will be
thrown into the State courts to be set
tied under local laws, many of which are
infinitely worse than the national law,
in their provisions and their operation.
In this State, and in many others, fa-
vored creditors are enabled to obtain
preferences IN the settlement of insolvent
estates. while under the present law a
pro rata distribution of the assets is i'm
perative and certain.

says that if any of the Senators went to
the White House expecting that the
President would abandon the Republi-
can party and seek an alliance with the
Democrats, they left with a different
opinion, for he showed that he is fully
identified with the party that elected
him. Now, "let us have peace. "--NaSh-

Our government has been making
praisewOrthy effort to encourage foreign
trade in American goods, especially the
South American Republics. Secretary
Evarts some time since called the atten-
ton of our Consuls to the matter, and
already the matter has excited a lively
interest in at least the Argentine Re-
public. Merchants there are said to
have called for the abolition of the dis
eliminating tariff against American pro-
ducts, and the modification of all laws
which interfere with the fullest CONNER
cial intercourse between the two coun-
tries. International efforts of this ma
ture are made in the right direction
