THE BANKRUPT LAW.
~. I..ui- Eer;,'iirsn.
Senator McCreery's bill for the re.
peal Of the bankrupt law proposes to re-
peal it absolutely. with the simple con.
ditipn that all bankrupt cases pending
in the L. :. courts district since October
20. 1877, shall be tried and determined
under the law as il exists. What op.
position there is to the repeal of the
act comes from those who think that
some bankrupt law is necessary, and
that it would be better to amend and
improve the present one than to
abolish it entirely. They argue also
that the evil effects Of the existing law
are nearly exhausted with the crop Of
bankruptcies committed to it by the
collapse Of 1873. The majority Of SOL
vent business men, however, state
that all efforts to amend the law have
failed through the opposition Of the
officials who reap such large fees from
it. that there is no choice between its
utter repeal and continued subsection
to the expensive processes and frauds
that are permissible under it.
