THE LAW.

The leading business men Of Syracuse,

petition to congress declaring:
That in their judgment the national
bankrupt law has failed Of meeting the

while comforting few or 40 benefits upon
the honest debtor or rightful creditor, it
has been a source Of much cofrupiios,
dishonesty and fraud, creating apprehea.

remains, has been on the iaaPeBse Il

The Times mar has genius also aud fe.
cundity of intellect. BE set his mental
forge TO work one night and by morning
the Times appeared brimtul Of Associ-
ated dispatches, all Of which cost the
reasonable sum Of FIVE cents. 1t was
easily done. He got his paper ready for
press, all except the dispatches; theS held
it back until the Knoxville train came

dispatches, head lines and all for it
takes work and time to write good head
lines-aRd had a force of printers ready
TO set up the whole business and have
the paper out by daylight. The Times
man continues to take the full Asso
cia,ed Press dispatches as usual ex-
cept when the train is behind
time. The Dispatch msn does not
see the joke and fails to smile. BE has
concluded that there is q hell, and can
prove the necessity for one in the great
moral economy Of the universe, and he
also sees the necessity for a change
of schedule on the railroad, and
that soon. He does lot pray for
the down train to plunge into the Ten
nsssee river at LOudoR, but he recognizes
that a misplaced switch in a level place,
or hot boxes over wheels may have their
uses. The Times man serenely enjoys
the fruits of his toll and genius, but we
should imagine thinks Of going to q
larger field where there would be full
scope for his superior talent and enter.
