THE Shoe and Leather Reporter is in
clined to favor national insolvency act. 1t
says, ga thoroughly well-informed merchant
of our trade in Boston says that the feeling
in that city is general that Congress should
be urged to pass a law by which creditors
everywhere may share equitably in the assets
of defaulting debtor, and not be subject to
the capricious and variable statutes of the
several States. In some instances these
laws authorize preferences which literally de-
prive non-residents Of their rights. In this
age of mercantile light and knowledge, a law
for the collection of debts ought to be en-
acted that will relieve commercial men of all
apprehension of being the victims of sharp
practice in negotiations to save something
out OF the effects of parties whom they have
too confidingly trusted"

As looked at by the Albany Journal: "If
any one were assuming to speak for Mr..
Conkling which no one will dot would be
safe to say in all sincerity that he is not
seeking the presidency. Ifany one wanted
to sound the full depths of the truth-which
is certainly very proper thing to dot
might be surmised that Mr.. Conkling's own
thought turns to another honored chief, held
in high esteem by all Republicans. If any
one felt like looking forward to the contin-
gencies of the future-whch is always pru-
dent-it may be taken for granted that there
can be no conflict between these Republican

GOSSIP about the Democratic candidates: !:
A Southern Congressman remarks that there
will be no necessity for putting Hendricks on
the ticket for 1880, because the Democrats
are sure of Indiana anyway. 1t is apparent
enough that there is strong Democratic
sentiment in favor of taking both candidates
from doubtful States. Thus combinations
like Thurman and Wallace, Hancock and
Ranney, Tilden and Thurman are much
talked about. New York must have place
on the ticket, and if Tilden doesn't get the
first one, some lesser Democratic light is
likely to be awarded the second. These COM
binations are not strong to save. The
strongest ticket the Democrats have put up
for years was the 1876 ticket, and that was
unsuccessful.
The Portland daily press., 1878-12-10

The Tribune tartly remarks that General
Buffers plan OF forming new Democratic
party, which shall be ''the special champion
of human rights" out of the present Demo
cratic party, is in the highest degree timely
coming right on the heels of the South Caro-
lima election. When that has been done the
Forty Thieves should rise from their graves
and found new religion.

The Southern Planter, published in Vlr.

He too condemns the school system.

Where is the Land?

E. B. Perrin, 402 Kearney street,
San Francisco, advertisss various
tracts of land for sale, and this is
clipped from his advertisement,
viz:
"ARIZoNA-160,0O 600 acres of fine
grazing lands in Arizona, with an
annual rainfall of twenty-four
inches, and q climate equal to that
Of San Jose, at sixty cents per
acre"
A great many people informed
on Arizona lands and the
requirement of titles thereto,
will feel like inquiring not
only where this land is but at
what land office or by what means
he obtained title to such guam
tity? Our impression is that no
Spanish or Mexican grants have
been confirmed, and that entries at
the local land offices have been for
small tracts and in most instances
by actual settlers. We would not
intimate that Mr.. Perrin is offer
in for sale what he does not pos
sees, but cannot help intimating to
buyers that they would do well to
personally examine tho lands be-
fore purchase of them. Sixty cents
an acre is cheap enough for almost
any sort of land, but seems to be
entirely too cheap for the kind de-
scribed.-Arisona Citizen.

"The Plains"

Owing to the terribly muddy con-
dition of the streets last night, the
attendance at Turn-Verein Hall, to
witness Captain Jacks second rep
resentation, was not so large as 1t
otherwise would have been. "The
Plains" was put upon the boards.
The scene is laid partly in Utah
and partly in the famous Death
Valley of our own State. 1t is a
graphic and realistic picture Of
Mormon intrigue, Indian violence
and border stir and adventure. 1t
is highly sensational, the action
moves rapidly and the interest is
sustained to the end. The bowie
knife and revolver play a leading
part in 1t, and Captain Jack Craw-
ford approved himself, as OH the
first night, a gallant a nd debonnair
deliverer Of prosecuted innocence.
Woodland, as Bill Williams, did
some really creditable acting.
"The Plains" will be produced at
the matinee this afternoon and at
the regular evening performance.
