Repeal of the Bankrupt Law.

The Richmond Dispatch of the 2Sth, in
a uswer to several questions from corre-
';pondent, gives the following information
in regard to the Bankrupt Law:
subscriber is informed that the repeal of tn e
bankrupt act is believed to take effect at the
hour OF midnight on Saturday, August 3lst.
The following statement recently published by
Thus. S. Atkins, register, and John r. Popham,
clerk of United States District Court, is believed
to be full answer to inquiries such as onr cor
respondent makes:
A debtor to be adjudicated a bankrupt must
owe $500, and have been resident OF this dis
trict for the greater part of the six months next
preceding the filing of his petition in bankrupt
He is not required to pay any part of his debts
of those in which he is liable security for
others. The law requires that his assets shall be
equal to thirty per centum OF the clalmS-Whlch
his creditors shall go to the cost and trouble OF
proving in legal form-against his estate, and
upon which he shall be liable principal debtor,
January, 1867
Debtors without cts can, however. be dis
charged by obtaining the assent of one-fourth in
numbe and one-third in value OF their creditors
who have thus proved their debts. In such cases
it is very that any debts are proved, IN which
event the bankrupt can obtain his discharge at
any time after sixty days from the filing OF his
case.
The records of the bankrupt courts show that
there is not one bankrupt i'll hundred who is
not entitled to his discharge.
The bankrupt is entitled to a HON estcad ex
emption OF $4,000, as against debts contractor
since the 9th of July, 1859, although they may
have been prosecuted to judgment, as well as
the congressional exemption of $500, and the az
ticles exempt under the poor-debtors law.

Yellow Fever.

The fearful ravages Of the pestilence con-
tinue throughout the South with ug abaeed
violence. Since our last issue the disease
has spread rapidly and with deadly effect.
In New Orleans it is raging and the death
rate is appalling. Yesterday 126 new
cases were reported, and A deaths. At
Memphis the city has been almost depopula-
ted, and the fever has even spread to the
camps of the refugees outside of the city.
Vicksburg has also suffered terribly, and
in each of these three cities help is needed.
The local physicians and nurses have been
worn out with their labors and many of
them have succumbed to the disease.
The fever has also appeared in Pitts burg

Judge Harris Speech.


1t is astonishing that Judge Harris will
persist in reiterating the statement con-
tanned in his speech published in the Record
in June last, as to the volume of currency.
On Monday last he repeated the fallacv that
in 1865 there were $4,000, 900, 900 of curren-
cy in circulation, and that now there was
only S50O,000,000 10 get the first amount
he includes in the circulation the $3.50, 000,-
900 Of Seven-Thirty notes, and $2l7, 000, 900
of compound interest legal tender notes,
when it is known that they were never in
any proper sense money, but profitable in
vestments, to which the holders chung as
long as they were permitted to do so. The
paper money in circulation in 1865 was
$685., 9:266, and in 1878, s691, l14, 400
showing "a larger volume OF paper money
circulation in 1878 than in 1865.
To assert that we have only $500.000, 900
of paper money now is to do so in the face
of official statements which gives auuhorita-
lively $40, 6S1 ,01G Of legal tender notes and
1923, al, 660 of national bank notes, makinga
total of 5000, 1922, sos of these two kinds OF
circulation alone. We have in the treasury
5000, 100000 of coin and coin certlficates.-
There are 5000, 100000 in gold coin held
for speculative purposes in Wall street; we
have balance of foreign trade in our favor
amounting to s250,OO0,000 more, besides
the coin held by private individuals all over
the country, because of the premium on it,
and its general absence from the channels
of business. When it is remembered that
nineteen-twentiethso of the commercial trans
actions are carried on by checks, certificates
OF deposit, and other exchanges, if will be
readily seen that we have more money
in the country than will answer the purpose
of ten times the business demand. 1t is Just
such reckless agitation of the currency ques-
ton and the dissatisfaction created by it
the centres of trade because of the wants of
confidence, and stagnates business.
We have not the time or space to-day to
fully notice Judge Harris position and views
on the finance question. We shall take oc-
casion to do SO hereafter, and demonstrate
to the satisfaction of every impartial mind
that he either has loosely studied the sub
ject or grossly misrepresented the facts
Not only this, but we shall show that the
financial policy of the Republican party is
the true policy of the government, and that
any departure from it, will bring confu-
sion and disaster TO the business of the
country.
